From SCOTCH RIDGE.

FRIEND T1MkoNs The enthusiasm in
favor of the two excellent candidates for
President and Vice President Of our glori-
Gus Republic-Gens Garfield and Arthur
runs high at the Ridge, and in fact new
er since the election OF Abraham Lincoln
to that most exholted position has there a
man been presented by the Republican
party which so entirely wins the confidence
and admiration of all classes as does the
name of Gen. Garfield.
The only hope can see for our Wool
Hat friend, "Gridiron," is in the faint
glimmer that may shine through the
Rackabone, tumble.down log cabin Of the
Democratic concerr-the Cincinnati Con-
vention--and the sickly hopes of Grants
friends 10 bring him before that Conven-
tion.
While in Pemberville on Saturday, the
18th, | chanced to call into the popular
hardware and agricultural establishment
of Lake s. Cable, where found everything
fairly booming, and where preparations
were being made for grand moving ma
chine parade in the after part OF the day,
wherein the following named farmers OF
Wood county were to participate, they hav-
ing all purchased either Newer or a
Reaper and some of them one Of each
[rhe names having the figure . set oppo.
site indicate their having bought ma.

The whole number of machines was 33,
and only 9 of the same were sold to par
ties outside of Freedom twp. The parade
took place at about 3 o'clock P. ~, the
procession forming at the depot aud taking
its course through the most prominent
streets OF the village, after which The ener-
gelic salesman, Mr.. Lake, set out two kegs
or more of beer, and " "gillOrious " time
followed Chin music was the most prom
inent and leading feature. Would also
add that this firm disposed OF sulky hay
rakes on the same day, 10 say nothing of
the numerous other articles OF lesser signi-
ficance sold by them. This large sale Of
reapers and mowers, hay rakes, &c, not
only speaks well for the thrift aud enter
prise of Messrs. Lake & Cable, but also
loresh adOws the coming OF II most bOunti-
ful harvest as we'll as thrift and prosperity
among farmers.
After tile installation services on Tues
day of last week, Rev. Joseph Cuss, Of
Northwood, Ohio, remained here TO assist
Rev. Caldwell in the communion services
on Sabbath. He preached nearly every
day and evening during the balance of the
week, as also Sabbath and Sabbath eve
ming. The audiences were very large and
attentive and the speaker man Of bril-
liant attainments and most elegant ex-
FOUNDER of the scriptures, On Sabbath
nearly $50 persons partook of the sacra
ment of the Lords Supper at this church,
nearly all being members of the U. L. Con-
gregation in this place, Il limited number
from other congregations being present.
The agents for "Alf. Wilson's Adven-
lures" in this township, | am informed,
have sold >nearly 80 copies of that book.
Three or four times that number would
not have supplied the demand had not SO
many already read the sketches as pub
in the Sentinel.
Have been solicited by citizens to write
up sketch of the DEVILS Hole =" coun
try, and may comply at my convenience,
provided YOUR columns are open for the
same. Your readers may, possibly, have
curiosity upon the question 30 often asked
"W here is the DEVILS Hole, and why if
it so-called, and what kind of place is
it?" Yours Truly, ALLsPIcE.
