Prof. RIDGE, Of Cincinnati, has been

last of the season under the auspices Of tha q.
Association.
Mr.. EASTMAN, who resides on Mr.
Ross farm just below town, lost forty
chickens and several tutkies few nights
since. II there is detectives enough in
this country to ferret out the chicken
thieves who infest this neighborhood, they
should be employed az once.
--Pemberville had n narrow escape from
destruction by fire on Friday last. The
fire was started by boys playing with
matches in a barn owned by A. HAsLER,
which owing to a strong wind at the time
was soon consumed and two others with il
the property Of Rev. Mr.. CAMP. So says
a correspondent to the Bee.
This has been poor season for the
fishermen on our river. The catch has
been unusually small. High water at the
commencement of the pickerel season and
subsequent strong east winds are the chief
causes of failure, as the fishermen believe
The truth is fishing on the river is haz-
ardous business, when well followed.
The people of this township have
been literally taxed for the construction
of several free bridges across the two
branches of Portage river, and also for
the bridges across the Maumee river at
Waterville and Grand Rapids, and they
feel that they have right to max for a
free bridge here, where il is needed more
than at any other point in the county.
Changing Of grades on streets in Tole-
do seems to be an expensive business.
Aside from the expense OF the heavy fill
Monroe street and the L. s. & NJ. s. rail-
road, $50 ,906 81 was awarded as damages
TO property owners along the street who
were compelled 10 raise their buildings
about one story to get even with the street,
-RICHARD EGGLEsToN, the old veteran
was run over by the cars on the Middle
Ground at Toledo on Tuesday afternoon
last and mangled in most shocking man
ner. His remains were recognized the
next day by MIR. GEO. S. CANFIELD, who
had published quite history of the old

Mr.. Henry WIGANT, who was elected
Trustee of Perrysburg township, has full
filed his promise by removing to town. It
was claimed just prior to the election that
one OF the Trustees at least should reside
in town to look after the tramps and other
matters. Having no family Mr.. w. said
he could reside in town quite as conven-
iently as on the farm. This is another
argument in favor Of bachelors.
Another of those old frame buildings
on Front street is succumbing to the times
in which we live. Mr.. JOHN ANON has
removed his grocery cross the street into
the building vacated by Mr.. GETz, and the
old frame in which he has done business
for several years is fast disappearing to
give place to a two story brick block. Let
the good work go on.
We have interviewed the proprietor of
the neat aud only sailing craft at this point,
who was reported in the Bee to have had
rough experience in his frs: voyage on the
raging Maumce, Tuesday. He says the re-
porter drew heavily upon his own imagin-
alton or was grossly imposed upon by some
villain with malice aforethought. Yet
said sea faring man is willing to admit that
he had some adverse winds on that day.
