NEARBY DRowSDED.-Last Monday
a little xyear old son OF A. HUNS
ton, OF Tama City, cams near losing
his lite in the big sewer trimming
along the street on which is situated
the new Harmon House. HIS hat
had been thrown into the sewer by
some playfcllow, and, after going
home for another hat, he returned 10
look tor the one that was lost. He
was probably looking for it in the
sewer and fell in, not far from the
house Of Mr.. Rhodes, and floated
down in front Of Mrs. Hasty's. when
he was found by Rev. Mr.. Smelley
and recovered. He was nearly ex.
hausted when found, but he was
eventually brought to consciousness.

discourse amid wisdom that lives on
ever the same.
The lecture was most able and
happy in conception. 1t will secure
from an intelligent audience very
high appreciation. The Speaker
eyinces a profound mind, familiar
with literary and political questions
OF the world. He is at home with
English historical Statesmen. He
nttcrs. thoughts that have grown
from long studies and reflections up
on the liberal ideas OF past times.
MIR. Bassett is by constitution fore
most mind, in advance OF the many.
yet in most hearty sympathy with
them. He has no policy but princi-
pies, no motives but right. He has
drank long at the fountains OF tree
dom as they have welled up among
the nations of the earth.
Hon. g. W. Basset will find an
appreciative audience at any time in
Toledo and Tama County. The
masses have only to hear him, to con-
fide in him. It is to ue hoped that
he will give his lectures very gener.
ally. INDEX.

ANOTHER TOLEDO INyEsnoN.-Our
jolly fellow townsman Of thu Cab.
bagc and Goose. G. G.. Buttkcriet,
not content with one invention, of
which we made mention several
weeks ago. has sheen and went and
gone and done it" again. This time
he has invented practical means Of
escaping from a burning building.
The name OF the invention is /" Portable
Fire Escaps". It consists Of wire
ladder, 50 constructed that it can
readily DO folded and packed in a
trunk or travelling bag. When un.
folded and ready for use. it Is attach.
ed to the window casing and let down
on the outside Of the building, and
any one can descend readily, safely
and quickly. A few days ago, he
attached the Escape to an upper
window of the Court House, snd
gave it trial. Several young men
availed themselves Of the opportunity
to scale the heights, on this thread
like ladder. We saw it thoroughly
tried in tact, we tested 1t with our
own avoirdupois, SO as to satisfy us
gifts value as a means of escape from
burning buildings. Mr.. Moore took
a photograph OF the Escape, while it
was on trial, at the Court House.
The inventor Is confident that this
ladder can be economically used by
horticulturists in trimming trees and
fruit, and by boys in nut.
Ting, while it's economy as means
Of ascent to q burning chimney can be
understood. Altogether, the inven.
ton seems to be one every way wor-
