Temperance meetings we're held at the

we may expect in case the friends of Tenn
peranee move upon the cohorts of King Al
chol again this winter.

Will any one tell what has become of
the shad that were put into the lake some
three or four years ago? There were at
that time some five milk cans of young
shad, numbering several thousand, started
on the journey of life, since which nothing
has been heard hereabOuts of them, save
that two or three were caught the second
year, having made fair growth. If they
survived minnowhood, as is indicated, why
should they not attain to full sized fish
hood9 Will piscatory science answer?
About the quietest and keenest bit of
satire we have of late met with, is the fol-
towing notice of Ryder's sentimental song
book, of which our readers have heard. 1t
is from the Warren Tribune. The force
of the wit can only be appreciated by a
sight Of the authors portrait that adornsI
the cover of the book"
The poems were written by a ''sweet
singer of Michigan" a lady whose portrait
adorns the cover of the book, and whose
personal lovliness is only equsled by the
rare beauty of her ''poems." The picture
alone is worth the price Of the book, which
is only % cents.
-Topky, the hardware man, has been
putting in a mammoth soft coal base burn
er, to keep his store in comfortable tempera-
ture, 1t is perhaps the largest one of the
kind ever introduced here, while at the
same time it is hardly surpassed for beauty
of design. 1t burns the cheapest kind of
coal-slack-and is a triumph of art in
every respect, and not least is that of econ
omy. 1t is called the Climax, is of Akron
and those who have tried it
since the late introduction, certify to- their
high appreciation of its performance.
Among the soft coal burners that are re-
ceiving attention, this one appears quite
likely to hold what its name implies-the
climax.
Our Kingsville correspondent makes
allusion to the condition of things at Luce's
store, KingsYille, and in another part of
this paper, Mr.. Luce speaks for himself.
A full stock of new, seasonable goods, at
this time.cwhen We require to be shod and
clothed upon to meet the severity of ap-
winter, IS worthy of thought
and attention. Beside, there are the
articles needed every
day in the year, which may be looked for
more satisfactorily when there is a full
and fresh stock to choose from. Then, too,
it is, that the merchant is full of trembling
hope, and expectation, and wants to start
off with brisk trade, and may be found
in the very best frame of mind and mood
for his customers to make his kindness
come down, It is policy, then, to go for
him.
Something of ripple on the face of
the body polite, took place on Wednesday
last, by the trial Of one Of our young men
on the charge of disturbing the peace and
the decency of society on the
street. He was arraigned before the May
Or's court, and in compliance with the de-
mand of the defendant, a jury of twelve
men was impanneled and number of wit
nesses introduced, Legal acumen was
brought into play in the examination, as
also in the arguments, and when the case
went to the jury they retired and Geliber-
ated some ten minutes, returning a verdict
of guilty. A motion was at once filed in
arrest Of judgment. This jury trial is the
result Of e refusal to pay 81 and costs, i'm
POSED by his Honor, the Mayor, at the first
hearing. This verdict sustains the police
officer, who took cognizance of the Of
fense. Hoyt and Pettibone for the corpor-
OtiOn and Hall for the defendant.
