Never before in the history of our
county has the treasurer paid cash for
its orders. Read the notice in another
column calling in all orders issued
prior to Oct, 1880. I. L. Mosher is
the only treasurer this county has ever
had that has done this. Why a
changer Merely to crafty Office seek
ers. No, never, our people are too
we'll pleased with "Honest Ike" Let
well enough alone.

The following report from London
to the Chicago Ne,oS, on the Goth,
inst. Shows how the feeling is across
the water. It says: The situation in
Ireland is becoming more exciting
hourly, and it seems now as though
the long-threatened general uprising OF
tie people was near at hand. The
bitter feeling against the British Gov
eminent is now more general than ever,
the better classes, as we'll as the meas
ants, feeling that little justice may be
expected at its hands. On the other
hand the Times and other London
papers are urging the Gladstone Minis
try to take decisive action in Ireland,
and some Of the suggestions offered
show that the feeling against Ireland
in the hearts of the upper classes OF
Eng land is as bitter, as unrelenting,
and, at times, as savage, as it was a
century ago. The Times wants Glad
stone to strike blow that will forever
put an end to the Irish trouble. What
this means England will understand.
The Times does not advise the hang
ing of the Land-League leaders openly
but its language plainly points to such
a course as the only proper one. Some
Of the landlord organs are in favor of
a general massacre that will strike ter
ror into the souls of the tenant classes.
and make them respect the G overn-
ment and the aristocracy.
Parnell's severe attack on Forster,
Secretary of State for Ireland, has
given great offense to the English
It was one Of the most CALLING rebukes
that a British Cabinet officer ever
writhed under since the days of
O'Connell
The papers here this morning an
nounce that cable messages have been
sent to Irish leaders in America, eau
tioning the latter against making any
movement until the first blow is struck

this statement, then it is plain that
the Government is keeping watchtul

Frank Pomainyille has built a new
walk in front Of his premises, needed
improvement. Now the walk should
be continued on the way down to R.
Lyons shop. Who ever owns that
property should see to replacing the
old walk with new. The cost will be
only trivial and the benefit to the
public will be great. Let our city
fathers investigate this little matter
and have it done.

thorough knowledge of the office, and
universal excellence as an impartial
and always accommodating officer, will
be reelected by good round major
ity.
For Co. Treasurer we have
HONEST OLD Ike
as the boys call him. In his hands
the finances Of the county will be alb
solutely safe. We have no desire to
make any disparaging illusions to Mr.,
Arpin, Mr. Mosher's competitor but
it is only proper to say that for this
office, we want man who can dis
charge the duties of the office in per-
son, and one who is in every way COM
petent. Such man is I. t. Mosher
We can not say so much of Mr.. Ar
pin,
For Regist er of Deeds the Republi-
can party made very wise selection.
Mr.. CHRISTENSEN
is one of the best men in the county.
and is worthy of every vote He has
been misrepresented by one of the
candidates opposing him, which we
hope will not tend to his discontinue,
but rather to an increased vote since
the public are finding out the facts
Let Mr.. Christensen have the united
republican vote Of Wood Co. and he
will be elected.
For Clerk of the Circuit Court we
have
r. i. Bronson,
one Of the best and most competent
men in the county. A long expert
ence in law matters makes him partic-
ularly desirable man for the position.
For Dist. Attorney
VI. il. w 1LLlAMS
is entitled to the vote of every man
who desires to see this responsible Of
fee filled by a man of brains and
principle. Mr. Williams is known to
our people having been Supt of
Schools in which capacity he won the
esteem of all our people.
The party placed no man in position
for Sheriff, choosing rather to leave
the selection of fit person to that po-
sition, to the wise choosing of the
people. The contestants are Mr. Ed.
Wheelan and Mr.. Phil Ward. Our
people know that Mr.. Ward has made
good officer in the past, and that he
dared to maintain the peace and digni-
fy OF our cities at time when lawless
men would have overrun the law but
for the stamina and determination of
Mr.. Ward and his principal. We be-
lieve Mr. Ward will be elected bv a
good majority.
For Co Surveyor we have no candi-
date. Mr.. Gordon positively declined
the position as he has better thing
on the line of the Central railroad, and
therefore there will be no opposition to
Mr.. Scott who is in every way desi-
rable man for the place.
Give Henry Osterman your vote for
Coroner. If duty calls, Henry will
fill the bill every time
Our County ticket is an excellent
one and should be elected by decisive
majority. Give one day to the work
az Tue polls and the day will be won.

THURSDAY. OCT. %, 1880.
The Candidates.

Next Tuesday the voters of Wood
County must determine at the ballet
box who they will have for their ser
wants for the coming two years. Their
decision will not be one of trivial mo-
ment, but one rather, fraught with re-
sponsibilities it were well to consider
with a deal of solicitude. We want
good capable men-men who are hon
est and trustworthy in every particu-
lar, for to their keeping is to be en-
trusted the vital interests of the coun-
ty. which means individual interests
always.
The record of Wood County in the
early years of its organization is not
one to be gazed upon with very much
of pride, and all because It's officers
were venal, and corruption and official
deviltry stalked boldly at midday.
Later our county has redeemed her
self and cleansed her draggled skirts,
and every man who has a heart is glad
and rejoices. Let US see to it that we
keep to the channel we have been
sailing in, and the future will be Sc

THE CIRCUS PARADE.

The circus The circus The throb of the drums
And the blaro of the horns as the band-wagon
comes
And the clash and the clang of the cymbals that
beat
As the glittering pageant winds dewn the long
street
In the circus parade there is glory clear down
From the first spangIed horse to the mule Of the
clown;
And the gIeam and the glitter and glamour and
glare
OF the days of enchantment are glimmering there.
For here are the banners Of silyery old
Caressing the wind with their fringes Of gold.
And their high ifted standards with spcar-tips
aglow,
And the heImetcd knights that 90 riding below.
Here's the chariot wrought Of that marvellous she'll
The sea gave to Neptune, first wishing it well
With its fabulous waters Of gold till it CLEANS
Like the gaIleon rare Of an Argonaut's dreams
And the elephant, too with his undulent stride,
That rocks the high throne OF king in his pride,
That in jungles OF India shook from his nanks
The tiger that leaped from the Juiubcc banks
Here's the long, ever changing, mysterious line
OF cages with hints of their glory divine,
From the little barred windows, cut high in the
rear,
Where the close-hidden animals noses appear.
Here's The pyramid car, with the splcndor and
fash.
And the goddess above in a futtering sash
And pen-wiper dress; Oh. the rareSt o. sights
Is this Queen in the Air in cerulean tights.
Then the far away clash of the cy1nbaIs and then
The swoon Of the tune ere it wakens again,
And the capeTing tones of the gallant cornet
That go dancing away in mad minUet.

y STRANGE DREAM.-Nine years ago VII
liam Carter, of Canisteo dreamed that he was
out with party hunting for game and that
he struck into a little ravine where some
pheaSants flew up. In his hurry to yet a shot
at them he became entangled in the bushes
and thorns, which scratched his face and
hands terribly. After getting through the
bushes he came to a white stone. which was
full of marks, and after time he discovered
in his dream fifty barrel flowing oil well.
The second night the dream was repeated.
and on the third night he dreamed the same
thing. Yet not being believer in dreams.
he said nothing about it except to a few
friends. The oil theory was not booming as
1t Is now. Three years after this strange
dream he was out hunting with a party ON
Benefits creek, four or five miles south of
CaniSteO. All at once he came upon some
bushes aud in his hurry scratched his hands
and face considerably. The. game was gone
In an instant, but after getting through the
bushes he saw the white stone he had seen
three years before, and told his friends there
was oil there, and that it would some time be
revealed Mr.. Carter went to the Western
Territories and was absent some time. but
could not forget the dream lie afterward
returned and has been engaged with his faith
er and brothers in the foundry and machine
shop in CanIsteo. Two years ago, when the
men from Bradford came to drill an oil well
here, the first place located was within iftv
rods of the spot described i'm the dream. hut
through some flaw in the lease they saye mn
the site and came near the village and drilled
the We'll our readers have heard so much
about. On Monday last several sharehold-
erS with officers Of the new company went to
Bennett's creek to locate the new well, and
nearly all gave in a favorable opinion of To-
cation which proves to BE within fiftv wards
of the white stone. Mr.. Carter was not in
the party, but me is The man who las the con

RUSSIAN RAILwAYs.-In Russia the rail
ways are so many separate thread lines, no
network being formed. Thus two lines are
mstanced which run parallel to each other for
nearly five hundred miles and have no con
nection, The result is that to get from one
town to another almost in the same latitude
a long journey north has to made and then
return to the SOUTH the two sides of the tri-
angle between Tzaritsyn, on the Volga, and

hundred and fifty miles, while as the crow

BRADY's LEAP.-About the year 1880,
party of whites, under Captain Samuel Bra
dy, pursued a marauding party OF Indians to
their village ,on the Cuyahoga, in Summit
county but, being surprised and put to flight
by the enemy, by some means Brady became
separated from his party, and was in turn
pursued by the whole band of savageS. Ap-
preaching the rocky chasns of the Cuyahoga
river, and realizing that his life depended on
the leap, he concentrated his whole strength,
and cleared the clasm 10y a single leap. At
the point where the leap was made the shelly
ing rocks OverhUng the river, and made the
width of the channel twenty-one or twenty
two feet Struck dumb with amazement, it
was some time before the pursuers collected
thought enough to fire upon him, and then
strike for the ford, some distance below
Wounded, and profusely bleeding, Brady ran
To the lake which BeaIs his name and eluded
his enemies by secreting himself in the wa
ters of the lake. Chagrined at the escape of
their expected captive, the Indians returned
to the scene of the leap, and after consulta-
ton decided that the "pale-face" was no man
but a turkey. and that he flew across the
stream As q record of this decision a ruGe
representation of turkeys foot was carved
on the rock from which the leap was made.
In 1856 the stone bearing this inscription was
quarrieG, but a block containing the figure
was preserved, and removed 10 Pittsburgh.
