A NEW AND PROSPEROUS WHOLLY
SALE GROCERY HOUSE IN
TOLEDO.
Q. n. Nichols s Co., to the Front,


Since February last the commercial
resources Of the ''Corn City" have DOS
.sessed a most important acquisition in
the establishment Of the above prosper-
Gus house, at 14S Superior street. The =
members Of the firm came direct from
Detroit, where Mr.. Nichols had achieved
fiattering popularity for the manufae-
ture of the now universal favorite. in
most households, familiarly known as
THE COOKS FAvoRITE' BAKING POWDER"
and with an earnest purpose Mr.. N
started the manufacture of that article
together with coffee and spice, mills, and
an extensive line of groceries. and gro
GERS supplies, generally, exclusively
wholesale, as above indicated-on the.
LIST OF March, taking Mr.. Thao. 8. Dav
into partnership. Their couse-which
is known as Union Mills-is spacious.
and well stocked, being appointed with
all the most modern and approved mills
and other machinery necessary to the
trade, and run by an excellent ten
horse power engine. Nor should we.
fail to remark that they are making n
specially of the finest mustards ever put
on the market, while their samples.of
teas and coffees are the finest we have,
ever seen. Both the pricipals are young
men, energetic and enterprising-of the
closest application to business and most
courteous and attentive to visitors. Mr..
Nichols, we should also state, has had
many years experience in the business
and devotes his entire energies to the
running of the mills. Thus far their
business relations have increased to as
tonishing proportions since they opened,
and their travellers are making live trips
through Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and.
Illinois, while the city traders are extend
ing to them unlimited support. They
propose not to be undersoldand, to give
satisfaction invariably, or forego their
claims to payment. Their popular bak-
ing powder is produced by very fine
: machine capable of turning out so much
as seven tons per day, if necessary, and
their increasing demand for their Cooks
Favorite Powder" is keeping the estab-
lishment more than lively. DESTROYS of
securing the confidence and patronage
of country traders, and most anxious to
put their goods into tie market solely
upon their merits, we are authorized to
state that on application they will glad
ly forward samples to any house free by
mail-desire nothing short of square,
legitimate business, and will ever be
found prompt and anxious to give salts
; faction. From present indications we
, are constrained to opine for them
lasting prosperity, and feel unlimited
confidence in recommending those of our
readers, who are in the trade, to com
} municate with them-obtain samples
} and prices-and thus without cost salts
fy themselves of the strict accuracy of
what we herein state.

North Ridge Letter.

North RIDGE, April %, 1875.
Ed. JoURNAL:-On account of the
weather we have but one subject for con-
versation on the Ridge, at present, and
that is the weather itself. We cannot
talk of the crops, for there are none to
talk of, unless it be crop of cold, which
needs no discussing for each one "1knows
how it is himself" Farm work is not
a success yet, for we have to wear our
overcoats and mittens, and generally
carry an umbrella too. Some people
have sown their oats already, but the
ground has been so hard several times
since that the oats must have become
discouraged about working their own
way up in the world, and the sowing
will probably have to be repeated. Po-
tatoes that were planted two weeks ago
probably got too cold last week. We
hada spell of dry weather about two
weeks ago but have got over that now.
Our Ridge road was in about as bad Or
der as it ever gets and the clay roads
were pretty solid. But now all that is
changed. Our road is better again and
the others are under the weather. The
carpenters have kept at work despite the
weather, and the fruits oftheir labor be-
gins to show in the shape of two or
three new barn frames, which have been
raised. One of these raisings came
near furnishing an item in the accident
line. Three bents of Mr.. James Lem
mons new sheep barn frame were in
place, and the girts were almost ready
to fasten to the fourth, when Uncle Jim
gave the order to pull upa little more,
and it was obeyed. But that little prov
ed to be the little too much, and not be-
ing braced ON the other side the whole
bent went clear over, carrying with it
Mr.. Fred Haff. Both posts were bro
ken, but Fred, who was up ON the beam
holding up the girt escaped unhurt.
Saturday evening March 9th, there
was an Easter party, at Mr.. John Rife's,
at which we social people of North
Ridge enjoyed ourselves, and a lot of
boiled eggs, in a manner satisfactory to
all concerned, our host included, hope,
A donation party for Rev. H. Royce, at
Mr.. I. Willcox's, April 7. cleared fif-
teen dollars, and the company had a
good time too. N. r.

left over last week.

Sabbath SchoOI ConYention.

Sunday, May 9th, afternoon and eve
ming, has been set apart by the pastors
and Sabbath workers of Bellevue and vi
cinity for grand gathering in this in
terest, local and general, under the aus
pices of the Ohio State Sabbath School
Association.
Among the topics to be discussed are
the following:
l. The Bible.
2. The Sabbath School work-what it
is-its fruits-its local claim upon Chris
tians.
8. How can we develope the teaching
power of the Church.
4. How can we reach the neglected
classes.
Among the prominent Sabbath School
men who will be present, with carefully
prepared thoughts on these vnrious top
les, may be mentioned, Clifton; NJ. Mich
OILS, editor of the Springfield Republic,
and President of the Ohio State Sabbath
School Association; Col. Robert Cowden,
of Gallon, Corresponding Secretary of
the Ohio State Sabbath School Associa-
ton; @. E. Newman, of Norwalk; J. R.
Davies, of Sandusky; B. Meek, of Clyde
and others, from Lyme, Flat Rock, ETC.,
nearer home.
1t is earnestly hoped by the friends
here, that all the sabbath schools with
in ten or fifteen miles of Bellevue will be
represented at this meeting. Should the
attendance be so large as to overcrowd
one house, two meetings will be held sim
ultaneously.

Where TO Trade.

Different people have widely different
views in the matter Of trading, but there
is one established rule, if adhered to
seldom or never fails to secure satisfac-
ton. That is, whenever you desire
anything give the preference TO old es-
tablished firms, whose regulations have
stood the test of years, and you still OBJ
serve customers literally besieging them
after protracted test. Such house,
for instance, is that Of BUcKIAND& & Son,
of Front street, which every one knows
the majority patronise, and none have
yet failed to appreciate. Whether med
icines, drugs, chemicals, oils, points, pa
per hangings, stationary, newspapers or
fancy toilet articles, you may always rely
on there finding just what you wnnt.
the business is run with tact, prompt
tude and liberality everapprecinted, and
the reliability of their goods-whatevel
you may purchase from them-proverb
ial.

A Terrible Cutting Airrnr.

About three o'clock last Tuesday after
noon difficulty occurred at Messinger's
livery stable on East Crawford Street
between a white man named Jacob Ba-
ker and negro named Bill Dunson,
in the course of which the latter stabbed
the former In the left side with a pocket
knife, cutting a frightful cash about
seven inches tn length, and also wound
ing him in the right arm. Baker was a
hostler In Messinger's stable, and Dunson
was kind of hanger on about the place,
doing odd jobs occasionally as they were
given him. On Tuesday afternoon Mr..
Messenger was absent from the stable
and Baker was in charge. Some work
was to be done, which Baker wanted per-
formed In his own way, but which Dun
son claimed was not according to Mr..
Messlngers instructions. A hot dispute
followed and while the two were wrang-
ling in the Office of the stable, Dunson
drew his kline and stabbed Baker as
above stated. Afterreceiving the wounds
Baker shouted for help, and Mr.. j. r.
Clark and Mr.. Henry Byal rushed in and
found the negro, with a knife in one
hand and chair in the other, preparing
to renew the attack. He was at once
secured but not before he had tried to
strike Mr.. Clark with chair. After
getting away from Dunson, Baker went
out of the stable Office on the street.
He had only gone few PAGES, however,
when he was taken back and placed in
bed. Messrs, Clark and Byal took the
negro nearly to Main Street, when they
gave him into the hands of Marshal Ruhi,
who placed him in the calaboose for a
short time, and then lodged him in jail.
DIR. Hurd was called and dressed Ba-
kers wounds. An examination of his
person showed that cash had been cut
in his left side, as above stated, of nearly
seven inches in length. The cut was
diagonally across the eighth and ninth
ribs, cutting the cartilege of the former,
the blade of the knife entering the = plural
cavity. The wound is a dangerous one.
and may prove fatal. The second cut
was on the right arm below tine elbow,
and was very painful After his wounds
had been dressed, Baker was taken to
Fremont where his parents reside

An Ancient CITY.

In the current number of the Oreriaui
Il California geologist reviews the geoloci
cal evidence of the antiquity of human
settlement near the present town of Cher
okce, in that state, and estimates the art
OF that most ancient of discovered town,
to be not less than one hundred and eighty
thousand years! The data for I'LL sucl
calculations are necessarily uncertain. a,
they are derived from the present motions
OF the continent, and the present rates oi
erosion; still, from the changes that have
taken place since the pioneers of DrehiS.
toric Calif,rnia left their traces on i,s
ancient sea-shorc. there can he no doub,
that thousands of centuries must have
come and gone.
The traces in question are numerous
stone mortarS, found in undisturbed white
and yellow gravel of Il subaqueous for
nation. not fluviatile, underlying the vast
sheets OF volcanic rock, Of which Table
Monnt1n Is part In one instance :,
mortar was found standing upright. with
The pestle in it. apparently Just as it had
been lett by Its owner. In some cases the
m"rtarS have been found at /. depth Of for
y feet from the surface of the gravel I'M
derlying Table Mountain. The distri-
button OF the mortars is such as to indicate
with great posltiveness the former exi,.
tcnce of i human settlement on that an
:lent beach when the water stood near the
level at which they occur; a time anterior
70 the volcanic outpouring which Tall,.

cial epoch.
The recent geological history of that
region may be briefly summed up AS f,,-

And that is bestl

Their fingers in yours, and their bright curll

On your warm breast;
But the Svor's is purer than yours or mine,
He can love best!
You tremhle each hour because your arms
Are weak your heart is rung with alarms,
And sore oppressed;
Ny da, lngs are safe, out of reach OF harms
And that is best
You know over yours may hang even now
Pam and disease whose fulfilling slow

Mine in Gods garden to and fro,
And that Is best!
You know that of yours the feeblest one
And dearest may live long years Alone
Unloved, unbest,.
Mine are cherished of saints around Cod. hrone
And that is bestl
You must dread for yours the crime that sears.
Dark.guilt unwashed by repentant tears,

But know that as well as for them. for me-

After the volcanic period the land rose
again. the time Of emergence embracing
the glacial period and the new eroding
period in the sierra. during which the
States and hard metamorphic greenstones
and the GRANTEES were slashed with canons
three thousand feet deep by the action of
ice and running water. Taking the rates
of continental movement determined by
Lyell, our geologist calculates that the
time required for the changes thus out
lined could not have been less than eigh-
teen hundred centuries. For period so
long preceding the glacial epoch as the
time when ancient Cherokee was buried
in the water of the advancing sea, his esti-

it does transcend SD enormously the time
