LEAP YEAR STATxSTICS.
Interesting Information for cums
Ladies'.

Always ready to engage in works OF
philanthropy, the JOURNAL has compiled
the following statistical and descriptive
tleman of Painesville and publishes it for
the especial benefit of those young ladies
desiring or designing to exercise their
leap year prerogatives. Although aware
that the publication OF such list is an
enterprise never undertaken By any of
our erudite and esteemed but somewhat
slow cotemporaries yet we feel certain
that it will be received with favor by
these of the fair sex who are as yet un-
mated. We even believe that it will be
found of some interest to others. While
painfully aware of the fact that the list is
not complete we feel a certain pride in
rejecting that no pains have been spared
far as facts are given we beg to assure
our fair readers that they may be relied
upon as correct. Incidentally it may be
mentioned that we have no intention of
that, therefore, all negotiations will have
to be made directly with the respective
parties selected. Below we give, with
out farther remark, the roll of honor SO
tar as prepared-hoping to enlarge it in
future issues-and modestly await the
plaudits of benefited and grateful con-
stitutency.
