WoMESs CHARM OF NEEDLE WoRK.-
There Is something eTquisitely pleasant

from women. Our own sex is incapable
Of any such by.pIay aside from the main
business Of life; but wOmen-be they OF

piited with intellect or genius, or endowed
With artiul beauty-have always some
little handiwork ready to I'LL up the tiny

doubt plies II on occasions; the woman

ben, the wonan's eye that has dis
covered new star turns from It's
glory to send the polished little
instrument cleaning along the hem
Of her kerChici, or to darn a casual
flaw in her dress. And they have the
advantage Of US in this respect. The
slender thread Of silk or cotton keeps
them united with the small, familiar,
gentle interests Of life; the continually
operating influences do much for the
health Of the character, and carry of
what would otherwise be dangerous ac-
cuniulstion OF morbid sensi6ility. A
vast deal Of human sympathy runs along
this electric line, stretching from the

THE PRnSpECTs

Every day we receive new evidences Of
the fact that the people Of the county
will vote, by II large majority, in favor
OF removing the county seat to Per
rysburg. In some localities, where
few men, who have been hired for the pur-
pose, have made great deal Of noise for
Bowling Green, leading casual observers To
suppose that the people would vote against
removal, careful canvass shows results of
the most gratifying character. We have
not doubt but the majority in favor of
removal, Notwithstanding the importation
OF votes by Bowling Green, will exceed
five hundred. Nevertheless, not stone
should be left unturned, and the majority
should be swclled to one thousand, if pos
Sible.

The Custur Meeting.

A Democratic meeting was announced
for Custar on Saturday night, and among
others DIR. MASvILLE, of Bowling Green,
was advertised for speech. Some of the
Perrysburg Democrats decided to 20 up
and take part ia the meeting, among them
Messrs. TYLER and DoDaE. The Arion
Cornet Band was also engaged to go up
there and enliven the occasion with music.
They all boarded the Dcshler Accommo-
d"tion at five o'clock, expecting To meet
the Bowling Green orator and his friends
at Tontogany. They did there meet, but
when the Bowling Greeners saw the crowd
from this place, instead of going with them
and contributing something towards their
Democratic demonstration. they lost their
temper and refused to go to their meeting
declaring that if Perrysburs waa going mp
there they might run the meeting aud be
d-d." We understand the meeting was
good one, for Democratic gathering-all
the better on account OF the absence OF the
Bowling Grcencrs.
