A WELCOME Invention.

Our townsmeh VIM, H. Cloud and
David Craig have, within few weeks,
received from the Patent office a patent
for an improvement in vehicle and car
seats, which is bound to prove invalua-
BILE not only to them but also to the
public generally. 1t is adapted to wagons,
buggies, carriages, railroad cars, or any
other similar conveyance where seats are
Insed, and at once transforms a wagon
on rough road, to an easy riding con-
veyance, in which all the -disagreeable
featuresof riding in wagon are dis
pensed with. It's simplicity and com
pleteness strikes the examiner at once,
and he wonders why it was not invented
years ago, for the benefit Of mankind.
1t consists of stats attached by flexible
wires of uniform strength to the seat
risers, and also of back adjusted by
the same means, and which yields to
any pressure against it. Thus, in case
Of the sudden jerking of a wagon and
the individual being thrown against the
back of the seat with considerable force.
it yields to the pressure and reacts with
out any unpleasant results. 50 with the
seat; it yields like a spring bed, and
either on smooth or rough roads proves
its value by the ease of motion which it
imparts, Mr.. Craig has, we under
stand, disposed of one-haf his interest
to Mr.. II. r. Bowlus, of the sash and
door factory, and the company consist
ing of Messrs Clond, Craig and Bowlus
have already commenced the mannfac-
ture Of the seats with prospect Of at
once realizing the fruits of the inven-
tion. The seats can be afforded SO low
that no one Who uses 4 wagon will 3 be
without them, and we should not won
der to,see Them find their way into the
cars, at an early day. A, sample seat
is now on exhibition at the hardware
store of Garfield, Hedrick & Bristol,
where the public are invited to call and
examine it. The company, we under
stand propose to put agents in the Geld
to dispose Of eothty and State rights
which are for sale. at reasonable prices.

Ithas been said, and we believe with un
questionable etruthfulness, that Fremont,
High School=its efficient conduct and
the advancement of its pupiIs-stands
in most favorable contrast with any
other similar institution in this or ad
joining States. And were it not so, the
indefatgable superintendent, Mr.. Ross,
and his. efficient staff of assistants would
verify fall short of their well merited
dues. OF this q more gratifying exehi.
phfcation could not be afforded than the
examination in music, writing and draw
ing, on Friday last, of the united public
schools associated Herewith. Competent
examiners in the persons of Nh, IS, @,
Collins and Mr.. Thompson-conducted
the proceedings with much patience,
ability and application, while the at
tendance of relatives and friends of the
young folks present could not fail to
have proved very pleasing to those
whose tedious labors had been applied
in teaching the young idea" Among
those present may be mentioned the
four members of the Board of Educa-
tion-The Rev. H. Lang, Messrs. Stine,
Van Ness and Doncyson; the Rev.
Bushnell, Winters, Chittendon and
Lease, DIR. Wilson, DIR. Stilwell, DIR.
Wilmer, Messrs. Plat Brush, G. r.
McCulloch A. W. Miller, w. Hafford,
Judge Green, Messrs. Furgeson, Lati-
more, &c. It was also very gratifying to
notice SO many ladies in attendance, in
cluding Mrs. Cal. Bristol, Mrs. A. H.
Miller, Mrs. McCulloch, Mrs. P Brush,
Mrs. Keeler, Mrs. Parks, Miss l., Lang,
Mrs. Slime and niece, Mrs. Elderkin,

er, Mrs. G.. Camfeld, Mrs Meng, !,
Mrs. ,Dorr, Mrs. Powers, Mrs. Butnan,
Mrs. Gallagher, Mrs. Downs, Mrs.
Smith, &c. The first hour was occupied
by about 24O children from six to eight
years of age, in the @ and d
grades, who sang very ,ereditably some
selections learned in the past
year; questions in music were answered,
and the marching and counter marching
of the young folks was much admired.
From 10 to II A. NJ, the A. and B.
primary grades were examined, and the
@ and d Grammar school followed, |
occupying the time till noon. LLi FL
In the afternoon the pupils of the
High School, to the number of As to 80
were put through similar examination
10 that adopted in the morning, the
singing of "Nearer Home" the "Waltz
Song" and a "Patriotic Glee, " giving
great satisfaction. The A. 6 B. Gram
mar school followed, and concluded the
proceedings. The specimens of draw
ing and writing were, in our eyes, e1-
complimentary to pupils and
teachers alike. Mr.. Thompson and Mr..
Collins both spoke very encouragingly
to the pupils, and in oonplimepting the
principal and his assistants, assured
them they had ample room for Icohgrat-

About four weeks ago Mr.. E,

Mr.. BURNETT, we may state, is a
thorough gentleman, most courteous
and indefatigabIe, having already
had an experience Of fifteen to TWEEN
tyyears in the same line of business
at Wapakoneta, Auglaize Co., and
Sydney, Shelby Co, at which places,
by his unremitting energies and
care for the interests Of his guests, he
deservedly secured a very lsrre cir
Gle of friends. Mr.. CHgRcH, of Con-
necticut, on the other hand, has not
had similar experience, but what is
of more interest to commercial men,
has filed a responsible position as
representative of leading houses in

fifteen years, filing which capacity
has admirably adapted him TO a

SALES FROM 2la O'CLOCK p II. TO CLOSE or BUS
THURSDAY. Sept. 0-p. NJ,

The early dealings at the Stock Exchange to-day,
under the continued Leadership of Western Union
Telegraph stock developed lively demand for
nearly the whole list, which continued for the FIRST
hour or two or until prices had advanced from u to
lis per cent when the "shOrts" seeming to have
abruptly closed up their interest the general list
weakened and thereafter continued dull to the close,
ut decline of about u per cent in the face Of West
ern Union continuing strong at the best
price of the day. The principal exception to
this condition of tho market was that OF
Erie, which was persistcnty buIlcd to the close, at
49, being within Il per cent of the highest price OF
the day. The points to buy this stock continue to
be freely given out and will very possibly prove as
valuable to the last buyer as were similar points on
Wabash at about II, when it had reacted from
about -. Still, there few spectators who.
believing that Erie Common is worth some
thing Ike the price at which it is selling,
are turning their attention to the pref
erence shares. which went up to 40 to-day.
They argued, very properly. tina if Erie Common is
intrnsically worth anything at all, the Preferred
shares must be very good investment. Lake
Shore opened with good demand for the stock at
573sa576s, and for o long time remained quite
steady although active at 57i9, later selling down
to 81 and closing at Sill The NOrth-W Western Com
mon stock was well sustained at about a per cent
ness, but the small advance seemed to bring out all
the stock required by the demand. while the Pre-
ferred, which opened at 55l2, declined to So. st.
Pauls at the close show decline from the first
prices of the day of a and - cent. We hear that
some officials of these two roads express dsappont-
ment at the receipts Of grain ut Chicago and
Milwaukee being 30 much less than they
had anticipated, and this feeling is aggravated by
the continued decline in the prices of wheat
and corn. Rock Island which opened at 10S. and
sold at 1854, closed at 1878 and was offered at
that price. Pncic Of Missouri showed considerable
weakness in opening at Ala and closing at 1865.
Pacific Mail was made quite a1ive at 1913 TO 80.
causing bad scare to the "shO )" who, in their
eagerness to buy carried the price up to $685. from
which it slowly but steadily declined to 3sls
