That Anti.Lioense Basket picnic az the Crystal
Springs on the Millersburgh road, on saturday
promises 20 be a grand affair. A large amount Of
speaking talent viii be present and esubectswil
be well handled. We shouldn't wonder II the
Constitution itself got backset as well as the
alternative proposition ofliUense.
There viii be speaking on the license question
ON Friday night at North Lawrence, and on Mon
day night at the Stone sehoOl House at Youngs-
town.
The eontinuedengagament In court OF the Mas
sillon correspondent have interfered much with
the correspondence. Court Is now over and the
MassIllon department win be better cared for.
We learn from John Loew Esq, that Navarro
barely escaped large fire in the coopering estab-
lishment of ]. Battyn and Son, few nights
since.
Every days observation and conversation gives
repeated assurances of the defeat ofthe new Con-
stimtion.
Don't fail to vote against the New constitn-
ton.
on Wednesday night flast week there were six
burglarious entries in this city Surely our city
authorities should consider the matter.
Hon. Sidney Edgerton of Akron, was in the city
on Thursday and made short call at the office of
correspondent ofthe Democrat Hon. Edgerton's
visits are always acceptable.
An anti-license meeting was held at the Stone
School House, near Youngstown at Which Rev.
Mr.. Carr spoke acceptably to full house.
Don't neglect the meeting at CrystiaLEprngs, on
the 18th two days before the election Go and
give your influence against the new Constitu-
ton &c
KnLED,-A man whose name we could not
learn was killed at the gravel pit ofthe L. S. 4 n.
V. Railway on Wednesday near Fulton while
coupling cars.
During last week Massllon was taken up with
horse racing The city was full of strange men
strange horses and strange women, with other
etceteras Off free and easy time. Horse racing is
only gambling, and it would not be astonishing If
faro cards and roulette tables and wheels of for
ture did abound as well as the flowing bowl.
