The boys behaved themselves admira-
bly, on Wednesday night-IIallow Fen
with the exception of the vu'garity and
noise Of one drunken squad, for which
none others should receive blame. We
have heard Of no damage being done in
any part of town. We have heard of one

We are requested to announce that the

Mr.. JAS. NJ. OsBoRN, editor of the
Fremont Messenger, is one of the latest vic
Tins to coal oil lamp accident While
seated with his family in the parlor on
Friday evening last, the hook by which
the lamp was suspended from the ceiling
came out and the lamp. was crushed to
atoms.s The oil ignited, when Mr. O. has
tened to bed room and got an armful of
he'd clothing with which to smother the
flames. In kneeling a piece OF the broken
| glass penetrated the Knee cap, which has
endangered the use OF the limb and has
since confined him to his bed.
As the midnight express passenger
train north, on the Dayton & Michigan
railroad, was approaching Peterson Station
Thursday night. the engineer saw an OBJ
struction on the track. He discovered it
in time to slacken his speed and prevent
his train going into the ditch. An old rail
had been so placed as to throw the engine
from the track and wreck the train. Who
the villains were, we were unable to learn,
but the supposition is they were tramps,
who did the work out Of pure deviishness
or with the intent to rob the passcngers.-

Another SWindle.-Now it is fence
swmdle. The plan is to offer to give the
farmer fifty rods Of new fence, il lie will
put it along the road where it will be seen,
and serve as an advertisement and TIE
farmer is to be sole agent of the town and
be paid handsome commission on all
orders he may take. The farmer accepts
the proposal, and the agent tells him that
il will take two coils of wire, tor which
the farmer willingly signs an order. In a
few days q stranger comes along to collect
bill for wire fencing, and wishes imme-
diate payment. The farmer explains that
he put up the fence M an ertSemenl
and was to have it free. He is told that
he was to have fifty rods free, but he has
ordered outright one hundred aud fifty
rods, aud must pay for this at four cents per
foot. II the farmer is timid he settles
with him somehow, perhaps gives him his
note for 5000 to pay for wire he did not
order When he comes TO examine his
wire, he finds that he has two bundled
rods of wire that only make fifty rods OF
fence, four spans high, and in due TIME
learns that his note has been discounted nj
the bank In the nearest town. F5storio

Gar Fish.-The oldest fisherman on

fish as il is now. A gentleman who has a
fish ground just below our village thought
he would make one haul, few evenings
since, just to get somefish for his own Use.
lie got his men together one evening, and
they made haul. And such haul He
got few good fish, and about four tons of
gars. The latter were so entangled in the
meshes OF the seine that it took the men
nearly four hours to get them out. lie
piled them on shore, intending to Use them
for fertilizing purposes on his land, but the
water raised in the river and now the
shore for some distance is literally walled
in with gar fish. The pound fishers at the
mouth OF Grassy Greek took in one gar
which measured over three feet in length.

The Weekly Louistantdn dis covers,
that even under Gov. Nichols rule
the colored man Is treated with justice.
The particular grievance complained
OF, ia the smallpox. Not that the ne
groes are defrauded Of their full share
of the disease. or that they are not
granted full equality in this respect,
but the Lo,.istanian thinks that the
reference OF the newspapers to the
spread of the disease among the colored
people. is slur, an insult, and an injus.
tioe to them. It says:
While we don't deny that there may
be some truth In the above statements,
we submit that IL seems a little incredi-
bile that none but negroes have small
pox, and that the spread OF the disease
la attributable to the indiscretions Of
the negro only. Why can't our CON
temporaries be little justp Surely,
the negro has enough prejudice to IGN,
without saddling upon him the respon'
sibility OF spreading contagious dis
ease. E-
If 1t is prejudice to say that the small
pox IN very bad among the negroes IL
the parishes, we are sorry to say thai
the prejudice is only too well founded
