The item which appears OH the fourth

Is an error, according to the reports in

We learn that Mcssrs. Cobb and
Armstrong, of Yates township. had q

There was q severe frost in. this
locality, last Friday night, doing no
small amount Of damage; which is not,
however. total. In some cases the
late crops are entirely ruined. In 9TH
ers, they are scarcely injured. While
we deeply sympathise with the settlers
whose hopes of fair crops this season
are thus blighted, we confess our COM
plete inability to render an ything more
tangible. We can only recommend
the keeping up Of courage and the Dc
to try again.
We appeal to the common sense and
intelligence Of citizens of Lake county
to discard the false idea that there is
any ground for strife betwecn capital
and labor In the discussion OF town

this manner are appeals to public opin-

On Monday morning Sheriff Oviatt
went to point near Belden, this State,
and recovered a horse belonging to Mr..
Terry, Of Cherry Valley township,
which horse, 1t is alleged, was stolen
by A. II. Allen, when he left this local
ty a year or more ago. Allen was one
of the Justices elected by the ''infiu-
snce" of this township, year ago last
April. It's too bad that the co-laborers
with the ''infuence" are turning out

the "infiuence' has associated, has Ia
bored shoulder to shoulder, in variour
enterprises, should turn out herse-
or something little better or
worse! Where Is sack to hold the
wool now falling from the eyes of men,
,ers of tour infiuence?" Perhaps the
'ack won't need to be very large. Well,
proceed! We wait the next scene In

Dr., None 80 Blind as Those Who Won't
See!"
An indignation meeting Of the petty
clique Is now In order, to Convene Inn
