EDDIE O'CoNNoR delivered an address
at the Murphy meeting at WStervllle, one
evening last week, and the correspondent
to the Sonth Toledo Advertiser Pronounces
him natural orator, and speaks in fat
tering terms OF his efforts.
Mr., JOHN B. SHEPLER, who has had
charge Of passenger train on the d. & NJ
Road for about IL years, the Oldest con-
ductor on the road, we believe, has been
granted a fnrlough for six months by the
company. Mr.. 8. has been one OF the
most faithful in the discharge OF bis duties
and has won golden opinions from the
travelling public. His brother WILLIAM
fills the vacancy during his absence, we
believe.
G. A. Bassett Of the Perrysburg Jour
nal, is visiting friends in eur city. Bas-
sett is young and good looking, and we
advise the young ladies Of Lima to be
careful how they "gush" over him.-Lina
Gdzeite.
The editor OF the Gazette has established
n reputation for himself as "mind read
err" in thus early discovering the weak
points OF the young man. His advice 10
the ladies of Lima is timely.
