DAYTON, o., Sept. ].
Poor old Wolfgang Silberman-poor old
Dutchman-as indigenous to Dayton View as
the very trees and flowers and rivers bend,
whose merry ''tra-la-la!" OF the familiar
"Lauderbach nab ich'' has awakened the
sluggards OF his neghborhood at day dawn
many's the tme and whose sweet fresh voice
rang out from the twilight road and cut its
way through the gloaming straight to our
hearts-our poor old Wolfgang is dead! Died
by his own hand, too, and with no cause for it
save impatience at the illness that had kept
him prisoner for so long time-well, well, Sin
celo quies," and surely the anthems Of the
celestial regions will be swelled by a voice as
sweet as those Of the present dwellers therein.
The baseball match on Saturday, between
the Nationals, Of our city, and the Ludlows, OF
your own, resulted in score of 30 to n, in IA
vor OF the Ludlows. Not so bad q game as the
Nationals had looked for since they were but
amateurs and their opponents professionals.
One lad had finger broken, another a shoul-

''fetched loose" as Mark Twain hath ii, not to
speak Of starry eyes in spaces black as night
and other poetical wounds.
These are the iirst school days--what mem-
ories OF youth these few words bring back to
our witliered hearts-when Peter Pinder and
rules OF three tied wrinkles into hard knots all
over our sunDllrnt visages! But now-ah, now,
Young America demands your patience and
pOcketbUok, and you groan over the list of
names OF school books that stagger you, and
moan over the even five dollars that must come
from its hiding place and leave said place
mournfully empty! But these ologies and isms

Board have e'en decided to open school one
week earlier than the law ordains, to satisfy
our eassr senators, orators, inventors, etc., in

It's tabooed subject-who don't know 1T?
Oh, paper Of the West-that of our Soldiers
Home, but can not one say that it takes 500
dozen ears Of corn for one meal, just to aston

Dear Star, please tell the tramps, the dirty,
strong, ill-visaged, lazy tramps, who wander
from North to South pole, and who invariably
take Dayton in en- passent that we, the incor-
porate body OF citizens, arc contemplate
ing nice new Work house for their especial
accommodation, which shall have all the mod
ern mprovements-saws, hammers. benches,
planes, pegs, lasts. leather, barrel hoops,
slaves, angers, and hard work unlimited for
such as may offend our honest sense OF Justice.

bottom Of our weary Daytonian heart.
| Gen. Thomas Ewing and wife, and Senator
| Mcdonald, OF Indiana, have been spending q
few days in our city. Last Saturday evening
they were invited to preside at large Demo-
| cratic meeting which took place at The Court
house. 1t was quiet orderly gathering OF
well known Democrats and curious Republic
cans, the former party having fired cannon on
q lavish scale all the afternoon to arouse the
people from their indifference, and further
more tried to get up steam by o small process
sion, wherein wagon with transparency
on one side OF which was q greenback with the
motto, 1--WE want both Bills" and on the other
side also a greenback with the legend, "rhis
buys bread-We want more of them," figured
as the centre OF attraction.
With all that, there was small show OF en-
thusiasm, and when the Senator hal ceased
beating about the bush whereon grow The ap-
ples OF discord-i. e., the currency question
lie yielded the stand amid q noticeable lack OF
any good old Democratic feeling, lack that
started OF on the well beaten war-path with
an astounding declaration, crossed the thin
plank of imitation gingerly, met the school
question horror with vigorous epithets, and at
last stopped harangung the thin air and the
few of the faithful who remained to do him
honor. Your correspondent is Obliged to own
that tho meeting was decided failure and
guGpowder o decided wastage.
A very well known farmer, by name Harris,
