There are a score or more of nice
young men in this town that will argue
all day long that they never could stand
1t to bind oats for fear of sun stroke /;
when they are known to hump over a
game of croquet with Mercury ranging at
95 degrees in the shade, and not even re
alizing that il was warm weather.

The stockholders of the new bath
house, which is located on the shore Of
the lake, on the Galloway property, held a
grand opening last Friday afternoon.
There were 43 persons present, including
ladies and children, most of whom enjoy

Our citizens who have occasion to
pass through Lake street complain bitter
ly of trains On the l. S. & n. S. Ry., that
stand on this crossing, and detain travel
for a longer time than the law allows. 1t
is an easy matter TO "cut" the trains, and
it is hoped the railroad officials will, in
the future, see that it is done 1t would
be well for the Mayor to instruct the po-
lice to enforce that five minute ordi-
nance
we have seen men enter the cage Oi
q lion and thrash around like splitting
rails, thinking every minute they would
be converted into lion food and conclud-
ed that they were foOl-hardy indeed. But
for something to put all this in the shade
is 70 drop into Newbery's Drug Store
someday and see Martin fondle that rat
tie snake, he has in a cage, with his
hands just as though it was a halter
strap. 'ii
i The first step in reference to State
Senator, is made by Geauga-a deputa-
tion from Ohardon-Messrs. Peter Hitch
cock and -- Ford having paid this
county visit on Monday last, to consult
about the matter. We learned that Geauga
rather claims the honor of furnishing
candidate, and with a show of right. The
most prominent gentlemen in that county.
for the position are Messrs. Geo. q. Ford
and Peter Hitchcock.
The gathering at the Opera House on
Friday evening, was not such as to war
rant the promised effort of Judge Sher-
man. The weather was the hottest of the
season, which may account in a measure
for an indispOsition TO confne the mind
and body to heated hall, but it was sup
posed that the treat expected, would over
come ordinary obstacles. We trust the
preparation of the Judge will not, be lost,
but that we may still hope to hear His
Honor, atanother and more favorable time.
From the Conneaut Express we learn
that work has commenced in laying out
the new driving park in that place. The
location is near the lake, and it is to be
named the Lake-View Driving Park Mr..
N. Kelsey has charge of the laying out
and grading of the track, and every effort
viii be made to have as good track as
there is to be found in this vicinity, and
it is the intention to hold an agricultural
exhibition on the grounds in 0ctober.
Fifty shares at s25 are to be sold for
the purpose of erecting suitable buildings.
There is evidently taste in our vii
lsge for natural history. At Geo. Hub
bard s Co.'S store may be seen young
alligator disporting himself in a fountain
in all the native hideousness of that des-
cription of reptiles, and at the store of
Martin NewberTy may be seen pet of
little different description of reptiles
rattlesnake of some 1s or 20 inches long,
and as is stated, with half dozen rattles.
The sight of handling such a venemous
thing, awakened no feeling of either curl
osity or sympathy, and our examinations
were not therefore, very critical.
-The most humane arrangement that
we have noticed, was brought to our at
tsntion the other evening, at the barn of
Mr. Fassett, on Bunker Hill. The design
is to make the horses comfortable during
the warm weather and save them from the
torment of the flies. This end is perfect
ly secured by covering all the openings
of the stable with netting. The expense
and trouble is but trifing, and the horses
are as quiet and comfortable as if flies
had never been invented To this COM
fort is added those of cleanliness and
sweetness of the stable. Theirs is a mod
el stable
