Scribbleton learned that the lad,J's name was
Howard, Jennie Howard, and that she was
an orphan, living with an uncle and aunt not
many blocks from his boarding house. He
told her Of his literary pursuits, and was de-
lighted to find that she had read and admired
his stories. Her youth, beauty and vivacity
of manner, united with high degree OF in

The Early VirglnlnNA.

The history of the Commonwealth OF Vir-
ginia, says tie Richmond Wig, beg gins with
an auction salc-not, however, in store, but
beneath the green trees of jamestown, where,
probably the most anxious and interested
crowd of auction habitues ever known in the
history of the world were gathered. In a
letter, still to be seen, dated London, August
II, 1921, and directed to worthy colOnist of
that settlement, the writer begins by saying:
1--WE send you shipment, one widow and
eleven maids, for wives of the people OF Vir-
ginia. There has been especial care in the
choice of them, for there hath not one OF
them been received but upon good recon-
mendatlons. In case they cannot be pres
emily married we desire that they may be put
with several householders that have wives
until they can be provided with husbands
But the writer of this epistle had little rea-
son to fear that any of the "maidens fair "
would be loft over. The archives contain
evidence to prove that these first cargoes of
ladies were put up at auction and sold for one
hundred and twenty-five pounds of tobacco
each, and it was ordered that this debt should
have precedence of all others. The solitary
Zone widow" went along with the others,
for they could not he particular in those days.
The good minister of the colony no doubt had
busy time that day. He did not mention
any fees. nor did the bridegrooms think of
rendering any. All was joy and gladness;
no storms ahead, no inqusitive clerk to stand
and say, "Here's the license, fork over that
g." Nothing of the sort. From some of
these couples the first families of Virginia are
descended.

A WEsTPoRT correspondent of the Norwalk
Gazette describes hend at cribbage which
one in the usual course of playing would get
about once in thousand years. He says !:
"a few nights since remarkable game of
cribbage was played by Mr.. II. r. Treadwell
and A. s. Hurlbutt, at the house of the latter.
1t was six card cribbage. A regular deal was
made by Treadwell, who discarded six and
four spot, and held three fives and the Jack
of spades for his hand. Hurlbutt discarded
a six and four spot, retaining for his hand
two fours and two SKIES. The trump turned
was the five of spades, which gave Tread
well twenty nine in his hand, the largest num-
Der that can be held. Hurlbutt tshowedtwenty-
four in his hand, and in the crib was found
twenty-four more for Treadwell. In the play
ten holes were pegged, making the result Of
the play of one hand an aggregate of eighty
seven pegs. without doubt the most remarka-
bic make of this most beautiful Of games
on record"

The Eucalyptus ~ q Disease Destroyer
Among imported trees for which health
giving properties are claimed the public is
somewhat familiar with the Eucalyptus or
blue gum of Australia. Although its merits
have perhaps been exaggerated, there can be
no doubt that where it will thrive it fulhlls
the admirable Office of absorbing the exces-
sive moisture of marshy localities. 1t is said
to be capable of absorbing ten times its weight
of water, and Of emitting q powerful febri-
fuge in the shape of camphorous efhuvia
The Medical Times, an English periodical,
asserts this'and more of the same value of the
famous transplant; and asserts that marshy
spots arc speedily reduced to solidlty by its
absorptive action. The English experiments
with this tree at the Cape of Good Hope, the
same authority asserts, completely changed
the climatic conditions of the unhealthy parts
of the colony, and in the vicinity of Algiers a
similar revolution was effected when the
trees had been set out only four months and
had attained only height of ten feet.
The tree can be grown in greenhouses in
much the same way that the orange and lemon
tree are propagated The seed is worth from
So to So so an ounce 1t is enclosed in a
shell looking a little like an acorn. When
ripe the end splits into quarters, making nearly
the star figure, and the seed, enclosed in
small yellow husk, drops out. If these ac0rns
are gathered at the right time the ends will
split after drying, and all the seed can be
saved The seed kernel is not so large as
the mustard, and it takes many thousands to
make an ounce.

Gibsonburg Letter.

GIBsoNBURe, Sept. 2S, IA.
Mr.. EDITOR: In my last letter, owing per-
haps to my scribbling, the names of several of
our business men were wrongly given. A. s.
Herr is the name of our hardware man, and
he has since entirely reconstructed his store,
which is credit to the town.
Amos Criblez is our druggist, and very
good one is he.
The new church, Of Evangelical denomina-
ton, was dedicated last Sunday, Saturday
evening services conducted by Rev. Stewart,
of Tifin, in the English language; Sunday
forenoon in the English, and afternoon in the
German language, by Rev. Mr. Yost, of
Cleveland, and evening services by Rev. Mr..
Strauch, of Lindsay. The Presiding Elder,
Rev. Mr. Walkey, of Fremont, was present,
and assisted in the services of dedication.
1t was announced by the secretary of the
building committee that there still was de-
fciency of $500, to fully pay the cest of build
ing. A collection was taken up, and in an
incredibly short tine the sum of $3.50 was
contributed. Many members who had al
ready subscribed very literally did so again,
to make up the amount wanting. We con-
gratuIate the denomination in having such
full house of worship. The building is capa-
cious, is furnished with comfortable seats and
carpeted, while from its steeple, S5 feet high,
bell weighing over half ton, proclaims the
hours Of worship to surrounding neighbor-
hood. The total cost of construction is ST.
500.

The Gratest Success in the Annals
Of the Society-Nearly 800
Entries at the Close Of
the First Day.

Following up our past comments on the
prosperity of the Sandusky County Agricul
tural Society, we now cone to the opening
day Of the season for 1874. Wednesday the
weather proved most propitious and from an
early hour the ground was beseiged with ex-
hibitors securing space. By noon the scene
was one Of unusual activity, and it was truly
marvellous to observe the attractive appear
ance the scene assumed hour by hour. In the
Roral hall the fine arts and fancy articles were
a success beyond measure, while the Mechan-
les hall and farmers produce hall alike con-
tanned variety and quantity of articles at
once honor and credit to our county and its
enterprising residents.
The several neat canvas tents dotting the
grounds, the display Of bunting, and the very
pleasing attraction of fine windmill, together
with a capital California show, rendered the
scene exceptionally charming. The number
of horses entered for the races is perfectly as
tonishing, and still continue to team in-af-
fording indications, by their celebrity of
names Of some Of the finest running ever
witnessed in the county.
Up to Wednesday evening nearly 800 en-
tries had been made almost every class con
tanning close competition and every one from
the President down were industrious as bees
getting things in shape. We reserve a full
report for next week but assure our readers
the present meeting will prove the leviathan
event in the annals of the society and every
should make an effort to favor it with their
praeapca

Last week in Clyde rather amusing in
cident took place. a man was In town with
o performing bear-one Of those burly growl-
ing fellows, that look dangerous. Several
horses were frightened by the animal, when
the Marshal arrested the keeper and took him
before the Mayor, the bear gong along ostens-
IDLY to see fair play. The Mayors Office and
the Council room are together, and the Coun-
Gil happened to be in session. The Marshal
stated his complaint, and the keeper of the
bear was asked what he had TO say. Before
answering, the fellow stepped on one Of the
bears feet and ordered him to stand on his
hind legs. The animal obeyed at once e,groWl-
ing vigorously, and opening his meat destroy
er to its fullest capacity. His demonstrations
were so vicious that the Council retired in
haste, some going out by the windows Stef-
fey, Of the Independent, and Sweetland, of the
ReUielg stood near the door, and when the
bear opened his man-trap they ran a race TO
see who should get out the soonest. At the
door their legs became entangled and they
rolled to the bottom of the stairs together,
each one ahead half the time. When they
landed they simultaneously exclaimed, "What
in thunder are you running that way for ? E"
In the meantime the Mayor was in a corner
and could not escape; but he boldly spoke to
the keeper in the following legal language
''Take your id bear and 60 to HI with
it, The fellow Immediately retired, and
taking the Mayor at his word went straight
TO Fremont. He was arrested there but got
of by q similar move to the one above reoited.
-Ii6fs Tribune.
There is only one element of truth larcking
in the above, and that is rather exceptional
for our neighbor. It is where the Tribune
says the fellow took the Mayor at his word
and went to Fremont where he got off by a
similar move The fact that the fellow got
of from here, is proof positive that he didn't
go where the Mayor told him to- He started
for Tifin, but strayed out of his way. Had
he got there he would have been lost forever.
