frequency of fires caused by defective

A Card.

MR.. EDrToR.-In late issue of your
paper your correspondent "Steb" from
this place said that as Mr.. Peterson the
proprietor of the Union Hotel was COM
ing home from Wellington he let bug
gy pass him that had two ladies in it,
and he having the devil in him and
watching his chance run his heavy wheel
(he did not say what kind of a wheel
whether it was buggy-wheel or a cart
wheel or a spinning-wheel or a wagon
wheel, but a "heavy" wheeD into their
hind wheel and threw them out hurting
them badly. Now, a part of that is
true, and part is as false as the old fellow
that runs the lower regions can make it.
was in Wellington some three weeks ago
and coming home by the way of Hunt
ington a horse and buggy came up be-
hind me with the wish TO pass. l turned
aside for them and they passed, then
went very slow until new idea came
into their minds, when they whipped
their horse very hard and crossed right
in front of my horses heads. They
turning so quick and using the whip SO
freely, the hind wheel of their buggy
caught on top of my horses neck. l
stopped my team righted up their buggy
and put in their things that were thrown
out. OF course they were tumbled out
but not hurt, for have it from those
to whom they told it that they said they
felt some sore, that was all. Now be 1t
understood that was in a sleigh and it
was behind the horses not in front of
them and even had I been on wheels
how then could have hitched my wheel
on theirs and hung it up on the top Of
my horses heads. Don't you see it could
not be donee He further said that /
drove on, not looking back to see whether
they were hurt or not. They don't say
so, but "Steb" does. Now what became
of the buggy-wheel in that case. What
strenuous efforts some people will make
to tell the truth. "Oh, Consistency, thou
art jewelr' Now, Mr.. Editor, have
given you and your readers the plain, un-
vanished truth of that little episode.

Dairy Matters.

Would it not be good plan to require
the publication of reports of cheese
factories? If the patrons at their spring
meetings would vote that report of
the factories be published at the close
of the season the factorymen would
know that their work would 60 on rec
ord, and they would strive to make a
better showing for the patrons. This
would have no effect on the good facto-
rymen and the quicker the poor ones are
weeded out the better.-IChagrin Falls
Exponent.
A New York factory cheesemaker, in
the manufacture Of sage cheese, uses
one and quarter pounds of dry sage to
a thousand pounds of milk. Boiling
water is poured upon the sage and then
it is stepped well. The tea Is then ad1ed
to each vat. One vat he colors with the
Juice of bean leaves. The same pro-
cess is then used as i'm making the col

From all paris of the country reports come
of the immense sales and increasing demand
for that deservedly popular Sewing Machine,
The Old and Reliable "STANDARD." )" the price
of which the proprietors wisely reduced to
$40 including all the attachments, and at
once secured for them popularity among
the people, far beyond that attained by any
other machine at any price, the consequence
of which is, agents are leaving the old high
priced machines, and seeking territory for
the "SrANDARD." Knowing from exper-
fence that with the best goods at the lowest
price they can outsell all other machines,
where the superior quality and low price Is
made known This splendid machine CON-
bines all the improvements. Is far ahead OF
ali Others in beauty and durability Of its
work, ease of management, light running
and certainty of operation, Is sensibly made
upon sound principles, with positive work
ing parts all steel, and can be safely put
down as the very perfection OF a serviceable
sewing machine, in every particular, that
will outlast any machine, and at q price Tar
down below any other. II Is thoroughly
warranted for five years. Kept In order free
of charge. And sent to any part OF the
country for examination by the customer
before payment of the bill. We can predict
equally as large demand for them in this
section as in others. Families wishing the
best machine manufactured should write d.
rect to the Factory, and enterprising persons
wishing to seize the chance should apply for
SO desirable an agency. See advertisement

The COurt-HOuse Q uestion.

ED. ENTERPRIsE.-We see that the
subject of building a new courthouse in
our county is being pretty thoroughly
agitated. If our memory serves us right
the same subject was agitated some thir-
ty OF thirty-five ears ago to some extent
and also that of the removal OF the
county seat, and as usual in such matters
different opinions were expressed as to
whether il rebuilt it should not go to
Oberlin as more central location. 1t was
then thought that the building was
good one and that 1t would be folly and
an unnecessary expense to take it down,
and also that the taxes were then all that
could be borne, which idea prevailed, the
subj ect was dropped and the enterprise

are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill n day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
orous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter of 4 century, and
have obtained a worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are SO
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely withstand or
evade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baffiet the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. BY their aperient action
they gripe much less than the common
purgativcS, and never give pain when
the bowels are not infiamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freezing
it from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are Costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part There is
generally considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
tion of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DIR. c. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.

Republican State Convention

By direction of the State Central Com
mite, the next Republican Stste Con-
vention will be held in the city of Gin
cinnati, Wednesday, May Goth,
1879.
The Convention will nominate candid
ates for s-.
Governor,

shall be fairly represented in the State
Convention, and that as far as possible,
the County Central Committees be ap-
pointed at the same time that delegates
TO the State Convention are chosen if
they have not been appointed before.
The Basis of Representation in the
Convention will be one delegate to every
five hundred votes cast for Milton
Barnes for Secretary of State in
1878, and one additional delegate for
any fraction of two hundred and fifty
votes and upward in each county. This

HUNTINGTON. MARCH z, 1871

HUNTINGTON, MARCH Z, 1917.
MIR. EDIToR.-The reasons given by
your correspondent "E. G." in favor of
q new courthouse are conclusive, but the
location or site proposed is not quite so
clear. As stated a very perceptible
change has taken place in the county du-
ing the last fifty years. At the time the
county was organized Elyria was the
most central point as to population
and business, but now it is altogether too
much on one side. The public interest
and convenience demand that the coun-
ty-seat be removed to q more central
point. The subject has been discussed by
citizens of the south part of the county
for many years and Oberlin concluded
upon as the proper place. The yelling
ton people would no doubt be highly
pleased, as would the people of this and
adjoining townships to have it at Wei
lington, but the same Objections would
arise that do against Elyria Of being too
remote from the central part of the
county. When the subject was agitated
many years since the principal argument
on the then valuable county buildings.
That objection no longer exists. 1t is
reported that the people of Oherlin pro-
pose 10 give uoeral BUN ou Couoiiiou
that the new courthouse be built there.
Possibly little self interest may have
its influence in prompting the offer, but
of the kind not necessarily immoral. 1t
is very common in towns and cities to
make similar propositions to influence
tAAlae>.io..- ef -f,..slie -bs.ilAi-s--~-a- Ia
appears very sure that If time is given
to present the subject before the voters
Of the county in all its bearings, new
eighty-five or hundred thousand dollar
courthouse can be built without levying
any direct tax or using that already
raised. If any attempt is made to rush
the matter let the people vote against the
tax until full and fair expression can
be had in regard to the location.
F.
The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1879-03-20

abandoned. But now we all concede
that q new courthouse in Lorain county
is necessary and the question with many
of US is, "Where shall it be locatedf" In
Cincinnati when they built their new
post office they located 1t in that part Of
the city which would pay the most to-
ward its construction, determined by the
votes Of the people. In other places
where new buildings become necessary,
they have done the same thing, and es-
pecially where one proposed site was
equally as commodious and central as
another. Now it is wellknown fact
that Oberlin is much nearer the geo.
graphical center of Lorain county than
Elyria, and then the moral atm ospherc
of Oberlin compared with that Of Elyris
is quite q consideration in the location
of county buildings. Elyria is quite ia
nous for saloons and groggeries. We
understand that Oberlin offers thirty or
thirty five thousand dollars for the court
house and southern Lorain will contrib
ute nobly for the location at Oberlin. We
think it would be we'll to give the peo-
pie of the two different sections q chance
to manifest their individual interested
ness in this matter. If Oberlin csn give
thirty-five thousand dollars what will
Elyria givef While we are writing a
neighbor comes in and says: ''Oberlin is
much more central than Elyris," and
proves it by facts and figures. Consult
ing the map we find that he is right.
But some will say that the Jail is in Elyr-
ia and that the courthouse and the Jail
should be near each other. We think we
need a new Jail fully as much as we do q
new courthouse. Elyria has more than
once been burglaTized by Jail birds
breaking in upon them from the Jail.
We have head many from the differ
ent towns in the southern part of the
county speak upon this subject, and all
express themselves much pleased with
the idea of having the county seat in a
more central location. We are aware
that there are some even in Wellington
who have been lovingly button-holed by
the good people of Elyria, and others
who may be aspirants to Office and ex-
pect big boost from the north-very
likely have been promised it, who will
not favor our proposition, but we think
they will be the exception, not the rule.
We think if this matter is attended to
and comes fairly before the
public, and the above proposition is &C.
ceded to, we can build the courthouse
and Jail at Oberlin and not draw upon
that idle fifty thousand dollars.
