LIMA, A1rH1 Co, 0. Aug. l9ih. p
D4Gr III. HUjEaa 1t has been our
good f3ftane since Our last communica-
jion, 10 visit the cities of Alliance, Can
ton Massinon, Wooster, 0rrville, Mans
helG, Oreatliae and 3 lcyT,ls, and now we
arc here IL Lima. At Alliance, business
was o. Is. So al Canton and Wooster at
3lassillon they are doing wonderful
manufacturing business. And have also
their Bllsf furnace IN fuIl force and are
turning off from - TO 20 tons Gross
plg iron Dei. dtem. At Orrville business
was dull, although the village is rapidly
improving.
at Mansfield all was astir preparations
to holding the great0hio State Fair there
on the 2nd, 3d. 4tll, 9Th, aLd 9Th days in
sept. 1872
The management deserve great credit
for their extraordinary exertions they are
doing everything in their power to make
accommodations for ali the thousands
VINO may come. Every house is open to
guests and none will be Obliged to sleep
out by lamp p0sts-a mistake.
Entries are already being asked and it
will undoubtedly be one OF Ohio's great
| est State fairs yet ON record
Remember the time, and it IS thought
| that excursion trains will be run on
most Rail Reads Mansfield is beauti-
fdl city on hill and hence cannot be
hidden" With people as good and gen
eroUs rs one will find in years travel.
| The Richland County o. Fair will be
held at the city of Bucyrus on the 18th,
i 18th, 18th, Goth and 21st, of Sept. ~ st
this place they have the most supurb
fair grounds OF any in the State, there be-
ing sloping piece OF ground upon which
the entire multitude OF people always pre-
sent at these county agricultural demon
strations There is to he iine trotting fol-
premiums Of from 90 to 100 dollars each
We are mistaken about Westons walk
ing at the State fair, it is at this fair at
which he is to walk and not at the other
so far as | have been informed we had
the two fairs mixed up in our mind bu'
can assure all that the Richland Co Fail
is the affair for which Ed F. Weston is
to walk for 5000 miles in 10 hours.
AT Crestline Business was dull as usu
al, although the regu ar amount of Raj
Road business is going on daily.
: Here in Lima (Which is by the way II
miles East OF Plymouth Ind, and 25t
miles West Of Pittsburgh Pa } everything
is in apple pie style that are rapidly inn
proving the place.
The Lima Machine Works are adding ;
iine brick to their buildii gs. An OH
frame sawmill burned down here few
5 months since, and in its stead they hav'
magnificent brick mill in running ordel
also tannery burned which was TO
I years past-and in its stead they have /

g The NJ. E. people are building them
D selves superb ''Brick Church they hav
worshipped for years in most rickety oil
; frame building, but after Sept 3lst, the
hope to serve God in house costing
$4,000. Otner noted Improvements ar
: 20 be seen but we have room here for non
other save that of the Improvements mad
