FROM HASKINS,

HAsKINs, May 7, 1874.
ED. JoURNAL;--In passing through this
little village we find that the amount OF
business done is in good proportion to the
number of inhabitants
The grist mill of Mr.. Mcdonald, under
the superintendence of +. Zimmerman, has
all the work that can possibly be attended
to.
Mr.. j. A. Watts says that he has not had
so much work to do for some years as he
has had this spring, in his saw mill.
The drug store of Gedney q Gibbs is
seldom without a customer, and DR.. G..
has come to the conclusion, some time
since, that he will take Haskins in prefer
ence to Bowling Green for business.
The new store of Miss Mary A. Wetmore
is now the principal object of interest in
the village. She opened her goods last
Tuesday, and since that time she has
been industriously waiting on the numer-
Gus customers that call upon her. Every
thing imaginable, in the way of ladies'
fancy dress goods, may be found there.
Having so recently opened her goods, her
trade, of course is not yet established but
with her polite and obliging ways, she will
undoubtedly have all the business she can
attend to. This store occupies one side of
the building on the south side of the rail
road on Main street, while the millinery
establishment OF Wiley & Bloomfield oceu-
pies the other.
On the opposite side of the railroad is
the store of g. W. Yount, where he is cor
venient to the farmers as they come into
the village. lie has only one competitor,
that of Feallls & Williams.
The Grangers have changed their time
of meeting to Wednesday evening. AS
sawabout all the information on that sub.
ject in the JOURNAL last week, will not
say anything further.
Mrs. Lydia Thomas, mother of Perry,
George II. and Jerome B. Thomas, was
buried at this place, at 10 o'clock A. NJ,
to-day, She was 81 years OF age The
funeral services were held at the residence
OF Mr.. j, b. Thomas, and were largely at

The Mansfield & Coldwater Railroad project
gave q very strong impulse to the population
and business interests Of this place. Notwith-
standing the collapse of that railroad scheme
from the swindling operations of those " no for
merly controlled it, the prosperity of Weston
does not seem to be in any manner affected
thereby.
Abont 6fty new buildings have been erected
during the two previous years, together with a
aouriug mill which is regarded as a frsI.class
institution, and also a planning mill. There are
sew Iral business houses and all seem TO be
proslsriuE.
An excitement has been created here, arising
from the fact that the Mtnsf.ld and Cnidwater
Company have begun suit in the Wood County
Common Pleas Court against several prominent
citizens, To enforce the payment of the balance
ot their subscriptions to that road These
gentlemen are quite ready to pay the balance Of
their subscriptions when any inclination shall
be shown bv the company to complete their
contract of finishing the road. II tnat is not
done they consider that they have been suffi-
ciently svindled already. The courts o ofjustice
seem also IN be Of that opinion as in a test case
in which the brown estate had been sued for
unpaid subscriptions, the Wood County Com
mon Pleas Court has decided against the Com.
pany, and On an appeal to the District Court,
recently held at Tifiu, that decision was af-
frmed MIC.

million dollars, besides earnings, in extraordn-
ary improvements ofroadway, in relaying its

LETTER FROM GRAND RAPIDS.

GRAND RAPIDS May Z, 1874.
ED. JouRSAL:- Through the arrangement Of
the Ladies' Temperance League, our citizens
had the pleasure last eve. Of listening to a very
interesting address by Rev. n. B. c. LOVE, OF
Perrysburg, who is becoming "warrior worthy
of his steal in the temperance cause. The
subject Of license received considerable at.
tention as did also Womans Suffrage, and the
Toledo Blade. He gave some heavy blows to
those temperance (?) people who will not sign
the pledge because they like to drink a glass Of
wine occasionally of which Grand Rapids has
its share. Mr.. l.. dweIt some time on the sub
ject Of Prohibition, showing by extracts from
leading men Of Maine and Massachusetts, that
prohibition is a complete success iu those
States, and that the people could not be pre-.
vailed upon to do away with it at all: and if
good Tor Maine, why not good for Ohio?
Our people were muchly disappointed in Pro-
fessor Gillpatrick's failing to fill his engage
ment in teaching a select school here. He has
been retained at Ann Arbor at an increased
compensation.
Our narrow gauge railroad project is all
right, and an election Of officers is called for
the Sd of June. Papers have been taken out
already to extend 1t on Ia Van Vert.
There is a splendid chance 10 start good
hardware Sure here as there is nothing of the
kind very extensive.
The dry goods firm Of Kerr Bortsl is doing
good business tais spring, selling between
5000 and $500 worth per day. They have the
patronage of the Grangers who, of course .
know where to buy cheap gods. REPORTER.

It's the room whore no funeral diree is sung ;
Yet in il is tie Evil one, whose breath
Is rank Of pesiience, and full Of death.

In a Regiment. sr even in Company, will
be found many strange characters. The 9Th.
Ohio was no exception TO the Iule.
Probably as strange a character as was TO be
found in this Regiment, was William Holland,
of Co. D, =" the Poet of the Regiment He was
the last man any one would have ever sus-
pected of wuong the muse. He was dmutive
in stature, awkward in manners, bent in fonn
and probably resembled Pope more than be did
any other great Poet. He said but little, and
that little was not calculated to elevate ones
idea OF him as a poet Yet beneath this ruff
exterior dwelt mind in which was impris-
oned very beautiful thoughts that could only
find liberty in poetry. HIS poetry was p,ssa.
bly, good, showing much poetical fancy and
containing m'uy deep thoughts and beautiful
printed, and met with quite sale In the Regi-
meni. lie suffered greatly with rheumatism,
and it was while suffering from one Of these
severe attacks Of this painful disease, that lie
wrote one of his best songs. He would write
couple OF lines, return to his bed and Law down
few moments, then get up and write one or
two more lines. As the song contained about
100 lines il took him some time to complete il.
Why the Government kept such men In the
se'vics was always mystery to me, as be was
of M use save to I'LL p.sce in the hospital aud
sarioble poetry, ani bis pen was hardly equal

CLOUDY DAYS.
BY MABEL r. HASTINGS.

Sweet to me, the cloudy day,
with the song birds low sad lay,
Pouring forth strains, never gay,
In the damp air drear.
So0ly falls the chilling rain,
Sadly beats the window pane;
Seems TO me low refrain,
Or the passing year.
Give to me the gloomy day,
When sweet memory can stray,
Ger life's lone and troubled way,
With fancy free,
Chain the thoughts IN beauty bright,
Robe them In those fancies light,
Lift the clouds and gloom from night,
These the days for me.
Then 'tis joy and pleasure sweet,
Clustered round the dear home scat,
Happy faces there to greet,
On each cloudy day,
While with merry jest and song,
Help the tedious hours along,
Mid the happy ones we throng,
Chasing care away
