The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-07-10
The tramp business is gradually be-
coming less and less attractive. Theyig-

orous law passed by he late Ohio Legis
lature, making tramping an offence pun
ishable with Imprisonment, has robbet
the vocation of many of its charms, ant
will doubtless have the effect OF inducin,
many of those who had adopted vagran
life as a profession to reconsider theirde
termination, and in future turn their at
tention to some more commendable meth
cd of securing their living, which, pro
verbally, the world owes to every man.
1t is important that the Mayor of eacf
city, town and incorporated village il
Ohio should know that a law passed by
our Legislature March 21st, last, makes
it the duty of such officers to notify the
owner or keeper of any inn or public
house to provide ladders or fire escapes
for their buildings, and place the same
where they will be of easy access to lodg
ers. The penalty for neglect or refusa
to comply with such notice isa fine o
from fifty to three hundred dollars fol
each month of failure or neglect.
Two of our young men of Eaton were
brought before the Mayor on Saturday
last, charged with disorderly conduct II
front of the Reichel House on the night
of the Sd inst, and were each fined s.
and costs and ordered to stand commit
ted until fine and costs were paid or Sc
They gave security and were re-
leased. The same day Marshal Ryan
arrested John Mandy, of Camden, forb be-
ing drunk on the streets, and he shared
the same fate as the former. We under
stand several more in town will be bro't
up for offences committed about the 4th.
That is right. If people cannot conduct
themselves decently our authorities will
receive the commentator Of all good cit
by enforcing the law.
The immense services rendered the
country in the late Southern rebellion,
by the pismire ofthe Camden "Dishrag,"
has evidently deranged him, if he was
not born an idiot. Let him be examin-
ed, and if it was really his prodigious
military services in that Unpleasant
ness" that has afflicted him with imbe-
he deserves to be placed on the re-
tired list with good pay, or else should
be provided with comfortable quarters in
some lunatic Asylum at the expense OF
his suffering country. In the language
of a contemporary of powerful arithme-
tic' intellect, there is nothing mean
about the" DEMOCRAT, and II the poor
fellow can worry through the dog days
without being shot Tor having the hydro
we will agree to do what we can
with our Democratic Congress at their
next session, to provide for him IN his
condition, Now, hubby, do try
md keep quiet, for we propose to pay
40 more attention to your senseless
'shog-wash," but leave you to wallow IN
t, as it seems to be your native element.

The lawn festival given last Thursday
evening, by the ladies of the Presbyte-
church, on the beautiful grounds of
the residence of Elan Fisher, Esq, was
one which brought unfeigned pleasure to
all concerned. AS the shades of evening
Drew On. the RAYS Of the silyery moon APP
reared and amid the trees shone num-
Chinese lanterns of many hues. A
number of tables stood on the lawn, COW
cred with snowy cloths, and attended by
fair maidens who were ever ready to
bring to their guests generous slices OF
delicious cake, and supplies OF arctic Ice
cream. While these pleasures were CIV
en- to the palate, the sweet harmonles o.
music from the band toated upon the
summer air, and the eye was charmed
with the whole scene which reminded
one of the delights OF fairy tales. The
