OUR LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.
LORAIN.


The Lorain Young Mems Christian As
sociation held its first Anniversary meeting
in the Congregational Church, on the eve
ming of March 4th. 1t being union SER
vice all the protestant Churches were well
represented.
Rev. L. \. Markham has been assisting
in service of meetings in West Salem, o.
The Baptist ladies have earned q reputa-
ton for getting up first class entertainments
one of which was held at the Knapp hotel.
The attendance was very large, the supper
was elegant, and singing was beautiful. 1t
was, indeed, a grand success.
The ladies of the NJ. Z. Church gave a
sugar party and mush and milk supper in
the vacant room under the opera hall on
last Friday evening. Hot biscuits, warm
sugar and mush and milk for 35cts.
The Disciples gave an oyster supper last
Thursday evening in Knights hall, having a
fair attendance.
Freeman Moore has sold his farm of rs
acres at Lake Breeze, down the shore, to
Grin Moore, of Cleveland, for 80 500. He
sold portion of his farm on the south side
two years ago for $2,50O, 800 per acre.
This is the old Moore homestead, and prob
ably possesses some of the finest natural
advantages of any farm in Northern Ohio.
Mr.. Moore is now travelling in the western
part of Kansas, will be gone several weeks.
The schooners SelkIrk and Col. Cook in
tow of the tug Sprague passed down on
OIL oh aoI
with cargos of stone for the new breakwa-
ter at Cleveland.
A most singular case of suicide occurred
here in the sonth end of town week ago
Thursday, Frederick Ssuer a heavy we'll
built and to all appearance a healthy Ger
man. By papers found in his trunk where
he boarded it was learned that he landed
in the United States in July, 1879. He
came to Lorain Dec. last. He was entirely
destitute of friends and relatives. 1t was
reported that he had a family IN the old
country and sister in California. He had
been working in the Brass Works, but be-
ing a green hand obtained but little pay,
hardly enough to pay his board bill. His
motive for the rash act will, of course, never
be known, but it is supposed he became
down hearted and discouraged and taking
small seven chambered revolver which
they found by his side, went out into the
stiffness of the night inserted the muzzle
of the deadly weapon between his teeth
and pulled the trigger. His body was
found the next morning by some school
children, on their way to school in an open
field. The body was laying in the mud and
water presenting most horrible sight.
Thus ends the last chapter in a mans life
whose only known history is nothing but
conjecture.
A fire broke out in T. Mathews feed
store on a main street last Friday morning
at 8 O'Clock. Men and boys all few to lend
a helping hand to save what they could.
Origin of fire unknown. ***

Diligence.

Show us an apprentice boy, clerk in a
store, or an employe in any line of busi-
ness, who is ever anxious to learn and per
form his duties; who always finds some
thing useful TO do; who keeps himself busy
and does not wait to be told of each and
every duty to perform; who is not so anx
ious for quitting time'' to come as he is
to do his full duty to his employer; who
believes In order, decorum, quiet and con-
slant effort during working hours; who is
ever polite and kind to his fellow work
men, who takes as much pleasure in saw
ing any useless expense for his employer
as he would were the positions reversed,
and we will show you one who will never
go begging for situation, but will always
command a choice of the best; who in
turn will become a respectable and sue
cessful employer, q good citizen and true
man.
But the reverse of this picture is pain.
full one to contemplate, for, as certain as
death and destiny, the boy and young man
who does not follow the above rules of &C.
tion in early life will never achieve emf
nence or success in any vocation in life
will ever be the football of fate, knocked
hither and thither, at the beck or caprice
of others; lead an unhappy and useless
existence, curse to himself and his friends
and the chances are ten to one that he will
fill an early and dishonored gravel

in time, and take the true path which

Grand Army Entertainment.

Rev DIR. T. c. Warner, pastor of Elyria
NJ. E. Church and who was a member OF
the 4th Ohio Volunteer Regiment, will de.
liver his famous lecture, subject, Heroes
and the Heroic" on Monday evening,
March 10, in Mallory. Jopp & Cos. Hall
The old soldier boys have lately purchas-
ed fine lot of new army rifles, and if you
will encourage them in this enterprise We
will guarantee that in the near future Wei
lington will have fine military organizs-
ton. Preparations are being made so that
all shall be thoroughly pleased. Music by
Halls Orchestra, and the Wellington
Silver Cornet Band. The Creston Journal
comments upon the lecture as follows:
Rev. T. c. Warmers lecture, "Heroes and the
Heroic" at School Hall, Wednesday evening, was
one Of the finest literary treats 1t has been our
good luck to receive. DR.. Warner has q magnif-
cent voice, highly cultivated. This in connection
with graceful and pleasing address, alone would
commend attention, but when you add the subject
matter, bristling with propositions true to the
finer impulses Of our natures, and arranged in
perfect order, his high attsinments a. q close OBJ
server and thinker deserve the mead Of praise.

A Critic as Is q Critic.

The youth of growing educational in
called upon to write compositions, each
scholar selecting his own subject. One of
the boys had recently heard Remenyi, the
violinist, and concluded that critical
notice of the concert would be the best
thing he could do in the composition line,
and he wrestled with his subject to this
effect:

Obituaries.

CORA BELLE HORTON was born in Wei
lington, O., Nov. IA, 1866 and died in Hunt
ington, o., at the residence of her grand
mother, Blakelee, Feb. %, 1888, inher sew
enteenth year. From this home she had
within a short time seen her mother and an
aunt carried out to return no more, and
was now remaining as precious comfort
to that dear grandmother, who has again
been called upon to pass through the wa
ters OF affiiction. When told that she too
was soon to go by the same disease, con-
sumption, she called earnestly upon that
Savior of whom she had learned so much
in the Sabbath School, and when she OBJ
tanned the assurance that He would go
with her through the valley, she began to
exhort her classmates to love Jesus and
prepare for death while in health. She
died cheerfully and earnestly trusting in Js-
sus. The tender regard felt for her and the
sympathy cherished for the grandmother
now left alone, war shown by the large con-
course of friends gathered at the funeral.
Her S. S. class were present in q body and
were deeply affected The pastors of the
Methodist and Baptist churches both took
part in the funeral exercises, the writer
preaching from the words in Gen. xiii, SO.
II was feared that mother Blakelee would
hardly bear up, but the everlasting arms"
have been about her and she calmly says,
"By the hands the boon was given;
Thou has taken but thine own:
Lord OF earth and God Of heaven,
Evermore THY will be done"

Hon. George P. Metcalf from Lorain,
made one of the strongest speeches on
either side of the Ht use, in favor of the
Franklin County Judge bill. Mr.. Metcali
is among few clear-heeded men in the
Republican majority, and never allows his
political convictions TO warp his Judge
ment. Badly crippled with rheumatism,
he is compelled to use crutches. but he so
seldom speaks, and always manages to
say something of interest when he does
address the House, that the greatest pos
sible attention is paid to all he says. He
poured hot shot into the ranks of his con-
freres, and shamed them out of their boots
for placing a political bias upon bill
containing such sense ofjustice and utili-
ty upon its face.-Columbus Evening
Times.
