In life is that the man who differs with
you not only in opinions but in princi-
Piles, may be as honest and eincere as
yourself.

We did not see that galley Of "proof."
The Amphion Quartette, Friday
night, serenaded as sleepy set Of peo-
pie as ever were hslf-awakened by
songs on q summer night We are ever
50 much obliged, but wake US up some
way, so that next morning we may
know the music was not dream.
There were liz teams hitched about
our streets Thursday evening, bringing
mainly attendants to the Commence
ment exercises from the country. It's
estimated that they brought to town on
an average three persons each, Over
30O,-besides numbers who came in on
foot.
Sunday morning two long passen-
ger trains passed through, en- route for
Cincinnati, to be in good time for the
Democratic Convention. Liberal guam
titles of bunting and many banners dec
GRATED the cars, ON which were printed
in the largest type the prevailing senti-
ments and professions Of the Democrat
ic party.
"A grand tournament and festival Of
athletic games aud sports will be held
on the Fair Grounds at New London,
O., July 81 aud 3rd. The exercises
will consist Of running, jumping, rope
pulling, sledge throwing, and contests
of Hose and Hook & Ladder companies.
About $665 win be distributed In pre-
miums, and we hear that 1t promises to
be q success.
"A crowd of Wellington boys went
to the river, north of town, last Sunday
for q swim, taking along n liberal sup
ply of whisky on which they got glori-
ously drunk. Resides the swim they
had free fight in which James Adams
was seriously punished and Byron Gilt
ford took dive rather hastily aid un-
willingly, but without other results
than q good wetting.
The possibility of water supply
for our village is being agitated again.
One thing seems certain-Wellington
IL destined at no very distant day to
have from some source good supply of
water. The question is, where shall it
be obtained and when shall we enjoy
the use Of its We are glad to know
that some of the Council are disposed
to give this question careful consider
alton.
The homeiiest and worst tempered
variety of dog,-the villainous little
creatures with quantities of banged
hair about the eyes and mouth,-are
owned In some parts of this village
and women and children who have
once been pursued by one of these vio-
lent little beasts will avoid their neigh
borhood as they would one Infected
with smallpox. If such dogs can in
spire human affection the human mus,
love very easily.
"A few loafers and bummers in the
vestibules ofAhe Church on Commence
ment night indulged in loud talk apd
noise, creating 80 much disturbance
that those in the near vicinity were un-
able to hear the speakers. We hope II
will be remembered when another such
gathering occurs, to put one or two po-
licemen in each vestibule who can Sc
cure US against such annoyan-
ces. They coul d also do the
public a favor by Kidding us Of those
hogs in human form who stand around
the doors and chew peanuts and empty
their vile tobacco spittle on floor and
carpets for better people to wipe up
with their clothing. Any man who is
so welded to the weed that he cannot
forego its use while In public assemblies
ought to be banished from civilized So
ciety.
"A two weeks trial has shown that
in very dry and dusty time our street
sprinkler would be entirely unequal to
the work expected and required. Aid
ed by the frequent showers of the past
few days it has scarcely been able to
lay the dust, and that in q much more
limited space than was at first contem-
plated. The trouble, however, IL moi
with the sprinkler, but with the diff
Guilty of procuring supply Of water.
At the distance of one-half mile from
water . street sprinkler can not prove
a success. 1t does some poor good, how
ever, and we must now give our atten.
tion to some method of securing water
without the trouble of going half q mile
after it. VIII our city fathers again
take hold Of this matter and see If some
Of the springs lying near cannot bs
made to dow into some central part ol
the corporation where the water can be
used for village purposes.
Concert.
The Amphion Glee Club Of yelling.
ton, have been engaged by the M. E
Church Of Huntington, to give Gen.
cert for the benefit of the church, this
Thursday evening. It will make 9
nice drive for our young people and
they can hear some good music besides
Go and hear them.
