Items from Bowling Green.

Ed. JOURNAL A little as TO the progress
and ambition Of Bowling Green may Interest
some Of your readers, and will, therefore, sub
NIT the following instance
One day last week several Of our prominent
business men engaged in the occupation Of bill
posting, and, think, succeeded very well in
covering the mail wagon that runs between
Portage and Tontogany with Fair bills, sale
bills, horse bills, and various other posters.
The Railroad Election was held here ON Mon
day lsst, resulting in 243 for, and Is against
In my last forgot to mention that Greeley
and Brown Club was organized on Thursday
evening last, and about twenty Ave names were
attached to the constitution.
On Tuesday evening last the citizens Of
Bowling Green were entertained with speeches
by Frank Hurd, and Maj .Swigart. The Liberals
and d Democrats proposed to have a joint argu-
ment between the two speakers. Maj. Swigart
being informed Of the proposed arrangement
was perfectly willing to compete with the Demi-
Lib. candidate for Congress, but on looking for
the sore. heads, they were found TO be making
Preparations to have their meeting at Reid's
Hall. Upon questioning Mr.. Hurd as to speak
ing with Mr.. Swigart, at the Court House, he
said that being in the embarrassing situation.
Of candidate for Congress, he was unwilling to
argue with any other than the opposing candi.
date until after the Congressional election.
The music drew the crowd and as lIurd was
accompanied by music, of course drew more Of
a crowd than there was at the Court House.
| Nevertheless there was good attendance quite
equal To the number assembled last Thursday
evening to hear Sloane, but the crowd was noe
made up of Demi-Libs but were, with the ex-
ceptioD uftwo or three, all Grant men.
| Que Of the leading Democratic p IliIicians
says he will not vote fnr Hurd, because lie
would not have joint argument with Swigart.

THE SUNDAY ORDINANCE.

Ed. JOURNAL: Your correspondent, "Chi-
zen,"ia last weeks issue seemed disposed IN
find fault with the mayor for not enforcing the
liquor and Sunday ordin He was evident
" not well informed a. 10 the Situation"
Tis true, the Mayor. in his inaugural prom
ised to enforce an Observance of these, but that
was before he had had any experience in dis
charging the duties Of his office. After he had
played Mayor few months he confessed that
he could not close the dnggeres on Sunday
that the Germans, whea they came tn church
would have their beer, and that you might almost
as well attempt to take their lives as to deprive
them of their national beverage. He would
however, regulate the trahc on Sunday, and had
said to the saloon keep rs they might open their
back doors on that day. but they must keep very
still and quiet Tor, il he heard any complaints
against them he would enforce the ordinance.
Thereupoa, all Of them opeued their back
doors N let 10 their customers, and they behaved
so well that In few weeks they were permitted
to open their front doors also, and they now
sell beer and whisky as freeley and openly on
the Sabbath as on any other day. aud in much
larger quantities. The result Is that on every
Sunday, every doggerv is illed with a noisy,
turbulent, whisky guzzlinR, beer swiing crowd
and few Sabbaths since there were nine drum
ken men, at one time in one Of these dens. On
Sabbath evenings, they ara staggering
along all the principal streets aud not unfre-
quently, disrsspeetfu and bloody rows and
fights take place, as at Leafs q week ago last
Sunday.
Some have been so unchariiable as Ia iusiuu.
ate that the Doctor symphathizes with the Ii
quor sellers because they are his political broth
ers, and that he looks 10 them for success in his
future political aspirations. This Is doing him a
great injustice, for has he not said he could nJt
suppress the tra6c but only rsgadts il and has he
not egulated Il to the entire satisfaction of eV-
cry dOggery keeper aud inebrate 10 town, tn
men who voted for him. unanimously For
whom else, would be regulate II?
But Me DOetOr's "strOngest hold" is in en-
forcing the ordinance for the abatement OF nni-
sAnces as evidenced BY his efforts 10 Gbate the
hydraulic Canal. And while laboring in that
congenial sphere we would commend 10 his at
teuHOn the beautiful and OdOriferous hog yards
at the northern examinations Gf Walnut and Cher
~ streets. II is not to be presumed il will make
any difference with him, " no constructed those
yards, or whose hogs are inclosed therein, but
| we will see.
"CitiEen" saws "The Marshall would, doubt
less. carry out the laws IL so instructed by the
Mayor" We hope 80, but while VIC hope we al
so remember that every doggery keeper in town
voted for bis reelection.

The Wood County Agricultural, Fairs.

The Wood County Agricultural Fairs.

Fair, SO long held ut Tont g ny, aud its rival

Voluntarily ask why, and wherefore, are two
Agricultural Fairs held in this G. uniy7
Is the former place d, 6ciert in facilities for
such an assemblage2 Are the people there
hostile to il. or wanting in public spirit or hos
piaity2 Is it not geographically located to
advantage If these questions can be truthful
ly answered disparAaingly to TOntoRany, can
they be applied to Bowling Green with more
favorable results
We have no interest in the matter, but 1t does
appear to us that those who so earnestly exert
themselves to establish rival Fair at the latter
place. are actuated by purely selfish motives,
instead of desire for the public good.
II the present manager Of the Sntinsl Is not
actuate by an oVerweening desire to see every
thing Of public interest and local enterprise
csnlered in and mOuopolSed by that great vii
lage, to the utter neglect and depreciation of al!
surrounding towns and villages, then what can

vertse one at the expense Of the other2 Can
| it be that be is instructed thus by the probable
ostensible owner Of that sheet in consequence oi
the suit for libel now pending against him by a
prominent CficiAl Of the Wood Comfy Agricul-
tural SscietyH
Whatever the motives, and whatever The ulti-
mate design, 1t is manifesily not for the benefit

Of Hon. n l.. WOOD, on Stoney Ridge, pierced
the top Of new buggy and set thewoOd work
on FIRE but tie "a mily were on the alert and by
active mt asures prevented a serious disaster.
During the storm on Wednesday afternoon
the electric fluid struck the top Of corn stalk
then passed down several feet Of an adjoining
one and entered the earth, in the garden .! Mr.
VEBER, on Second street of this village, in beth
instances completely separating the fbers Of the
stalk, and producing the appearance Of q burcb
of threads or bris,les. One nf the peiehbors
