Suffrage-at least we see by Columbus pa
pers, that Mr.. Tryon has lately presented
a movement to the Legislature. to that ef-
feet.
THE P. L. C. on its last meeting drew
out a large audience. The reading from
Pick wick Papers was something new to
lovers of Dickens, ,espt cialiy III its phrase
ology.
JouN KELLEY. of Memphis. Tenn, was

CORNER loafers are not as happy now as
during the few warm days of last week.
On Saturday there was a severe storm of
snow and sleet and since then the wealth
er has been extremely cold and disagree
able.
THE horses attached to hack in which
were lady and gentlemen became fright
ened near the Depot on Wednesday last
and ran up State st. to the crossing AT
Main st. when they were stopped without
any damage having been done.
JUDGE CANFIELD closes the Court at
Jefferson on Saturday of this week. The

word having been received from Judge

THE property of the NJ. E. Church on
Liberty street, including the parsonage
and the land belonging to the Society, on
the corner of Wood and Main streets have
been purchased by Mr.. Lewis. of Cleve-
land, for an aggregate consideration of
SIG, 900.
A TIDAL wave, nearly six feet in height,
came rolling into Fairport harbor on Sat
urday morning last, partially submerging
some of the dwellings but doing no partic-
ular damage. The cause of these phenom-
ma, which occur from time to time is as
yet unexplained.
A PORTION of Ellsler's Company, from
the Academy of Music at Cleveland, play
ed here on Wednesday and Thursday eve
nings, to small audiences. The troupe was
so poorly advertised that many who would
have attended did not because knowing
nothing ofthe opportunity afforded.
THE certificate of new road. the "Lake
Erie, Alliance and Wheeling Railroad"
has been filed in Columbus. The incorpo-
rators are o. n. Beekman, Hugh Bleakiy,
Samuel Brooks, L. L. Sanborn and ]. n.
Ross. Its capital is $2,O00,000, and it is in
tended to run from PaInesville to Bridge
port, Belmont County.
PAINEsvILLE needs some accommeda-
ton for transient wanderers who desire
lodging. The distance at which the Infirm-
ary is located from town prevents many
from seeking that shelter and leaves them
to prowl around town and become danger
Gus nuisances. The Sheriff is preemptorily
forbidden by the County Commissioners
from accommodating this class and the re-
suit is often unpleasant, if nothing worse,
to the citizens living in the central portion
of the town.
Mr.. GEO. MORSE, OF Geneva, must be
somewhat singular person, so far as re-
CARDS his taste in marital matters. The
Times, in speaking of the gentleman, says
that he returned from the East, bring
lug with him bride but few days DID,"
In reading the item one hardly knows
which to wonder at the most-the judg
ment of Mr.. Morse that led him into such
an alliance, or the precociousness of cas-.
tern children that rendered it possible to
"perfect' the title"
YET little while, and after few more
snow squalls and an occasional touch of
rain and frost by way of variety, and the
sweet singers of the marshes, even the
frogs will lift up their voices and rejoice
in the return of spring. And the spiders
and house ants will meet in an
nual conference, and the straddle-bugs,
and lightning bugs and potato bugs will
show, and the lulling voice of the mosqui-
to will be heard in the land. And the
meek and persuasive lightning rod man,
and the man with patent goose yokes, and
the churn man, and the man with the mar
vellous cement and next the sewing ma
chime man with his talkative abilities
wound up ready to run any desired length
of time and many others will go to and fro
in the land seeking whom they may de-
light and profit.
