The L. S. & M. s. r. r., Co., are ap-
parently willing the public shall know
the officials in charge attheir respective
depots. On Saturday last every one in
the company's employ, from the depot
master down, were supplied with a kind
of metal plate, bearing the inscription of
their official capacity, connected with a
yellow or orange colored ribbon to affix
to the front of their caps, to be invaria-
.bly worn by them when on duty, The
idea is good one, but somewhat lacking
elegance in its present style of applica-
ton.

A BULL IN A CHINA SHOP.
Just how much damage this thick
necked bovine would do were he per
mitted to promiscuously skylark among
the crockery, can only be estimated
from the destruction caused by his his
torical ancestors, when the hospitalities
of that historic shop we're rendered him;
but Texas steer is a very docile animal
in china shop, at least the one that
went uninvited into the establishment of
VIM. Aker's & Co., of this city. This
particular steer, with dozen others,
were being driven down market street,
toward the Camden ferry, saw the re-

in front of the window were not

into the cellar, where he remained per-
fectly quiet until the next morning
when he was taken out. Had the fel-
low roamed much among the piles of
china he might have played smash, but
he didn't, and Mr.. Akers thinks steer

FRozE AT HIS POST.
The Polar Wave which swept across
this city, from Omaha, played havoc
with hydrants the saddest results hap
pening from it was the death of car
driver who "froze stiff, stark and dead, "
while driving car of the Market Street
Line, on Saturday night. On nearing
the depot, the conductor signalled the
driver to stop, and no heed being paid
to it he went to the front of the car,
where he found the driver sitting in his
seat, with the reins in his hands, frozen
to death. The car had about four miles
to go from its Eastern starting point to
the depot, and it is believed that by the
time the car reached Market Street
Bridge, tile driver became too benumed
to rise from his seat, and the prompt
ness with which the horses answered the
gong led the conductor to believe all
was right, until within short distance
of the depot, when the facts became
known.

This is the title of a neat SPACE
monthly, in the interest of the common
schools, which has been issued under
the auspices of the Normal School at
Fostoria. The terms are seventy-fve
cents per year in advance. Among
other reasons why it should be in the
hands of teachers and pupils, the pub
fishers assign the following:
l. 1t is the only School journal in
Ohio which is intended exclusively for
common schools, and consequently adap-
ted to their needs.
q Each number will be filled with
suggestions and methods of teaching,
taken from actual practice, which can be

several common school branches will
be pointed out.
The Spring term of the North Western
Normal School, at Fostoria, will begin

school, and writes as follows:
''Prof. Richard has been in charge OF
the North Western Normal School for
the past six months. He has secured a

as l know, has given more than general
and good satisfaction. l regard him as

Worse Than Too Rad.

We, last week, referred to the unnc-
countable absence of Mr.. Welker, form
erly of this city, but lately in partner
ship with a Mr.. Wenning, in the cigar
trade, at Toledo. We have since
learned that while out on his western
trip, he wrote home for 22,500 Of the
best cigars in stock, and his partner
made every effort, by borrowing money,
to send him large proportion. He
then seems to have sold that stock, to-
gether with his wagon and horses, and
proceeded west, writing back to his
wife, who is left in Toledo, with two
months old child, that he had gone
west for the good of his health, at the
request of his physician, and would
likely be back in nine or twelve months,
during which time she had better stay
at Fremont with his father. who resides
on Croghsn street. 1t further trans

rowed money-leaves him to meet a

He is supposed to have some $4,000 or
$4,000 with him, His wife and child
are daily expected here, and his late
partner, Mr.. Wenning is left almost
penniless, having put all his hard earn
ings into the business. We sympathize
deeply with the father-a respectable
Fremont resident-and hope yet to find
something turn up that may lead to just

Mr.. A. II. BA1sLEY-DEAR SIR =
We have just experienced another severe
storm which began Thursday evening
and lasted till near dusk Friday. The
wind blew a perfect hurricane and the
snow beat through every crevice in sta
bles and houses. 1t must have frozen
all stock that was exposed. 1t was i'm
possible to face it any time. On Satur-
day morning the thermometer stood at
q degrees below zero. The weather is
cold yet wish the people there could
be made to realize the situation of the
people here, and am sure they need no
urging to get them TO donate to their re-
lief. We are very thankful indeed for
what they have done, but we can't eat
clothing. Hoping they will continue
their labor of love, I remain,
Respectfully yours,
