: The disposition seems to be in favor of Au
gust llths as the day for the meeting Of th
editorial fraternity of the 5th and 9th districts
at Put-in-Bay. Won't the Catawaba suffer
nor nothing, among the able, representa-
tiyes." Let 'ena went.
The degree Of D. D. has been conferred up
on Rev. E Bushnell, of this place, by Marietta
College. This is deserved compliment tC
the man and minister, and coming from one
Of the Oldest and best Colleges of the West, is
one he can fully appreciate.
A Michigan rough abused Mr.. Kinzer Of
the Tifin House, at Tifln, on the 23d, and al
though he complained both to the Mayor and
Marshal, neither would take steps to arrest
the rowdy. Had he been asleep, perhaps they
might have done as desired.
The work shops of the Mansfield, Coldwater
and Lake Michigan Railroad, are to be erected
at Mansfield, the contract to that effect hav-
ing been signed by the Pennsylvania Central.
That's business. The works are to be erected
by the time the road is completed.
Rev. Newton, of Norwalk, preached in the
Presbyterian church, last Sabbath. The sub
ject of his discourse was e'ReIigion in Prac-
teal Life,p and it was well handled. Quite
large audience was present, and were highly
pleased with the tenor of his remarks.
The Bellevue Power Company have adver-
tised for bids for,the erection of a building 4Ox
l55 feet two stories high, to be of brick
Bellevue is growing, and the mere prospect
Of such an establishment being built, has
given an impetus to improvements generally.
WIN. Case, Proprietor of .'Whittlesey's
Dyspepsia Cure" is about to remove from
Norwalk to Toledo. Norwalk, looses a good
man in lOOsing "BiIy," and Toledo will be
gamer. Such men are worth hundred 9TH
ers, with means but without enterprise, to any
community.
The game of ball at Clyde, on Monday, re-
suited 96 for Croghans and 25 for the Clvde
club. Up till the 9Th inning the score was in
favor of Clyde, when the Croghans rallied and
pulled steadily ahead. The umpire was
slightually partial in his decisions, or there
would have been a much greater difference in
the score. But the game passed off pleasantly.
A couple Of sailors were wandering about
the Toledo docks, few days since, when one
of them was attracted by the appearance of
tombstone that lay on the dock, awaiting
transportation. Upon a close examination, he
exclaimed: "HellO, Bill, come herep and
pointing to the stone, added: 'sThere, that is
the inst time have heard from my father for
fifteen years"
The moonlight excursion party, on last
Thursday night. didn't have as much moon
light as they expected, but more storm. New
ertheless they realized that
'If declining the moon leaves the skies,
Wen dance by the shining Of each others eyes.p
And they did, if it was a little sloppy on deck.
The ezcursionists, however, enjoyed the trip
amazingly, and propose having another,
when, it is hoped, there will be more shine
and less rain.
While wandering in dream-and few
nights since, we fancied we heard the silvery
strains of stringed instruments shimmering
upon The air of that arcadian region, and we
ought, in duty bound, to have awakened, but
we didn't. Fainter and fainter grew the
strains, more weird like and distant became
the melody, until it faded out in the pluto
nian shades, or we fell sound asleep, and we
can't tell exactly which; only we learned in the
morning, we had been seranaded by some
amateur musicians, who have our thanks for
discoursing such shooting strains. Come
again, and we'u try and wake up.
Read J. P. Elderkiu's advertisement, which
appears this week. HIS stock of tobacco and
cigars is complete.
The ladies of Findlay dress with better
taste than those of any town in the State. We
throw down the gauntlet-who dsres take it
upg-COlVier.
What fair damsel has smiled on Fred now?
he has spasms occasionally, if not periodically.
Quite a number of the ladies of the ton ton
visited the show last Thursday, and stayed to
the stale negro concert. Well, whose business
/ is it?-Findlay Courier.
Not yours certainly. In Country towns
they always stay through the whole pro-
gramme.
Who Rang the Bell?-About eleven
O'Clock on Monday night, an alarm of fire was
given by the ringing of the fire bell, and peo-
pie hurried out from all directions to aseer-
tain the locality Of the fire. OF course they
found, after sufficient running, that it was a
false alarm. If it can be found who gave the
alarm he may learn that it is serious joke to
meddle with fire bells.
