rection, and we hope the council will take
immediate steps to secure this object.
There are no good reasons why this should
not be done. Tippling-shops, at least, are
unnecessary; not only unnecessary, but are
an absolute nuisance in any locality-and
moreso at night than in the broad glare of
sunlight. We hope our council will take
this question into consideration and by re-
quiring these establishments to close up
business and their places at 8 O'Clock, We
are confident they will but carry out the
wishes of very large majority of the cit
izens of the town. There certainly is time
enough from 6 O'Clock in the morning un-
til O'Clock in the evening for everybody
who drinks liquor at these establishments,
to get all the intoxication decent regard
for sObriety admits Of; anything further is
simply unwise and injudicious.
Rev. A. c. Hirst, by request, has con-
sented to repeat On Sunday evening next,
his excellent lecture on CHARACTER, which
he delivered a few weeks since at the NJ.
E. Church, to young men. The lecture
drew forth the admiration of all who were
fortunate emo ugh to hear it, and we hope
that young and old will be present on that
occasion. No man, in these days of en-
ligh tened progress, should sit down and
close his eyes and ears to everything that
is transpiring around him. Every young
man who aspires to anything, OF to occupy
an honorable, elevated position in society,
must open his eyes and see and hear what
is going on in the way of progress, and
avail himself Of the opportunities of this
progressive age, or he will find himself left
away back in the fog of old-fogyism. Come
ont, Young folks and old folks, and hear.
4 "A Union Agricultural Society has

n 1.-The Washington Board of Education
has re-employed Mr.. Morehouse Superin-
tendent of our schools for the coming
year, with the same corps of assistants as
last year. except in the 7th Department,
which will be taught by Miss Phoebe
SHARP, in place of Miss Wilcox. The
Board has not yet decided as to the en-
ployment of music teacher. Mr.. James
Johnson has been employed to teach the
cOlored school
, Patsey Burke has moved his marble
works to new quarters, in the brick build
ing just finished, adjoining Ely & Stimson
Bros Elevator. Patsey is up to the times
in his business, and can furnish as good
work in his line as any establishment in
the country, and at as low rates as the
lowest. Patronize home establishments,
and so help build up your own town.
= Messrs. Talcot & Maris, Of Colum-
bus, are getting up Railroad Gazetteer for
1874, with city and business directories of
the cities and towns along the lines of the
Baltimore & Ohio, Columbus & Hooking
Valley, Cincinnati & Muskingum Valley.
and Marietta & Cincinnati Railroads. The
agent was in town yesterday, making up
the Washington directory and soliciting ad-
vertisements and subscriptions.
We understand the council of oul
town have caused list of those who are
in the habit of indulging in Intoxicating
drinks to excess-that is to drunkeness--tc
be made out and posted up in each saloon
and when a fellow whose name is on thi
list applies for drink he is refused. 1t is
good idea, and we hope the plan will bt
carried out completely.

municatfon, written to the Dayton journal

Dayton & S. E. Railroad Company, giving

prise, and calling a meeting of the citizen
of Dayton at the Exchange rooms mex
Saturday evening, to decide what her capi
talists will do.
| On MoDdav ovaninp in front of n,
Goldsberry's drugstore, a young man b
the name of Sprinkle, a painter, fell to tn
pavement in a spasm, or from some othe
cause. The usual crowd which is alway
close at hand on such occasions, closed i
around the PROSTATE man, shutting o
what he most needed-air. Will peopl
never learn to stand back at such times?
The Grand Jury, at the present teri
of Court, reported sixteen bills of indie

- The Fair pamphlets of the Jamestow
Sabina and Washington Fairs contain ad
vertisements of some of our enterprisin

themselves and their business. Persistel
, advertising pays!
