Splendid Showing of Carriages, Open
and Top Buggies, &c

While proceeding up State street, last
week, we casually dropped in upon our
esteemed friend, Mr., Ambrose Ochs,
than whom probably few men are more
competent, reliable and constantly pre-
pared to meet the requirements of his
patrons. The neighboring farming COM
munity equally with our citizens, have
had many years to decide on the merits
of the work Mr.. o. is accustomed to
turn out of his very fine factory, and the
growing importance of his extensive
business bears a fattering testimony TO
its popularity, AS usual, We found his
employees diligently at work alike upon
old work as upon new-the former be-
ing chiefly repairs and that of preparing
some good secondhand conveyanees,
while the new work was in the interest
OF his approaching spring show. on en-
tering his spacious and neatly kept show
room-which has but few equals in this
section-we were at once impressed how
industiously he must have been apply
ing his best efforts to secure a goodly
showing of various makes. We were
particularly struck with some beautiful
ly finished carriages and phaetons, as
also the numerous styles of buggies-
coal box, piano bodies, sc. The "eure-
ka" slide seat carriages are remarkably
attractive and can be converted into al
most any shape desired in fewmoments.
In fact the show room is rapidly filling,
and this season affords rich treat. In
the way Of light and heavy wagons.
drays, &c, Mr.. Ochs is also constantly
prepared to meet the requirements OF
his patrons. His present stock is well
worthy of attention-presenting some
genuine bargains. Mr.. Ochs is q capi-
tai man to do business with-frank, free
andsTictly honest in his dealings hence

proverbially excellent character he bears

and citizens Examine his stock.

Matches to come to- an End.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Daily News has been shown an ap-
paratus which will probably sweep away
the match trade. 1t is called the cleo
trical tinder-box, and is small enough to
be carried in a cigar-case. Opening
this box, you see platinum wire
stretched across. Touching a spring
the wire reddens sufficiently to light a
cigar. At will you can introduce into a
tiny sconce a mesh of cotton stepped in
spirits of wine and petroleum, which,
taking fire, does service as nurses
lamp. The hidden agency which heats
the wire is very small battery, set in
action by the touching of the spring.
The trade price of the electrical tinder-
box" will be half franc, or fivepence.
It's inventor promises that it will be an
economical substitute for the lucifer
match.

TX. Seaman, Esn.. Toledo.

In commercial circles, happy indeed
are they whose privilege it is toleast re-
quire the intercession of Justice. Yet,
when per force of circumstances, the
good offices of such a functionary are in
dispensible, 1t Is extremely pleasant to
find ones self confronted by no mere up
start or egotistic usurper of those noble
attributes constituting a man and gen
tleman, but even such an one as onr es-
teemed and venerated friend, l. X. SEA
MAN-who though customsrily free and
easy, (supposed by some, )is nevertheless
popular. Seaman is a name notoriously
genuine in Sandusky county, and none
the less highly esteemed in Lucas, which
latter county did well last spring in elect
ing the subject of our remarks to office.
Apart from any peculiar idiosyncrasy,
and a natural whole-souled geniality of
character, Justice Seaman isno novice in
law or etiquette, and rarely fails to solve
themoSt difficult legal problems with the
utmost squareness andimpartiality. Asa
real estate broker and general collecting
agent, he is equally a success. Those in
the country, having city interests to care
for cannot better repose their confidence
than in our old friend, l. X. SEAMAN,
whose integrity, financial standing and
business capacity, viii be found equal Co
any emergency. His office is in Ander-
sons block, Summit street, and when
once you make his acquaintance, you
have, indeed, an honorable, frank and
genial friend in whom to reposo the most
implicit confidence.

Something Entirely New.

Farmers, traders and citizens gener-
Ially-have you yet had your curiosity
sufficiently excited to inspect the mar
velous "BoswELL's STANDARD RooM
HEATER" now on view in Buckland's
new block, (over the Mayors ofice) cor
ner of Front and State streets2 We have
closely inspected it and have no hesi-
fancy in pronouncing it just the econo-
misers, comforter and blessing which
should adorn every household. The
two first great principles of this modern
invention are that it heats the atmos-
phere with DETECTED heat, thereby
keeping it pure, and by circulation inn
parts a more even and healthful temper
ament than by radiation. AS piece Of
furniture it is exceedingly neat, and be-
coming any household-as room heater
it is perfection-and as a fruit dryer it
has taken the first premium for best
dried fruit at every exhibition. In fact,
so superior is the fruit dried by it, when
placed in competition, that it is now
known as concentrated, or solidified
fruit" and far exceeds even canned
fruit. As clothes dryer and iron heat
er it is hailed with delight by ladies as
the greatest invention of the age, saving
time, fuel, labor and exposure. 1t is
fully endorsed by the State Horticultu-
raj & Agricultural Societies, and uni
versally merits but one common remark
cit exactly meets the wants of the
people and is worthy of every family"
Since Mr.. Boswell has been incur city
now some three weeks-hundreds have
been to see this modern wonder-gazed
with astonishment and admiration to
witness its efficiency-and have retired
both well pleased and instructed. Mr..
Cushman, general agent is also in at
tendance, and in the presence Of numer-
GUS gatherings of ladies has performed
several feats of cooking that won great
praises. In fact ladies have, by APP
pointment, met together and themselves
baked, boiled and roasted with 1.-THE
results perfectly astonishing them. Mr..
Cushman has constantly a supply of
cooking utensils on hand, and takes it
great favor if parties will only bring
with them ingredients and cook to their
own satisfaction. Apart from the family
heater, adopted to cooking, there are
also two very fine and attractive room
heaters EXCLUSIVELY heated by DETECTED
heat, and in their construction quite
new. No one can fail to be pleased with
them. They are not more expensive
than ordinary stoves, but in attractive
ness, as piece of furniture, are far more
becoming. We would particularly i'm
press upon our readers that these heaters
are by no means untried, already several
hundreds of them being in use through
out this and adjoining States. They
need only to be seen TO be approved,
and those who do not secure the oppor-
tunity, while they are yet on view, will
have, hereafter much to regrets BoRH

PROSPERITY OF AN ENTERPRIs.
ING FIRM.
What Schwartz Bro, have dOne---are
doing and propose doing.


The energetic firm above referred to
both practical mechanics Of no ordinary
ability-have more than succeeded, (as
we prognostigated they would with their
growing furniture, upholstery and I'M
dertaking business on State street, two
doors from Justice street. From their
outset, we were impressed the boys had
all the requisite vim and perseverance
necessary to carry them through, and
during the past twelve months they
have, by courtesy, punctuality, and in-
tegrity, established trade of which they
have need to be proud. Those desiring
furniture ofany description-ready made
or made to order, will find this firm
meet their every wish, at prices that will
bear favorable comparion with the cheap
est houses inside or even outside our
city. They have parlor and bedroom
sets not easy to be beaten; sofas, lounges
and easy chairs in the most attractive
upholstery, with a general assortment of
beds, mattresses, chairs and plain and
ornamental tables that defy competition
in material, make or prices. Since their
first opening the increase of their trade
has necessitated them to run two work
shops, and we understand that the com
ing spring they propose erecting a two
story show room and finishing room,
some 40 feet long behind their store.
We have seen some exceedingly fine
home manufactured Office fixtures and
furniture they have turned out for our
citizens, and would simply remark that
they inspired us with the impression
that those whoever might seek to obtain
better work outside of Fremont were
not only guilty of injustice to home
talent, but the probabilities were they
would live to learn how it was to ego
farther and fare worse" Another inn
portant branch of their business, in
which they are doing live trade, is
that of picture frame manufacture, and
we must say their stock of mouldings is
not only extensive and diversified, but
consists of the newest designs. In the
undertaking business they have been
favored with general patronage, and
have already turned out some very
handsome caskets and coffins, while
their magnificent hearse has been much
sought after. They keep fine line of
everything pertaining to the undertaking
business-are exceedingly moderate in
their demands, and withal prompt in at
tention. Call upon them whenever you
may, they areon hand, ready and anxious
to give you abundant satisfaction. They
certainly merit large share of patronage
and in twelve months hence we shall be
still more gratifed to again congratulate
them on an increased andstill increasing
business.

Meeping Over the Tomb Of CLAW.

When ALI. Burnett was in the bright
Lexington of Kentucky the other day il
passing on the back streets he observed
a white haired old man standing with
head uncovered on pair of hay-scales.
Alf. was curious to know what allied the
old man. So he said, "What's the mat
ter, uncle2"
'Hush, said the old man, with an
admonitory wave of the hand, ''tread
lily. This is er grave of er greatest
man in er [hiol whole world"

"But whose grave is it2"
"I'sthe grave of old [hicl Hen'y Clay.
Alasl he's gone, gomez"
ALI. left him leaning across the wooden
box that contains the weighing apparatus
weeping bitterly, as he supposed, over
the tomb of Clay.

hope Of learning something from their
rapid motions. We were also here
shown quite novel and ingenius kind

only one ever brought to this city. Al
together, the establishment is admirably
laid out-each department being ar
ranged with the utmost regard to facili-
tate in attendance ON customers. The
high commercial standing and proverbi-
al popularity of this excellent and es-
tablished house has long earned for it
unlimited confidence and patronage in
the wholesale department as well as in
the way of retail sales-the fact of their
exceedingly heavy purchases enabling
them to assume distinguishable prom
inence in the combination of quality
and price such as is rarely to be met
with. 1t must not be overlooked that
this is the only exclusive carpet ware

THE OLIVER CHILLED PLOw.
Important Facts for the Consideration
Of Farmers---the Best PlOw in the
Field.

In a strictly agricultural district like
ours - and particularly an extensive
grain growing county-what is there
that can gladden. the farmer more than
to secure 'boss" plow-a perfect sue
cess, in every respect, and at the same
time within the limits of fair, square,
Legitimate price9 This we venture to
claim-and believe ourselves justified in
so doing = is the privilege of the noted
OLIVER PATENT CHILLED PIow."
Since its first introduction in the mar
ket, only some few years ago, this plow
has more than quadrupled and nearly
double quadrupled, its sales-a striking
and tangible evidence of the universal
satisfaction it has given to farmers. In
fact, the introduction of this pillow has
marked a new era in the pillow trade. To
look upon, it is exceedingly neat, at
tractve and beautifully modelled. The
metal used in the moulds and landsides
is the only material in use adapted to all
kinds OF soil. 1t is the hardest, most
dense, and fine grained metal ever used
for the purpose, and admits of the very
highest degree of polish we ever wit
messed impaired to any agricultural inn
phment yet submitted to the public. 1t

upon the surface, and IT WILL sCoUR--
indeed, it is claimed to scour where, steel
will not. In point of draught it is also
said that the ''Oliver Chilled plot w."
with the same power will do as mk1cIIl
work in three days, as can be performed
with any other in four days-a saving
of five days out of every twenty. We
could elaborate to the extent of over
column upon its many advantages but
prefer to satisfy ourselves with simply
throwing out hirts sufficient to prove 90
our farming friends that it will amply
repay them to give this pillow close in
spection.
NHssRs. THOMPSON & co. 'FRONT.' ST.,
have already taken orders for over 200
to be supplied thisseaso and being the
only agents in this city for tois popular
plow, our readears should give them a
call at their hardware stores opposite the
First National Bank. Another evidence
of the superiority of this plow, IN OUR
DISTRICT, is found in the fact that this
is only the second year it has been sold
here, and after one years fair trial ord
ers are coming in far them two-fold, as
compared with last year-showing they
have not only been approved but recon-
mended.

From the Columbus Sunday News.
On Thursday evening, William, the
Governor, while sitting at ten at his
boarding place, the Irving House, pc
rused the Dispatch, being greatly inter.
ested in the telegraphic announcements
of the doings of the Forty-third Con
gress Just deceased. After finishing his
evening repast, and having carefully
scrutinized the columns of the paper, in
search OF something he couldn't find, he
majestically rose, and with hasty strides
made for the dining-room door, and
once without the room, he approached
a small gathering of the boys around
the stove in the hall, and with flashing
eyes addressed them as follows:
"Where's these id newspaper
men. Congress has adjourned, and /
want to know what has become of that
Force bill, and by God the paper don't
say word about it. have looked all
through that evening paper with my
specs on, and I'll be Cd id if I
can find q thing in reference to it,
There is an account of the adjournment
of Congress, but nothing about that bill
The Declaration of Independence was
never of more importance than that bill,
and by Cd can't find out what's been
done with it. 1t beats h--ll that the
papers will publish forty-three columns
about that Cd d-n Beecher and

hastily to his apartments, and we sup
pose Captain Putnam was summoned
forthwith to tell why that Force bill
was not disposed Of.

The misty cloud-veil disappears,
From the mountain hight,
The sun awakes and bathes the enrth
In golden light.
The silver dew hath strung his pearls
For laurel rose;
And orange blooms, where still and sweet
The river flows.
The Oarpintero hammers loud
The hard nancy,
And hidden in the mango leaves
His tender lay
The Tarpial sings, while humming bees,
Make melodies
In sweet pineapple flowers; and gay
In golden guise
The butterflies
Thro' coffee bushes wing their way.

Sweden is initiating Prussia in the en-
forcement of military service. Her new
army scheme is based on the German
model. Military service is to be made
obligatory on all male members of the
community between the ages of eighteen
and forty. Young men must enter the
army not later than their twenty-frst
year to undergo training of ten and q
half months. During the succeeding
six months they belong to the reserve.
They are next relegated for like period
to the Landwehr, and are afterward,
until the completion of their fortieth
year, Incorporated in the Landsturm.
