HOW TO Do 1T,
A Capital Reference Of Present and
Future Interest, and the Little
Trouble to Secure it.

A handy thing indeed to have in the
house will be the special edition of the
B. & O. Red Book, now in course of
preparation The surprising results of
this years elections all over the country
make a most interesting study when pre-
sented in shape for ready comparisons.
OF more or less interest just now in con-
trasting the past and the present. the fu-
ture as calculated from 1.-The might have
been" will prove an all absorbing occu-
patton to very many people.
In the new Red Book, which will bear
the cleverly adapted title of How Twas
Done,' all the figures are from official
sources, being received under the seal of
the secretaries of the different States, and
therefore correct beyond question. The
comparisons and calculations generally
are made by experienced statisticians,
and may be depended upon as accurate.
The scope of the little volume is some
thing more than ever before attempted
in political text book, going much farther
into details and summing up facts more
concisely than the ordinary run of such
publications. About everything that one
wishes to know is presented clearly and
intelligently. The comparisons of the
vote of this year with the vote at the pre-
ceding election are full and complete,
showing not only majorities but losses
ana gains on Republican, Democratic.
Prohibition and Greenback vote. Where
States have been redistricted congression-
ally, the comparisons are made in dis
tricts as now constituted, and in the re-.
marks all the changes in districts are
shown, as well as very much interesting
data relative to candidates., etc., etc.
The book will be an invaluable refer
ence for use at coming elections, and
those who take any interest whatever in
politics should adopt means to secure a
copy now, as possibly when they want it
most the edition will be exhausted. The
mere trouble of inditing request to G..
K. Lord, Baltimore. Md, will insure the
receipt of copy of the book, as no charge
whatever is made for it. Already very
large number of requests have been re-
ceived, and envelopes are being addressed
as requests come in, so that the books
may be forwarded Immediately upon re-
ceipt from the printer. No publication
of similar character can be procured for
money.
Like all the B. & o. publications, it
will be a gem from typographical stand
point. AS an indication of the value of
the work, quite number of prominent
newspaper publishers have requested suf-
ficient number of copies to send to their
entire list of subscribers at their own ex-
pense. ANY subscriber or patron of this
paper will have copy of the book sent
him by forwarding his address, as hith-
erto stated, to Mr.. Lord, at Baltimore.

The United Bretheren Church three
miles south Of this place was dedicated to
the worship of God on Sunday, the 26th of
November, 1882, by Rev. w. A. Keesy, of
Fostoria, o. Notwithstanding the snow
storm that fell on Saturday night there
was reasonable congregation both in the
morning and evening. The real cost of
the house is 81 OPS, the sum OF $3.50 was
then called for to liquidate the remaining
Indebtedness and to make the necessary
repairs around the church. We secured
in cash and on good subscription 1922. The
Trustees assuming the remainder. The
house was then formerly and solemnly
given to God by reading part of the
eighth chapter of First Kings, and in hum
BILE and tervent prayer. The congregation
all united in singing "Praise God from
whom all blessings tiow." Iwish to say
Mr.. Editor that we now have very neat
little chapel, % by 40 feet, with l6 foot
story. The house is very neatly finished
within and without. We wish through
the medium of your most worthy paper
to express our gratitude to you and all
those kind donors for their liberal con-
tributions. There will be regular services
every Sunday morning at 1890. All are
invited. d. w. DOwNEY.

A MARCH MONSTER
In the Shape OF Terrific storm Pre-
dietpd.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-The President
has the following communication, from
Prof. E. F. Stone Wiggans, L. L. D., as.
tronomer of the Ca' hdian finance depart
ment, under date If Ottawa. November
25th:
ION the 23d cf September last / an
nounced through the Canadian press that
great storm would occur in March next;
that it would first be felt in the Northern
Pacific, and would appear in the Gnlf of
Mexico on the night Of the eth, and be-
ing DETECTED by the Rocky mountains,
would cross this meridian from the west
at noon, SUNDAY, March 18th, 1e88 No
vessel. whatever her dimensions. will be
safe out of harbor, and none of the
smaller tonnage can hope to survive the
tidal wave and the fury of this tempest.
As the wind will blow from the south
east the planetary force will be sufficient
to submerge the low lands of the Ameri-
can coast, especially those bordering on
the Gulf of Mexico, and washed by the
Gulf Stream. where the air currents for
several hundred miles along the east side
of the Rocky mountain range. owing to
the great atmospheric pressure in those
regions. will spread universal destruc-
ton. The New England States wi also
suffer from the wind and floods. No
point outside of the harbor in the whole
area of the Atlantic, and especially north
of the equator, will be a place of safety,
for this will be pre-eminently the great
est storm that has visited this continent
since the days of your illustrious first
President. In view of this event, there
fore, take great liberty in representing
to your Excellency the advisability of
ordering all United States ships into safe
harbors not later than March 5, until this
storm be passed."

Our agreeable friend, Judge McCauley,
ran against post over at Fostoria, one
dark night last week, in his hurry to
catch a train. Now that post was good
deal larger than the Judge, and it pre-
sented one of those peculiar kind of de-
murrers that the court couldn't overrule
with leave to answer instanter. So he
picked himself up and made motion to
quash the whole d-n town, including
Charley Foster and Martin Kingseed.-
Now, if it had been an ordinary post, the
Judge would have gone through it with
out disturbing his usual equanimity but
as it was huge saw-log on end, ,ornamen-
ted with Look out for the Locomotive" !"
the Judge suddenly took rest under its
shadow. Now wag in Fostoria has so
mutilated that sign that instead of read
ing, "Look out for the Locomotive" it
says'"LOok out for the Judge" We are
glad to be able to say, however, that our
worthy friend, McCauley, is but slightly
injured, and that in few days he will
be all right. The Judge need not feel
bad about it. He can consol himself
with the beatifio reflection that he amt
the only man in the world who ever run
against post. So long as man doesn't
run against covered wagon, he can al-
ways hold his face toward Zion. .-Wyan-

A Washington paper, in speaking of
the array of talent in the next House,
thus speaks of Ohio: "From Ohio will
come Frank Hurd, who has free trade
hobby, but is a man of undoubted abiIi-
ty. During his former service in the
House he was recognized as the ablest
orator in the body and took front rank
among the legal minds Of the House.
Converse, of the Columbus district, is a
shrewd man and hard worker. His
parliamentary skill is admitted. and in
certain contingencies he might become a
formidable candidate for the Speaker
ship. Geddes, who made remarkable
run. wlping out Republican majority
of $500 and himself elected by 1,500 ma
jority, is valuable working member.
LeFevere and Hill have both had much
Legislative experience, and will do good
work. Follet and Jordan from the Gin.

from their regulations much is expected

A little fellow from one of our charita-

Jersey farm by an agent, the owners of
the farm having had the boy bound" to
them for a term of years, when the
agent noticed that the boy kept placing
his hand inside his jacket on the left
side, and occasionally would peep within
with tender look. At last he said,
'what have you got in there, my little
friend?" ''Oh, nothing, sir" he replied;
'only bit of my mothers dress, which
I've sewed on my coat; it was the dress,
she had on when she died, and now il
kind of comforts me to touch it."-Hd.
