WHEN in Toledo, it is not every one
who knows where to obtain refreshment
and attentions, of the very best, at the
least expense. We feel satisfied we are
in possession of that information, and
from over twelve months experience
know :of what we speak. At 129 Sum
NIT street, their is now-since recent
improvementsand additions were made
one of the finest refreshment counters
outside our largest cities, and run by as
competent caterer andscook as need be
sought after-Mr. ARCHIBALD ALLEN.
The room is admirably fitted in every
respect-yOu have about as comprehen-
sive bill of fare as any first-class hotel,
ample attentions and the expense more
reasonable-whether for ready prepared
dishes or dishes provided to order-than
can be found elsewhere in the city.
"Archey" is genial wholesonled and
worthy fellow very popular - and
merits abundant support.

Is Theodore TlltOn a Bad Man .


With oil due respect and Difference
for the learned Cbief-Judge of the City
Court of Brooklyn and the distinguished
counsel on both sides in the trial now
going on there, it seems to us that they
have forgotten what they are about.
We thought the question before them
was whether Henry Ward Beecher had
committed adultery with Elizabeth r.
Tilton. What has Tilton's kissing other
women, or travelling with them, to do
with thatl If they want to try Tilton
for adultery, why not proceed against
him directlyl But let's get through
with the Beecher case first. One thing
at time, gentlemen. Let us have all
the Katy Dds and all the Katy Didn'ts
and see which side preponderates. But
what is the use of mixing up anything
else with it?
Suppose Mr.. Tilton travelled alone, or
travelled in company with woman Of
most ravishing beauty; what has that to
do with Beecher's alleged adultery
Suppose he did or did not dandle the
infantile Miss Susan B. Anthony on his
knee. Does the question of Mr..
Beecher's adultery hinge on Mr.. Til
toms knee and its surmounting9
In one point of view the blow struck
by the defense against Mr.. Tilton may
have an important bearing, but that
bearing is altogether agninst themselves.
Then say Tilton was prohigate man,
and that his wife was unhappy on Ac-
count of his free-love sentiments and
practices.
Very well, then, would she not be all
the mora likely to commit adultery
There is no danger to q woman's fidelity
so great as belief in her husbands in
fidelity. Judges of Courts of Divorce
and men vested in human nature know
this. 1t seems to us that the defense in
all the efforts to show Tilton prohigate
have only strengthened the case--in itE
probabilities against the defendant.
This case should have been tried and
finished in one week. Nine-tenths OF
the testimony is irrelevanl. This is the
common sense view of the whole com
munity, and it is correct. Curtailment
is the demand ON all sides.

We have frequently heard reference
made to our city, and though made in
the presence Of residents, allowed to
pass unrefuted, that our manufacturing
and Wholesale interest was of no mate
rial Importance. Let us simply weigh
the facts carefully, aud when we find
some thirty Of them in existence, how
will stand the verdict We have har-
vester works, engine shop and fOun-
dry, / boiler works, ! agricultural
works, sash factories, l stave factory,
2 furniture manufactures, 2 limekilns,

marble works, brick fields, gas
works, malt extract mandatory, beside
pork packing houses, brewery, candy
factory, wholesale cigar manufacturers,
tobacco merchants, commission and
produce merchants, two banks, &c. This
simply refers to the heavier classes of
business, who have extensive interests
beyond local trade, while in regard to
an excellentIy appointed variety of re-
tail stores we can truthfully claim sew
eral worthy of many larger cities, whose
presumtive boast we have no desire to
envy or reproach, but whose prosperity
on the whole, if brought in fair compOr-

bill, has been invented, and in recon-
mending this gate, we do no not by any
means rely upon our own judgement
alone, but have spontaneous testimonials
from hundreds of the most practical and
influential farmers of the State OF Mich
igan and some counties of this State,
where it has been introduced, who have
given it fair test on their farms, and
cheerfully certify to its perfection and
great superiority over every and all other
gates that had ever been brought to
their notice. 1t is gate that any farmer
can construct in one hour, Tin fact, one
farmer certifes that he made one in
forty-five minutes). 1t has many adj
vantages over all other gates, among
which we may mention it's simplicity and
economy of construction, it is so perfec-
ly balanced that it is impossible for 1t
ever to sag or get out of shape, its opens
both ways, either up hill or down, with
equal ease, can be left open any width
desired and will not blow shut, is SO
light and simple that child can operate
it, and still firm and serviceable, can be
used for dividing small animals from
large ones, and easily opens over snow
or drifts. In fact, after giving it a
thorough and careful examination, we
can see nothing we would have changed,
andifnd in it many new principles never
before thought of.

A REAL ROMANCE.


On the S0th ult., Sylvester Guiberson, g
son of N. W. Guiberson, Of Madison county
Iowa, was married to Miss Minnie Waters
of Excelsior, Mimi, and this is the way il
happened A young gentleman and Miss
Waters were one the lake skating, when
suddenly the ice gave way, and they were
treated to remarkably deep and cold bath
Three big towards stood near them, but
would lend no assistance. MIR. Guiberson
was almost quarter of a mile distant, but
heard their cries of distress, rushed to the
scene, at once comprehended the situation,
and in moment proceeded to rescue the
young lady, who was almost drowned and
frozen, and on arriving at the shore inform
ed the three cowardly whelps that if they
did not go and get her young companion
he would throw each one in after him-an
order they at once obeyed. Mr.. Guiber-
son carried his prize to the nearest house,
where she was properly cared for, and as
soon as she was able he escorted her to her
home. This was enough for the old aunt
of the young lass, and straightway the
courtship begun, which eliminated in their
marriage.

Our CitV Architeot,

1t is with no ordinary degree Of pride
and satisfaction we refer to our city po-
sessing an architect of such exceptional
genins and considerable standing in his
professionally J. G. Johnson-whose
Office is located on seoond floor, corner
Front and Garrison Streets. Few men,
from humble commencement, have
struggled more nobly and persistently
in the past fifteen years, with greater
success. Judging from his unassuming
demeanor and genial manners, the Wis
itor to his Office would little presume
what had eminated from such source,
but go when you will he has always
something new In hand. Among his
past successful efforts may be mentioned
fine court houses in Decatur, Ind, and
Defiance, o.; as also M. E. Church,
Crosby House, keystone block and
many other buildings in the latter place.
The jail in Columbus City, Ind, school
houses at Port Clinton, Elmore and
Findlay, with business blocks at the lat
ter place also owe their artistic design
to his mastery pen. Locally, we may
mention the city hall, Clyde, the bank
at Bellevue, and in our own city the
Odd Fellows block, Ball House Hotel,
the residences of Mr.. Shomo, Mr.. Fab
ing, Mr.. Dillon and many others, includ-
ing a very handsome residence he has
now under way for Mr.. Leppelman.
But the grand masterpiece of his ge-
MUS is found in his successful designing
of an immense structure for State cap
itol in Indiana. When the opportunity
presented itself for plans to beprepared,
some twelve months or so ago, Mr..
johnson settled down to work with q
full determination that he would, at
least, make acreditable attempt. 1t was
only recently his work was completed,
and in due course, forwarded to stand
in fair competition with others. But Of
eighteen designs received, the examin-
ing committee awarded Mr.. Johnson's
thesecond preference, and 80 commended
him in their report to the Legislature.
With only three plans before the house
it is uncertain who may yet get the pref
erence on close examination, and even
yet the chances are highly probable that
the honor may come to Fremont. But
for some time, the subject is not likely
to again come before the house. From
the foregoing it will be seen that we are
rather ahead than behind many larger
cities, in this particular, and with so
many sites around us-the moderate
prices at present asked for real estate in
this section, and viewing the growing
prestige of our city, we believe few
places afford-finer prospects for the
erection of the most charming private
residences possible to find in the State.
We heartily commend Mr.. johnson to
any one desiring designs for any part,
and feel fully assured his natural ability,
promptitude and integrity viii ever and
anon retain for him that fame which has
so conspicuously adorned his past stcareer.

With the foregoing unquestionable
testimony ON 80 important a subject we
can readily believe our readers will have
CLEANED ample to inspire them to give
the matter immediate consideration.
Equally impressed with ourselves, we
are glad TO learn that certain influential
farmers in this district have united in
securing the patent right for Sandusly
and Seneca counties, and purpose is
suing farm or township rights at once to
approving applicants. 1t is claimed,
that excepting the rough timber-abund-
ance of which, suitable for the purpose,
is usually laying about most farms-the
necessary bolts, hinges and other fxings
can be anywhere purchased for an out
lay of only one dollar and seventy-fve
cents. While recommending this gate
to farmers, we also bespealk for it con-
sideration as adaptable to towns and
cities with equal advantages the
least of which is its cheapness and the
ornamental appearance possible to be
given to it with little or no additional
expense. Those desiring further infor-
nation on the subject wishing to sc
cure rights, &C., will be gladly entertain
ed by the following: Mr.. Benjamin
Lewis, Ballville, Mr.. Geo. Beck, Ball
vile, or Mr.. T. Fl. Bush, Fremont.

A Rational Change in the Game La,

A Rational Change in the Game Laws.
There is now before the Ohio Senate
slight amendment to the game laws to
which the sportsmen of the State ask the
attention Of that body. 1t relates to the
shooting of wild geese in the spring.
The old law permitted the killing OF
wild geese and ducks from the list Of
September until the 18th of April, seven
and half months Of the year. There
are two brief seasons in each year dur
ing which wild fowl are found along the
shores Of Lake Erie and in the ponds
and streams of Ohio. One of these is
in the fall, when the birds stop here on
their way from their northern breeding
grounds to their winter refuge in the
South; the other in March and April,
when they rest for few days on their
northward flight. But as every sports.
man knows, the ducks when passing
northward in the spring are poor and
unfit to be eaten. 1t is poor, wanton
sport to kill them at that season, and
accordingly the sportsmen of the State
secured an alteration of the law 80 as tc
prohibit the killing of both ducks and
geese after the 1st of January until the
first of the following September. This
limited the wild fowl shooting to fou1
months in the fall, and so far as the
ducks are concerned, the present is as
nearly perfect as'could be desired. But
with regard to wild geese the case is diff
ferent. In passing southwark during
the autumn very few geese cross the
State of Ohio. Their main flight is
across the States of Indiana, Illinois,
and Iowa, particularly down the valley
Of the Mississippi So completely do
they avoid the waters of Ohio on their
southwark fight that we venture the as
sertion that not dozen geese were
killed lastfall on all the shooting grounds
between Cleveland and Toledo.
In the spring, however, large Aocka
appear along the Ohio river, upon the
streams and reservoirs in the interior Of
the State, and along the bays of the
Lake Erie shore from Vermilion to To
ledo. They have been farther south
than the ducks and return in very good
condition for the table. But under the
present law they cannot be hunted in
the spring, so that in Ohio the shooting
of wild geese is practically prohibited
altogether. There comes from all parts
Of the State, particularly southern Ohio,
strenuous demand for a modification
of the law permitting geese to be killed
until the 18th of April, but leaving the
restriction as regards ducks in its pres
ent form. The amendment has passed
the House and lies on the table of the
Senate. It is to the interest OF the State
at large that the game laws should be
intelligently framed and rigidly en-.
forced. The Senate can best dispose OF
the question by adopting the simple
and very proper amendment as passed
by the House, Leader.

The trial of the action Tilton VS..
II. w. Beecher for the highest Of
fense known to families is in its
sixth week. However it may end,
it is almost certain that the famed
minister ofPlymouth Church, Brook
lyn, has finished his professional ca.
reer. Casting aside all Moulton's
and Tilton's evidence as worthless,
there is documentary testimony
enough to show that if Mr. Beecher
were in any village in Fife, he would
be soused in water butt. We have
not seen Tilton's evidence; we have,
though, read that of Moulton, who
leaves the impression of being sin
gularly clever man. All things are
possible in America, and we should
not wonder that the report of his
bearing in the witness box-and it is
to be remarked that when he blows
his nose he is reported-will cause
him to be run for the Presidency.
We are also bound to add that there
is nothing like Lortuousness in his

cross examination. His attitude is
straightforward, and he does not
bend by sentence. Bad as is the
