EDITORS REPUBLICAN:
The remarkable dryness Of the
weather is becoming a matter oil
considerable interest. A remarka-
BILE dry fall followed by a winter
and spring almost devoid OF rain or
much snow leaves the earth IN
very dry condition indeed. Vegeta.
ton begins to show the effects oi
the drouth already, and unless we
are visited with frequent rains dur
ing the balance of the season many
crops will prove failure.
The Spring trade in our village
has been pretty fair, and in fact
might be considered good if there
were not so many dealers amongst
whom the trade is divided. This
place, like all others, is greatly over
done in nearly all kinds of trade,
and as each will command a small
share Of the custom,it divides the
thing up into such small lots that
no one can boast of a really good
business. Opposition we know is the
life of trade, but there can be too
much of a good thing, making 1T
really worse than monopoly.
Miller d Taylor's new building is
approaching completion. One OF.
the rooms is already occupied by
the post office. The second story
of this building, which contains
seven or eight rooms, economies all
space in a better manner than have
ever seen before. There is no waste,
no loss anywhere. This perfect
arrangement was brought about by
a first class architect, and seems to
illustrate the propriety of securing
such valuable aid when well ar
ranged and convenient building Is
wanted.
The foundation for Mr.. Brenne-
mans mammoth three story block
is nearly finished. This structure
will be great improvement to our
village, but l fear the proprietor
lacks the good taste to have good
architect sketch out a fine plan in
advance. However,it will be large
building, ,and hope an ornament to
the place.
Some persons must have an idea
that the coming Orrville Fair will
be a rusher. A gentleman was here
some time ago to get permission to
manufacture pop corn candy on the
grounds, and theatrical troupe has
written to engage the hall for that
time. With good inducements there
is no difficulty in securing a large
crowd at this point.
John Larmer, who made such a
dastardly attemptt to violate the per
son of a young girl near this place
last month has been arrested and now
lies in Wooster jail awaiting his trial.
His capture was brought about en-
tirely by railway men, The employ
ers at this station sent a written de
scription in advance of the publish
ed reward to the baggage agent at
Pittsburg who put the matter into
the hands of the detectives. The
detectives traced him to Westmore
land Co., Pa, and there, with the
assistance of other railway men
pursued him on an engine and pick
ed him up. When arrested he was ta
J ken from the officers by the author
, tiles of that County who had an ole
charge against him for larceny, but
, reuuisition from the Gov
ernor of this State brought hin
through. The County Commission
ers and Mr.. Chatelain, the girl''
father, offered a reward of 5000 fol
his arrest. Larmar is well know
, desperate and is a man of power
full strength and desperate pur
: poses.
