Aug. Ith, 1878.
OF course the first item of news to write
about is the fire. On Tuesday while the
people We're waiting to see the circus par
ade it was suddenly discovered that some-
thing was on fire at the Depot. The Co.
sette furnishes the following account of
what happened afterwards and 1 cannot
do better than to copy from that paper:
ga crowd of men and boys rushed down
there, and the railway Woodsned build
ing, containing the water tank and sta
tionary steam engine, was discovered to
be pretty well envelOped in flames. 1t
could at once be seen that the structure
was doomed, as the conveniences for eX
tinguishing fires in Madison are not to be
found. Some effort was made to save the
engine, but the smoke so filled the room
that all work in that direction was una
vailing. The shed was about half full of
wood, all of which was burned. Trains
from the eastward were delayed for some
hours. A Palnesville fire engine was tel
egraphed for, which, on It's arrival, aided
very materially in cooling the bed of glow
ing Goals laying adjacent to the track, so
that trains were enabled to pass safely.
1t is conjectured, rightly we think, that
the fire originated from a spark of pas
sing locomotive. The loss to. the company
is roughly estimated at S., 900 or ST, 1000.
The engine belonged to Mr.. Loveridge,
and OF course was rendered useless, For
tunately the wind was in favorable di-
rection. or consequences more dire might
have occurred"
The circus by Prof Magner was we'll at
tended-more going than would if the
show came here again.
We have had a few drunks lately but
only one Or two have been of enough i'm
portance to bring before the officers and
consequently 1 am safe in saying that
things are pretty quiet.
On Thursday evening there was dance,
given by the ''Merry Four Dancing Clpb.''
They did not exactly dance the old year
cut and the new year in but they danced
July out and August in.
The Gd=etfe says that Mr.. John Will
liams received a telegram last week, stat
ing that his son Charles had died from
cholera at Muskeg0n, Michigan. He has
been engaged at that place as a master
mechanic in the employ of the railroad
company.
A barn owned by Charles Gilbert, situ-
ated on Lake street, caught fire yesterday
by sparks from the burning sheds, quar-
ter of a mile away. 1t was oserved be-
| fore it had gained much headway, and
speedily eXtinguished.

The Council.

At the Council meeting on Monday
evening, but little business of Importance
was transacted.
Resolutions were adapted authorizing
the Building Committee to employ Landon
Smith to superintend the mason work of
the new Engine House, and also empow-
ering them to sell all the personal proper
ty of the corporation, now on the new lot,
except the tagging.
The committee on ordinances was also
instructed to prepare and report an Ordi-
nance providing for the sale of the old en-
gine house and lot to B. Stuart, at the
price and on the terms recommended by
the Board of improvements.
An ordinance to authorize the Mayor to
issue bonds of the Village, under authori-
ty OF section 653 of the act of the General
Assembly of the State of Ohio, entitled an
act to provide for the organization and
government. of municipal corporations,
passed May Z, 1869, was read the first
time.
A petition of Mrs. A. NJ. Frisby and 9TH
ers, asking the Council to straighten the
sidewalk and grade the street from a point
near the intersection of Bank and State
streets, thence southerly to the north line
of Seth Marshall's lot, was laid on the ta-
BILE one week.
Claims aggregating $463.35 were ordered

Marine.

The passenger travel is now at its
height. The Northern Transportation
Company's steamers are overflowing in
every trip. Both East and West. These
boats have gained wide popularity from
Ogdensburg to Chicago, and pleasure
seekers from the interior as well as the
cities on the chain of lakes consider it
just the thing to make the Ground trip on
the n. T. Co.'S boats.
The Government survey at Bar Point
within a few days have discovered a
shoal about 100 feet in length and 200 feet
in width, interspersed with large boul-
ders, and with an average depth of water
on the shoal of about thirteen feet. There
are no sunken wrecks there. The OBJ
structions can be removed, though their
nature would undoubtedly entail large
expense. They should be promptly and
thoroughly buoyed, at least.

that the rock did not work out while the

By request we publish the following
circular concerning this institution, and
also the accompanying letter addressed to
II. c. Beardsiee, President of the Board

We are also desired to announce that
an examination for the purposes mention
ed in the circular will be held at the Acad-
emy Building, in this place. on Saturday,
August 30th, commencing at 9 O'Clock am.
From those then competing the two best
qualified will be recommended to the fac
ulty of the College for the free tuition,
Those interested will remember the time
and place of holding the examination.
The Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical
College will be open for the admission of
Students, September 18th, of the present
year. The building will be ready for oc-
cupation at that time, and a Faculty, con-
sisting of n President and six Professors
and Assistant Professors, will be upon the
ground.
The College will open with excellentlv
equipped Laboratories in Chemistry and
Physics, with well selected Cabinets in
Mineralogy, Geology and Zoology, and
with ample means for teaching, in its best
methods. such other branches as are to be
at present provided for.
Two courses of study will be estab-
lished at the opening of the College-an
Agricultural Course, and General or
Scientific Course. = The Agricultural
Course will extend through three years,
and it's successful completion will ne at
tested by q special diploma of the Insti-
tuition. Candidates for admission to this
course must be fourteen years of age, and
| must sustain examination in the ordinary
branches of common school education, viz ::

| named for entrance upon the Agricultural
| course, candidates for admission to the
| general course must sustain examination
| in elementary physics, chemistry, and
botany, in physical geography, in algebra
| to general theory of equations, and IN
| plane geometry. In other words, as the
agricultural course is adjusted to the
| needs of students coming from the COM
| mon schools, the general course is de-
| signed, in the main, to take up the work
| of education where it is left off by the
high schools of the State.
Besides the above named regular
COURSES, full liberty of selecting studies
| will be allowed TO students who shall have
been admitted to the general course, and
also to students who shall have completed
the first year of the agricultural course,
| with the single provision that the studies
selected shall be such as the student is
qualified, in the Judgment of the faculty,
| to pursue.
Provision will be made in the regular

Oh; to a true woman what bliss what enchant-

To the spell Of her heart, to her solace below,
To her truth so endearing, her kindness and
care
In the morning of joy, in the night of despair
To her souls chosen love she unchanged wilt
remain,
In health and in sickness, in pleasure and pam;
And when closed are the eyes in deaths mortal
eclipse.
Even then still is hers the last kiss to the lips
And over the grave she wilt mournfuly keep
Her lone vigiIs of sorrow, to pray and to weep;
Yes! to pray. that the of heart be forgiven
And that thou mayst yet meet her unsulled in
