Notwithstanding the boasts of the
New York and other large city pa
pers that abundance of money was
in their midst, the following from a
special in the Cleveland Leader
speaks out the reality thus:
The heavy transfer of registered
bonds now daily going on ind icates
the scarcity of money among those
who heretofore had ample allo vance
as an investment in government
bonds. The register of the Treas
ury says these transfers have not
been so large in long time.
The wealth of the country IS usu-
ally concentrated in the large com
munities, and there, if anywhere we
would expect to find money abund-
ant. There also are held, for the
same reason, the most and best in
vestment. Yet Notwithstanding
these facts, here is an assurance
from governmental authority that
those who have held the registered
bonds as a safe and secure invest
ment are obliged to realize upon
them. Money is scarce every where
and only the best paper and the sur
est collaterals will fetch it no mat
ter how abundant it may be report
ed in the hands of bankers and bro
kers.

The Elyria Democrat of Wednes-
day has the following:
The storm of last Friday night
was very destructive in its effects
in the northeast part of this coun-
ty. twas accompanied by violent
hail, which struck the shore at
Avon Point, and carried devastation
in its path, as far as Dover Center
and perhaps beyond. It's track was
from half q mile to a mile wide, and
the ice fell in snch quantities and
with such force as to completely de-
stroy all kind of crops. Corn and
grain were beaten into the earth,
and the stocks chopped into fine
fragments. Even some cattle suf-
fered injCry as their bloody backs
plainly showed. Some farmers have
lost all their crops, aud Others fear
what remains will not pay for har-
vesting. Vineyards were stripped
Of their foliage, and even the forest
trees are almost bare of leaves. One
farmer told US he could drive over
his farm thelAext morning with a
loaded sled, with as much ease as
on the Winter snow. tits fortunate
that the storm was confined to mar
row limits.

It appears that the county officers
have fully determined to throw every
obstacle in their power in the way to
prevent a complete examination of
county matters. Mr.. Tressler knows
nothing at all-not even if he ever
had a settlement with the Auditor.
Mr.. Theek refuses to appear before
the Committee with his books, and
both claim the right to consult an
Attorney before they answer any
questions. Mr.. Meekison, under
the pretence that he was going to
commence suit against the present
Treasurer, got possession of some
of the books of the Committee which
he now refuses to return.
We have been one Of those that
have. been slow to believe that any
Of our present officers have been
robbing the Treasury, and have
gained much odium from our friends
thereby, but we must confess that
this shutting conduct is beginning
to somewhat stagger our views on
this point-Henry County Signal.

Ar THE Saratoga Boat Races on
the 18th Princeton won the six-oared
race, beating Yale and Brown, and
Wilcox, Of Yale became the winner
Of the single scull race. Yale also
came out a head in the base ball
games and now wears the champion
belt On the 10th the wind was so
high that no boating could be done
and the races were postponed until
the 18th, when for the same reason
they we're again postponed till 10
O'Clock, on the 18th. At the hour
named on the 18th, the boats start

beaten by the crew of Columbia,

The thistle, nettle, and general weed har-
vest is at hand. Those having lots along our
city thoroughfares, where these botanical en-
emies are Hourishing on each side of the side
walk, viii confer special favor by inserting
the sickle or scythe before seeding sets in. A
good harvest of this kind is bad enough, but
better next year would be worse. Citizens,

Lovers of fine arts, who have Of late been
50 unspariusly entertained with variety of
portraits and other pictures from the able pen
of Mr.. G. D. Thompson, of the popular frm
of McKecknie &.Thompson, Summit street,
Toledo, hitherto exhibited in the window of
Mr.. Fred Eaton, will in future find such spec
linens in the window of Mr.. J. COOPER PRICE,
the famous store for gents underwear and
general furnishing goods, corner of Summit
aud Madison streets. Considering the popu-
larity of Mr.. Price-the universal apprecia-
ton Of his goods, and the prominent position
of his universally sought for establishment,
we think discretion will favor the change.
1t is certain no specimens of art in the city
are more worthy the best position for public
exhibition and were we consulted for an opin-
ion it would decidedly be in favor of the most
popular store to place them in. If any one
can eclipse friend Price in this respect we
shall be glad to hear from him. Give a call
and judge for yourselves.

Nothing is more certain than this, that the
Universities of ten and twenty years ago are
out Of date; that they have fallen behind the
times. People know this, and in Schools and
Universities they patronize, they want some
thing that shall not be more than a half a
century out of date at least. There has
been and is growing dissatisfaction with
the antiquated course pursued heretofore, and
Universities gradually begin to pay more at
tention to common sense, and less to Greek
and Latin, and matters that are Of no practi-
cal account whatever. To say the whole in
a half dozen words, young men want the
training that will fit them for life and its du-
ties; and not only train them, but do it thor
oughly and well. The Toledo University is,
we are proud to say, an institution of this
kind. It is right too, that Toledo, one of the
most enterprising cities on the lakes, should
have for its training school the best Universe
ty, without any exception, in the whole
c)untry.

large three story structure, lust far eno1gh
away from the din and hustle of the CITY TO be
