FROM INLAND.

Mr.. Clark, father of our practising
physician, has been in a very pain
full and critical situation for some
time. His disease is q lingering and
fatal one.
A man living near the Center
whipped his wife most outrageously
not long since, and she left and went
to q neighbours. This is the same
man who last fall beat his boy Of FIVE
or six worse than he would an OK,
and then sent him barehead and bare
foot, and scantily clothed, into the
field in the rain to herd cattle, when
the weather was cold enough to chill
one through in half an hour, and there
the poor little fellow had to stay al
day long in the driving rain for an
innocent, childish act for which the
father was more to blame than the
boy. He had taken the child with
him to show him how to burn straw
stacks a day or two previous, and
when his parents were absent, he
took one Of the younger children and
went out to burn straw stacks on his
own account. They went into shed
with stable, granary &C., connected
all covered with straw, and set the
straw on FIRE, and the smaller child
came near being burned with the rest.
Considerable damage was done.
We hear later that the brute fol.
lowed his wife, armed with knife
and revolver, and ordered her home,
threatening the man where she had
gone, if he interfercd. She went.

A PETITION has been put in circuia-
ton to have = guardian at once ap-
pointed for the Post man. The indig
mites practioed upon him are too
shameful to be longer permitted In Z

that nest OF easter eggs-his last issue
shows the fruit Of . most outrageous
imposition. A couple Of wicked young
men come to him with an extremely
thin "sell" about the Burglars wife

does he do but, without even asking,
"why ?" SO as to give them . chance

when although speech may be silver,

FROM WEST BRANCH.

The weather for the past few
days has been very warm, and, as il
has not rained more than half the
time, we are quite encouraged.
We heor report to-day that a
member of the "Bender" family was
arrested few miles north of this
place. Cannot say yet whether there
is any truth in the report or not.
Considerable corn that was planted
while it was SO cold has to be re-
planted. James Cook has, we under
stand, got to plant forty acres over,
Farmers rarely make much by push
ing the season.
Another change in our mill ar
rangement. Heacock, Burden & Co.
have discharged their miller, Mr.. N.
Arnold, and are going to run the mill
themselves. They deserve to sue

THE MARROW GAUGE.
Railroad Meeting Saturday Night
Large Attendance and Enthus.

1t was briefly noticed last week that
the surveying corps Of the Peoples
Narrow Gauge Railway was approach
ing this place, and had been proceeded
by the Chief Engineer. Col. Estes.
who was looking to see II the reports
regarding the total Indifference Of Tip
ton to the project were correct. This
being the very first time direct call
upon our people for any kind Of action
in the premises has been made, Col.
f. very properly thought that We had
been belied when in response to q
briefly circulated call by Mayor Yates.
the Court House was well filled on
Saturday evening with the most sub
stantial citizens Of the town and sur
rounding country, anxious to learn
more concerning . railway project
based upon avowed opposition to rail-
way monopoly.
The meeting was called to order by
Mayor Yates, upon whose nomination
p. NJ. Vest was elected chairman.
WIN. NJ. Knott was chosen Secretary.
Col. Estes. Of Davenport, Chief En-.
gineer Of the road. was then intro
duced to the audience, aud talked for
nearly an hour-not at all 10 the way

after the much more satisfactory style
OF the thorough, practical man Of bust

The Colonel said he did not come to
make = railroad speech. Tiptonitss
had been favored with them, to his
certain knowledge, ever since 1852.
He merely came here on his swn mo-
ton to see what the feeling really was
toward the project upon which he WAS
engaged. He said he would try to
state something concerning the enter
prise and beginning with its organi-
cation At Spring Greek. In Tama

development, different meetings, DC.

The township Of Massillon was or
ganized about sixteen years ago, and
up to the year 1861 was controlled
entirely BY the Democratic party.
Then the tables turned, the Republi-
can candidates were elected and the
Democrats have been in the minority
ever since. As long as the Republi-
cans were obliged to fight for every
inch of ground they gained; the cleo
tions were lively and interesting.
But when it became evident that
they could have thier own way if
they chose, the excitement at the
polls died away, and election day
passes off quietly.
In religious matters our township
has been highly favored, al things
being taken into consideration. The
Methodists have held their meetings
at Center schoo!-house, at intervals
of two or three weeks for the last fif-
teen years. The people owe much to
the untiring efforts of Mr.. Harvey
Dinkle, for the privileges they have
enjoyed during this period Of time.
Sabbath schools have been held at
Center, the Russell school-house and
at this place. Some time ago an ef-
fort was made to raise money for the
purpose of erecting house Of wor-
ship, but nothing definite was accom-
plished.
Massillon village and part Of the
town of Louden are the chief collec-
tions of houses and people in the
township.
BY way Of local news l would say
that we now have six trains per day /;
that the river is coming out Of its
banks; that the young ladies Of Mas
sillon have rare chance to learn in
strumental music; that the Sabbath
school was organized last Sunday and
that there is no station agent 1t To-
