Making the nest Of II.

An amusing, though not particularly
moral, story ia told Of a Russian gentleman
who accidentally discovered that his wife
was on the eve Of eloping with a certain
gentleman. He Immediately sought out
the gentleman. any dear Blank, said he
understand that you are going to be
good enough to escort my wifa over the
frontier. have therefore come to thank
you IN person for the greatest service which
any man has ever done me. Only as
have some regard for my family name,
must beg that when you are tired Of her, a.
must soon be the case, you will not bring
her back again, or we may disagree. Bon
royags," and he left the room, A gloom
was cast over the excursion by thia speech !;
nevertheless Il wAA perslsted In. ROon nf-
terward, Blank returned to Russia alone.

who said, "what back already told

laughed the husband, sand remember
thai there are AeoFstsin every family which,

Telling the Trnih.


We extract the following from Wash
ington special to the Enquirer. II fully
confirms what has often been said by 9th.
ers:
"Ncal, Of Ohio, says: we are owned
by two or three men here. An Indiana
man says: Southern men are running the
Democratic party just rs they did before
the war;"
This is a very significant admission
Southern men arc running the Democrat
ic party Just as they did before the war"
Before the war Southern men ran the Dem,
ocratic party into the rebellion. Now tho
same men have returned to Congress with
their old whips, which they flourish in the
old-fashioned style, and Northern Demo-
crats-we will not say Northern men
crouch, with their tails between their legs,
at the feet Of their masters, ma they did
prior to 1861. The renson ia plain: An
average Democratic Congressman will snc-
rihce even his manhood for power. The
Southern brigadiers constitute large ma
jority of the Democratic side Of the House
Without that vote the Democrats would
be powerless. Southern States can come
within fifty electoral votes of electing the
next President. The Northern wing
would I've but tail to the Southern kite,
and that kite would not suffer the tail TO
wag it. II n Democratic President should
be elected, his administration would be
controlled by men who sought to destroy
the Union, as the administrations of Polk
Pierce and Buchanan were controlled, and
for a similar purpose, and as the Demo
cratic party in Congress is now controlled
Then Robt. Toombs woud be in his glory
lie would trample under foot the Constitu.
tional amendments, and by bribery and in.
timidation, rule the country from the stand.
point OF, a rebel. The election Of Democrat.
ic President in 1876 would lead to another
civil war. Southern men may control and
run the cowardly Democrats sent to Con.
greaS from Northern States, but they can
not control and run the Northern people
The sooner this fact is clearly understood
the hetter for all concerned. The people
OF this country should be orewarned.-Ctn

Known as the key Tract"
Has been 50 rveye ed and subdivided into SIX.
TEEN LARGE LOTS, averaging about two
acres each.
As will be seen by reference to the Plat
which has been printed and distributed th rough
the town Of Psuysburg and vicinity. tha,
many OF the Lots have wide frnntages
on the Manmee and Western Reserve Stou.
Road, and EAs, Boundary Street. two Of the
main leading Streets Of the TOWN OF PER
RYSBURG. The other Lots LaYe fruntnges
on q newly laid out Street named Ap-
pie Street. This Street 10 so feet In
width, so that in fact all the Lats have god
frontage on wide Streets. and some of them
have double and treble frontages.
The whole Plat Of land shown to be sub
divided into Lots is contaiued in the LARGE
APPLE ORCHARD fronting nn the Sinne Rad
and East Boundary Streets Of the Town Of Per-
rJsburg. The trees Of this large or ,hard " ere

widely known as the Thompson Orchard, con-
aiming over 40 acres of fruit trees. All the
pie trees just arriving at full bearing ar with
and averaging about 80 trees per l. 1.
An'rs favorable opportunity has certainly
never been offered in this locality to persons
wishing to prorure large Lots or blocks Of i'm
proved land for HOMES AND PRIVATE
RESIDENCES. The profits derivaLle from
the fruit trees alone will, in favorable seasons,

tire purchase money. The Lots are also well
adapted for gardening and other purposes, be-
ing situated on high, level ground, with every
facility for good Cellar and underdralnage.
The Railroad Station and the Large Union
Schopl Building, are within a few minutes walk
from the farthest distant Of these Luts, and the
stone Pike Road leads almost directly 10 both
School and Station. Also, the Accom- moIIztion
Trains running between PER- sburg and Tole.
do are available al East Boundary Street at a
shorter distance North Of these Lots.
To those acquainted with the location, no
further mention Of the advania geous position nt
these Lots is necessary but We also desire I,
call the attention of Persons wishing TO inves
small amounts Of money, to this rare opportu.
