throng at the blacksmith shop has not
been known since | came to this town.
This is the year of Jubilee. David
Waller has come home to his place Of
residence after being away several
years in the West. He will be likely
to stay here the balance of his time as
he is nearly seventy years old.
w. Ii. Stockburger has sold two
sleighs, but the snow does not come TO
make them enjoyable.
The rabbits have been very plenty
this season, aud large numbers of them
have been killed but there seems to
be lull in the business, particularly
on the first day of the week, when ev-
cry boy and young man ought TO be at
church.
Meeting has been going on at the
Station for the last two weeks, con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr.. Merchant.

Among other good things about the
dun horse, Mr.. Youatt says: He is
good tempered, good feeling, good
constitutional, useful horse.E All this
and some more might be said of one
that l know of that color. He was
owned by man who had five SONS
The Oldest one was married before this
horse was OLD enough to drive, and ht
lived so near his lady that he could &c
often enough on foot. The second Sol
whom l shall call Homer, had beer
cOurting his girl one year before he go
command of the dun horse, but fo1
two years following he drove to Ra
VIENNA regularly and in June, 1873, ht
brought home the prize. No sooner
was this accom- piished than the thirC
son took the dun horse and drove
through the Center of Rootstown anC
stayed at house in sight of the lake
In October, 1879, he brought home
, bright jewel that has shown in hi
, house ever since. Soon after this tn,
fourth son took the same horse ant
, drove over to Springfield. This was
longer drive, but the faithful anima
saw him safely through, and in Octo
Der, 1879, he brought home one VIII
was to be the bettar half of his house
mold, This horse, as have intimatet
before has been going to Alliance 8
regular trips, but the necessity TO
J them has been removed. His useful
ness is not yet over, however, one G
the young men will need him TIL
, youngest of the family has been know
to drive this horse and leave hiH
7 standing on the north side of the roa
iE the east part of town. Whe
Christian was going along a narroN
road he thought he saw lion and wa
} about to turn back, but some one tol
D him the Hon was chained. So if ther
is a Lyon on the side of Wilson's pat
y it is chained, There is something re
= markable about this horse that hav
1 not mentioned. These young me
= who drove him never went to see bu
t the one girl whom they brought t
: their homes to be the light and Joy
= them forever. w.
