ARsURDIrIEs or rHE SENTINEL,


ED. JoURSAL;- II il extremely absurd
IN the Sentinel, aud others, to attempt to
answcr certain qucstions or get over stub
born facts, by assuming that those who
complain Of illegal and unjust assessments,
&C., wouid not I've able to improve on ditch
Apportionmcnts made by our present Board
of Commissioners. Such plea does not
touch any Of the questions rnircd Ivy the
JoURSAL's correspondents, because IL can
easily be shown that certain bitches or mp
por ionments thereon ought never 10 have
been made ~ all. Neither will it avail to
say that county commissioners nre hon.
cal, just and impartial" because "usmally
selected from among the farmers" The
same must be conceded to former Boards,
and yet we see the most astonishing dis
proportion between their estimates OF bene-
fits received, and those OF our present Board q.
Now what are the facts in the case ? II is
incumbent upon those gentlemen who seem
90 eager to apologize for the official mis-
conduct Of our commissioners, to ascertain
such facts and state them correctly, or else
confess their ignorance and want OF SINGER
ity in discussing ditch matters.
1t is evident that during the whole con-
troversy theae men have constantly Nssum-
ed certain things is true which are at va
rance with the fact and which constitute
the very subject in dispute, viz: They
hal oil ltIrhaa nnnpf
course Of construction are needed and de-
manded by the gre majority Of those Tor
whose ostensible benefit they are made ;
(2) that all those assumed are more or lers
benefited by such ditches; (3l that the
routes selected for bitches are all practici-
BILE and sufficient, aud outlets can he OBJ
tanned 10 that no damages will be done
| &C., &c.
Now all these propositions are false ns
rcgar rds certain bitches in thus part OF the
county. A certain engineer expressed the
opiniun thnt our commissioners III estab'
| fishing ditch 264 had selected an imprncti'
cable route for the water il was proposed
10 drain into il; that great sums ot money
would he expended 10 force water in di
rection where no sufficIent outlets could bC
obtained that the enterprise would have
to I've abandoned at last ON account OF the
ruinous expenses that would he incurred
T. make these outl l. Of sufficient capac
ity, aud to keep the same III repairs, &c.
Our commissioners, however, wanted
$50, 900 ditch and this, perhaps, could no
be had II other and more praciicabl'
routes had been selected for the waite
above. They had been defeated in lhei
object once or twice before, and henc
Il und il necessary TO get the Two Roo
Ditch Law passed. Under cover OF thi
special law the commissioners have iniici
ed the greatest wrongs on people IN TN
part Of the county. 1t seems perfect.

The Dickens Dramatic Club.

This popular club, which has always
been = favorite in Perrysburg, is now
stronger, MS regards members and dramatic
talent, than il has been for four years, and
is better equipped To give faiihful rendit-
ion of play than ever before.
Three new lady members have been adj
tled to the club, whose names all appear on
the programme for next Tuesday evening:
Miss CLARA HOWARD, Miss LIZZIE BEL.
MORE and Miss NELLIE KELLoG. That
these ladies' wi i'll become established favor
ties with the friends OF the club, was sui
ficiently proven by the warm recep ion
they received in South Toledo last Friday
night. The whole audience was loud in
their praise, and the club received many
congratulations on Invaluable acquisition.
Probably the most known and popular
new member the Dickens Club has the
honor to claim, is Mr.. HARRY b. WHITE,
who is already known TO Perrysburg
audience, having appeared before them in
the cause Of temperance, to which he is n
devoted adherent and powerful supporter.
Mr.. WHITE has had great deal OF expe-
| rience az nm amateur actor, and has already
assumed a poaition in the front ranks of
the Dickens forces. He joined the club
last November and will hencefoIth be
closely identified with it.
Mr.. +. r. LINDENBERoER, an old and
esteemed fayorite, who was one OF the
charter members Of the club, has returned
from Omabs, Neb.r and will once more ap-
pear and delight his audiences with his
| impersonation Of "old men" characters
in that bluff, heaVty.- and natural style 40
| peculiarly his own, and IN which specinitS
he has no peer on the amateur stage. Mr.
LINDEEBERGER's Perrysburg friends will
be glad 10 welcome him back.
Mr.. GEO. Ii. MYERS, who has been a
Dickens boy too long II time 10 require M
introduction, is still with the club. Mr.
MYERS has done excellent work in heavy
aud leading" characters, and as his pe.
culiar talent lies in that direction will
continue in that line.
Messrs. JOE X FRENCH and FRED G
ANDREWS, who, in conjunction with Mr.
LINDENBERGER, were the founders of the
club, are still as inseparably connected
with its interests as ever, and will continue
IN the future, as they have done in the
past to do all in their power to make The
entertainment u success.
The Dickens club appear at Centennia
Hall next Tuesday evening, in "rhe Litll'
Brown Jug" an excellent temperance dra
ma, aud the musical ex xtravaganza, entitled
"Whims." As our people always turn
out well for the Dickens Club. 1--WE eIpec

SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS.

In my preceding communications !
called attention to some OF the parties who
have an immediate and direct pecnniary
interest in the enactment and execution Of
Special Ditch Laws. These we have seen
are, in this county, 7 engineers, commits.
sioners, auditor, 2 printers, aud 2brokers
-15 in all. And each has his trusty
henchman.
Now, any one at all conversant with
manipulating the public mind and creating
public sentiment, is well aware that these
Is, acting in concert and secretly, can
mold a prevailing sentiment in the county,
such IN they may desire. Al have ob'erv-
ell that sometimes particular thought or
idea becomes, unexpectedly, very popular
yet the great cOmmonalily cannot tell why
it ia no they do not see the fingers which
strike the chords that vibrate throughout
the community. The operators have a
profound appreciation Of the maxim that,
ale who COY eTns most successfully does
not seem TO govern nj ALL" We had a mo-
table illustration Of this in Tilden's Print
ing Bureau OF 1875. Also at our last Re-
publican county convention when mem-
Der Uf that body, soOn as the committees
were appOin ed, stated the order in which
| the nominations WOnld be made and gave
the names Of the men who would he nOm-
mated for the respective Offices, except
that for probate Judge il would he eli her
| Hill or Reid. The result was exactly as
| lac stated il would he. The masH Of that
convention supposed they were acting nc.
cording 10 their own yolilion, when ia tact
they were mere puppets ia the hands Uf
u skilled ring. They we're governed but
did not zee the gOyernOr-were used but did
not know they were used.
So with the officers and men above re.
ferred to, whO, pcrnmbulating throughout

favor of our special ditch law, whereas a

PLEAD TnE BABY ACT.

Several years since, Evers, Of the Wood
County Sentinel desired to obtain some edu-
cation. To aid him in accomplishing his
purpose, it is s'ated that he borrowed money
from sold mar" Carr, of Minnesota, aud
gave his note therefor. This occurred
before the war. The fighting guardian ,
went TO the field Of conflict but neglected
to pay the cold man" before he left aud re-
fused to pay him after his return. The
"old man" sued him in Wood Common
Pleas Court and Evers, to avoid payment,
set up in answer the Statute of Limitations
the collection Of note in Minnesota be-
ing barred in six years. Judge Pillars, 1t
is said, over.ruled the defense and gave
judgement against the fighting guardian"
And this creature, who sought to deieat
"old man" Carr in the collection Of just
claim, prates about the integrity OF Others
lie has check sufficient to hang down TO his
shoulders.

or the judgement has been paid or not. T

The Sentinel says: "Evers had no con-
nection with a newspaper, nor ever eI-
pccled to have, when he aided in getting
up the special (ditch) law.
The first ditch law Of which we have
aRy knowledge was that relating to Rocky
Ford Creek, passed March 2Sth, 1875.
The next special Sct, and under which
hundreds are now being ruined, was passed
April 10, 1876. Had he no connection
with newspaper then, or expected to
have7 His memory must be treacherons
or his inventive powers weak or he would
not put forth the above statement to make
his readers believe that he did not aid in
getting up the special ditch law for the
purpose of putting money in hS pocket.
II our memory serves us correctly he
forced himself back in the Sentinel in 1876
with the threat Of continuing an opposition
paper, known as the Wood County Ner'.
