THE DIFFERENCE.

The New Baltimore Enterprise raised q
wall of woe because the Toledo Democrat
has expressed the belief that the interests
Of Wood county will be promoted by re.
movHl. 1t thinks the Democrat has not act
cd honestly and fairly with its subscribers,
because eighty copies of that paper are ta-
ken at Bowling Green. 1t does not pre-
tend that the Democrat made any profess
sions of friendship for Bowling Green, in
the county seat contest, in order 10 secure
those subscribers. 1t was not hampercd
by pledge or a contract. II the Demo-
Graf is censurable for its course, what shall
he said of the Enterprise, which professed
friendship for Perrysburg and pledged its
support in favor of removal, thus securing
nearly eighty subscribers in Perrysburg
and large amount of advertising? Was
not the Democrat honest and the Enterprise
dishonest? Did not the Democrat obtain
its money legitimatcl9 and honestly, ar5
did not the Enterprise obtain its money by
false representations and the violation OF
its plighted faith?

The Bowling Green Engine.

We have already called attention to the
fact that the Bowling Green Railtoad is
merely designed to catch votes, without
the least thought thatit will be permanent.
The following items from the Weston 4 ua-
lunche show how farit is sought to practice
this deception upon the voters of the
county:
We are informed by gentleman of un-
doubted veracity, that Bowling Green has
only rented that new engine from the shops
at PittSburg, until after election, paying
$500 for the use of it. Oh! the tricks Of
Slippery Chawls? What General he
would make, if ho could manipulate men
as we'll as he does falsehoods.
"SHooT THE New BOWLING GREEN
ENeINE! !" Was what one of our 9an,ins
said, when the engine passed through
Weston the other day. We think the
remark very appropriate, when we consid-
er the fact that Bowling Green has only
rented the engine until after election, pay
ing the owners $500 for the use of it for
80 days. This is vouched for by gentle
man whose truth and veracity are unim-
peachnble, and furthermore, Il is not nep
engine at all! Is this another effort of Slip
perry Charley's genius?

TIE COUNTY FAIR.

The Annual Fair OF the Wood County
Agricultural Society opened at Tontogany
on Tuesday and will close to-day. The
people Of Bowling Green professcd a pur
pose to actively participate in this exhi-
bition, but instead of doing so, they secret
ly made every possible effort to cripple
and disparagc it. Notwithstanding this
unex pected opposition, the Fair has been
decided succcss. The entries have been,
in the aggregate, 9i6; up to last evening
the sale of membership tickets reached
767; Gate tickets sold about 1000.
The show of vegetables and fruits was
particularly good, and IN most of the de-
partments the exhibition was fully up to
the average. Much credit is due to the
officers of the society for this success.
We have no space for details this week,
but must refer briefly to few noticeable
features OF the exhibition. One of the
most remarkable specimens of Black
Swamp production, was squash exhibited
by Mr., MORGAN Brown, Of Washington
township. 1t weighs POS pounds, grew on
vine which measured l5a inches in cir
cumference and was 1918 feet in length.
On the same vine grew two otf er squashes
nearly as large as the one spoken of, be-
sides an innumerable host of smaller ones.
Mr.. BRowN exhibited ca varieties Of veg
stables. Last year he did not make an
exhibition in the Wood County Fair, but
took his display Of vegetables down to the
Northern Ohio Fair at Cleveland, and car
ried away fourteen OF their best premiums.
Capt. Mo'CoLLEY also exhibited about
an equal assortment Of fine species of veg
etabls growth and varieties Of the most
approved kinds. In his collection VIC no
tieed beet that weighed 28 10, radish,
LIT N, and bushel Of Brownell's Beauty,
new variety Of potatoes lately introduced
in Wood county by Mr.. McCoLLEY. These
were smooth potatoes and numbers Of them
averaged over 2 ID each.
In fruits, Mr.. JAMES DUEtPAcE and
others had large displays, while many
others exhibited rare varieties aud
exceedingly creditAble specimens, indica.
ting degree OF intelligent farming highly
creditable to the county.
We should like TO speak more in detail
but for the present il il not possible. Suf-
hce II 70 say, that the Fair for 1873 was
highly ereditable TO the people Of Wood
county,

More Proof OF Peters Bad Faith.

If further proof is necessary to convince
the most skeptic with regard to the bad
faith of PETERS with Perrysburg, we
might introduce the following paragraph
from the Fostoria Herald of which Mr..
WIsEMAN, PETERS former partner, is edi-
tor:
The editor of the New Baltimore Enter
prise has given several lengthy articles I'M
der the head sold out to Perrysburg." Mr..
Peters, do you remember when you asked lis
If We would go to Perrysburg and find out
how much We could get out of them and
that you would go to Bowling Green
and see what you could do there? Now
after We had been to PerrySburg and dealt
squarely with the people of that place, in
securing subscriptions, &C., and afterwards
diSposing of our interest in the office, then
you come to the conclusion that YOU have
all the money you can get out Of Perrys-
burg, and not being blessed with the nee
essnry amount of brains had to secure the
services of Toledo gentleman to assist
you in overshadowing your gilt.

THOSE DEEDS.

There are persons laboring in the inter
est of Bowling Green who persist in in
sulting good sense by representing that
Perrysburg township and village could not
decd the Court House and Jail to the
county. If any person will look at the
Enabling Act, they will see that il dis
tinctly authorizes and requires that very
thing to be done. In making those deeds,
PerrySburg simply complied with the pro-
visions of the law. Those who represent
that no authority exists for the act, either
presume largely upon the ignorance of
those to whom they are talking, or they
are themselves exceedingly stupid.

CONTEMPTIRLE.

Because Judge fuLLfR favors the re-
moval Of the county seat from Bowling
Green to Perrysburg, the Bowling Green
papers make personal illusions to him
which can only be characterized as black
guardism. Judge FULLER is too well
known in Wood county to be injured by
anything those papers may say about him,
and we only refer TO this additional owl
dence Of the base spirit of the Bowling
Green managers, that the people Of the
county may properly estimate the con-
duct Of those who are asking the tax-pay-
ers to sacrifice convenience and interest in
their behalf

The Authors Of tho "SpellTng Mnnia." /"


And now it is said that the publishers OF
Webster's Dictionaries are responsible for
the recent Spelling Bee" excitement.
Whether this is true or not, the spelling
mania was good thing and it undoubted-
ly had a very excellent influence. OF all
educatianal accomplishments, proper
knowledge of the photography Of onr own
language is certainly the most desirable,
and of all the deficiencies in our education
al methods, that relating TO this study is
the most marked. And we were therefore
going to say, that whether the spelling ex-
citement came about through the adver-
tising efforts of the Webster publishers OF
not, one thing is quite clear, and that is
that there is nothing that has helped to
stimulate the wide spread interest in the
subject, or that is so nearly q Spoilers

MORE TMPORTED VOTERS.

On Monday, on the cars going South,
between this place and Toledo, a man was
heard to urge a stranger to stop off at
Bowling Green until after election, prom
ising him good wages. The man said he
would not be voter, as the law required
him to be in the county 30 days, and to
swear that he intended to permanently re-
side in the county. lie was told that he
could vote out there without regard to the
question Of residonco-that no questions
would be asked. We also learn thnt the
agents of Bowling Green are constantly
running men into that village and vicini-
ty, for the purpose of voting them," as
they term it, at the coming election. How
much of that kind of voting will the peo-
pie Of the county stand? We shall she.

The Bowling Green Sentinel thinks, or
wishes its readers to think, that the Com
merciaI is aiding Perrysburg in the Wood
county scNt'question, and is candid enough
to attribute such action to money. And
all this on account of our report of the
Perrysburg demonstration last week.
That report was made as a matter of news,
just MS like report would be made for
Bowling Green, should occasion therefor
occur. In its preparation much care was
taken to avoid any bias, while giving a
fair and just statement. The Sentinel may
think it is helping it's cause by its extra
ordinary zeal in thus representing this pa
per; but. if so, it is much mistaken. As
to its threats, they are impotent and silly,
but by no means Toledo Commercial.

The Bowling Green papers charge
that the Toledo Commercial has been bought
up in the interest of removal, because 1t
reported what transpired at the meeting in
this place when the Court House and Jail
were formally transferred to the county.
This only serves to show the weakness and
consequent sensitiveness of the Bowling
Green journals. They seem unable to dis
tinguish between the publication OF news
and the prejudice Of partisan zeal.
Captain BLACK, Of TontogOny, has a
right to favor Bowling Green in all legiti-
mate ways, but We have been informed
that he goes little beyond that point at
times-that he uses the postofice in a
manner not entirely consistent with his
duties as postmaster, in order to forward
the interests Of Bowling Green. We hope
our information is not correct, and with
hold the charges for the present. A pub
lie officer must not permit his'prejudices to
influence his official conduct. II he can
not drop the one, he should al. least be per-
aunded to drop the other.

HENRY TOWNSHIP.

Last spring there were but 2S2 male cit
izens over 81 years old, voters and
all, in Henry township. The Bowl

they can cast 400 votes in that township
atrhe coming election. We are credibly
informed that they expect to vote a
large number Of transient residents in that
township. We hope there are citizens in
Henry township who will see that the bal
lot-box is protected against this class OF
voters. 1t will not be safe to permit the
control OF our elections in that way.
