PhRRX9BURG.
Time writes but few wrinkles upon the
brow Of this old town. Beautifully located
above us on the Maumee, historically INTEREST,"
ing and famous in many respects, Il is one Of The
most inviting towns for residence and retirement
that we know o. Things 20 on here as they do
in all settled places. There is no room for BAR
terers with chance or wayfarers upon the pub
tic current. Trade Is reduced 10 proportiouate te
margins. and each can chase his favorile phan-
tom with little hope Of widening the stream Of
prosperity. While this is substantially true,
there is room and business for all, and not a
single effort should be relaxed TO provoke de-
cline.
The neighboring town Of Maumee Is similarly
located, with like attractions and advantages Of
approach snd communication with the OOiside
world. These towns have long been riva's,
and instances Of hostility are as numerous as
others are sntquated. Long ago the law-ObscrY-
ing citizens OF Maumee were taunted with the
title Of "Dritisbers" by the Perrysburgers, and
the fishery question then as now, was vigorously
agitated,, and feuds provoked to such an extent
that the juvenile intercourse between the towns
was completely ruptured. Disasters in either
were subjects OF rel icing at the opposite shore.
II will be remembered that Maumee was once the
county eat nf Lucas equity, and, hat Perrstu 8,
more recently, bore the same relations to Wood.
In an unlucky hour the naughty spirit OF the
Britshers " was smittcu with sore nifilction
To avoid allusion to the tibulatons of the times
we will simply say they lost their couy y-seais,
and here IL Is not recorded Of Perrsyburg, that
Christian charity in her neghbor's Rffc6on was
exercised to any considerable extent, But let
us 60 on down the long lane till we come to the
fnger-bOard marked retribution. We skip the
local broil in this case also, and point our hnger
a l., q he inf nd hnhnld the
seat Of Justice at Bowling Green. Tally one Tor
Maumee How high is dot, eh 2 ask they.
Now, we have the mn ignanimity OF purged dau-
NEE 10 compare with the hau,eur ct old Perrys-
burg. These good people cfered to extend a
helping hand to the latter in their hour Of need.
Although il were impossible, we give them 'he
benefit Of sincerity ofintention. They proposed
to assist their neighbOrs TO retain their honor by
offering to cross the river and vote with them.
The unholy pride OF either has been subdued,
and they now exist with sympathizing relations
tu each either. The genial influence OF the
school house, of which either can boast with
pride, has done much 10 establish harmony, and
now we NAV infer that il they are mutually
"preity behaved" there may be a good store Of
prosperity bequeathe proportionately To-
each in the future. They are keel ing the web
and the bat from their temples of justice " by
appropriating them for educational purposes,
and doing other good things that SAVIOR OF enter
prise.
As compensation for her losses, Perrysburg
gets a special accommodation train to-day to
and from Toledo. The Dayton q Michigan
Company are wise in this particular, and the
citizens are greatful for the advantages afforded.
Toledo can not have surfeit Of suburban. CON
venieuces. Neither can our towns De brought
in too close a relation with Toledo. The other
roads might look to their interest in this matter
Since we have been placed so close to our neigh
Dor up the river, LEI us look over the list and
see what they have there to attract US thither:
