F0ST0RIA LETTER.
FosTORIA, o.. Sept. 6, 1875.


EDS. JEFF If a witness is more trust
worthy for being disinterested, you will
see that the statement | may make,
favorable to the town, may be relied on:
for | have 10 property here, and do not
expect 10 have. Indeed, if had any, |
would certainly sell it, and invest ia
some other locality. Fostoria is too
prosperous; property is too high. IL
must take a powerful inducemcnt 10
lead man to pay thousand dollars for
a quarter acre building lot, when
thousand acres, in better country, can
be had for the same money. The in
duccinent, however, is not hard to dis
cover. Whoever buys here, feels sure
that he can sell again, at an advance.
Undoubtedly, there will he a limit to
speculation, but Just where that limit
will be reached. only the wise can fore
tell
NEw BUILDINGS.
The present season is more active than
any previous one has been. If the com
ing months equal those past, the mum
Der of new buildings will reach nearly
three hundred, including four business
blocks. There will DE six new business
rooms, and several old rooms will br re-
modelled, and greatly improved.
TRADE.
Produce is coming in very lively, and
trade is good-prnbably better than at
any time since the panic. Wheat sales
are reported at four thousand to five
Thousand bushels day.
POLITICS.
While Seneca county, and Loudon
township, are Democratic, FOstoriu is
Republican. There is little said about
about politics, but when the noses arr,
counted, Bishop Purcell will certainly
hear something drop. Ii must not bc
taken for granted, however. that as, goes
the State election, so will go the pr..si
Dental. The Catholic Church will not
set itself up To br kicked ut next year.
and the great Imass Of voter, are not yet
posted "n the ;'il-imppri;rt financial
question. Every body knows something
is wrong, but what is tn ba done 10
bring tllr desired relief, is not yet deter
mingd.
