The Randolph Agricultural Society
have decided to hold their Township
Fair on Saturday tho fourth of Octo-
Der. The fair will be on the Reding
farm, half mile west of the Center.
The farmers have suffered much
from the gpasshoppers this season.
They destroyed nearly, if not One-half
of the oat crop; have destroyed large
fields of clover seed, and done much
damage to the. corn crop. Grass in
the timothy meadows seems to be
nearly all dead, while felds newly
seeded last spEing will have to be
plowed and restocked. The fruit crop
is light, and on the whole farmers are
looking rather blue. The per cent. of
dividends will be small. II five thou
sand dollars could be made by simply
answering yes, think a good many
would respond if the roll was called |;
but ! wouldn't recommend stealing,
even In q Christian community: It
won't pay. There are better things
in store for the farmers, if they will
only learn to do their own business
and not trust so'much to politicians.
There have been more than the ave-
rage amount of improvements in the
township this season. There has been
some ten or twelve new buildings put
up as well as several that have been
repaired, SO that in travelling IN diff
ferent parts of the township the .coun-
cry presents. Al very prosperous ap-
pearance, judging from improve

Portage County Bible Society.

The annual meeting of this society
took place on Thursday, August 2Sth,
according to notice, in this village at
the Methodist Episcopal Church, at
1015 O'Clock A. NJ, Rev. J. G. Hall,
President of the Society, in the chair.
Opened with prayer by Rev. Mr..
Seeley of the Methodist Episcopal
Church of Kent. The minutes of the
last meeting, and the reports of the
Secretary. Treasurer and Depository
were read and approved.
The following officers were chosen
for the ensuing year:
Rev. Geo. Darsie, President.
DR.. Powers, Vice President.
/ G. A. Reed, Secretary.
Joseph Vance, Treasury and De-
pository.
Andrew jackson, Auditor.
The next annual meeting was ap-
pointed to be held at Kent.
An important suggestion was made
by Mr.. Vance, that all pastors of
churches in the county should adver-
tise from their pulpit the fact of there
being a Depository of Bibles in this
village, where all descriptions of BIZ
bles and Testaments can be obtained
at very low rates.
AT the public meeting, at o'clock
P. NJ, after the reading of the Scrip
lures and prayer by Rev. Mr.. Cum
mings, the annual address was deliV-
cred by Rev. b. A. Hinsdale, Presi-
dent of Hiram College, opening with
a sketch of the rise and progress Of
Bible Societies, and progressing to a
general discussion of the grand sane
ton of such societies. The Histori-
cal Sketch was highly engaging, and
forcibly illustrated the power and
blessing of the individual enthusiasm
of two men in England, who were
chiefly instrumental in the origin of
the British and Foreign Bible Society.
But the main force and beauty of the
address came out in the discussion of
NiAO 1AOoOl II OOhnhCb vi OCCRllCiStu
with the claims of Revelation, which
was handled by the speaker in most
skillful and mastery manner. The
morality of the Scriptures, as vital
lied to the world by the life and
cross of Christ, was shown to be inf
nitely superior to the morality of all
other systems of religion that ever
appeared among men. Christ as a
Redeense1, and not merely as teacher
of morals, is what gives eminent
warrant to all such associations as this
for the circulation of the Bible.
The above is but very meagre out
line of an address that was very fe-
licitously conceived throughout, and
delivered in a high, manly, unaf-
fected and impressive manner. 1t
would be well if the entire produc-
ton were printed and widely circu-
lated.
At the close of the address,. which
occupied about an hour, the Doxolo-
gy was sung, the Benediction pro-
by Mr.. Hinsdale, and the
Society adjourned. j. G. III.

binding their eyes and literally
weighing them down. The eldest
succeeded in reaching the road when
she obtained little bush and fought

she was "black with grasshoppers."

northern Ohio, he selected beautiful
location on the banks of the Cuya'
hoga River as his future home. He

dozen or more years had elapsed and
other settlers had established them.
selves in the vicinity, township was
organized and named Mantua. That
young man was the late Judge AMI
.AtWater,. who, by his honesty and the
strict integrity of his principles, sub
sequently became the choice of his
neighbors in filling several important
places of trust and responsibility
among his fellow-citizens.
He thus founded a family name
which stands to-day connected with
the early history of the townships,
and he has furnished noble exam
pie, so often seen in those early pio-
neer times of patien! endurance of
toll and privation, that the future
generation might be secure in the
possession ofsplenty and peace.
Alta ripe age he passed away, and
to his son, Darwin Atwater, was left
the duty of preserving and perpetual
ing the family name and of transmit
ting it untarnished to another gene
ration. Well and nobly did he per-
form his duty; and three sons, all
men of talent and great moral worth,
atteststhe fidelity with which lie full
filed his life mission. Afew months

ers, and the ever restles spirit of
change has come upon that family, its
members are scattered, and the name
of Atwater has ceased to exist in
Mantua save only on the marble,
which transmitesa brief memorial to
posterity. Those three sons, all preach
ers of the gospel. have gone to their
duties in other States, two of them to
Massachusetts, and the youngest, his
grandfather's namesake,1 to Indiana,
and, on last. Wednesday, the personal
effects Of their father were scattered
at public sale, which closes the re-
cord and drops the name from among
us of one more of our pioneer set
tiers.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
THE NEW GLAsswoRRs DESTROYED
Loss from SIO. 900 to $4,000.

At about half-past twelve O'Clock on
Monday morning, the new Crystal
Glass Works of Mr.. Charles Ballin-
ger, near the A. & G. W. Ry. station,
were discovered to be on fire. When
first discovered the fire was in guam
tity of straw between the packing
room and the main factory building,
and was small in extent but it spread
so rapidly that in few minutes the
roof was in sheet of fiame. The
alarm was given and the Fire Compa-
nies and hundreds of people had
gathered at the scene, but the destruc-
tive element had gained such head
way as to render all efforts to save
any part of the building utterly fruit
less, and in about half an hour from
the time the fire was discovered the
building was in ruins. The works
had been in operation some five or
six weeks, and most of the mannfae-
tured articles were destroyed. The
books and papers of Mr.. Ballinger
were saved, and the fine furnace and
stack are still standing, and it is
thought are not materially injured.
The loss is estimated at from $4,000
to $4,000, entirely uninsured. We
are pleased to learn that Mr.. B. will
at once commence the work of recon-
strncting the buildings, and we hope
he will have the active sympathy and
aid of our citizens in doing so.
