An Artist Amonr the Plowmen.


We find the following interesting sketch
of worthy bachelor of Troy township
from the pen Of a contributor to the Tole-
do Erening Bee:
A flower in the woods is charm. Mr.
L. j. Dennis, of LeMoyne, Wood county,
is possessed Of the gifts of an artist of no
Indifferent rank. His delight is TO work
with water colors With his brush he can
put lily or a rose on pasteboard so true
in form and in the delicacy of its tints and
shades to the originals which the sunbeams
paint, that when placed side by side one
will almost stoop to breathe the fragrance
OF the work OF art rs we'll as the work Of
nature. In the other works of the brush
and pencil he is not inexperienced. He
has library which is not large bat is en-.
riched with choice books OF art, history,
rhetoric and intricate mathematics, Of all
Of which the owner is a student. Probably
very few private libraries in this country
outside Of Mr.. Dennis have Curtis Botun-
icul Magazine, French publication EN-
bellished with brilliant and beautiful
pictures OF the plants in the Royal Garden
OF Kew. He has ample grounds surround
ing his very comfortable frame dwelling,
and he has given special attention to beau
tfying them with rare shrubs, shade trees,
vines and plants OF other climates, which
in winter lie preserves in well-arranged
green house. The birds have a friend
in him, and in his trees and by his walks
they build their nests and greet him
with their songs. His favorite bird is the
brown or hermit thrush, whose lone, silvery
note is at once simple and seraphic. Mr..
Dennis is n bachelor, and with his books,
his easel and his grounds, his affections
are entwincd. He is modest to a degree Of
shyness. 1t will not be fair to pass him by
as an odd character. He is more than that;
and the writer takes pleasure in giving the
public this sketch OF him because neither
the towns on the Maumee, nor the farms
! that have been hewn out of the BLACK
Swamp" have his superior in natural
gifts for the painters art. There he is in
seclusion, silently producing one beautiful
picture after another in the poetry of nature
ard art, MS Burns did lyric after lyric in
| the poetry OF the soul; and this, too, in n
clearing in the woods where some of the
houses are still built of logs, some of the
mo hers go bare-footed and work in the
fields, and where the highest art is that Of
holding the plow and telling trees, and the
chief recreations are in going to the county
seat to pay taxes and sleeping on Sundays.
Mr.. Dennis is native of Pennsy lvnno,
but has lived in the eastern part of Wood
county for several years. lie is farmer
aud has the good fortune 10 own quite n
piece of land at that point where the new
railroad between Toledo and Columbus
built station called sMaumee Pike. A
portion of his farm was purchased last fall
for stave factory and lime kiln His

Fremont Journal On Tuesday morning
last, 22d, at o'clock, overseers and 800 ex'
perienced lhborers commenced the work
OF narrowing up the guage OF the Erie
Railroad from Hornelsvile to Dunkirk, n
distance including switches and sidlings
of l58 miles. 1t consisted OF moving one
rail l53 inches nearer its comrade. At
1920 the main track was shifted and ready
for use, and at 2:20 P. NJ, the sidlings and
switches were all completed and the road
thrown open for use. 1t was all accom-
plished in the short space of ten hours and
twenty minutes. What was better, the
work was not done on Sunday, IA is most
generally the case on railroad when any
important and great change is made.

Dangerous Counterfeit.

A very dangerous counterfeit OF Nation
al Bank notes are in circulation. By
means Of skeleton plates, notes can he
counterfeited OF any National Bank in the
country OF the denomination OF $780, The
counterfeit is in several respects much bet
ter than the genuine, the work on which j.
not at all we'll executed. Counterfeits
have already appeared on the National
Revere Bank, OF Boston, Mass, the Pitts
burg National Bank, Mechanics National
Bank, OF New Bedford, Mass, Pitts6eld
National Bank. of Mass, and the National
Exchange Bank, OF Baltimore Md.
The Controller of The Currency will not
as has been stated, withdraw all National
Bank notes OF the denomination Of 500
from circulation. lie, however, gives no.
tice, that no person should receive any note
Of the denomination OF 500, on either OF
the above named banks. This will result
in the withdrawal of all 500 notes from
CIRCULATION on these banks. To call in
al $lO0 National Bank notes would inter
fere very materially with the business OF

TIE DRAINAGE HUBBLE pRIcKEp.

ED. JOURNAL:-Thc irascible author OF
the Middleton Twp. drainage" bubble
seeks retreat in the righteous Indignation
dodge. lie seems very angry with the
JOURNAL because that paper has seen fit
to criticise some of his ideas. For this
reason he was ready to "bust" several
weeks ago. lie evidently Aalters himself
that the appearance of his true name in
print win prove very formidable to those
who venture to attack his ridiculous the
orics. This, however, is only in keeping
with the silly conceit that his own indi
vidual opinions can outweigh those of the
great majority of taxpayers in the county.
Now that he has relieved his mind of
its nauseating contents he ought to feel
easier and he ready to examine some of
the facts published in the JOURNAL. This
very likely, lie will decline to do because
he cannot by any means disprove or explain
away what taxpayers generally believe to
be the pain truth OF the matter.

even more marvellous is the fact that the

A Duel to the Death.

NEW YORK, May 5.-The particulars are given
OF the desperate ARRAY at Astor City, Colorado.
Chas Libb and VIM. Spelzatan, the two Swedes
had not been great while in the country and
were unaccustOmed to American manners.
They were told by some of the miners that the
only way OF settling quarrel In this state was
by the aid Of pistol. They were advised to
fight duel, and agreed to do so. Twenty-Five
feet were stepped off and the men prepared TO
fight Both men were shot In the bowels at
the first round, but they were not so disabled
as to be unable to shoot. and the duel was con.
unued until both pistols were emptied. Both
men were wounded in several places and both
died soon after the affair was ended.
