not dish up long obituary notices of

No doubt it will be important to pur
chasers of real estate to know that by a
law passed by the recent Legislature, a
deed for real estate takes effect on the
day it is filed for record, and not within
six months, as has heretofore been the
law.
On the 18th day of June, 1859, a frost
killed wheat after it had headed out and
cut the corn to the ground. The wheat
was almost a total failure throughout the
State of Ohio. The corn started anew,
some was replanted and a good crop was
grown.
The time is drawing neal when people
HE themselves to some grove, the men
tire themselves in carrying baskets, the
women arrange lunch, over which ants
and bugs have raced, and make lemon
ade in which spiders have taken a bath.

A fire occurred at Camden on Saturday
evening last between s and 9 o'clock,
consuming the stables of William and
Benz. Hubbard, John Watt and Capt.
Folkerth, with all their contents. Loss
about $1,000. Supposed to be the work
of an incendiary.
The throwing of old paper out into the
street is a great nuisance and an ordi-
nance should be passed making it a penal
offense. Almost daily horses are fright
ened by old paper lying in the public
highway. Besides this it makes a litter
which does not speak we'll for a Clearly
village.
Fertile soil, clean fields, neat, we'll
kept fences and buildings, should be the
farmers ideal, and such surroundings
certainly make a happy home. Almost
every farmer may be 80 situated and our
best farmers have taken advantage of
their opportunities and have their farms
in tip-top order.
This is the season of the year when on
Sunday the three-dollar-a-week clerk
puts on his forty dollar spring suit, hires
a three dollar livery team and with an
other young clerk takes a drive in the
country. A young man might as we'll
make the best of a good salary, when he
earns one:
The business all over this country de-
ponds to a great extent upon the success
the farmer meets with each year. The
success of the professional man, the mer-
chant or mechanical fact, the success
Of all depends, to a great extent, upon
the prosperity or adversely Of the farm
ing world.
The June term of Court opened on
Monday last. with Judge HUME on the
Bench. The Grand Jury was charged
and sent out to work. No cases of any
importance was disposed of up to the
time of making up our forms. We will
give a full report in our next weeks is

The streets and alleys of a well regu-
lated village should not be the deposito-
ry for old tin cans, broken crockery, and
other rubbish, yet a great many cheerful
idiots think the streets and alleys are
made expressly for this purpose. The
Marshal should see to such violations of
law and health.
Harvey Huffman takes great pride in
keeping the public buildings in a clean
and healthy condition, and the Sheriff
and Marshal ought to assist him to keep
the human brutes off the veranda at
night, who gather there in clans and filth
it over from their foul stomachs. Such
conduct as was performed last Saturday
night is a disgrace to a civilized commu.

An agricultural paper says strawberry
beds may beprotected from birds by
running a wire along the walk to which
a cat is chained. Her movements ny
and down the length of the wire will
keep the birds away. Where there il
no chain, the wire can be run through
the cat, and heated to a temperature
that will fill the cat with a longing t.
keep moving.
Two hundred years ago there was
fish in the Arabian sea SO large that thu
natives sawed it into planks, which the,
used to make roofs for their houses. I
will therefore be observed that the lie
of our fishermen of to-day lack some
thing in their size, as compared Will
those of two hundred years age. Pleas
send us no fish stories until they ca
compare favorably with this one of tn
ancients.
If liquor could be sold without sellin
