dents, to spin out his life to the longest
limit which it is possible to attain; while
he who lives intensely, who feeds on high
seasoned food, whether material or men
tai, fatigues his body or brain by too
hard labor, seeks continual excitement,
gives loose rein to his passions, frets at
every trouble, and enjoys little repose, is
burning. the candle at both ends, and is
sure to shorten his days.

PHILADELPHIA Times.

The compounders of cocktails at the Con-
tinental have been kept busy during the past
week explaining the use of neat-looking
black-walnut case in the centre of the bar,
with little silver circles containing the fig
ures 10, Is, 20, 25, 80, 40, SO, Is, 100, and
200, below each of which is small drawer.
This drawer contains pasteboard cards, with
number corresponding to the circle above.
When customer calls for glass of ale the
tencent drawer is pulled out and card with
that amount is handed to the imbiber, who
passes over the cash and the ticket, both of
which are deposited in the cash drawer.
Meanwhile the action of opening the
drawer causes similar card to drop into
locked receptacle below, the key of which is
in the possession of the proprietors of the
hotel. When the cash account is made up
in the morning, the amount of money in the
cash drawer must equal the total amount of
tickets in the "punch'' receptacle. The ma
chine is very ingenious in its workings, and
| is an eHectual preventive against bartenders
''knocking down. One of the genial man
ipulators of glasses remarked, yesterday !:
This thing beats the Virginia and street car
bell punches, and,'' laughingly, cit also
beats the bartender, as there is no knock
ing down with this new-fangled thing, One
thing, it stops the professionals who come in
for their morning cocktail and take us to one
side to mysteriously whisper, Put it down
on the slate I'll pay another time All
we have to do is to point to the machine.
That stops that business, you know. A
number of amusing instances have occurred
since the register has been in use. A travel
er called few nights ago, and while par
taking of his drink l pulled the 15-cent
drawer, when he shouted, Don't ring for a
porter; don't want to go to bed yet'' An
other asked where the cashiers desk was af
ter receiving his bit of pasteboard. It also
saves us vast amount of trouble with i'm
pecunious young men about town, who
have been in the habit of requesting
credit. They know that if the cash is moi
forthcoming after receiving drink we are
held responsible for the amount. It will regis
ter as high as you wish, from 10 cents up
nothing below that figure, as there are nc
fve-cent drinks sold here.'' The invention
was manufactured by the New York register.

to that city. One old bartender said thai

clothes, gold watches and chains, etc.. as

Excitement snd short life.

The deadliest foe to mans longevity
IS an unnatural excitement. Every man
is born with a certain stock of vitality,
which cannot be increased, but which
may be husbanded or expended rapidly,
as he deems best. He who avoids stimu-
lants, takes light exercise, never overtasks
himself, leeds his mind and heart on no
exciting material, has no facilitating
pleasures, lets nothing rutf1e his temper,

LAKE SHORE.

Eds. 1el.-There is little news to hand
in from this part of Saybrook. The late
froStS did US very little if any damage on
the shore; the lake winds as usual prevent
ing the serious effects which prevailed else
where. Oats were so thoroughly drenched
for some two weeks after sowing that the
crop is injured to the extent Of fully one
fourth. Corn planting is not quite fin
ished up in this vicinity, but although we
are always behind our ridge neighbors in
the spring, We beat them in yield. Wheat
is exceedingly good and promises one Of
the best harvests for years. As to mead
ows there is sca:cely good one to be seen.
The rain yesterday was timely and will help
them some.
In my meanderings the other day 1 wit
messed country chap locking horns with
your Senior in turn or two with the black
mare. As she went so fast it probably
produced giddiness, he put the ribbons into
Shears hands, and the motion was more
than kept up until the stufing was COM
pletely taken out of the rural gentlemen
and he slid away like licked rooster
while the editor smoled a smile and started
for his den, probably to chronicle some
thing like this. The moral to this episode,
is, be careful how you make mill with the
editors black, Blazing Star. HANK.

Council PROCEEDINGS.

The Council met in regular session last
Wednesday evening; all members present
except Mr.. Butler. Minutes of the two
preceding meetings wsrs read and ap-
proved.
A petition from property owners on
Camp street was read, asking the Council
to amend an ordinance providing for the
construction of a sidewalk on the west line
of Camp street, that it shall read on the
north side of said street, (the word west
being an error,) and to make said walk not
less than 4 feet in width. The prayer of
the petitioners was granted and an ordi-
nance ordered.
The Gas Comm. reported favorsbly on
making contract with the Ashtabula Gas
Light Co., tor gas for lighting streets, in
accordance with the following proposition:
"The Gas Company 20 furnish gas and
oil, and clean, light and extinguish all the
gas and oil lamps now in use in the old
borough limits for twenty nights each
month, to be burned all night, for the sum
of twenty-five dollars per month. subject
to additional charge for advance, if any, in
oil used in oil lamps"
A special committee composed Of the
Mayor, Fisk and Manning was appointed
to engage rooms for Council meetings.
Mr.. S. A. Thaysr was appointed and con-
frmed as Harbor Master for the term Of
one year.
The Mayor appointed Israel Furguson,

AUSTINBURG.

Eds. Tel.-WS have had three weddings
in the past few days, and with lectures,
concerts and decorations, have had lively
village.
Mr.. St. John Of Rock Greek, has rented
the Exchange House for the coming year.
The exercises Decoration Day were large
ly attended, perhaps more so than ever be-
fore on an occasion of the kind. The
chapel at the Institute was filled to over
flowing, but all felt paid for the slight
squeezing in listening to the address OF
Mr.. Foster of Cleveland, and Prof. Tuck
erman. Mrs. Pappenheim's sudden de-
parture for Europe doesn't worry our psO-
pie for we could not wish better singing
than the Gles Club gave US. The process
sion formed with the martial band at the
head, followed by Austin Post and thirty
six young ladies with flowers, the Cornet
Band, speaker and singers, the Morning
Star Grange-which by the way was very
large company-town schools and citizens.
The head of the procession was marched
to the hotel corners and thence north to
Austin Cemetery. While the other swung
around on to the north street and thus
reached the monument first. This feat
was not in the programme but was neatly
executed.
The monument was elaborately trimmed
and decorated. Thirty-six small flags,
each with Grape strsamer, were attached.
Each flag representing the name of SOL
dier dead, and as the name was called with
brief history, the young ladies in turn
came forward with their wreath. The
Band played well, fine dirge, which we
understand is composition of their lead
er, Prof. Hopkins. Capt. L. B. Austin
made a brief, earnest closing address.
Then came a beautiful feature of the cere-
mony; the little children in small compa-
nies, and led by the Post Committee,
strewOd flowers on the graves Of those we
delight to honor.
We are glad to see movement to bring
forward one of our able and worthy towns
men to fill one of the vacancies that are
to be, in our county offices. Austinburg
is certainly entitled to place by this time
and will present for nomination, one in
every way worthy of the support Of the
voters of this county. OFF.
