THE mechanics masquerade at the
Stockwell House on Wednesday evening
was well attended and proved a pleasant
affair for all participating. A large pro-
portion of the costumes were good and
those that were s1home-made" seemed
quite as attractive as the "boughten"
or rather an early-hour.
AFTER the holidays, advertising is more
Iinportant than ever. The merchant wants
to get rid of stock held over and may de
sire to do So AT lower rates than ever be-
fore. The newspaper is the proper medi-
um for telling this 70 the people. Adrer-
tising Is power which, judiciousiy ex-
ercised, will make dull times lively and
there is mo- tine more opportune to use it
freely than now, justsatter tho holiday $.
COMPLAINTS of the annoyances Of tramps
and vsgrants are becoming quite prevail
ent. Would it not be fwell for the city
fathers to take under consideration the
suggestion made some time since by the
JoURNAL-that a worK-house be establish
ed. Such sa5instatution would afford q
suitable refuge for this class, and at the
same time would provide 8 means of pun
ishment for those petty, offenders that now
20 scott-free because OF its non-existence.
For some time there have been a series
of items being published In regard to
quilts and the number Of patches con-
tanned In them. Ashtabula and Lake
counties have been the principal contes-
tauts for the honor Of producing the cham
pion "plecests,' - and according to the
Telegraph our county is still ahead-Mrs.
Chas, Harrison Of LeRoy, having two
quilts. one of which contains 3760 and the
other 1881 separate pieces.
A LARGE audience was in attendance at
the lecture OF the Rev. Mr.. Behrends, on
Tuesday evening. The speaker has good
voics, an excellent delivery, and has evil
IDENTIFY given much thought and study to
his subject. Bnt after all. it Is Of such a
peculiar nature that one can really do lit
tie more than deal in speculation in regard
to it, and even 80 able a speaker as MIR.
Behrend IS unable to take it out OF the
realms of conjecture. The net proceeds
were about 5000.
FROM pripsing dose at, this. office, we
learn that a new firm has been formed in
town-Messrs. Garfield, Fe. ris s. Warner
having entered into partnership for the
purpose of carrying on the business of
building railroad and county bridges and
all kinds of tressle work. AS the mem.
bers of the firm are all energetic, capable
business men and possess practical
knowledge of the business, we are conf
dent that they will meet with success and
be able to faithfully fulfill all contracts
they may take.
THE sixth lecture of the course will be
given on Friday evening, Feb. 18th, by
Prof. Thos. w. Harvey, Commissioner of
the Public Schools of Ohio. Subject
4" storms" Prof. Harvey may rest assur-
ed that he will feceivs a hearty welcome
from the many friends in Painesville. He
has good place in the hearts of the peo-
pie, anu is too we'll known to need any
words of commendation from US. Those
of his pupils who remember his exceed
ingly pleasant and profitable lessons in
Physical Geography will not fail to hear
the lecture on Storms"
xzTHE EeiequpA, In lis last issue,makes
most sensible suggestion that boys
should be excluded from the Court House
during the progress OF certain classes OF
trials. So long as human nature
and human lava are as they
are the bringing into publicity those cases
that possess a fascination by reason of
thair revelations OF priyatefand domestic
infdelitIes and hort.comings, cannot be
avoided. Nor can the adults whose de-
PRAYED tastes gloat over this kind Of ex-
Uitement be. excluded and prevented from
gratifying their love of what approximates
The vicious. But there certainly is no
reason why boys should be permitted to
listen to that Which can only serve to fos-
ter the more bestial portions Of their ma
lures ana learn to delight in that,the very
existence OF which should be source OF
sorrow to every right minded person.
