After the exercises, the students and
their friends had a social in the Institute
chapel. Judging from the number of
and "Saratogas" that left on
the Friday trans, we think Austinhurg
must be minus considerable Of their usu-
al quota of inhabitants. Q.
]. b. M'CLURE's hardware store, in the
new brick block. near the Austinburg sta
ton, is a very convenient affair. Ithas q
well selected stock and the tin. sheet-irOn
and copper business, with its supply of
stoves. enables it to reach wide range of
the wants of the community. With Pu-
lis grocery. two of the three stores of the
block are well provided for. The third
is owned and to be occupied by Theodore
French, for grain and provinder. Anoth-
block is talked of as going
up in the spring, by Capt. L. B. Austin,
with the idea. we suppose, of drawing
trade to that locality. A little rivalry or
in this way, will be very
likely TO increase trade and traffic and
