vhata a waste Of power" When the hquor
was poured out ever at MarcOtt's on Saturday
last, number Of woe-begone visases seemed
TO express It awhat waste what waste Of
spirits :" r.
Thomas Muldowny was drunk and lay
down on the track OF the c. S. & G. R. h. at
Tifin, on the evening of the 2Sth- Ihe tram
came along and the poor fellow was go man
pled that he died about Il o'clock the same
night Mr. Muldowney was formerly Marshal
OF Sandusky City. He got his liquor Of III
flu saloonists who now have another example
Of the effects Of their nefarious business to
reflect upon.
The local Of the Jeff. in acknowledging the
receipt of ticket to the Light Guard Band
Ball, which came off last Tuesday night said !;
1--WE should like very much to 60 over and
learn Capt Tyler and Balsley a figure or two
in the poetry Of motion" Oh. the presump-
ton Of these young kids But "poetry Of mo-
tion, in connection with Capt. Tyler is good.
He will have to remove that Falstafian protu-
berance Of his frst.
The agents of Fenner & Co.'s plOw concern
have been operating near KsRtOn, and one
John Kearce gave them an order for forty
plows and his note for $780, His note is now
circulating, but the plows have never reached
him. We don't believe he takes the papers
Remember the plow game, farmers, and don't
allow yourselves to be swindled by any insti-
tuition Of the kind. Better buy Of a "middle
man" whom you know than at first hands
from those you do not know.
c. B. Walters and John Gesser, got into
quarrel in a salooon at Napoleon, on the 2Sth
ult. Gessner was getting the worst of the

the condition of things, struck Walters on
the head with eleaver, cutting through the
skull into the brain, and occasioning a wound
from which Mr. ". died on the night Of the
SOth. A reward of 500 has boen offered for
the apprehension Of the person who INFLICTED
the wound. His name Is given as Geo. Hol-
ingshead, and his age 10 years.
There was little girl,
And she had little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead;
When she was good
She was very, very good,
And when she was bad she was horTid.
She went up stairs,
And her parents, unawares,
Was looking out of the winder;
She stood on her head
In her little trundie bed,
And nobody by to hinder.
Her mother heard a noise,
And she thought it was the boys
playing in the empty attic;
Bot she ran up stairs
And caught her unawares,
And she spanked her most emphatic.
An organization of proscriptivs charac-
ter is being formed in Toledo, the object Of
which is to injure those who belong to the
movement This is one of the
silliest movss We have heard Of, and if per-
sisted in must inevitably affect the parties
themselves. People are not slow to learn that
ats poor rule which viii not work both
ways" The same game has been commenced
here, and a member Of tho Council, it is said,
has been instrumental In inaugurating it.
Does he not think it possible that it may re-
act upon himself? These persons have friends
SIS well as ne, and if they shall act upon the
policy he has inaugurated, and forsake his
shop, there might be a spelling of beef and
waste Of bologna that he did not contemplate.
A fellow who gave his name as Messenger,
and who had been operating in the vicinity of
Tiliin on the "buying farm" swindle, had sue
ceeded in bargaining for a farm belonging TO
Henry Reed. He had represented himself as
a son Of Mr.. Sawyer who was murdered at
a year ago, and wormed himself into
Reeds confidence to such an extent that he
SIS from him which he was to re-
pay, together with 81 900 in cash on the farm,
1T Bellevue, on Thursday last After bargain
ing with Reed, he went to the residence of
Mr.. Raymond, and spent the night there be-
guiling that gentleman out Of an order for
300 on ex-sherif Childs. The next morning
Wednesday, the pretended Sawyer and Mr.
Reed started for Bellevue, but in TifFin Mes
Ienger was recognized by Mr.. Pillars from
Wood county, who had him arrested for swim
1ling done there. Reed recovered his money,
and Raymond got back his order, but it was
mere chance that saved them from loss. If
man comes to you to buy farm, don't be fool
lsh enough to lend him money. It it never a
safe investment.
