The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1884-07-02

A VERY very strong temperance prin-
ciple should, include the rejection of to-
bacco in all its forms and absolute purity
of social life. SAsman who is wanting in
these characteristics is sborn of a large
measure of his power as a reformer, and
need not wonder if the people do not kind
lyrand enthusiastically follow his lead.
Equally fatal to success is narrowness and
bigotry and intolerance of others, who
conscientiously hold opinions different
from themselves.

and inability to make and keep any
agreement has thus far prevented.
Two weeks ago there was so much
disagreement that we concluded to-
make each firm responsible for its
own quotations. Last week the dis
crepancy was still greater, and after
laboring for two or three hours to
bring them to an agreement, and STIR
ring up some bad blood, two of the
leading firms refused to quote, on the
ground that the figures given by others
did not honestly represent the condi-
tion of the market. This week we have
not asked for quotations, nor do we in
tend to hereafter unless some salts
factory arrangement is entered into, to
make prices uniform.
On consideration we have concluded
to make this proposition. We will
quote for any number of firms who
will agree to make and abide by uni
form prices, not to be changed except
by mutual consent, and will insert the
names of such firms at head report
Corrected weekly by A. B.; q. D.. ;E.
F., &C. There viii be but one set of
prices for q given grade, nor will any
firm be allowed to quote except in the
manner mentioned. The grades we
suggest are as follows, though they
may be changed to suit the dealers:
Young America, .......
N. Y. Full Cream, ........
Ohio F" ~ h''-
" Half
" Full Skim ......
If will not all enter into this arrange
ment we will adopt this method if
enough will consent, to give respecta-
bility and character to the quotations,
and would suggest that it ought to in
clude two or more of the leading firms.
We must ask also that the parties de-
termine the quotations on this basis to
be made any given week by mutual con-
sultation, and some one of their number
authorized to report them not later than
uesday evening of each week.
We. believe this is fair, and hope it
will commend Itself to the Judgment of
all parties.
We are interested in the good name
of Wellington. as cheese market, and
any personal contests between in
dividual firms by which they seek to
revenge themselves for'real or financial
injuries, or by which they seek to adj
vance their own interests at the ex-
pense of another does incalculable
damage to dairymen and the trade, and
the community cannot afford longer to
permit a continuance or a repetition Of
the state of things now existing. N,
We believe that the judgment of all
the dealers, or majority of them, is {
safer guide than that of any one O.
them, and that the best interests of thu
market as well as the individual firm
will be best subserved by the adoption
of the plan we have suggested. A
guerilla warfare on each other canno
possibly add to their own profits in th'
long run, and it is certain that it mus
result in loss of thousands of dollar
annually to the dairy interests of thi
section.

Over 150 nebul@, which have escap- ed the vision of previous astronomers, have recently been discovered by Dr Lewis Swift, director of the Warner ob- servatory, Rochester, N. |. One of these is of a most peculiar nature, and seems to be undergoing a wonderful change. Dr Swift desires to thorough ly investigate the great meteor which appeared on the night of July 3,and for this purpose requests all who saw it to communicate with him at the Warner observatory, Rochester, N. r., immedi- ately, giving the direction of view, mo. tion, color, etc.

The Excursion to Bridgeport.

The ME. Church excursion to Bridge port came off last Monday, and was a success, both financially to the society, and as day of pleasure and enjoyment. No better weather could be selected in the year. It was perfect in every re- spect, and the early morning ride to Bridgeport was enjoyed by all.
 Another excursion from Lee was on the same train-friends meeting friends from both places made the occasion still more pleasant. Reaching Bridgeport on time some proceeded directly to Seaside park, while others looked over the city, doing little shopping, and all taking in the park before they returned. Some strolled through the park, viewed the beautiful soldiers monument and looked at P. T. Barnums residence, while others amused themselves by sitting on the beach watching the tide come in, breathing in the bracing saltwater air, and seeing the young kids wade ln the water after shells, seeing others div, ing in the water and taking their bath in their bathing suits.
 Avender of sweet-scented and precious stones made his appearance before some of the Canaanites, offering for sale { small stone which was made from tht sands of Egypt, and held it's perfum' for one year, for the small sum of 10 cts Some thought it might be from tn sands of Bridgeport instead of Egypt. , Many improved the opportunity t take in the skating rink near the park and those who had never seen a skatin, rink were well paid to see the young ladies and gents skate around the rinl so rapidly but very gracefully, and oth CTS who were green at the business triI ped up and get good fall. Hundred of small flags and Chinese lanterns hun from the top of the rink, and band ( music, all made it very pleasant.
 The return trip was made in goo time, and all returned home withor accident or anything to mar the happ ness of the occasion. W. G. H.,

Middletown's centennial celebration of the incorporation of the city drew an immense crowd of people there Monday. A conspicuous feature was the process sion of trade industries with decorated teams.

When the city was incorporated, 1OO years ago, it had population of 57OO. It now has IA, 900, and it claims to DO sess greater wealth and refinement than any other city of the size in the country. --Sprinqtield Republicdn.

Rev E. N. Atw00d's Letter.

In looking over report of Memorial day, notice you made an error. The speaker did not teach slave to read j; it was Judge w. H. Claggett of Salt Lake City, who said, I know "The Fools Brand" is true.
 One other fact I noticed-my engage ment with the East Canaan society is not tor three months trial, but is pe1ma- saent, i. e. either party is to give three months written notice, if they desire to sever the connection-the plan I proposed to the committee as preferable to hiring year by year. I expect to begin service in East Canaan, Sunday, August 3, 1884.

L. IT AIWUOD Bridgewater, Ct,, July 10,. 1884.

We cheerfully publish the above let ter, as it will correct wrong impression entertained by many. In justice to our selves we will state that, although it now appears that Rev Atwood did not teach slave to read, he unintentionally conveyed that impression in his address last Memorial day. Before publishing his address we consulted others and found that the majority gained that impression, and knowing nothing to the contrary we gave the Rev the credit of teaching slave to read. With regard to his engagement with the East Canaan society we published it exactly as an East Canaan man reported it to us, but the above letter informs us that a peTmdne'at engagement is one that can be terminated by either party on giving three months notice.

PAID ALL LOSSES IN FULL !

The last year was an exceptionally disas- trous year to tobacco crops, and the losses were many and great, but they have all been promptly paid.
 This only shows the importance of insuring against these losses Many thought last year they would not insure, and would thus save the small premium, bat one day the hail came and beat upon the crop and they lost ten times the amount ofthe premium.
 At the last annual meeting it was voted to substitute for the premium notes cash pre- mium of five per cent, the officers and mem- bers of the company being satisfied that that will meet all contingencies, Anyone insuring therefore for the current year, will only be required to pay a cash premium of Ave per cent on the amount of the insurance, which will cover all liability, y,-there can be

THE South Boston iron company have met with many reverses and discourage ments, during late years. They had over million dollars invested in build ings and machinery at South Boston. They had several furnaces and iron mines in Ohio, and mine at Dover Fur mace, N. r., and had expended large amount of money in building 8 magnif- icent furnace there. They also had other property that we have not men tioned. During the panic that occurred at Boston in October 1881, they were obliged to suspend payment They got an extension from their creditors, and finally reorganized the company, but we believe their property in Ohio has lain idle. On the morning of October 6, 1883, their furnace and all the buildings connected with 1t at Dover Furnace, N. Y., were destroyed by fire, and have not been rebuilt. The depression in the iron business has continued and they have lately met with another loss as will be seen by the following item which we copy from the New Haven Morning News. We venture to say that rarely does company meet with such dis couragements :-
 BOSTON, July 9.-An explosion occur red in the casting room of the Sontb Boston iron foundry this afternoon. firing the roof and causing damage of $3,000, covered by insurance. A120-t ton government gun, which was to have been shipped to Sandy Hook, had just been cast, but the mould was weak and burst, sending up the flames to the roof. The gun is completely ruined and can only be sold for old iron, entailing 8 loss on its makers of $12, GOO. Although 12 men were at work in the room none were injured.
