MARRIAGE AND SUDDEN DEkTiI.-
John Earnest Pfrenger, from Stowe
township, Summit Co, was married
on Sunday last, to the widow Long, OF
this place. They were married at
Akron, by a Lutheran minister, and
returned home to the brides residence
the same night. Shortly after retiring
for the night the bride observing him
draw long sigh, she spoke to him.
He did not answer. She shook him,
but he was motionless. Drs. Ferguson,
Hough and Ward were summoned to
the place and pronounced him dead.
A post mortem examinations proved
that death resulted from disease of
the heart. 1t appears from what we
can learn of At Pfrenger, that he was
about fifty-six years of age an honest
and iRdustFions man; had lived i'll
Cleveland aud traded his city proper
| ty for farm OF one handred acres, in
| Stowe, which he eWned at the time of
his death. The Minister who married
them on Sunday preached his. funeral
sermon in the meeting house i'll this
/ place on Tuesday morning.
John Smith, who lives in the south-
east part of the township, was brought
before Squire Paulus and fined $500
and cost for hauling hay to his barn.
ON Sunday. A good many of our
best men took advantage of the fine
weather on Sunday TO secure their
Kay. 1t is well known that the wealth
er was very bad for two. weeks pre-
Vious and we have good supply of
damaged clover hay. So I think it
was exeusable in our farmers to try
and secure their crop on the first
clear day they got, Sabbath or other
wise. -
A Mr.. Harley came OH visit from
Stark Co., complained of, and en-
forced the law against Smith. Had
he treated all the guilty ones alike we
would be apt to laugh at the culprits
and consider the complainant pious
fanatic; but when we find that it was
done to obtain petty revenge, we
feel somewhat different. Harley's
sister lives with a family between
Smiths and the Center. She is O.
muscular and powerful woman of de-
ranged mind. She sometimes walks
up and down the street, making hid
eous noises. 1t appears that on some
occasions she has followed and scared
Smiths children when going to Sun
day school. Smith complained and
the above was the result. ROVER.

INCENDIARY FIRE.--Shortly after
twelve O'Clock last Thursday morning
our citizens were aroused from their
slnmbers by an alarm of fire. and in a
few minutes there was a rush of peo-
pie in the direction of the burning
building, which proved to be work
shop on the premises of Mr.. George
L. Hotehkiss, just west of the corpo
ration limits. There were three or
fonr sets of carpenters and ioiners'
tools, quantity of lumber. paints
and oils and some blacksmith tools
and other articles stored in the build
ing. When the fire was first diScov-
cred il had gained such headway as
to render any effort to save the build
ing'or any part of its contents entire
ly hopeless, aud they were all con-
snmed. The loss is estimated at six
hundred and fifty dollars. Upon a
portion of the tools there was an in
surance amounting to about two hum
dred and fifty dollars. There was a
quantity Of powder stored tn the
building, and as there were no signs
of an explosion. and from other cir
cumstances, it is rendered quite GER
tain that the fire was the work of an
incendiary.

continued, with but slight intermis-
sion, till about nine o'clock Tuesday
morning, and in the mean time large
quantity of water feil-we are told
to the depth of seven and a-half
inches on a level. In the ravine south
of the viIliage the large sewer recent
" put in was insufficient to carry off
the water. and in consequence, the
valley was completely inundated and
the gardens and cellars flooded with
water, doing considerable damage.
The upper level of the Canal bed was
as full of water as when the old ditch
was used for purposes of navigation.
AS much water has not been known
to fall in the same length of time by
the Z" oldest inhabitant."
