XOur artist w. F. saw,ell spares no pains
10 keep fully up with the times In all the
improvements in his art, and we are glad to
be able to say truthfully that his pictures are
not excelled even by the most pretentious
city artists. His business is constantly in
creasing, showing again that energy and con-
scieatious work will in the long run win rec
ognition.
We have received another card from
Spencer contradicting the account given by
Mr.. Peterson, and saying that the girls pro-
pose to prosecute him for tipping them over.
We do not publish it as both size have now
been heard from, and our experience teaches
that 1t Is not best to continue such contro-
versy to any length. II the matter goes into
court we shall take pleasure in publishing
the result.
III. wadsworth & Son have their engine
and other machinery all in running order
and commenced work on Monday OF this
week. Everything works like charm, and
any custom work desired of them will be
promptly done. They will keep and furnish
to order, doors, sash, blinds etc, etc. gen.
eral assortment Of building and furnishing
with the best qualities Of lumber.
We called on ]. W. Wilbur OF Wellington,
and found him up and doing. He has one
Of the finest stocks Of stoves and tinware we
have seen in our travels, and is manuiactur-
ing vats and milk cans in large quantities
and is shipping to Indiana, Missouri and
Kansas. He also has large home trade In
all kinds of dairy goods of which he makes
q speciality. He is a liberal minded man and
has many friends. We think Wellington Is
blest with the finest business men we have
met in q great many years. TRAVELLER.
Mr. Seth Arnold returned last week from
California where he has spent the winter.
He looks somewhat Drowned but Is well and
happy. He left the most beautiful spring
weather, or perhaps more like early summer,
and was landed after a weary ten days jour
ney in Wellington which was covered with
snow and mud, searched by chilling winds,
and presenting such scenes Of discomfort
and misery ss only an Ohio March can. 1t
was a terrible coming down to Seth's feelings
and must have made him homesick, but wait
awhile and we will show you what Ohio can
do, in the way Of fine weather.
/NThe vocal and instrumental concert given
last week under the auspices of the NJ. E.
church Social Union, may be pronounced an
unqualified success. Between four and five
hundred people were present, partly owing
no doubt to the low price of admission and
largely to the intercstfelt in our home talent.
The programme was entirely free from OBJ
jectionable selections and most Of the mu-
sic was of q high order and would have
done credit to more pretentious performers.
We have not space to particularize, but all
did we'll and perhaps exceeded expectation.
The audience generally were better enter
tanned than with many foreign troupes that
cost three times the money. Some of the
solos and duets deserve special praise for the
purity of tone and delicacy of execution,
and the instrumental music could hardly be
excelled. The very low price Of admission,
10 and Is cents, prevented large receipts, but
the proceeds after deducting expenses were
over $50,
Not least among the attractions of a well
arranged dwelling or church is the furniture.
Skill and taste can be as successfully display
ed here ss in the design of the building itself.
The Congregational Society, as in many 9TH
er items which we shall mention herafter, has
been peculiarly fortunate in their pulpit fur
uiture. The three chairs for the rostrum,
one large, two smaller, are of very elegant
design and unlike any other we have ever
seen. The material Is walnut handsomely
veneered and upholstered with very heavy
maroon satin. making them truly "things OF
beauty" The table for communion SER
vice and the two accompanying chairs are of
the Queen Anne style and in keeping with
the other articles. But the pulpit has espec-
ial attractions for US. The design is entirely
new and is 6 model Of elegance. 1t is also
Of walnut veneered and worked in panels,
mouldings and brackets, upholstered with
silk maroon plush The design and execu-
ton are the work Of Mr.. G. L. Couch whose
reputation as O skilled artist in his depart
ment, Is by this one specimen securely es-
tsblished. The pulpit is made to inclose a
mammoth ear trumpet reaching down
through the floor and by tubes gradually di-
minishing in size branching off to half doz-
en- different seats, coming up in a corner of
each seat and terminating in a flexible tube
for the use of a few of the older members
this device which is a patent, was mutually
shared bv six persons, three of whom have
gone TO their final rest since the church
uilding was begun. All the work is from
the shop Of A. G. & G. L. Couch and speaks
great praise for their taste and skill and 1t
will pay the visitor to call at their rooms and
examine 1t
