Col. J. y BoPE, WM. ANDERSON and
LEWIS GLEsSNER, ESqs., We're at Lima
last Monday making some investigations
in reference TO the gas works of ;hat

JONES, of the FOstoria Rerjclc, finds
a good deal of fault with the Council Of
Findlay. The Squire has been very
much out or sOTus ever since he was de-
feated for Mayor of Fostoria. lie has
been as ''eranky" as an old woman and
peevish as a teething child

Mr.. KIRKBRIDE. the sketcher of HAIR
DEsrY's map corps, is at work on a sketch
of old Fort Findlay. He has already
completed a picture of the first school
house erected in town. Mr.. kRKBRIDE
is an artist of more than ordinary ability,
and his pictures are very interesting.
Mr.. &. F. PENDLEToN and Mrs. q. w.
GALLOWAY have returned from their.
western trip. Mr.. and Mrs. CARXAHAN
still remain. Mr. E. y. HUBER is quite
sick at WaukeslIa, Wis. He had been
feeling better previous to his trip from
st Louis, Mich. We hope he will soon
recover again.
We have heard and still hear great
many complaints about the paddle
wheels" being allowed on the fair ground
during the races. 1t will be we'll in the
future for the managers to exclude all
gambling devices from the grounds.
There is quite enough gambling going on
in town now, without allowing ''black
legs" from other places to come III and
''liecce' the people We hope that in
the future all gambling OF this kind will
be forbidden on the grounds

in speaking of the lady drivers in the
HIppodrome as the following in reference
to a former Findlay lady.
Miss Ella Ogden Grady, a stately bru-
nette. with dark hazel eyes and IA beau
tiful field of dark brown hair, luXuriant
and elegant. She is from Memphis,
albiet her birth place is in Findlay,
Hancock county, Ohio. Miss Grady
drives with marvellous skill one of the
chariots, and is looked upon as one of
the most accomplished female drivers i'll
the country.
Among other improvements can not
the Commissioners be prevailed upon to
tear down the old wooden fence around
around the Court House yard and put
n new one, The present one is getting
TO be an eye sore. The Commissioners
are spending considerable money i'll
other parts of the county, and they can
certainly afford to give Findlay the ben
eft of a new fence.
The ghost of ORLANDO MEALS, who
was killed over iii Putnam county, not
long since by Squire DARLING, is said
TO be running at large in the Deighbor-
hood of the place where the tragedy was
enacted. The disembodied wanderer
asked Mr.. DARLING for a ''chew of to-
bacco" one night last week, but as he
did not have any of the weed about his
clothes it went off in the direction of
the 1.-TWO for five cents" beer saloon, re
marking as it disappeared i'll the incor-
portal elements, that it would ''gO over
and ask GEORGE KINDER to take n
drink"
Judge MEILY, of Lima, was i'll town
last Sunday, and as is his wont when he
comes to Findlay, lie went to ChHrch.
He went about 3 o'clock in the after
noon, and as the services were unusual
Iy long, lasting until near twelve at night,
the Judge became exceedingly hungry.
Returning to his hotel he found PHILIP,
the night-watehman, taking his mid
night lunch. Taking a glance at the
grub" and measuring the pile by the
requirements of his appetite, he came TO
the conc cIusion that there was not enough
for two, in fact, scarcely enough Tor
himself. Seating himself at the table,
Judge NJ. politely requested PHILIP I"
bring a pitcher of water. While he was
absent the Judge devoured the entire
contents of the dishes, and when the
guardian of the night returned, not Il
vestage of the viands was left. Staring
for an instant at the empty plates,
PHILIP drew Il sigh, and placing his
hand on his stomach, remarked with
rather wry face. Il don't likes desc
