West Independence Letter


WEST INDEPENDENCE, April 1877.
ED. JEFF: Since the warm wearhe r
has indicated that spring is near at
hand, we notice farmers are busy re-
pairing fences haulingmanure, under
draining &c. preparatory to putting in
their spring crops.
Farmers seem to be somewhat awake
to the fact that improving their lands
by good system of understanding is
not money i'll spent, but that it will re-
turn a good per cent on money and
time invested. There is quite differ
ence of opinion as to which makes the
best drain, all things considered, tile
or heading.
Those who have sugar camps have
taken advantage of the spring weather
to lay by supply of maple molases.
Republicans in Big Lick will be
compelled to look on ole year longer
and yearn for some fat township office,
as the Democrats completely scooped
us.
Alvada station on the G.. & T. X. K.
has at last got a postoffice established,
with two mails day, which is a great
convenience 10 the people of the east
side of Big Lick.
g. w. Smith, of this township, has
determined to locate near Adrian,
Mich, and intends TO leave this week
for his new home. While we feel sorry
TO lose so good a citizens, We woald |
congratulate the people of Lenawee |
county on their gaining such a one,
and an ardent Republican besides.
There is a rumor afioat that the |
family of Michael Spangler, of Ridge |
Wyandot county were pois-
oned by some ill designed person one |
day last week. The poison was sup
posed to have been put in the coffee.
The result have not learned.
We suppose our friend 6. r, who
announced in last weeks JKFF. the
oyster supper at Mr. Yosts, will be on
hand to assist mine host in entertain
ing the guests.
A friend from Michigan informs HE
that in the month of March the snow
was SO deep in his part of the State, as
to make it impossible to get through
it in The WOODS and fields.

Just 50 But how are the denizens
OF TIC interior 10 be benefited so long
as the dams across the various streams
connecting with the Maumee are per
mitted 20 stand without schutes in
them. The law passed some years ago
makes il obligatory for County Com
missioneTs TO see that such dams
have proper schuies 10 allow the pas
sage Of fish up the rivesr. Yet the law
is practically a dead letter, the COM
uiissioneTs not having required the
dams TO be schu:ed. The people are
thus cut off from enjoying a luxury,
provided by nature, and to which they
would have access but for the mistaken
policy of commissioners in not euforc
ing the law. la the early days of this
locality, choice fish were DO rarity, but
as the country YVES settled up and dams
were thrown across the Blanchard to
accommodate the various mills that were
built, the spaces between became but
vast fish ponds that were soon despoil-
ed Of their choicest game, so that now
a respectable size fish is a rarity, and
our people have to depend upon i'm
poriations which can only be had at a
good round price. This condition OF
things can be easily and radically cur
ed if the commissioners of Hancock,
Putnam, Paulding and Defiance will
do their duty. The State law gives
them the power and makes il their
duty to require all dam overs to have
their dams supplied with suitable
schutes. 1t remains with them to see
that the laws are enforced. They
should remember that the benefit is
for all the people and not permit
the parsimoly of dam owners to stand
between them and the performance of
a duty eujoined upon them and which
involves The right of all the people.

The Circuit Court, which convened
in Toledo on Monday, had the matter
of the G. S. & c., before it. Besides
the appointm ut of a Receiver, Judge
FiLnefrock had granted a temporary
injunction age inst the old manage
ment, enjoining them from doing GER
tain acts. When the Circuit Court sat
ia Chambers ou Monday evening, in
the Rooms of Judge Rouse, as we find
in the Commercials report:
Judge Ranney moved to Dissolve The
Injunction above mentioned. There
upon ex-Prosecut;Dg Attorney Lee, OF
Sandusky, representing the Sloane in
terest, moved a postponement of the
hearing of the motion to dismiss. One
of the chief reasons assigned for the
desired delay was that Judge Burke,
of Cleveland, senior counsel for the
new management, had not been duly
and Sufficiently informed of the filing
of certain affidavits by the other side
Therefore time was needed 10 meet
the points therein contained. The
propriety of the postponement was
argued pro. and con. by Mr.. Lee
and Judge Ranney. After consulta-
ton with his associate. Judge Caldwell
was about TO announce the granting Of
the postponeInent, and assign Monday
next as the day for hearing tho motion
to dismiss the injunction, when he was
interrupted by Judge Ranney, who
asked that he might have until morn
ing to consider whether CT not he
would withdraw his affidavits. This
last request was granted, aud the ques
tion of postponeInent was Il us left in
allegiance. 1t is fair to presume that
if the affidavits are withdrawn the
hearing of the main motion will pro
ceed at once If the affidavits are not
withdrawn, said motion will most
likely 60 over until next Monday
morning. Rush r Sloane was pres
eDt in court last night, and kept a
close watch Oil the proceedings, Three
of the associate counsel for the old
management were also present; Judge
Seney. of Tiffin, Hon. MIR. Bowman.
of Springfield, and ii ri. John NJ. Lem
mon, of Clyde. The result of this leg
al controversy will be looked for with
interest.
Judge Ranny concluded not to witl.-
draw the affidavits and the case was
set for hearing on Saturday morning.

THE Louisiana complication was not
simplified on Saturday, by the state
ment of Judge Hunter, of the Ninth
Judicial District, that although he
voted for Nicolls and Tilden, he has
now left the Democratic party because
it offered no guarantee for peace and
safety in the State. He told the Com
mission that Packard is the rightful
Governor and should be sustained.
The perplexing part of the storyi is that
Judge Hunter supported Nichols aud
Tilden at the same election when he
himself was elected on the Republican
ticket As Stephen Blackpool says,
'It's a. a muddle."

Chamberlain holds under the Constl-

or take such other action as is legal.

The weight of the body, as is well
known, has often been assumed as
an intallible proof of the mainten-
ance of the condition of the bodv
or of deposition of tissue, and the
food which keeps up mans weight
has been regarded on that account
as satisfactorily nutritious, Remark
ing upon this, in nis recent address
at Munich, Prof. Volt says that the
weight Of the body is really no cri-
terlon of the value of the food taken
because, while the weight remains
constant or even increases, water
may increase in the tissues and albu-
men and fat diminish; or there may
be an increase of weight and depo-
sition of fat, while there is also Al
The same tune a diminution of the
al6unen OF the bOdy-the fact being
that badly -nourished people are usn.
ally not lighter than others. but
their bodies contain more water and
less albumen than those who are well
nourlshed. Prof. Volt also adds that
the subjective feeling of satisfaction
is equally deceptive; that the Irish
peasant who consumes ten pounds of
potatoes in the day feels quite salts
lied, and yet is badly nourished, in
point OF fact, though not conscious
OF it,

Yesterday a gentleman, residing
in a neat, modest cottage in the su-
burbs, caught a tramp prowhng
about his back yard, evidently try
ing to steal something.
"Why don't You come to the front
door if you want snything?" indig-
nantly roared the proprietor.
'SThat's what | was looking for, "
was the impudent reply.
"Didn't you see it on the other
side of the house?" retorted the gen.
tleman.
"How was I to know that was the
front door? No silver dOor-plate,
no bell, no telephone, no statuary,
no servant to take your hat and
cane. Tell your boss there is a gen

his breakfast.
When the gentleman got back
with his shotgun, the tramp was
not there any more.

A BIue-GIass Experiment.

Mr.. Blimley read about blue e-glass
until he became a convert to the
doctrine. Having boy baby about
three months old, who has been
somewhat puny and has given evil
dence of weak lungs, he had an east
window of his house paned with
blue-glass, and exposed him to the
SUMS rays for an hour or two for
several days. The baby was left un-
der the blue window for three hours,
at the conclusion of which time he
got up and went down stairs, declar-
ing that he had enough of that
"dog- goned foolishness." He threw
his off foot into Mr.. Blimley's stom-
aeh, and knocked the lower portion
of Mrs. Blimley's chin off with his
right fist. As Mr.. Blimley lay un-
der the washstand, trying to decide
whether he had been struck by
lightning or was in an Ashtabula
disaster, young Blimley set up sucL
yell that a neighbor next door,
who has been bowling for war since
the sth of November. went down
into his cellar and hid under an emp
ty flour barrel, under the impression
that a general insurrection had brok-
en- ont. As soon as Mr.. Blimley re-
covered sufficiently, he procured a
hammer and smashed every pane OF
blue-glass he could find. They
now keep young Blimley gagged
and chained to an anvil.
