The Tiffin 1dur'iser calls Findlay the
wickedest place in Ohio. We deny the
slanderous allegation in toto FIndlay
is one thousand per cent more moral

ness and immortality is knee deep, or
deeper in that waiter girl saloon-village.

John Dennison has done a good thing.
He has invented aud secured a patent
for new buggy spring which,we think,
when introduced, will supercede all 9th
ers. 1t is quite simple-a single spiral
spring, properly adjusted under the CEN
terof the body. We rode short distance
a few days ago, in buggy with this
spring attached, did not slack speed 60
ing over crossings, and could scarcely
notice any difference from the movement
on smooth roads. The spring is good
thing and should be generally used.

Since pull backs and trails have been
the order, it has been fashionable for
ladies' to gather up the over skirt in
one hand and carry it gracefully along
with them, when ever they are cross
ing street, dusty spot or a muddy
place. Latterly some of the more artis-
TIC have been practicing an improve
ment By peculiar movement of the
foot to the rear, they are enabled to
throw up the skirt so as to catch it in
the hand. 1t requires considerable
practice to become proficient, but oc
casionly proficient meets with failure,
for if the heel of the shoe happens to
catch in the hoops, something has to
give way, or the lady will have to stand
like goose, on one foot, while she e1tri-
Gates herself from the dilemma. Occa-
sionly, when a specially good looking
young man is close behind, they have
even been known to fall backward and
be caught, naturally enough, in the arms
of the gentleman We are neither very
young nor especially good looking, SO
We have never been obliged to save a
a young lady from falling.
