Your note of the 2Sth ultimo, con-
cerning the report that Gen. Hoyt is
an infidel, came to hand yesterday
In reply 1 say 1 have been acquaint-
ed with the General for eight or nine
years-the last four and over in this

Hodge, the Pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church in this city, and of
the family of Gen. Hoyt, and showed
him your note. After reading it he
emphatically pronounced the charge

utterly untrue. From conversations

who have known the General from
his young manhood, I have no doubt
of the correctness of Rev. Mr..
Hodges Characterization of said re-
port Yours truly,

In the autumn and winter of 1866, there was no
weather up to Christmas that froze apples, which
were then on the trees, after which we had cold
winter. And in the winter Of 55 and SO, the first
snow fell during the holidays, which remained
on the ground, with good sleighing continuously
for sixteen weeks (7). We sometimes think the
weather is more changeable than when we were
a boy. 1t is hardly safe now to leave home with
out an umbrella, an overcoat and a fan.
The fields of wheat in thisend of the county are
looking finely.
Our neighbor, Samuel Hoffman, threshed thirty
bushels of clover seed, lately, Sam. is a thrifty
farmer and good citizen.

The schools in this township are all in motion
and lierares are organized in several Of the dis

In this township are four churches; one dry
goods store in Strasburg, kept by 10. Maudru &
Bro; seven saw mills and Two grist mills, one of
the latter owned by Chas Bartolett, where as good
-four is made as in any other mill in the county.

Tramps are on the wing. One visited this vi.
cinity about week ago, stating that his house
near Damascus, Columoiana county was burned,
together with all he had, telling when and giving
the particulars, and asking aid. We long since
quit giving money to strangers, but succeeded in
getting 500 that day. He gave his name as Musser.
The German Baptists have built and dedicated
a church lately, east of this few miles which is
44X90 feet with basement under the entire house.
There is room to feed and accommodate the mul-

AT THE INFIRMARY,-on Saturday last, was Civ
en- the annual New Year feast TO the inmates thai
day being preferred TO Tuesday for good reasons
The inmates enjoyed the occasion with gusto
as usual, and made way with the good things TO
surprising degree. 5..
There was in attendance the InArmary Direc'
tors the physician, the County Commissioners ex'
Cepl Mr., Poorman; several other county officials
and dozen or two Of invited guests, some with
their "better halfs'. Several ex. Directors were
present some Of them familiar with the institution
for many years and who yet take much interest,"
in It, AT the banquet two years ago we erememoeE
that the late Doctor G, j. Geger then lately elect
ed Director, was actively usefnl.
OF course The Eress was represented ON Saturday
last, and seemed to enjoy the occasion especially
the table ofgoOd things prepared by the supern
tendent and his good lady for the company invlt'
ed It's scarcely necessary to say the regular IN
mates Of the institution were first served IN thelr
own dining rooms, and about2 o'clock the guest
were bounifully cared for In the private rooms ol
the family.
The steam heating arrangements, within week
or two of completion, were the object OF investiga'
ton on the part of both ladies and gentlemen and
Mr.. Kelly, of the firm Of Kelly e. Jones, Pitts
burgh, was on hand to act as conductor and ex
plain the apparatus and its working, which il
mostly automatic or self regulating. Itwas eaAy
to see that the job was extensive and much of IT.

boilers are certainly excellent in their arrange.

made on the most approved plan with air cham
Der, and OF masonry that speaks for itself with a
heavy stone cap on top to bind and protect We
only hope when the job is complete and in opera

themselves.
We never visit the Inhrmary without rejoicing
that we live in an age aud country where human
ity takes public shape and boomsin such institu-
tions of christian charity. These should be made
comfortable al safe and conducted in the true
spirit, We called with friend at the room, on
the first floor, of one old couple, worthy people
who are spending there the last few yearsallotted

stove, but in place, back of the stove is the steam
heater ready for work, and which will be self reg

and hence more healthful and much more safe

MARSHALL WEBB-Of our city, it seems, has
been little victmized, we know not to what ex-
tent, and we hope not much. The Cincinnati
Enquirer special from Mansfield, on Friday last,
had the following: "a few days ago man who
gave his name as II. d. Boswick, Of Cincinnati,
arrived here and registered at the Wiler House.
He soon after took a number Of county officials
here and elsewhere into his confidence, PERSONAL
ly and by letter, and stated that he was one Of a
party Of bank robbers, claiming that his pals had
"gone back on him." He averred that he was
anxious to give them away" provided he was
assured nf immunity from punishment and was
given mis- share Of the rewards offered for their
arrest and detection, which he stated amounted
to $4,000 On the strength Of these representa-
tions he got small advances Of money from va
rious officials. Among his victims being Marshal
Lemon Of this county and Marshal Webb, of
Canton. He also sent letter to John t. Norris,
OF Springfield, offering to turn up the Batavia
treasury robbers for half the reward, but when
John got here he found that Boswick had fed to
Cleveland and there John pursued him. Bos-
wick Is believed to be none other than the motor.
ious Jack Rivers, the bank robber turned conf
dence man."

AKRoN.-The gas war is the principal topic Of
conversation here. Several weeks ago the City
Council decided to substitute oil for gas, but they
were restrained by an order from the court AT
the last meeting of the Council the president, ].
Park Alexander, read statistics which he had pre-
pared, showing that gas for which ne city pays
$3.50 can be made for 40 cents. This called out
reply from o. G. Barber, prominent manuac-
tlrer and ex.member of the Council, who is inter
ested in gas stock. After the meeting adjourned
the discussion was resumed. 1t waxed hot, and
words soon led to blows, which resulted in con-
siderable bodily injury to the ex-member. Legal
proceedings were predicted, but to-day the friends
of the parties have amicably adjusted matters .
Bowman & Mcneil, prominent boot and shoe
dealers, went into bankruptcy Christmas day, and
yesterday George Hanson, also in the boot and
shoe business, made an assignment.

CANTON SPRING Coils the name of new firm
that has bought the spring shop and stock thereof
of the Ballard, Fast & Co. concern. Rumor puts

Mrs. Daniel Cobaugh and Herman Kuhns, son
of Reverend L. NJ. Kuhns, who has been for six
years in the Office of the late firm. They have
good supply of stock and plenty Of orders, and
are now running some forty hands, The wagon
aud carriage spring department of the late firm
was always kept separate and distinct from the
saw and knife works. Mr.. Daniel Cobaugh, a
member of the late firm, will be business mana
ger and superintendent, while Mr.. Kuhns will

AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT FROM THE CHIL
DRENS HOME.

Christmas, the day of days among little folks,
came and went with the inmates Of FairmOunt
Childrens Home not soon to be forgotten. 1t was
such day of sunshine and rejoicing that the lit
tie ones were anxious to know when Christmas
would come again.
They had their good dinner, which the Older
ones expecled; but they do not understand why
the little folks of Canton should feel so much in
terest in them as to send them such quantity Of
toys, candies and nice picture books. Some Of
them say, II would like to see the children who
sent these nice things" While life lasts will they
retain lively recollection of the past Christmas
with the pleasures and happiness it brought
them.
The children all join in sending love and thanks
10 their kind friends in Canton,
Respectfully, ]. F. BUCK, supt.
