Too Bad.-That traditional" farmer
has been fooled again by Perrysburg. lie
came from near Bowling Green this time
with 81 bushels of potatoes, for which he
asked 81 per bushel, while our dealers were
retailing at 81 so. The poor man was
compelled to take them to Toledo and sell
them for 81, that being the price there.
Will the Ne,rs please give him rest.

Impending Ruln.-Mr. s. BALDWIN,
OF Weston, has the reputation of keeping a
irst-class hotel. Mercantile travellers are
peculiarally quick to discover fact Of
that character and they make il point to
stop with Mr.. BALDWIN whenever they
can. Mr.. B. always keeps a livery stable
and these agents have been in the habit of
getting "rigs" from him to visit Grand
Rlpids, Portage and Bowling Green.
When these gentlemen reach B. @. they
are informed, by the merchants there, that
unless they patronize the B. q. Railroad
they, the merchants, will buy no more
goods from them.
Bowling Green is certainly poreS in
the land and We are prepared to learn Of
the failure of several Wholesale houses at
Toledo and elsewhere, by reason Of the
withdrawal of Bowling Green trade. Bad
for the wholesalers, surely. Hope they
may survive, but it is doubtful. To con-
ciliatc such important customers and to save
themselves from ruin they may direct their
agents to travel over the road and have a
SNAKE head" run through them, whether
they desire it or not.

find the following complimentary allusion
made of Mr.. A. F. KERcBIvAL, former
resident of Perrysburg and brother-in-law
of Mr.. F. E. HoLLENBEcK
The appointment Of Mr.. A. F. Kerchi-
val, by the Fourth Of July Literary Com
mittee, as Poet Of the Day, reflects credit
upon that Committee. We shall look for
something very superior from his pen. He
has written by far the best poetry yet pro-
duced on the Pacific Coast, 1--WE do not ex-
cept Pollock,) and his tribute TO Shake
speare, his ode to the Sun and his poem
"Oblivion" are productions which Byron
would have been glad to have baptized
with his imprlmatur.

"It Won't Win."-The article in the
NeUs under the above heading is tissue Of
fIlsehoods from end to end-there is not q
truth in it and the purpose Of uttering
these falsehoods is to hide their own Shiny
tracks.
We will state fact. Soon after the
movement to obtain the Enabling Act was
inaugurated, some parties from q. 9. call
ed on man, not living east of that place,
and assured him they would secure for him
the Office of Auditor II he would abandon
Perrysburg and espouse their cause AL.
though he had long professed Jealous
friendship for PeIrysburg, he at once snap
ped at the bait like trout at fly; is still
swapping but does not get the promised
pay. We believe they did not intend to
pay and suspect he may never receive 1t.
He simply suffered himself to be fooled
and to be placed in false position during
years to come.

The MUsEUM.-Certainly no one with any
show of reason could, unless an advocate and
admirer of rant, accuse Miss Waldron of lack
of animation in sher rendition of "Armande
Chandoce" last evening. From the rising of
the curtain to its going down she fully sus-
tanned the requirements of her arduous role and
admirably acquitted herself in the difficult
part she had to play. The Characterization
was finished, artistic and vivid. While suffi-
GENTLY imprisoned it was marred by no ex-
travagance, had about it no blemish of stagi-
ness In word, gesture and facial expression
she was nothing deficient. Her rendition of
Armande was certainly the best ever given in
Portland, and deserving of cordial and hearty
recognition. Its great charm is its natural
ness. Indeed the merit of Miss Waldron's act
ing is ia just this respect She carefully
avoids all approach to rant, and delights to de-
hneate her characters by succession ofiine
touches rather than by broad and exaggerative
strokes. This has sometimes led, uDjustly we
think, to an accusation OF want of animation.
But most will recognize in her acting con-
scientious attempt at the method of the new
school of mature" which is fast driving out
have failed in some of her studies, but her
"Armande Chandoce'' was certainly success.
In justice to.the criticisms passed upon her it
should be said that her rendition was mark
ed improvement over that Egiven the previous
night.
The improvement in acting was not confined
to Miss Waldron. All did better Miss STRAIT
ton threw into the part of "Mathilde" vivaci-
ty before wanting, and gave finished and
rounded impersonation worthy of hign praise.
Mr.. Norris De Lesparre is an excellent piece
of acting, free from the melodramic, pictur-
esque and effective, and certainly the best
thing he has yet done. Mr.. Curtis made
laudable and in the main successful attempt to
correct his faults of the evening previous, and
succeeded in approaching much more nearly to
our conception of the good-natured, honest
hearted "Hector" Mr.. Bascomb's "Baron" is
a commendable bit of acting, the character be-
ing admirably suited to his peculiarities.
1t is with pleasure we announce that lied
Astray" will be repeated this evening. This
last opportunity to see it should not be suffered
to pass unimproved.
