MANTUA STATION.

Correslo fence .-
A look through the mill of Messrs
Frost & Kimes, conyinces us that they
intend 10 make it the model Touring
mill Of this section. The gearing bur
stones, etc, are all new, aud the other
fixtures are being put i'll regardless of
expense, in the very best style, and
with due regard for efficiency and con-
venience. 1t will be ready tor opera
ton some time during the coming
season. Unlike the proposed council
to inquire into the moral status Of
Henry Ward Beecher, there will be no
s'hodge-podge" about it when COM
pleted,
Mr.. Thos. s.. Webb, with whom Mr.
VIM. NJ. Folger of this place is associ-
ated in the hotel business at Philadel-
phia, has leased two houses and fitted
them up for the accommoda ION of
visitors during the Centennial. Tie
"Smedley House is located on Filbe, t
street, No. 1927, betweeiA 12th ana 18Th
half a square south of a rchl street, and
the .sUnion" No. 1911, between 18th
and Broad sta. 1t is at tie latter that
Mr.. Folger may be found. Ample ia
cilities will be afforded for reaching
and returning from the Centennial
grounds. We regret to notice that the
circular received, ignores an important
place like Mantua Station, and gives
Akron. O., as the residence of our
venerable friend.
Mr.. S. S. Russell, who has been sick
nearly all winter, is still an invalid,
though slowly improving. We have
missed the stately form and pleasant
ways of our genial friend, and trust
he may soon be out again.
Mi. John Kelley is said to be failing
rapidly. and it is thought the end can
not be far of. His case is one of q
peculiarly painful nature. For some
time he has had an affection of the
right leg, and had submitted his cass
to competent medical men, at home
and abroad, who agreed perfectly as
to the nature Of the disease (osfeo sa1'-
coma) and the proper remedy, ampu-
tation. From desire 10 save the
limb, other treatment has been resort
ed to. subjecting him to great expense
and almost untold misery and suffer-
ing. The results hoped for, and prom
ised, have not been attained, and truly
the latter condition of the unfortunate e
man is worse than the first. The sim
cere sympathy of the community is
with him and his devoted wife, in
this, their time of trial.
