WE are pleased to announce to our
readers that w. H. Anderson, formerly
of this place but now of Findlay, has
called halt to the demon drink, and
has united with the Church of God OF
Findlay. He has also joined the Good
Templars Lodge. There are few law
yers in this part of Ohio who have more
ability than Mr.. Anderson.-NOrth Bal
Hn,Ore Beacon.
Democrats in this section of Ohio well
remember Mr.. Anderson, for they have
come in contact with him in District
Conventions. He is man of natural
abilities, but was rendered useless
through strong drink, and his Demo
cratic friends will be glad to learn of his
reformation and will hope that he may
have the nerve to stick to his good res
olutions.

of Lent was instituted by Pope Teles-

iginally commenced on Sunday. In
the year 4S7, four days were added by
Pope Felix III, in order to make the
number of days forty. Easter is COM
memorative of the resurrection of
Christ, and is always the first Sunday
after the fourteenth day of the calendar
moon, which happens upon the next
after vernal equinox. The fast is thus
given its peculiar movable character.

An instance of the bad way in which
country roads are managed was cited Mt
recent meeting Of Wisconsin farmers
The soft ground Just below a steep Hill
was annually ploughed and piled up in
the center ofthe track. And lest drivers
might choose to pass on the smooth sod
by the roadside, that was ploughed too.
just above, on the hill. was plenty of
hard earth and gravel which could have
been placed below by few rods haul
ing. greatly to the benefit of both parts
Of the road, but it was never thought
Of.
Another instance shows the disregard
of distance and grade. A much used
road near Madison, travelled from the
earliest settlement OF the county, over
forty years, ran diagonally to the Sec
ton lines forming the hypothenuse Of
triangle. The owner Of the farm,
through which it PASSED requested the
board to change il SO as to combine q
little poor land into one piece, and they
did so. relaying the road over the Sec
ton line, ami over high hill, at great
expense to the town. So now, all
teams no M after how heavily loaded.
are cruelty compelled to climb that hill
taking the two sides of the triangle in
stead of the old easy level and short
cut.
