Mrs Emily Knowlton, of Aenia, has been
re-engsged soprano of High street Nj. h.
church, at salary of $500 per year, which Is
probably the highest salary paid to any singer
in this city. In other paid choirs in the city,
the siugers get from 500 to 5000 per year,
$500 being the highest salary paid, except in
possibly two or three cases, where the soprano
gets $3.50.

The Democrats who are counting on being
led to victory by John L. Zimmerman, the
well-known Democr attic lawyer,-'genisl
John"-as he is called, will probably be dis
appointed. MIR. Zimmerman was heard to
say recently that be would make no efforts
whatever Tor the nomination for Mayor. He is
in enjoyment of a good law practice and is
loath to leave it to engage in the uncertain
ties of politics. This would seem u leave
the 6eld el, ar for that sterling old Demo-
cratic war horse Squire j. J. Smith, and he
viii pr baby be the nominee. If be is not
nOmrnaled tor Mayor he will be candidate
for reelection as Justice of the Peace at the
Spring election.

Readiness st resort in an emergency is one
OF the most invaluable qualities man can
possess. Springfelders seem - have This
quality in It's highest development. The
other day, at Dayton, car wheel was found
tc be cracked. The repairing OF it would IN
volve considerable delay, and there was con-
siderable grumblIng among the passengers.

man who was among the number. wei,
maybe you'd like to fix that wheel yourself,

said the Spring6elder, bounding from bis seat
and rushing to the lunch counter. In sec

a quiet smile be handed it to the track hand.
I ne latter received it with tears OF joy, and
after little fling it was fitted into the place
of the defective wheel, and TIE train pro
ceeded on its way rejoicing.

The cut in prices by our theatrical man
ayers seems to have revived the lsnguishing
amusement business in this city, and the play
houses are filed with great crowds OF laugh
ing. shouting people, as of yore. The first
night of the cheap prices witnessed the largest
house OF the season, and how the audience
enjoyed it. Il was plain that large number,
perhaps msjority Of those composing il, had
not been to the Opera House for months
There were workmen who, formerly, vent
almost nightly to the theater, but whom the
hard times have lately compelled 10 abandon
amusements. There were clerks with meagre
salaries, whom the low prices had tempted 10
spend portion OF their hard earned wages
There were working girls and sppren-
tices-in short, it was an audience
of the people. 1t was like watching tam
ished man eat his dinner to see tehm catch on
TO the points IN the performance, and to see
them occasionally lean back in their seats
and give vent TO yells aud screams OF laugh
ter and enjoyment. Looking at the hearty
enjoyment of this great audience, il would
seem, indeed, hard to deprive them OF two
hours of oblivion from the hsrdsh'ps of their
laborious existence. The people are again
able TO attend smusements since the cut in
prices.

RAMBLER'S NOTE BOOK.
OLA PODRIDA OF SAYINGS WISE
and OTBERHIsE.

Gathered in walks and Talks About the
Champion City by one Who Keeps Ewes
aud Ears Open for the Beneft OF Cham
pton City Readers
prominent New York capitalist and man
ufscturer recently came TO this city TO see
what facilities it offered for locating manu-
featuring business. Having heard of Spring
fields fine facilities for manufacturing, he
thought tsvorably Of moving his manutsc-
turing business here He did not desire to
build msuu'actOry, however, preierrlng to
lease or buy Que already IN use, aud uansier
his business to it, so as 10 save the time
which would be involved in erecting special
bu lding. With this idea in view he enlisted
the services OF a local real estate agent.
The entire city was searched, ever manu-
factory and sbop visited, only to find that not
one single manufacturer in the city would
hear for a minute any proposal to rent, buy
OF lease either the whole or any part OF his
buiIiing. Such a state OF affairs speaks vol
umes for the prosperity of the manufacturing
interests in this city. Out of the dozens OF
shops not one could be found suitable to the
Manufacturers purpose which the owner
would dispose OF or lease. The manufacturer
above referred to is now at the New Orleans
Exposition, and will return TO this city some
time soon, when he may coaclude to erect a
mandatory somewhere in the city.
The death oi Ex-Yice President Cofax
Awakened considerable interest in this city,
where Mr.. Colfax was known to not a few OF
our citizens. Some years since Mr.. ColiaN
was engaged to deliver an address to The
graduating class of Wi,tenberg College. The
address was delivered at the English Lutheran
church, and was attended by large and
cultured audience. The speaker read his
address from manuscript, and though over an
hour Ions, it was listened to with close atien-
ton, and contained many valuable hints to
the college boys concerning their future
careers.

It is on the occasion of wheat-cutting

feudality of the modern Welsh peasant
is manifested. Every person, male or
female, of every age, from the S-year-
old urchin to the octogenarian, who
expects in the future to receive, any
favor from the farmers hands, attends
at the "Fedel Wenith," or wheat
reaping;" it is no unusal thing to see
on farm of from a hundred to hun
dred and fifty acres as many as fifty,
eighty, or even hundred persons con-
gregated to do honor to the occasion
by rendering volunteer aid in cutting,
bind ng, and stacking the corn. Not
only must the laborers, with their
wives and children, all attend, but the
village blacksmith, carpenter, mason,
cobbler, tailor, and shop-keeper are ex-
pected to be present, and even the
village schoolmaster, preacher, and
parson do not deem il derogatory to
their dignity to take personal and act
i've part in the work during at least O
portion of the day. The days work
