Travelling Distress.

Two men, three women, q wagon and
blind man arrived in the city yester.
day under circumstances that elected
considerable sympathy. The blind man
was not permanent figure OF the party.
he tackled himself to 1t in Southern Ohio
and was dropped out in Columbus The
five persons remaining are brothers and
sisters, and are named Martin. One of
the women is about thirty years old, the
others in the neighborhood of twenty
and the men close to twenty five. Taey
say they started from Randolph County
n C., with one horse, q wagon and few
domestic effects, bound nOrthward to
better their condition, but without any
special point certainly in view. Their
horse died somewhere the other side Of
Chillicothe, and from that point to Col
umbus they have drawn the wagon them.
selves. They made halt yesterday on
High street, between State and Town
and attracted the attention of large
number of people by their ragged, dirty
condition, as well rs by their singular
manner of locomotion. They are now
shaping their course to point north Of
indianapolis, where they have friends
living. Their story enlisted con.
siderable pity among those who heard
it-particularly in the case of Col
Groom, who, by his own exertions
among the merchants along the
street, secured donations for them to the
amount Of $50 With this money they
will be enabled to buy horse. Several
pairs of shoes were also given them, and
they were provided with place to sleep
last night.

had been a soldier during the late war,
and had vivid recollection of family
in North Carolina who, under circum

visions. The story sounds like fiction,
but in the women of the forlOrn p 'rty

bounty he was indebted for square

The travelling North Carolina family
is a permanent institution among re-
porters. The story faithfully repeated
above sounds like several other North
Carolina stories that have gone the
rounds of the press. 1t only lacks the
essential particular of a dog under the
wagon. But the parties described in
this report came from somewhere, and
they looked sufficiently distressed to have
come from Patagonia.-Ohio STATE

C0DDtV Seat at Baldwin.

On Thursday, Of last week, the
citizens OF Lake aud Elk townships
voted on the question Of issuins
bonds for the purpose Of raising
money to help erect county build
ings when the County Seat shall
have been located at Baldwin, by n
vote Of the people of the county.
and the Board of Supervisors shall
see tit to erect said buildings.
There was not single vote cast in
tie first mentioned township against
the proposition; while in Elk three
fourths ofthe entire vote was polled,
and only one against issuing bonds.
THUS it will he seen that $4,000
has been pledged to the county to
hel in the erection Of county build
ings, providing the County Seat
shall be located here.
In connection with TIE above fact
we can truthfully say that Baldwin
is the most centrally located Of any
of the villages in Lake county, along
the line of the Railroad. That is
the main reason why the business
of the county shoald DO transacted
here. The site is an excellent one
to tend to the building up Of a large
town. The branch OF the Pere
Marquette River affords ample wa
ter power for manufacturing pur'
poses. The water is clear, cold aud
pure; one of the most beautiful
streams in existence, and just the
thing needed in the manufacture of
paper. But in the absence of such
a factory, it will do equally good
service in affording motive power
to saw mile, planning mills, single
mills, sash and door factories, etc.
Baldwin is already the largest
village in the county, and will
without doubt keep the lead in
point Of business, population, etc.
A fair index OF the business carried
on here at present may be found in
the advertising columns of the
STAR. Additional buildings are
now in process of erection; the ma
terial being on the ground, or being
prepared. While the growth is not
rapid, it is favorable and healthy.
We are credihly informed tina,
members of the Duarl of Supervis
ors who have hitherto been averse
TO designating Baldwin as the
County Seat have agreed to do SO
if IS, 900 would be raised as a gift
to the county. We cannot doubt
they are men of honor, who will
willingly carry ont their agreement.
Nor have We scarcely any doubt
that the people are ready to vote for
a measure which is 80 clearly TO
their advantage. If we are rightly
informed Lake county has to day no
site IN her possession on yhtch TO
erect county buildings. Neither
does she own buildings of any kind
