On IhuEsoay morning Of last week, the car
riage factory At Painesville, was struck by
lightning. The workmen were shocked, but
not injured. A rod on the Academy building
was struck and torn from the building, but
the building was not injured. Thieves are
numerous, and robberies frequent, at Paines-
vile.
The Croghans went "down like wolf on
the fold," TO Toledo, last Saturday, to scoop up
the InvincibIss, Of that city, but were wOrsted
10. They, however, only played seven in
nings to the IEvinoibles eight, as they had to
leave for home on the evening train. The In
vinciblss play on the CrOghau grounds in this
city, on Friday, (tO-day)
A terrible railroad accident occurred at In
dependence, on the B. & OR. R., on Thurs
day night Of last week. An excursion train
densely crowded was returning south from
the State Fair, and when near Independence
collidsd with the express train north. Two
cars were telescopsd, and four persons killed,
and tWenty-six wounded.
An absent minded citizen living near Belle
vue, drove to town one evening last week,
tied up his horse, did his errands and walking
home went to bed In the morning he could
not find his horse OF buggy, went to town to
make known his loss, and found the missing
property just where be had left it the evening
before He could hardly credit the facts, how
ever.
Hon. Wn. Mungen was advertised to ad-
dress the Democracy at Benton Ridge, on the
Sd, and was on hand but there were no Dem
crats there TO hear him, and he didn't speak.
They were waiting the news from Vermont,
and were suffering under nervous prostration.
The song of the cider mill is heard in the
land, and the beverage trickleth which Young
sters delight to imbibe through straw.
Sloane is laboring hard to secure an cleo
ton. he ran train from FindIay to Tihn
and back, last Friday-64 miles--for so cents
the round trip. The public are now delight
ing in free or cheap rides, at Sloane's expense,
the only thing they were ever known to en-
joy at his expense, however. They better
ride all they can now, for lol the Sth of Oc-
tOberOometh, and after that they will have to
pay for the privilege
While in Tiin, last Friday, we heard a
gentleman charging that some of the Demo-
cratic delegations from this county, Che said
this city, but we could hardly credit that)
stopped at q store in Fort Seneca to refresh
the inper mali, and when they went away
three whips were missing from the stock in
trade of the store. Now the question is what
did they want with those whipsP Were they
intended to ''whip in" the unruly?
At Clyde, last week, the Liberals and Dem
ocrsts, formed Greeley Club. Col Chap
man was called out, and remarked: AMr. |
Chairman, as I have always been warm sup
porter of Horace Greeley, and as he was first
nominated by the Cincinnati Convention |
which was Republican convention, then in
dorsed by the Baltimore Democratic Conven- |
tion, I had much rather hear from the neso |
concerts to GreeleyssB', as new converts are
generally more enthusiastic than old stagers." |
A Grant member of the Fremont Band, was
made victim Of misplaced confidence, last |
Friday. The Greeley men were telling what
large delegations would be at Tifin, how the |
roads would be blocked up, and how long it |
would take them to get up town, &c. The |
Grant man thereupon bet the cigars they |
would not get there before noon. Of course |
he lost,-ths large delegations were missing,
their course up town was not impeded by any
crowd, and our Grant friend paid the cigars
willingly. He has since had the joke on them !
largely for the "Iarge fzzIG" There were
quite number there from distance, but the
farmers did turn out in delegations. Even
Thompson township had but meager tu1n-
out. Curiosity to see Schurz didn't even
draw
