:. WEATHER TELLING PLANTS. Hapne.
man. Inspector of the Botanical Gardens at
Proskou, Germany, has observed that several
plants may be used as weather prophets. Here
are some OF his observations Convolvulus ar.
yeusis, the common English bindweed, and
Angallis arvensis, the EDglish piupernel,
spread their leaves at the end of wet weather,
while the different species Of clover contract
them. Stellaria media, the chickweed, at nine
o'clock 10 the morning, if the weather is clear,
straightens its flowers, spreads it's leaves, aud
; keeps awake until noon; if, however, there is
rain prospect the plant droops, and it's flowers
do not open. 1t they open little the coming
rain vii, be OF short duration. The same with
Pimpinella saxafraea CaIendula pluvalis, the
marigod, opens between six and seven 10 the
morning. and generally keeps awake until fou r
in the afternoon. 10 such cases the weather
will be steady; if, on the other hand, it has not
opened by seven o'clock In the morning YOU
may that day look for rain.
Sonchus arvenis and Olteraceus, the hog.
thistles, indicate fne weather for tomorrow if
the head of the blossom closes for the night;
rain it It remains open. Again: Rain is GER
tain if Harbiscis tronum, the bladder ketmi,
does not open its blossoms; if Carduus
acaulis, the stemless thistle, closes; it clover,
and most allied kinds, drops its leaves. Also,
Lampsana communis, the nipple wort, does
not close its blossoms for the night; if Darby
Verna. the whltow grass, lets its leaves hang
dropping; 1t Galllum verum swells and exhalcs
strongly; also if birches scent the air. Ane-
nome ranuculoides, the crowfoet anenome, tells
the coming rain by closing its blossoms, while
Anemone mentaisa carries it's flowers erect
when the weather is 6oe, and dropping when
overcast.

ONO as a NnnnfhcturIng State.

Extract from an Address by Hon. George II.
Parsons at Columbus
While in the twenty years, from 1850 to
1870, the increase in the population of the
State was about 333 per cent, the increase
IN cereal productions was about 80 per
cent, and that in woel 100 per cent. The
number of hands employed in manufac-
lures had increased 147 per cent. The in
crease in population had been 6S4,931,
and of hands employed in manufactures
S5,7ll. When we consider how large a
proportion OF these were heads Of families,
we see how considerably they are repre-
sented in the increased population Of the
State. The position of Ohio in relation to
variety of production may be seen by COM
parison with Illinois In 1870 the State
of Illinois had a population of 2,539,S9 /;
Ohio, 1856, ,260. The area OF Illinois was
90, ,4l0 square miles; of Ohio, SO, 964 square
miles. The cereal productions of Illinois
were 207, 1876, ,49l bushels; of Ohio, 123,-
473,304 bushels. The number Of hands
employed in manufactures was, in Illinois,
S2,979; in Ohio, 137, ,202. From these
figures, and others like them, Mr.. Parsons
concludes that the Grangers in Ohio are
essentially social rather than political
organization, and that Ohio, mot being de-
pendent upon foreign market, is not Grip
Piled by its fluctuations nor by the alleged
excessive rates of transportation; and in
this independence there is strength"

Coarse yuIrarl,y.

"The enabling act Is The offspring OF the
most unblushing rascaliiy ."-ISenfina.
We presume that the Sentinel reflects the
feelings, spirits and sentiments of its inme-
diate patrons or il would not continue 10
indulge in the use Of such coarse and un-
gentlemanly language. We are strength
ened in this presumption by the informa-
tion that last week at a public table in
that town, at which sat several gentlemen
from Pcrrysburg, citizen Of that place,
without the least provocation, remarked in
a loud and bitter tone OF voice, "the people
Of Perrysburg are all damned rascals and
| do not except present company The
utterer Of this would like to be considered
gentleman. Does or can any man thus
gross and vulgar, possess any of the instincts
and characteristics which serve to con-
stitute that character? We were pleased
to learn that the gentlemen from Perrys-
burg treated the offensive remark with si-
lent contempt, although they could not
avoid feelings Of disgust

Selling Out the Couuty-Attemp pied
Bribery.

The Sentinel at last feels itself compelled
70 respond TO our reiterated charge that B.
q. was seeking to dismember our county
and annex a portion Of il to Lucas. 1t
does not deny the charge but like "httIe
man" confesses it to be true in the follow
ing clear and explicit manner:
"lf the people Of Ross wish 10 be attached
taLucas county, there is little doubt that they
will make their wish known and that vote OF
ths county would approve Of the measure.
The zane is, probably, true OF Lake. As to
the Efforts that the journal says are being
Iaade 10 carry the above scheme into execution
let the people Of Ross and Lake use their best
jadgment. There will be no "atorm Of dissat-
isfaetion and indignation" in the southern por-
lion of the county. The people Of that region
have had experience 10 travelling lonE distances
10 the county seat, 10 years gone by, aud they
viii decide 10 accommodate their friends n
Ross and Lake u they should ask this favor Of
then."
Here then, we fnd the ground openly and
badly taken that B. g. is ready and will
ing 10 sell at least two townships Of the
county to obtain votes to retain the county
seat where il now is. What effect this sev-
eranee would have upon taxation in the
county we win discuss further, so soon as
We have time and opportunity to examine
official documents.
But we would ask, at this time, IL not
here an Gttenpt to bride the electors OF Lake
and Ross1 Is there not an inducement
held out TO them TO vote differently from
what they would without the inducement9
Il net the attempt here to bribe thousand
times clearer and more manifest than the
attempt TO bribe the legislature which the
SsAtiAsl has made itself hoarae in denoun-
eiDgf And was not our neighbor a little
cheeky" in its denuneiation, week after
week, Of legislative bribery, when at the
same time il was, at least, winking at bri-
berry nearer homer Was it not Clootie
donning the easaock and eowl2 In short,
is IL not an attempt to dismember and in
jure the county for all time to come, for
the purpose Of promoting the interests Of
=. or
