By private letter we learn that the pres
ent wet season has been very favorable for the
lumbermen, in the pine regions, near Saginaw
Many million feet Of logs had TO be left in the
woods, last year, for want of freshet to float
them down. The oaSs River, this year, was
nearly four feet higher than it has ever been
known to be before, sweeping away nearly all
the bridges, but aFording an excellent oppOr-
tunity for rafting. The river is now packed
with pine saW-logs from its mouth to TuscoIa,
distance of twenty miles.
Two worthy and respectable farmers Of
OttoWs County lately sold and delivered some
horses to a man in Perrysburg, and started on |
train for Toledo. Some horses had been
stolen recently in Perrysburg, and two detee-
tives in pursuit of the horse thieves got their
eyes on these farmers, and pursued them to
Toledo where they had them arrested. They
we're released in the evening on the appearance
Of friend who Vouched for them. They say
they will sell their horse critters at home
after this for half price, rather than risk them
selves among the ModOcs again.
young man in Lima wanted to get mar
ried and procured license to facilitate mat
tiers, but forgot to give his full name. When
the blissfnl moment arrived, an examination
Of the license discovered tha fact that he
would have to get the Legislature to change
his name or else he get new license. He
chose the latter alternative. MoraI:-Young

Katharine George, young girl, attempted
to cross the track of the L. s. & &M.S.R.R,
at Sandusky on Thursday evening Of last
week, when the train going west was near at
hand, and was struck by the engine, thrown
some twenty or thirty feet against tool box,
and almost instantly expired. Before the
CorOner's jury it was 10 evidence that the train
was running at higher rate of speed than al
lowed by law, but it was also shown that the
bell was rung, the danger signal given, and
that several had shouted to her not to attempt
to cross, and the verdict of the jury was in &C.
cordanee with the facts
The "phiz" of the soda fountain is heard in
the land. ScoVille was the first to "ehargs,"
and the unsOphisticated youth who took the
frat drink wanted to spoil his counienance for
putting gunpowder in it, When it exploded
the fellows hat went up like balloon. Thom-
as, Grund & Lang followed next, and charged
up 30 strong that for whole day they didn't
get pay for drink. When man imbibed,
the efervescence followed so quickly and
powerfully that the drinker was landed on the
pavement, and Of course he wouldn't 60 back.
The fountains are now in the best Of order,
and you can imbibs freely without fears of ex-
perieneing anything more than a delightful
sense of Utilization in your nasal protuber-
ance.

spending he collarsd the two and started for ;
ths callaboose, where he succeeded in lodging ,
