preparation for the coming season. These two
promising horses, together with General Stark, an
other of Kitzmilers trotters will be put into the

Of dirt which had been piled against their fences
by digging ditch for the city. Referred TO Street
| Commissioner.
Peter Wolf stated that NJ. Reynolds was prepar.
ing to erect stone fence in front of his residence

been made, Agreed to.
Mr.. Cassidy reported the bill Of the Globe light
company (S2l2) correct and recommended pay
ment Agreed to.
Mr. Campbell reported in favor of paying bill of
G. W. Dillon Agreed to-
ORDINANCES
An ordinance to amend an ordinance to pro.
vide for the regulation Ofthe pay Of the City Civil
Engineer, the amendment providing that he be
paid 800 per year and pay hisown assistant out of
that, was read three times under suspension of
the rules and then opened for discussion.
Mr. Campbell wanted to know what work was
expected from a City Civil Engineer for such a
meagre pittance as that, Thought that all the di.
rections for fixing streets, alleys sewers, &C.,
should be given by the City Engineer, and super
intended by him. and he should be paid for 1t. He
favored amending the ordinance and making it
$500.
Mr.. Cassidy thought that the salary of City En-.
gineer should not be permanently fixed at present
as he fought there would be butlittle work ofthat
kind to do the present year.
Mr.. Underhill: When we paid S2,4OO year to
an Engineer we had more bungling work done
than ever before or since. Thought clause
should be inserted to the effect that the engineer
should not be required to give more than one
fourth or onef!th of his time to the city for that
salary, or pay him larger salary and command
all his working time. If compensation was to be
limited, time should also be limited.
Mr., Cobaugh thought it was a matter for the
new council to settle, and moved that the ordi.
nance be laid on the table. Motion seconded.
Ar. Cock, City Engineer, said he had to furnish
his own office, instruments, drafting papers, &C.,
and pay an assistant, which would leave him alb
solutely nothing, Was aware of the present fnan-
cial condition of the city and probably little work
would be projected this year. Yet the City En-.
gneer should have the care of all street and sewer
work and superintend it. Akron pays her en-
gineer 81, 200 salary; Youngstown sl,5Oo steuben-
vile, $1,000; Springfield, $1,000, and Mansfield
5000, and only asks half his time and pays assist
ant also.
The bonds Of the four ward assessors were ap
proved.

A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY

CANAL FULTON, April 7, 1876.
McGREdoR & Son; Seeing in your last issue
OF the DEMOCRAT that the local elections of the
old Molly Stark" resulted gloriously for the gal.
liant Democracy send You herewith the result IN
old Lawrence township, usually Republican by a
good majority Our local paper here gave a pre-.
tended report, but not at all satisfactory indeed
the editor did not give the vote on Justice at all.
and the candidates and votes he did give were not
designated politically, certainly most singular
way of reportag an election result We did not
expect to see growing rooster in the paper, but
we did expect to see the news fairly and fully re-
ported.
1t is proper to say there was no straight Repub-
lican ticket in the field but the leaders here
wanted to capture the Changers and struck hands
with them, thus getting up a mongrel or mixed
ticket Well, the resnlt was neither mixed nor
uncertain, for the full and clean Democratic
ticket was gloriously elected. OF course there
were men, heretofore Republicans who would
not be mongrelized, and hence voted the full
Democratic ticket, II is to be regretted that these
political ricksters were successful in using one or
two of our Democati friends They ought to re-
member the advice in the old u S. spelling book,
my son, fall not in the way of bad men,"
The following is the official vote of Lawrence
township:

and mongrelism and mixing up do not win |
either. Our friends felt so good over our victory |
after so hard and bitter fight that they got few
blasts from Capt, Benglers noble artillery on |
Tuesday afternoon and in the evening Dill's band
discoursed several lively airs at one time, how
ever giving the dead march to help the leaders
of the mixed party of great moral ideas on their

so bad If they had been beaten on the straight
ticket May we all live and learn.

LEAP YEAR AND ONE OLD MAID LESS.

NEAR STUTTERsyILLE, April H. 1876.
Mr.. EDITOR Well, she got him, and wish her
luck Shew rushing into old maidenhood, be-
ing 90 and still single, Leap year was her golden
opportunity, and though living in the country she
got nice beau in town, and she went for him.
Being afraid her friends would call him mooney
looking fellow end about as smart as a cord of
wet oak wood, she concluded to go to town occa.
sionally to help him to do the courtng, seeing
this was leap year. Every week or two during the
last winter she went to town. He would watch the
corners and on seeing her they would pop into
store and court while. Sometimes they would
take little trip on the cars, or buggy ride per-
haps spend a few days visiting some friends
where she would get them to give him little Jobs
of work to pay their way, or it may be she footed
the bills, for, thanks to the old man, she had
money of her own. But she blamed the old man
for putting her to all this counting trouble On the
4th however, she got a team, had ii drove up be-
fore the door, and began carrying out goods and
loading up the wagon. She was not very partcu-
lar at times as to what she toted out and the old
gentleman growled and asked if that was the way
to plunder her fathers house of his goods and
chattels, She finally threw down roll of money,
saying if she was taking more than belonged to
her there was the pay. The old man said he did
not know any one had the right to take the prop
erty Of another without his consent and to fix her
own price thereon, and he did not want and would
not take her money She carried out till satisfied
and then hastened off to her leap year addenda
Well, may they live long and prosper and may
every old maid, till she gets man, have as good
a home with parents as kind No names are nee.
essary, but the incident may benefitsome by being
treasured in the memory and soberly considered.
Folks are generally young and foolish, whatever
their years, till married. After that reflection
comes and brings better sense-or ought to.
