Barn Burnt.-on Thursday morning last,
about o'clock, barn on the farm of Mr..
Platt Brush of this city, situated in Ballville
township, was destroyed by fire. The origin
of the fire is not known, but it is supposed to
be the work of an incendiary. Mr.. Peter
Speildenner had about $500 worth of Agri-
cultural Implements stored in the barn, all
of which were destroyed. The barn was valued
at $500, insured for $3.50, with an insurance Of
$500 on the Agricultural Implements.

IN THE HANDS OF A RECEIVER
1t is with regret we learn that the
L. E. & L. R. R., has passed into
the hands of Receiver, w. H.
Gaylord, of Cleveland. As there
may be false reports in regard to the
matter, we deem it best to give a
statement of the causes which have
led to this result. It win be remem-
bered, about three years ago, the
franchises of the old company were
sold, and soon after, a new company
under the name of the L. E. & l.
Ry., was organized. This com
psny effected its arrangements for
an extension of the road to Lima
and st. Marys, and in doing so relied
upon the Boesel law to secure local
aid for the construction. At the
time the Boesel Law was declared
unconstitutional, the work had not
yet quite reached st. Marys, and an
amount of local aid, equal to abou
100000 was swept away from it.
leaving it without sufficient means
to properly conduct the work, and
ever since it has been straini1g
every nerve TO keep up and yet retain
control Of its road. The financial
panic, of last September, which nip
ped SO many railroad projects in the
bud, by its depressing influence on
business, tended to further embar-
ras the company; the interest on the
first mortgage bonds issued to Sc
cure the iron for the extension, re-
mained unpaid, and now, at the in
stance of the mortgage holders, suit
is brought for foreclosure and sale,
and the company has, meanwhile,
passed into the hands of a Receiver.
The management under the Receiver
remains unchanged. AS we said be-
fore, we regret the result, for we
know that every effort of the com
pany has been made to avert it,
while at the same time laboring hard
to place the road in the best possible
condition. It is a matter of regret,
also, that anything should have oc-
CURED which may defer the exten-
sion of the road to Union City, and
on to its ultimate destination.

During the past week we have been shown
the drawing of the city map intended for the
Atlas which Everett, Stewart & Co. are
getting up for Sandusky county. It is GER
tainly well done, and as it has been pro-
nouneed correct in every respect by old citi-
zens and by the city engineer, and all others
who have examined it, we can commend it to
the people. 1t will be one of the features in
the Atlas. Another feature of the Atlas will
be its photographic one, consisting of portraits
of old settlers and representative men of the
county, views of residences, workshops, stores
and farms, which vividly represent the
county. This will alone render the work
most acceptable, and we find that the idea is
so popular that in whatever locality the can
vasser appears, he meets with success. This
can be judged when we say that in one day,
recently, canvasser in York township took
orders for twelve large views. When the
canvasser waits upon you, examine the work
carefully and we are sure you win be suited

Cooper House BuTned.-It is only a

Cooper House Burned.-It is only a
few weeks since the Cooper House narrowly
escaped destruction by fire, and the repairs
upon it were yet uncompleted, on Wednesday
morning last. But, it seems, they were not
destined to be completed, for the work of the
incendiary interposed, and about hali-past
five o'clock, on Wednesday morning, an alarm
was given that the house was on fire. It
would appear from the reports of those earli-
est on the ground and who succeeded in re-
moving the furniture belonging to Mr.. Kauf-
man, which had been left stored in a room,
and the wagons and buggies belonging to
Gephart It Kessler, which had been stored
upon the first floor, that the floors and
doors had been covered with coal oil, and fully
prepared for rapid combustion. As a conse-
quence the fire spread rapidly, and although
the steamer was promptly on the ground and
kept the fire confined within the building, by
o'clock the building was a mass of ruins
The amount of insurance upon the building
was $6,000-S2, ,0OO in Home of Columbus,
$4,000 in Fire Association of Philadelphia,
and $1,000 in Howard of New York.
Mr.. Brady, carpenter, who had been en-
gagged in making the repairs made necessary
by the previous fire, lost all his tools, on which
there was no insurance. Chas. Everett, car
penter, whO occupied room in the building
lost all his tools, but fortunately had an insur-
ance of $50 upon them. The furniture of H.
Kaufman was somewhat damaged by water
and removal, but to what extent we are un-
able to say.

''Now is the Winter of Our Discon.
tent made Glorious

"Now is the Winter of Our Discon.
tent made Glorious
by the arrival of~beautiful spring,
with its balmy days, warm showers
green fields and budding trees. But
with all this beauty and brightness
comes work. The gardens must be
made, lawns cleared up, house
cleaning, painting, paperiug, white
washing, DC, to be done. For as
Nature aWakens to new life and puts
on fresh livery, so we, naturally,
initiate her in this; and what more
fitting example could we follow thar
hers
Now, such being the case, it is a
matter of the greatest Importance to
know how best to do this, and where
to procure the necessary materials of
the best quality, and at the same
time at the least cost. That 'the
bess is the cheapest in the end" is a
fact accepted and acknowledged by
all. First it is the best at the begin
ming, lasts longer, costs no more for
the labor to apply than poor mate
rials, and lastly, there is very little
difference in the first cost.
lam speaking now Of paints in
particular. Do you want to paint
white? There is no better or cheap
er made than the Phoenix Brand of
Eckstein Hills & Co., for which I
am special agent,
1t has now been triedin this city
and county for ten years, and aevey'
for once, has it failed to give entire
satisfaction. And 1 do firmly be-
lieye and assert there is no better
lead made. For colored paints, for
cottages, &c, we have our own
colored paints, which, for durability
and cheapness, far excel all liquid or
chemical paints. They never fade or
peel, and retain their lustre for years.
Zinc Paint, Graining Colors, Vm-
nishes, and Brushes to use them, al
ways on hand, of the best quality
and at the lowest price. So much
for paints.
Now, after painting, the smoky
walls must be papered and decorated; /;
whitewash wont do, it rubs of, and
soon looks as bad as ever. Ihave the
largest and best variety of Wall Pa
per ever brought to this city, which
must be sold at the lowest prices.
Now this is saying q good deal, but if
you think Of papering, don't buy un-
til you look atmy samples, and you
will be convinced that this statement
is true. But doyou ask where is this
place (? Where are such bargains to
be had ? And where only are the
best goods kept? ? Why! Where
else than at McCulloch's old and
reliable Drug Store! Established SO
years ago Come and see.

A tragedy took place at the village
of Riga, in Leaawee county, Michi-
gan, on the Lake Shore Railroad,
last week. The principal paatieip-
ant was an old Toledo character,
known as the 'Flying Dutchman,"
but whose real name is John Miller.
1t appears he met his victim, farm
er, named Hall, in q saloon, after
having quarrelled with him few
days previously about a colt. The
old feud, under the influence of
liquor, was again revived, and during
the dispute, Hall gave Miller the lie.
Quite a fracas occurred, and during
it Miller said: "I'lI fix him before
he gets away" 1t was but few
minutes after this that he drew
knife and gave Hall the fatal stab.
AS soon as he saw what he had
done, he ran out of the house, leap
ed the fences like an antelope, and
ran across the fields to the southeast,
was overtaken and brought back.
He came near being lynched, before
he could be taken charge of by the
officers, the excited people crying
"Hang him" Miller has borne a
hard reputation ever since he went
to the place.

Yet, the bummers there do not seem
to have captured the city authorities
as in Chicago, and as a consequence
they were subdued, and the work
now goes on peaceably, while a
strong police force guards against
any possible out break.
