The Opening Might.

Monday night last was one that will
be long remembered by the amuse-
ment loving people of Findlay. 1t was
the occasion of the opening of Davis
Opera Hall, and the house was one
that must have pleased the manage
ment of the excellent troupa nov par
forming in our midst-tbe L-land>
The play was ''Fanchon, the Cricket, >
and was as we'll rendered as could be
desired by the most critical amusement
seeker. The acting of Miss Leland
was without a fault. The transitions
from the hoydenish girl to the prude
maiden, from tine bold 'bad girl" to
the sensitive and inpressionable, yet
noble-souIed lady, were SO rapid at
times that they seemed unnatural, save
as you could keep in memory the fact
that her childhood had been uncul.
tured, that she had been as it were a
young Ishmael among her companions.
The scene in the last act with father
Barbeau was exquisite. She was well
supported throughout by the entire
company, whom we have had occasion
heretofore to commend as the best
travelling company we have had the
pleasure to see. Go and see them.

Almost a Fire.

On Saturday night of the 25th, little
accident happened at the residence Of
H. B. Thomas, in Biglick township
The circumstances, as near as we can
learn, are as follows:
d. Thomas was shaving, between nine
and ten o'clock, and had an oil lamp sit
ting beside him and some way knocked
it off the table breaking the lamp, and the
oil ran over the floor; the gas that arose
was so great that he nearly tainted

be another reminder to all that coal oil
should be handled carefully.

The 47th. Anniversary of the Hancock

The 47th. Anniversary of the Hancock
County Bible Society.
The Annual Meeting of the Hancock
County Bible Society was held at the
Congregational Church, last Sabbath
evening. The meeting was called to
order by Vice President Rev. g. w.
Miller, of the English Lutheran Church
in the absence of Mr.. Gray, the Presi
dent. The services were opened by q
voluntary by the Choir-after which
the reading of portion of scriptures,

Prayer by Rev. Pope of the N. E.
Church. Singing by the choir, ''All
Hail the Power Of Jesus name"
The chair then gave brief history of
the manner of the workings of tine can
vass to raise funds, by special paid
agent, which was in a manner fail
ure, the expenses in some cases almost
taking the amount received as dona-
tioDs for the Bible Society, to pay the
wages of said agent. This last year
the county was organized in part by
townships, and the same canvassed by
voluntary help, by the ladies of tbc
townships. who were regularly organ
Eedinto Committees in seven different
townships, and these ladies went forth
to canvass, the resul. being far more
than~ expected, inasmuch as it was
somewhat of an experiment. Although
the townships werenot fully organic
ed yet as far as the work has gone it
it has been a success as to the contrib
utions and comparatively but little
expense has been connected Herewith.
It was recommended that the off,
GERS Of the society complete the or
ganization during the coming year, and
then canvass the whole ofthis county
in the same way.
The report of the Treasure was read
by the Secretary, and shows that the
years canvass has been managed with
care and that great gain to the Society
has attended the present sysetm of
canvass.

dent,Secretary, Treasurer and Auditor.
After the withdrawal of the above
committee, Rev. r. r. Sutherland. of
the Presbyterian church, was intro
duced who made the anniversary ad-
dress, which was good Throughout. and
showed thought and care in its pro-
duction as welLas in its delivery. Ii
was listened to with marked attention.
Rev. s. gave some very interesting
statistics of the progress of the
printing of the Bible 10 the early his
tory of the American Bible Society.
and how the great work that has been
accomplished in publishing in so many
different languages and dialect, and
the comparative small expense of the
same how, SO that almost every person
wanting Bible could buy it at small
cost, and If not able Bible was fur
nished without money and without
price. No book in all the world has
had such opposition hnrled at its light
and truth by all the combined host of
the Pope, wicked men and satan. as
the Bible, and yet it is now published
and spread far and wide at compara-
lively very little cost. 1t is maryous-
lous mine of Wonders. Oh, that more
would purchase it and that those that
have it would read it more and obey
its precious mandates.
After listening to the able address
of Rev. s. the chair called for tine re-
report of committee on nominations
who made a report as follows:
President-Milton Gray.
