One of the agents ofa Chicago bucket
shop, who lives not far from Ravenna,
received letter short time ago pur-
porting to come from his firm, inclos
ing draft for $500, and informing him
that the brokers had turned their at
tention to the importation of oranges
from Alaska, and hoped, from the
enormous profits ON several cargoes
now on the way to be able to return
the balance Of the money he had in
vested. 1t was not until the banker
informed him that there was no such
bank as the one drawn upon that he
realized that he had been "sold." He
is very anxious that the "boys" shall
not find it out, SO we won't say a word
about 1t.
Arthur A. Anderson, Esq, of Pitts
burg, made short visit during the

returning to his home in the Smoky
City Tuesday morning. Heis brother
of Miss Sally Anderson, Of Ravenna,
and Benz. F. Anderson, Esq, of Kent.
His first lessons in the art preserva-
tive" were taken in the Office of the old
Western Courier, under the late J. B.
Butler, with whom he removed to
Pittsburg over half a century ago,
where he has since resided.

Thursday evening the members of
the Mechanics Club, numbering be-
tween forty and fifty ladies and gen.
tlemen, made a surprise visit to our
old fellow citizen, Marcus Heath, Esq.
at his residence one mile east of town.
They took their music and well filled
baskets along bent on having royal
good time, in which they were not in
the least disappointed. Mr.. and Mrs.
Heath gave their guests most hearty
welcome and made them feel entirely
at home. The company having assem-
bled at about eight o'clock the music
struck up and a few hours were pleas
antly spent in tripping the light fam
tastic, and at about eleven o'clock the
party sat down to an elegant supper,
of which all partook with zest. The
party retired at one o'clock Friday
morning, each and all well pleased
with the evenings entertainment, and
wishing their hosts many more years
of health and happiness.

A furious runaway occurred on Sat-
urday forenoon. A span Of spirited
young horses belonging to Squire
Marvin, of Shalersville, harnessed to
a lumber wagon and hitched to post
in front of r. Doig's foundry, on
Prospect street, became frightened at
some papers being blown about the
streets, and breaking their halters ran
at full speed up Spruce street to Chest
nut and thence to Main. In their
progress they ran afoul of three other
vehicles, which were badly wrecked.
The runaways brought up in front of
Empire Block, where they were Sc
cured with but little damage to them
selves and only broken tongue to the
wagon of Mr.. Marvin. This accident
was occasioned by the pernicious prac-
tice of throwing papers in the street to
be blown abont by the winds. There
are few horses that don't frighten at
such an object, and some means ought
to be devised to put stop to the prac-
tice.

Sudden and Violent.

The change from the summer to the
fall season is so sudden and violent
here in the West that few can get
through the winter months without
having cough or cold of more or less
severity fastened upon them. The
seeds of that dread disease, consump-
ton, are usually sown in one of these
much dreaded months. Browns Ex-
pectorant is a sure cure for the most
violent coughs and colds, and will ar
rest consumption if taken in time.

A DEMOCRAT wants to know why
the present Legislature is called the
!" Poker" Legislature. This is the
reason: During its session last Win
ter considerable number Of the ''troo-
ly loyal" members sold their votes
and influence to the Cincinnati Coal
Ring, and received their pay by play
ing poker with the Rings agents; that
is, the Ring would put up, SO much
money and let the ".trooly loyal /" .fel-
low win it at the game as compensa-
ton for his vote aud influence. The
investigation actually showed this state
of facts.-[Ohio Patriot.

Brought in the Meat Alive.

A Toronto LAWYER, who was one Of
party out hunting lately in the Muskoka
district had narrow escape from the rath-
er dangerous embraces of bear. The in
cident is an amusing one. 1t appears that
the members of the party had arranged
that they should take turns at the cooking.
The gentleman in question did not take
kindly to his work, and when the remainder
of the party returned from the chase he was
invariably asleep, not having prepared
meal. His companions became tired of his
conduct, and on this occasion ordered him
out to bring in some game. This he pro-
ceeded very gladly to do. In few min
utes, however, he was seen returning at the
top Of his speed, with an immense bear, in
hot pursuit. He dashed into the shanty,
the heavy doors of which were at once
barred against the would-be intruder, the
gallant hunter exclaiming: "Boys, here's
your fresh meat all alive" After some doz-
en- shots had been fired into the bears body
from the roof of the shanty, where the gal
liant hunters had managed to crawl through
one Of the numerous smoke holes, they de-
scended and after some slight delay in re-
moving the skin were soon enjoying
hearty dinner of bear steak Ii appears
that when the bear was first seen BY the
hunter he had his back turned toward that
gentleman. who, taking aim rather nervous
ly, managed if not to seriously wound the
brute to at least irritate him, the brute turn
ing upon the hunter.
