ADJUSTMENTS.

Mrs, Elizabeth Cady Stanton's lecture
on Z Onr Girlsl1 last Friday night Gwas
heard by 4 select but chilled audience.
The subject was thoroughly treated In a.
manner that eyinced the thoughtful
study Of an active mind. In relation to
"0ur Girls Mrs. Stanton spoke with
sound sense, and her ideas, though not
altogether new to those who heard them
eXpounded were advanced in a clear
manner, that gave them force and inn
pressed them fully upon the minds ofthe
listeners. She closed with an animated
and logical argument in favor Of female
suffrage, which was well received. The
night was very cold and the hall was as
cold as the air outside. Many of the
auditors suffered severely from this in
excusable neglect of preparation.
THE CLUB DANCE.
The closing sOiree ddnSdnte of the Canton
Cotillion Club was held at Richards Hall
on Tuesday evening. 1t was the most
ance being just sufficiently large to rem
der itagreeable. In managing this series
of dances, Mr.. |. p. Miller has met with
hatteringsuccess, and deserves the thanks
of all who have participated in the en-
| ioyment. Fiala's String Band rendered
some fine music, and altogether the occa-
sion was one of rare pleasure. Among
those present from other towns were Mr..
| and Mrs. Hade, Mr.. and Mrs. Schumway,
Mr., and Mrs Clugston, and Frank Lahm,
of Mansfield, Lee Larwell, of Wooster,
Charles Letter, of Ann Arbor, Mich, Mr.,
and Mrs. Chas. McLain, Mr.. and Mrs, f..
B. Bayliss, Mr.. and Mrs. Killinger, Mr.
Russell, Misses Bucher and Mclain, and
others of Massillon, and Miss Pen
nington, of Tifiin, Many of those pres
ent on this occasion made the most of
their time, and condensed more pleasure
in fewer hours than they would had their
minds not been occupied with the near
approach of Lent and its attendant re-
! striCtions in this line of amusements,
THE MAJILToNs,
On Wednesday evening, February 18th
the Majiltons, Charles, Frank and Marie,
with their world-renowned eccentric
comedy company, will appear at the
Opera House for one night only. The
Majiltons are unequalled in their line of
sprightly, active comedy, and their per-
formances have been greeted every
where in the largest cities with un-
bounded applause. In their peculiar
style and manner, they have no peers in
the world, unless it be the renowned,
Vokes. The supporting company is COM
posed of none but number one artists,
each recognized as frst-class in their sew
eral lines. No one should miss the op-
portunity of hearing this justly cele-
brated family, as we can assure them
that their equals have never been seen
before in Canton. Wednesday evening,
February 18th, is the date of their only
appearance.

McGREG0R'S OLD HAT.

In the schmler-preyer Saats Zeiturg Of las
Week, and in the Repository Establishment, schmr
er-Waler-W Works organ was an account ofa fellow
one dark night at Studder's saloon near the depot,
who, from the noise he made, got into the gutter,
and after long struggle and considerable inar.
tiGulate swearing got out and went on his way.
In the morning, however, plug hat was found in
The ditch, and, according to the account given,
the name of "a. McGregor, Canton, o." was writ
ten In pencil in several places inside Of the hat,
Hence the following lines;
McGregors old hat may have wandered astray
And got on pate rather weak in It's way;
But one may perceive when he thinksofit, that,
The head of "Old Mack did not go with his hat.
Why, who has not seen, in habilments neat,
A fellow that sometimes was free in treat,
Whose weakness was such that he soon was laid
fiat,
Although Oh his head, respectable hat2
A man may have done with garment I'm sure
That another poor mortal would like to secure;
And for charlty's sake just let him have that
But keep your otOn head. when you part with your
hat.
One can't always judge from appearances here,
For the heart mey be false, tho the face look sin
cere
And fair looking head, as to shape, and all that
May pass for much more-with gentltmGn's hat
So, what if McGregors old hat got abroad
Was found In the ditch, by the side of the road,
With whisky shop near, where the fellow go
what
Played the deuce with his reason, despite the old
hat.
Let the ape and his tool, then, so on with theiI
| strain
Arrival affair tckles gas bags so vain;-
Methusalehs years would not give to them that
Which honest sense should do, without any hat
This ape of Voltaire, in his vain little school,
May smirk and ;grimace toeach knaveIand eact
| fool
Well wager dinner, and put 1t up pat
This Water Works man may require netG hat

FROM COLUMBUS.
COLUMBUS, February 10, 1875

COLUMBUS, February lO, 1870.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT The action of the
Assembly yesterday was ofa character to
interest your readers residing in Stark
county, as their interests were affected
thereby. The bill authorizing the Com
missioners of Stark and Columbiana
counties to issue bonds not exceeding
$4,000 in amount, to enable the Board
of Trustees to purchase site and build
a home for INDECENT children has become
a law. The amount of these bonds for
which Stark county will be responsible
will be about $4,000 if the $4,000 are
issued for the two counties. Mr.. Sherrick
offered bill authorizing the Commits
sioners of Stark county to levy tax of
$4,000 upon the property of the county
for the purpose of improving what is
known as the Narrows road " in Canton
and Pike townships. When the bill came
up for a third reading, the author moved
to lay it on the table, which motion was
carried.
A petition signed by 144 good and re-
sponsible citizens, headed by the names
of the three Commissioners, asking for
the enactment of such law, was Mr..
Sherrick's warrant for offering the bill.
But it is questionable measure to tax a
community for that which cannot possi-
bly, benefit a majority of those who are
compelled to pay such tax, The bill, as
l have indicated, lies upon the table,
and if any of the citizens are opposed to
its passage, they have the opportunity to
demonstrate against it. The Judicial bill,
detaching Stark county from the Sd sub
division of the 9th Judicial District, and
erecting a new subdivision, composed OF
Stark county, with a Common Pleas
Judge whose duties will be confined to
the county slips in the Senate in the
keeping of a committee. If it fails to
pass the people will have to look for re-
iiefto general reform of the judicial sys-
tenn of the State. The abolition of sec
ond trials, however, will afford some re-
lief at present.
The Reese bill, modifying the Adalr
law having passed the Senate, will come
up in the House to-day, with a strong
probability of its passage, If it does
pass the telegraph will give the news be-
fore this will reach you. ..r h.

..rHEGLLM0RE CONCERT.

1t seems rather to astonish our Eastern
brethren that the services of the great
Gilmore with his wonderful band and his
prima donna and operate corps, should
be secured for the Est Gift Concert of the
Public Library. But it is nevertheless
true. Mr.. Briggs does nothing by halves.
He has promised that the last concert
shall be the greatest, and he will keep
his word. The 9th of February will be
the most memorable day ever seen in
Louisville, millions of dollars will be Civ
en- away, and the recipients will be greet
ed with glorious melodies and rapturous
songs such as never before echoed in any
western city. .,,...............,,. ......,. a.

When South Canton woman attempt
ed to put on her shoe the other morning
and found mouse in it, she didn't faint,
scream murder" or climb on center
table; not any, she merely rushed to the
top of the stairs and yelled; "John!
Johnl Come quick, and shoot the hor-
rid monster,"-and when John had
crushed the poor thing, and battered a
new coalscuttle into oseventy-three shapes,
besides peeling his shin on its rugged
edges, che came cautiously down, and

thing was so horrid ugly that she didn't
want to get near it; then she poked her
nose into the mouth of an ammonia bot
