EDITOR JOURNAL THINKING perhaps
n little news from this "neck Of the woods"
might be of interest to some of the readers
of the JOURNAL have gathered the fol-
lowing items for their benefit.
Our farmers are not rs busy aS they are
want to beat this season of the year. Owing
to this continued wet weather, the wheat
bids fair to be failure. Some pieces alonp
the river look quite promising, but as a
general thing 1t is locking bad.
PROPOSED BRIDGE.
A bridge to be built across the Maumce
River at Watervillc. Lucas county, Ohio,
is now asitating the minds of the far
mers and others in this vicinity. A petition
is in circulation, and from the number Of
names of prominent men in this township
alone, bids fair to make the proposition
reality. There are seventy naulcs on tho
petition to-day. The principal mover in
the enterprise in tins township is A. NJ.
Robertson, Esq Mr.. II. seems deeply inter-
ested in the matter, which is sufficient
guarantee that others will become so. In
