GOODNIGHT.

Good-nighti have to say goodnight
To such q host Of peerless things! -
Goodnight unto the fragile hand
All queenly with its weight OF rings;
Goodnight to fond uplifted eyes,
Goodnight to chestnut braids of hair,
Goodnight unto the perfect mouth,
And all the sweetness nestled there
The snowy hand detains me, then
rll have to say goodnight again!
But there will come time, my love,
When If read your stars Alright,
shall not inger by the porch
With my adieus. Till then goodnight!
You wish the time were now? And ].
You do not blush to wish ii so?
You would have blushed yourself to death
To own so much year ago
What? both these snowy hands? All, then,
PIl have to say goodnight againl

Some time after, the little one remarked.
with perplexed air, not realizing that
all roads lead to Rome, "When l go to

An Important Law.

The following bill passed the General
Assembly of Ohio, and is now a law:
"If the directors of any sub-district
dismiss any teacher for any frivolous or
insufficient reason, such teacher may
bring suit against such sub-district, and
if, on trial of the cause, a judgment be
obtained against the sub-district, the di-
.~rectors thereof shall certify to the clerk
of the board the sum so found due, and
he shall issue an order to the person en-
titled thereto upon the township treasur-
er to pay the same out of any money in
his hands belonging to said sub-district
and applicable to the payment OF teach,
ers. In such suits process may be serv-
ed on the clerk of the sub-district, and
service upon him shall be sufficient"
Heretofore it has been held by the
Courts of Ohio that the directors of a
sub-district could not be sued by a dis
missed teaches for wages due such teach,
er for services rendered.

Our County Fair.

Two farmers can hardly meet and talk
together without learning something new
from each other. The County Fair is
where all can meet. 1t is at these annu-
al gatherings of the tillers of the soil, that
the producer and consumer, the buyer
and seller, the inventors, or their agents,
and their patrons, meet face to face, to
compare notes, examine the relative
merits of the various classes of stock,
c~riticise the capabilities of implements,
new and old, and study carefully, each
for himself, the progress that was made
during the year, in the art that furnishes
food and clothing to the people of the
earth. Those who have articles to show,
go with a view to bring their implements
machinery and products before the great
est possible number of prospective buy
ers; those who want to buy, go to see
and carefully examine into the merits of
what may be presented. These all have
affxedinterest-a business one-to which
all others are subordinate. The stock
growers and buyers here meet to exam
inc into the merits of particular breeds
and families; the grain grower is inter
ested in whatever is new in cereals; the
gardener looks carefully into what isnew
or improved in vegetable growths; the
florist interests himself in rare, curious,
or beautiful plants or flowers, and the
fruit grower looks into whatever is new
in %pomology. Implements and machin,
cry for rendering more easy, or improv-
ing the cultivation in the several depart
ments of agriculture, are examined with
avidity by all. Don't forget to prepare
for u County Fair at Eaton on Sept.

The Victim Of Sl,i25.oo.

Gray hairs and age don't seem to be a
protection from the wiley ways of the
numerous sharpers who infest our large
cities and placeseof resort in this colm-
try, as our old citizen I. 7. McCABE, can
now truthfully testify. On his way home
from his visit to Delaware with his nieces,
Misses Minor and McCabc, New York
city was taken in and the Astor House
the stopping place. Uncle "Lev." was
not very well and remained in his room
abed all the next day after their arrival,
while the nieces visited the city OF Brook
lyn. His story then runs thusly: While
resting III scmi-unconscious condition
from a dose of morphine taken the eve
ming before the morning of the 3rd Of
Sept, a young man appeared unto him,
representing himself to be Charles f..
Brooke, jr., son Of G.. F. Brooke, Of the
First National Bank of Eaton, and stated
that he was in New York on business for
the Bank, and had got into a financial
difficulty and appealed to him for assist
anee. Uncle "Lev." was moved and
signed a Draft for $365.00 and the young
man left happy. In the course of half an
hour he returned. again, and with tears
streaming from his eyes, he declared that
the amount was insufficient to remove
the troubles, that it would require at least
$4,000 more, and in the goodness of his
heart and for the love Of his fellow citi-
zen of Eaton, uncle Lev signed an
other Draft for the $4,000, and the
young man hastily dropped out to again
make himself happy. In about half an
hour he returned to uncle "Lev. So room
again, and with some papers in his hand
represented that he had succeeded in
getting out of his difficulties without using
the Drafts, at the same time tearing up
and dropping into the water vessel what
our victim supposed and was satisfied
were the identical Drafts, but what event
ually proved to be only blank paper.
After enquiring anAiously for the nieces
Of uncle "Lev." and expressing many
regrets that his business and anxiety to
get home, would prevent him from the
pleasure of meeting them, he bid uncle
"Lev." a hearty goodbye and God
bless you," and vanished. When uncle
"Lev." returned home he found that G.
F. Brooke, ir., had not been out of Ea-
ton, and that the Drafts were here for
collection! Many of our citizens are dis
posed to regard lightly the story as to
how the drafts were obtained, but as to
the truth of it and whether they will be
honored or not, a few days will deter.

ton of the voters Of the county to the fact
that the law requires the election of a
land appraiser for each township in the
county this fall. This being the fact, it
is time now for our citizens in the sever
al townships to select a proper person to
fill the position, as the office is n of
vast importance. As this appraisement
holds good until 1890, it behooves those
interested to use the utmost care in the
selection of that person. What is need
ed is a man of good judgment, and with
it a thorough knowledge o~fproperty. 1t
is not probable that a man without these
requirements would do justice either to
the taxpayers or the county.
