feminent respectability and therefore are

merous friends.

we are informed, has bought Mr.. George
A. Lysle's stock of goods and the prop

Young Dick Bishop, late Assistant
Governor of Ohio under your Uncle
Dick. got into row one night last week
on an Ohio river steamer below Cincin-
natl. The boat was not crowded and the
ex-assistant of Uncle Dick, was in good
condition to be social, so he struck mp an
acquaintance with Pittsburgh moulder
and soon conversation turned on the re-
cent prize fight. The discussion waxed
warm, then hot, until the iron-worker
resorted to hammering Dick with beer
mug, whereupon the young Governor
loosed himself from the clutches of the
stalwart moulder and whipped out re-
volver and fired upon his assailant,
wounding him in the forearm. OF
course the trouble created some excite
ment, but both parties went their re-
spectiye ways without the interference
of the minions of the law.

The Spring Elections.

On the first Monday of next month,
April, the municipal and township cleo
tions will be held in the towns and town
ships of Ohio. Many electors, and even
those who are anxious for good local
and general government, are apt to es-
TEEN these elections where the minor
Offices are filled, of little Importance, and
in consequence fail to perform their du-
ties as citizens. A little thought should
disabuse the mind of such opinions and
convince anyone that the minor civil
positions which are the nearest to the
people should receive the careful consid-
Grafton of the most intelligent and fair.

where abuses frequently begin, and the

and shiftless. So in an equal degree the

being the case. is it not of the greatest
Importance that the sovereign people
interest themselves in the selection of
the minor officers chosen at the Spring
elections? We invite the attention of
our readers to a candid consideration of
the Importance of the mstters suggested
and hope to chronicle an increased in

While the steam ship Newport, which

q few weeks ago, she ran among an i'm
nense school of whales. Such sight
Captain Sundberg says he never saw be-

felt a shock. The vessel had struck one
Of the whales. AS she did so the whale
threw up Its fiukes, aud perfect delnge
of water was thrown over the bow.
The Newport is an iron steamer, an
she cut the whale completely in two.
The passengers saw the head come up
on one side, and the tail-part on the
other. When the sew cred head came
up il shot six feet into the air. Every
body on board was thundersiruck Ten
minutes later the Newp5rs struck and
killed another whale. The sea was red

we believe that woman was

created to be a burden to man,
When we hear a young man
talking in that way we always
conclude that his girl has gone
back on him, or that the ladies
have been too smart for him
in some respect. But we are
proud to know that this doc

Woman, by her perseverance
and energy, has raised herself
to the elevated position which
