sary TO use every precaution against FIRE. With
the view that our citizens might sleepof nights,
without fear Of being consumed before msrning,
a patrol OF twelve men have been put on duty

other duties 10 perform, aside from watching
for fire, will be seen from the following discrip-
tion by the reporter Of the COMMERCIAL, Of ludi-
crous incident that occurred . few evenings
since "On the evening 10 which we refer,
there being no signs OF FIRE, at quite late hour,

an organization to procure aid for the sufferers
from fire. The ladies generally are most earn

The ladies of Perrysburg acquired high
reputation for their benifeence to the sick anC
wounded soldiers and their families during th,
war, and we are very sure their sympathetic ef-
forts will be no less effective in aiding .thos'
who now suffer from the calamties of fire. Thei'
efforts in this direction have already commenced.

The New Map of Wood COunty.-On
a careful inspection Of the new map Of Wood
county, just published by Messrs. NEWTON and
MEHRY, we can W ith much pleasure say, that
IN point Of mechanical display, accuracy Of de-
tails and economy in price, Il will favOraby
compare with any map of similar character that
has passed under our notice. In considering its
price, IS, il must not be forgotten that the labor
attendant in its compilation and getting IN, has
been very crest, while its limitation to review
Of the locale Of Wood county, necessarily limits
its circulation and thus enhances its price TO
those interested. The subscription price was
originally placed at 81, but the present Propri
eiors, desiring to place II in the hands Of every
farmer and OF all our business men, have redu-
ced its cost TO IS. We unhesitatingly affirm
that those interested in Wood county matters
can make no better investment Of IS, iban thA
made by the purchase Of this map, II is both orna
mental and very useful. .i3lszs

response by addressing the proprietors, Nessrs
