.'The largest, most fashionable and select
audience Of the season gathered at the
Opera-House last night to witness the sp!en-
did rendition OF the above side-splitting
comedy by the famous Florences. Every
seat was filed, and it was hard even to get
standing-room; and the frequent and pro-
longed bursts of applause from the de-
lighted spectators must have gratified even
these exquisite renderers of comedy in its
most chaste and ailuring form. It's impos-
sibIe to praise any one especially where all
were superlatiyely good. Every actor and
actress were perfectly up in their parts, and
ably supported Dir. and Mrs. Florence in

ALARM OF FIRE,-About two O'Clock
Friday afternoon tho Sunday quiet oI
the town WAS broken by an alarm OF
fire and soon the streets presented a
lively appearance of excited men hur-
rying to and fro auXiOuslv inquiring
the cause OF the alarm. The fire COM
ranies were soon on hand with all
their pariphranalia and implements
ready for action, the new Argus Hose
company beating all recorded time
and being at the reservoir ready to
couple on in twinkling, even before
the engine was brought round. Rnt
all this time the excited crowd was
eager tn know what had caused the
great commOtiOn. Cotter had the old
hand machine fully manned, hauled
around ;o the north door OF Gretzimy-
ers, ready TO couple onto u fresh key !;
the Hook and Ladder boys were pre-
pared for efficient service, but where,
tell them where were the devOuring
flames? While all were anXiously
iuquring for the scene of the confla-
grafton Il solitary footman arrived and
announced that Kelley's blacksmith
shop had been ablaZe but that few
pals of nu:d judiciously applied by
the bucket brigade had quemched the
flames, and the dead point of danger
being past the crowd retired to their
respective quartsrs and peace and quiet
haye since rcigncd supreme through
out our borders.

Since my last to the PRESS nothing
unusual has transpired in our town,
with the exception of AL effort to Or
ganize u Brass Band. n meeting was
called for that purpose OH "Wednesday
evening, August 1st, to appoint COM
mittees to raise funds for the purpose.
1t is hoped they may meet with sue
cess, as we have good material that
might be put into effective practice.
Our people have thus far this year
been blessed with good health. No
deaths have occurred during the past
season: Only two cases of typhoid fe-
yer have been reported, and one of a
mild form.
The far'uers are through haying and
harvesting, and, as a general thing ARE
well repaid for their toll. Many fields
of wheat have been threshed, and some
yield quite abundantIy Mr.. Jonas
Raber threshed the wheat grown on
four scant acres. which yielded 35
bushels per acre.
Mr.. r. Brotst has on hand a splen-
did lot OF wool of different grades
which is we'll assorted and presents a
fine appearance. 1t was taken in this
season.
Mr.. J. w. Hall, of Rootstown. will
commence II Select School at the Town
Hall in this place August 18th.
A large scale of the Fairbanks make
is being constructed at the Center for
the purpose of weighing stock and all
kinds of produce.
The corn crop does not look as prom
ising rs was at first anticipated, but
some fields will ear quite we'll. The
late potatoes are at present suffering
on account of the dry weather.
The season for politics is now draw
ing near, when the great battle will be
fought. The Democrats are well
pleased with the nominations of both
OuventiOns-satisfied that the Repub-
lican candidate can easily be beaten
this fall by Bishop. All seem to be
united and are well pleased with the
Democratic platform uniting the great
and growing element styled the green
