DEAR NEws:-We are experiencing one of the
coolest and stOriest Springs that comes within the
memory of that famous individual ''the o. l."
The severest gales were those of the. .29th of
April. Our fishermen had their pounds" all torn
up and torn to pieces, many of their stakes and
some of their "twine" carried away entirely
'gone oUer the falls" say the boys-"Telegraph to
Buffalo to stop 'em." 1t is estimated that the di-
rect loss on fishing ''rigs" in and about Sandusky
and the Islands, cannot be less than $40 OOO while
the loss of fish they might have caught will not fall
short of 100000 more.
Your correspondent has an interest in three
pounds, and estimates loss at not less than $500
direct and $1,000 consequential" In short, the
storm was the worst that has ever been witnessed
here by the present inhabitants
Seven persons were drowned from two vessels,
wrecked a few miles from our shore.
Vegetation is unusually backward. Peaches al
most entirely destroyed by the severe winter, and
some few trees killed.
The various small islands in our vicinity are be-
ing bought up by parties from Cleveland, Toledo
and other places, to be made into summer resorts
Ex-Gov. Hayes and other parties from Fremon:
own Mouse Island, "a half-mile from herel and ar
having it cleaned up ready for the erection of cot
| tages this summer.
Other parties from Cleveland have bought thi'
winter small island some three miles from here
called Stsrve Island, while others have erected CO;
tsges at the new and popular Lake View" ground
on this coast, and within a few miles of our city
Our place, Ottowa City, has lately received re
cruits from Wing Valley, Mo-, Messrs. s. a. GlenI
and John W. Glenn and their families having re-

Our Island offers many advantages to those seek
| ing health and pleasure-magnifcen views of the
lake and many adjacent Islsnds-splendid boating
and driving privileges.
Game and fish also abound, and afford opportu-
mites to the sportsman to kill time to his hearts
content

here, but next week expect to pick up our satchel

Spring work is advancing under more favorable
auspices than was anticipated q month ago. The
farmers have had the very best of weather for pre-
pairing and putting in their crops of corn OATS &C.,
and there are very few at present, who are not
through with their planting. Some who could have
finished this week, preferred later planting.
Wheat month ago looked remarkably poor, and
the general verdict was, "no wheat this year" but
we are happy to report that the prospect is not
serious with after ALL and if there is nothing in
tervening between now and harvest time, third,
or possibly half crop may be expected.
will add, for the information of the farmers in
other sections of the county, that many of the
farmers in this vicinity have been using Morgan's
Patent Combined Land Roller, Harrow, Marker and
Cultivator this Spring, and all speak highly of its
great utility and economy in saving time and labor
1t will be further tested in the cultivation of corn
this season, and will doubt prove satisfactory.

I must forego my former cherish
ed opinion that 'Flora' is a female.
She says she is a voter, as she well
might be and still be a woman, if
she is one of the Patrons of Hus-
bandry, for among Grangers men
and women vote alike. But I find
intrinsic and conclusive evidence in
the last communication over that
signature that the writer is of the
masculine gender. I am therefore
prepared to say to all the world, that
"Flora" is a man, not o woman, a god,
not a goddess
"Flora" says, if Democracy legal
ICES the sale of liquor to minors and
persons intoxicated, that 1 will be
likely to give the law my unqualified
appreciation. This is ungracious and
unfeminine, if not uncharitable.
have not said anything to Justify
such q conclusion. If "Flora" does
not understand my position, 1 must
hope that others will find no diff
Guilty in doing me greater justice.
"Flora" says further that the Adair
law was amended by our Democratic
Legislature to accommodate the
liquor sellers. If so, how so, and to
what extent? Before the time Of
the amendment, a man and his wife
could make this kind of arrange
ment; he would enter a saloon and
get drunk, and by the time he be-
came ''full and furious" his wife
would follow, tear his hair and drive
him out, while she remained to raise
such a howl about the bar-keepers s
ears that he would be glad to paS
twenty or fifty dollars hush money to
prevent her ''going to law" This kind
of trick could be played, and was
played more than once, under the
Adair law, but it cannot be repeated
now. The law was made more per
feet and efficient in every way by
the amendment, and it is no longer
man trap for the sport and profit
of "black mailers."
There is another sign that 'Flora
is not q woman, in the fact that that
parsonage takes an interest in polit-
ical matters. There is talk about
Democrats and Democracy, as il
nothing good or wholesome could
come from that source Is it meant
to be insinuated that I am Demo
crat? Why, I have never voted q
Democratic ticket I am mindful
that the Republican party has the
mission to fulfill of saving the prin
ciples that have been incorporated
as amendments in the Federal Con.
stitution. The Democratic party
has no policy, and no object in view
except to obtain power for the sake
of power. Having shown their dis
approval of robbery and fraud, the
people will next show their sense o1
the great value and Importance ot
the Republican party. So at least
I hope and believe.
This, I suppose, Mr.. Editor, is the
last writing I shall send you ovel

ATTENTION, REPUBLI-
CANS!

We hope every Republican of the
county who can make it at all conve-
nient to come, will attend the county
meeting next Saturday. The time
has come to make an earnest and uni
ted effort to rescue this county from
the control of the Democratic party,
into whose hands it has been allowed
to drift through apathy and uuwise
divisions in the Republican ranks
We have the votes to elect the whole
Republican ticket in this county next
fall, but it will require earnest work
and thorough organization to bring
the voters to the polls. Hence the
great Importance of full meeting
next Saturday, when a new Central
Committee should be chosen, and all
the machinery put in motion for an
active and efficient campaign.
Ohio is to be the battle ground in
October on which will probably be
decided the Presidential campaign Of
next year. Let the Republicans Of
Highland get ready to do their part
in the great contest. Besides the
State ticket, the county ticket will he
very important, there being a Repre-
sentative and State Senator to elect
and also County Auditor, Treasurer,
Sheriff, Probate Judge, Recorder and
Commissioner Come up, then, Re
publicans, from every township, and
show by your presence next Satur-
day, that you appreciate the magni-
tude and Importance of the contest
before you. and that you are deter.
mined to do your duty.

Charade.

From the scented clover,
From the wOOdbine bower,
Where the busy rover
Clings to the bending 1oweri
From the summer roses,
Where by the sunbeams nursed,
Each swelling bud uncloses,
Comes my drowsy first.
When the lamp is lighted,
At the close of day,
Entering uninvited,
Never asked to stay,
Round the chamber wheeling,
Now circling slow, now fast,
Blundering 'gainst wall and ceiling,
Flies my clumsy last.
By forest and by fountain,
On rock and stone and tree
By woodland and by mountain,
Where there's an eye to see,
On wall of city dwelling,
On forest giants bole,
Stand the inscriptions telling
The reader of my lchote.

The Best Evidence.

The following letter from Rev. E. S. Best, Pastor
of the NJ. E. Church, Natick, Mass, will be read
with interest by many physicians also those suf-
fering from the same disease afflicted the son of
the Rev. E. D. Best. No person can doubt this ties
timony, as there is no doubt about the curative
power of VEGETINE.
NATIcK, MASS, Jan. l, 1873.
MR.. II. R. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-We have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE a medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured that it has been the means of
ing our sons life. He is now seventeen years of
age; for the last two years he has suffered from
necrosis of his leg caused by scrofulous affection,
and was so far reduced that nearly all who saw
him thought his recovery impossible. A council of
able physicians could give us but the faintest hope
of his rallying; two of the number declaring that
he was beyond the reach of human remedies, that
even amputation could not save him, as he had not
yigor enough to endure the operation. Just then
we commenced giving him VEGETINE and from
that time to the present he has been continuously
improving. He has lately resumed studies, thrown
away his crutches and cane, and walks about cheer
fully and strong.
Though there is some discharge from the OPEN
ing where his limb was lanced, we have the fullest
confidence that in little time he will be perfectly
cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of VEG
ETINE, but lately uses but ittle as he declares he
is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yonrs,
Z. S. BEST.
MRS. L. c. BEST.
