Dastardlv Prick

On Thursday night last, as the train
going South OH the /. L. & 1. Ry.,
approached Davis Station an obstruc-
ton was encountered on one of the
rails, which, had the engine been
lighter, might have thrown the loco
motive from the track and possibly the
train, thereby endangering life and
property. As it was the obstruction,
which was a large block of wood,
lodged between the pilot and one of
the wheels occasioning the wheels to
slide. The train was stopped and the
block removed after some trouble.
At different points along the road there
are miscreants who have at times per-
petrated these outrages. Some of these
have been recently caught and bound
over for trial; we trust the rest may
be, for men who can thus wantonIy
trifle with the property of others, and
recklessly endanger the lives of travel
ers, who have never injured them, are
but gangrenous excrescences upon the
body polite, and the sooner they are
placed in the penitentiary the better
it will be for society. Every good man
in the vicinity where these outrages
have occurred should constitute him
self vigilance committee to bring the
cowardly knaves to justice-for only
cowardly knaves would resort to such
means for outrage or revenge.

The Storm

The storm of Wednesday, of last
week, was more general than it seemed
here. AT this place we evidently got
but the edge of the shower. At Bow
ling Green considerable damage was
done by lightning, and Northeast of
here at Arcadia and Fostoria, and on
through to the lake, rain fell in tor
rents, accompanied for a time with
hail stones as large as a hickory nut
and upwards, and considerable damage
was done by the lightning. Between
Arcadia and Fostoria three telegraph
posts were shivered, and some trees
blasted. The railroad was nearly SUBJ
merged with water in places, and the
land for miles along each side the track
of the l.. E. & L. Ry., was submerged
in water. The "oldest inhabItant"
thinks more water fell within the time
than in any previous storm within his
memory.

again divide them. Profitable swarms

disease, in order that they may act
