The Findlay Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Hancock County, Ohio) 1870-1881, 1874-08-07

An interesting ulsseIJduOn on Jne
Beecher-TiIton scandal, taken from the
Chicago Tribune, will be found on the
first page of this paper.
From the number of fine young colts
one sees every day, it is to be inferred
that the people of Hancock County are
making an effort to raise good horses.
1t is not likely that the grasshoppers
will reach here before next year, so that
people need not get alarmed about their
garden sass
! Miss LAURA STEVENSON has been re-
tanned as one of the teachers in the Tif-
fin schools for the coming year. Miss
STEvENsON's last years work made her
| quite popular as teacher in that place.
There were forty-nine umpires in the
game of base ball Tuesday afternoon
or at least there were that many fellows
who seemed to think they were acting
in that capacity.
There is considerable complaint made
about the careless manner in which the
lamplighter does his work. A good
spanking might have a salutary effect ON
the boy of the torch.
| Last Monday evening the stable
Mr.. DAVID KIMNIEL, OH West Hardin
Street, was found to be on fire. The
flames were extinguished before any
damage was done.
| Some wretch stole SAM. BROWNS
| shirt one day last week. Itwas mighty
mean theft, as it was the only one he
owned and he had laid in bed nearly all
day while it was being washed.
| WEsTLAKE & KINGSNoRTH, the hat
renovators, claim that Findlay is the
'livest' town of the size they have been
in since they have struck the States.
These gentlemen remain here until Sat
urday.
| CHARLIE LANPHEAR made a beautiful
Photographic view of Main Street, while
the procession of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry was passing to the Fair Grounds
last week. 1t is the finest picture of the
kind we have seen.
How very considerate in Sheriff HEN
RY to take JOE LYTLE away from an
officer Tuesday evening, after he had
been arrested for drunkenness, and con-
vey him to his home. A good, kind
soul, to be sure.
The picnic of the Pioneer and Histor-
ical Association will be held Saturday,
September 5th. Everybody who wants
to have a good time, and hear of the
scenes and incidents of eye olden time"
should fill their baskets full of eatables
and attend.
We occasionally hear it remarked that
the driver of the sprinkler neglects to
| sprinkle the street in front of business
houses, at times. He should be more
careful in making his rounds to give
every part of the street its full share of
water
Parties who have been making obser-
vations say that the new ordinance Civ
ing the Council the right TO select jurors
has caused falling off in the beer trade.
The salOOnists are evidently thinking
that they do not stand SC good a chance
to get away if they are caught up, and
sell more carefully.
If the Beecher-Tilton scandal contin-
ues much longer the publishers of dai-
lies will have to run newspaper train
for the benefit of the people of this place,
as the regular trains don't bring the pa
pers soon enough to suit.
We are proud to notice that on every
street in Findlay there is more or less
improvement going on. No one can
have definite idea of the progress of
the town during the past season until
they make IL trip around its entire limits.
The plan of the proposed changes i'll
the JOY House building can be seen at
the Hancock Savings Bank IL the I'M
provements are made in accordance with
this design, Findlay will have one of the
finest hotels and business blocks in the
State.
Let those person who are so concerned
about the approach of the grasshopper,
and who think they will not sow any
wheat this fall for fear that it will be
devoured next year, bear in mind the
saying of Sam Slick that ''wllen grass
hOppers are so plenty as to make the
pastures foam, gobblers grow fat.
The Kenton Democrat of last week
publishes a list of fifteen houses that
have been built and improved in that
village this season, and makes great
blow over it. Why, if the editors of
that sheet will come to Findlay we will
show them one hundred ReIC buildings,
and additions that hGre gone mp ,CitLin
the last three months, besides vast
amount of new pavement, new bridges,
graded streets, and other improvements
unheard of at Kenton.
