SANDUskY, O., June 2G, 1871.
JoTTINGs BY THE WAY.
Sanduskv is waking from her slum-
Der shaking off her barnacles dlsre-
carding the fosslized money holders
who after a few years of active accu-
mutation have retired to their shells 70
let public improvements take care q
themselves.
All branches of manufactures and
these are many, notwithstanding the
scarcity of money, are prosperlng.
Sandusky needs a Central Depot. IL
however one were centrally located al
the termination Of Columbus Avenue
on the Bay, where passengers could
readily change to the steamboats,
where travellers could at once be in he
heart Of the city, il would be great
public improvement. But il ii were at
tempted, probably, some one who has
a corn pasture on the outskirts, would
start up and say "Locate your depot Oh
me- ground that may sell lots. What
il The public are compelled to hire hack
men, or tramp from railroad to steam
boat-what in the public advantage TO
my interest"
TIE co OPERATIVE GROCERY
carried on by the Worklngmen's Asso
citation, j. dong well. 1t has $50 o.
800 members, with a capital Of some
$4,000. Mr.. {. Clarkson IS president
This Congressional District will send
strong men 10 the State Convention al
Columbus, on the -4th Wednesday il
July. The MessrsS West have agar
taken pUss, ssion Of their property.
THE WEST HOUSE.
1t is 20 convenient, 50 central, 90 neai
the steam boat landing, SO spacious
and airy, and kept by experienced own
ers, who are renovating and putting in
new furniture, it may confidently be re-
lied upon. Add to these, their chic
clerk Is Mr.. j. A. Rose, who has a wide
reputation az a courteous gentlemen
and thorough landlord.
THE ISLANDS
are increasingly popular as a summer
resort for parties seeking health, recre.
alton, amusement or relaxation from
toll or care. The railroads are gener-
Gus and accommodating Parties are
almost constantly arriving principally
on the Baltimore aud Ohio, and G. S
ID. III. Il. Il. Last season hundreds
could not find accommodation at the
Islands. Private houses were filed.
This season the Beebee House and the
"W est" or "Put-in-bay House" have
both been greatly enlarged, The mum
Der of small row and sail boats has
been increased, and the public has be-
gun TO appreciate the enterpnze. On
The Gath Messrs. West and Sweeney
had 500 guests in their large hall for
dinner.
1t was on the occasion of the cele-
bration Of the birth St. John the Bdp-
list by the Free Masons
About IL the Evening Star, the Il.
+. Ferris, the Reindeer, the large pro-
peller Hanson City and the Jay Cooke
all arrived, crowded with passengers.
The multitude and want of dock room
in landing prevented the forming a
procession. The Knight Templars
however, and some Royal Arch Ma
sons formed and marched to the grove,
where after a welcome they adjourned
for dinner. After dinner and devotion
al exercises, the audience were adj
dressed by DIR. A. g. Mackey, who
gave a learned, profound and interest
ing historical account of the various
steps by which Free Masonry had
reached its present influential position.
He was followed BY Gen. Albert Pike,
Of Washington City. While we dls-
sent in some degree from one or two
points in its implied theology, we con
tcss to having very rarely listened to a
discourse 40 eloquent and at the same
time so instructive. But these address
es are IN substance published in this
mornings paper-but we have looked
In vain tor some of the most brilliant
thOughtS-sOme Of the most burning
sentences. No adequate idea can be
formed of the 1eight with which some
of the thoughts fell on the assembly
"We are making laws for the future
as those who have preceded us, made
laws for us. Every word we speak is
engraved upon the air and viii be read
by superior inteligences FOREVER. Ii
is either for good or evil, and therefore
our example should always be for good. "
"A thought noted down, Will in the
course Of time, perhaps, arouse up pco
pie to duties of valor and strength"
I'VE are all passing away Those
who live after US shall see if our eyes
do not behold it, the full glory Of the
work.
"Thc c-oak OF clerical ravens and the
chaticring of surrliced jays, may pre-
dict decay for It-hut ages will mark
the periods of its growth, as the years
with consecutive rings do those of the
oak. Free Masonry is of God and the
powers Of darkness cannot prevail
against it," BozRAH.
