A CARD.

Ed. JoCRSAL;-In your number Of last
week you published receipt that passed
between myself and C. c. Baird The bu-
siness transaction with Mr.. 3. did not call
for a receipt; but he demanded the same,
a matter of pleasantly as I supposed, and
having pen and paper Immediately be-
fore me, wrote it intending it only as an.
acceptance Of his advances towards carry
ing out joke. 1t is only small portion
Of the sharp shooting" that is always
passing between rival parties in the county
seat contest, and which, with me at least,
has never entered the bounds Of PERSONAL
ity. 1t would have been difficult to make
me believe that Mr.. B. would have solicit
ed its publication, or that an editor would
have received it. / entertain no disrespect
for your town orpeople, and intended none,
and regret exceedingly that evidence to
the contrary should have found a pnhlica-
tiOn in your paper; nor do deny YOU the
right to make fair and legitimate effort
TO obtain the county seat. hope yuu will
he ls prompt TO set me right in this matter
"a YOU have been in this, "a we'll az on two
former occasions, to cast odium upon nv
name. If you will point out the commits
sion or omission that has called upon me
this unkindncss, I will certainly lose no
time in removing the cause.
Respectfully Yours,
H. A. LEASE

The Nereld's New Year Erecting. -
The Hop and Supper given by the Nereid
Boat Club on New Years Eve, was one Of
the best parties ever given IN the burg.
The ladies, as usual, manifested their inter
est in the welfare Of the Club by donating
the supper, and all who partook can testify
to the good taste" exercised in that de-
partmens. The music and prompting was
unusually good and the floor of the new
Hall was waxed and put In excellent trim.
Several Of the spoon oar fraternity, ne we'll
as pencil singers and others from Toledo
were in attendance. At IL M. It was an
nounced that Leap Year had arrived
and the ladies would chouse partners for
the next dance. They exercised the pre-
rogative somewhat timidly, usually taking
the gentleman nearest Mt hand. After de-
ducting the pleasure and expenses Of the
entertainment nearly $50 was added to the
fund for the erection of boat house.
The Club took action at their meeting
on Wednesday evening to duplicate this
entertainment on the 22d Of February
May they have as pleasant time as at the

Space for COrrectiOn.-NNe cheerfully
give space elsewhere to Mr.. II. A. LEASE
to express his views upon the situati IN.
The two former attempts to "cast odium
upon his name" which has been recalled to
mind by the receipt OF his card, were sim
ply repetition of jokes perpetated at
his expense, and ii we remember cor
rectly the first was furnished us bv his
friends at B. G. In the publication Of the
last we were sincere in the opinion that it
was an outburst of pent up feelings, caused
by the late unpleasantness, until the day
following the issue of the paper, when we
rceived an inkling that there had been
some sharp shooting" and that Mr.. LEASE
was the hit bird. Therefore we cheerful
ly accept his version of the matter.

Toledo in 1S75.-The BLide came out
in itS MANN 9TH dimensions on New Years
Eve and contained large amount of sta
tistical information concerning the pro-
gress of Toledo during the year 1875. We
quote from it MS follows:
"The total number of buildings erected
during the year is COG, of which III are
brick and 525 frame; l72 are for business
purposes, and 52I for dwellings The to-
tai cost Of these was SlG29, $50, an average
of S2,327 for each house Besides this
there wis Sl30,00o expended for railroads
in the city, S40l ,253 for additions to and
increase OF manufacturing establishments
and other items swell the total amount to
S2,604,65j. The number of buildings
erected are not as large az that of 1874, but
they are mainly OF very superior class"

councils OF cities, and hinder the legisla-
