MUSIC IN CANTON,

There seems but one opinion in thepubhc mind
In relation to music in our city, and that state of
unqualified "deaditiveness." Long faces, and
long drawn sighs over this state of things, is the
ruling cog that moves the machinery of the art
divine" Its true there is occasionally sharp
thrown into the musical pool that seems, for
time to elevate the key little, but ere its influence
is felt in its elevating tendencies it is neutraized
by some "Aat that tends to depression, and soon
the same old minor chord is struck and lapse
into the old rut is soon attained II
Now that this state Of things should exist in any
city of the size of Canton, where so much taentof
almost artistic character is found, and where that
of the highest order in its crude stateexists in dor
nancy, needing only to be wrought upon to cause
tito sparkle into life and beauty is, ospeak mild
", q burning shame. There is no reason In the
world why we ShouldInot have one ofthe most eff
cient Choral Societies in the state. We say then,
let the lovers of music bestir themselves nor cease
effort and labor till there exists an organization an
ornament to our city, castngabroad its benign and
elevating influence, to which the finger of pride
may Justly be pointed as power of good.

SORE HEADS RoR TWo,

Some time ago at the Changers picnic, two ro'
bust young farmers metand had some unpleasant
words tending 10 an engagement In the hstlc line,
Not wishing to engage in mill at that time and
place however they agreed to settle the matter
ON some future occasion, when they might meet
under circumstances less liable toplace them I'm.
der the observation Of crowd. On Monday night
OF last week, nese two men, wlthOne or two
friends Of each, met by chance at 0berly's, and
thereupon agreed to repair TO some out of the way
spot! where they might quietly ovade the eyes Of
the police and put bad heads on each other with.
out danger Of molestation, Accordingly they
went at about nine O'clock, To- q secluded place in
the extreme limits Of the first ward, to engage In
mortal combat" aS agreed upon After they ar
rived, one ofthe parties was In the act Of taking
OFF bis coat when the other dealt him two foul
blows on the. head with q billy; but before he
could deliver third blow the other man had his
coat Off and was upon him. He succeeded In
wrenchlng the billy from his Antagonist and In
moment had him at disadvantage, and from
that time until the first striker begged piteously
for mercy, he pounded and kicked him In o terri
BILE manner, and our informant, who claims 10
have been present. stGted that two other men stood
by with revolvers, and demanded thstno interfer.
ence be attempted The man who led of with the
billy was 90 badly handled that he was. s.temponri.
ly blind, and unable to stand on his feet 1t was
desperate encounter, and but for the piiful pleas
OF the worsted man, might have proved fatal /. The
one who received the two slight Abrsions on the
forehead, from the billy, received no other injury
The other man was conveyed to his home by his
friends

ACCIDENT.

On last Saturday Ebbie Hurford, little son of A.
Burford Esq, was playing in his fathers stable
with Willie Kuhns, son Of Rev. L. M. Kuhns
During their childish antics Ebbie got hold of a
gun, and not stopping to consider, and laboring
under the impression that it contained no load
pointed it at his little playmate, when 1t was dis
charged and the bullet went through Willies
left arm, Just below the shoulder and passed on
into left his side. The wound is not dangerous,
though Drs. Phillips and shepler have not yet
found the bu llet, which they think passed around
his body and lodged under the shoulder 5blade'
The escape was fortunate one, asa wound infic-
ted at such close range under such circumstances
would prove more dangerous ininine cases out Of
ten, Another warning to be careful in the mani
pulation of firearms

Ara picnic, near Bellefontaine, Ohio,
last week, young woman named laugh
lin was missing, and after a long search
was found murdered, the ground giving
evidence of a terrible struggle. A man
named Schell, her fathers tenant, was
arrested, and crowd on Sunday broke
the Jail, took him out and hung him.
While the rope was around his neck he
protested his innocence. His wife ac-
cused him of the crime, and since that
the suspicion is that she was the guilty
one, and to save her from lynch law, the
sheriff fhas removed her to another county
jail, 1t is thought jealousy on the part
Of the wife may have been the motive.
The hair in the hand of the deceased has
been examined and corresponds with
Mrs. Schell's. .t

Or the thirty-two millions expended
for the Indian service during the last FIVE
years, it is estimated by careful computa-
ton that at least fifteen million have
been absolutely stolen and divided
among the Indian ring, which is just as
influential at the.White House as it is in
the Interior Department, And that fact,
some people are liberal enough to hint,
has been the secret of Delano's hold on
Grant and defiance of public opinion.

Hon. Lewis D. Campbell, of Hamilton.

the evening of September 18th, in speak
ing of the immense profits of National
Banks. says:
Coming still nearer home, / will call to
the stand the President and officers of
the First National Bank of Hamilton,
Ohio. They are mostly of the Demo-
cratic persuasion. Their banking house
is within two hundred yards of my resi-
dence. Not to give this institution some
notice would be such slight as might
occasion coolness. Besides, l am its
debtor and have quite as much ability to
owe it as it has to lend me money. 1t
was chartered in 1868 and is numbered
56. They knew that it was the early bird
that caught the worm. Their bonds
were bought at $40 on the 500 in gold.
In one of their reports these officers say;
Five years ago this bank declared a
dividend of twenty-five per cent. Since
Since then it has never passed its semi
annual dividend of five per cent, accumu-
lating in the meantime a surplus fund
of $4,000.
Now let us state the account, with
interest on the dividends, from the date
when paid:
Semi-annual dividends on $780,
600 for five years at five per
cent. and interest a.......$ 62,8S6
Accumulated surplus fund -. 10000
Principal of bonds, now worth
more than gold. .............. 100000

Showing net profit on $4,000 in

And at Hamilton our grasshoppers are
only such as appear in city of the
second class. [Applause].

The trade in wool continues very quiet, aud
there is hardly enough doing to give foundation
to report. The country has sold o large share of
its combing woods, and the trade consists of odd
lots of fine Heeces on which prices are tending
slightly downward. The Shippiag List is of the
opinion that If fine woods go any lower there ls
room for speculation in that line, but no dispesi
ton to take hold for that purpose is manifested in
the east. Sales of Ohio and Pennsylvania at 44a
