THE WAY TRUST FUND.


To The Mtyor and Council Of The Mcoypor-
ated Village Of Rrrysbug:
GESrLEMEN:--I have read with regret the
resolutions passed at your session on the
23d ult. inaugurating legal proceedings in
matters pertaining to the way Trust
Fund" To me ii seeml that the ordinary
methods OF business should have been ex-
hausted previous TO adopting tho ul,erior
resort Of litigation.
also regard the act VI Council in
voting the sum OF Sl00 to two OF their own
members-and one OF them u lawayer, who
is the prime mover in the cage-ns being
burden for taxpayers TO meet current ex-
penses arising from duties actually and
honestly performed, without submitting to
grab on the Treasury as u bounty to un-
scrupulous men.
II those men really lesire TO promote
the public welfare, all facts and inlorma-
ton, that rightfully concerns the people OF
Perrysburg, can be easily acquired without
cost by comforting with Messrs. Cook and
Hollenbeck, the resident trustees OF the
Way Estate. In view Of this, 1t would be
well for the Council to instruct the Mayor
by resolution to select two competent and
judicious business men, 10 confer with said
Trustees, and obtain from them such full
and explicit details of the Way estate, and
the transactions pertaining thereto, as may
in justice and equity be demanded, by its
chief bene6ciary-the people and village
Of Perrysburg,
II the Trustees refuse to give suoh rea-
sonable Information, then let recourse be
had 10 the Court of Probate IN Wood
county. If that is unavailing then in the
name of Justice let the case be carried TO
the higher Court.
The experience of the people of Perrys-
burg during the past quarter of n century
painfully shows them that their enterprise
in litigation has not been profitable TO
them. In this case the Way Trust Fund"
appears as a good milch COW, whose lac
teal fluid will be obtained in this way. In
order to secure the animal in the legal
stall the taxpayers of Perrysburg will oc-
cupy the position in front to hold It's
horns; and the Way Library will be
placed on its rear, while our illustrions
legal Councilman, and his brethren, will
perform the agreeable duty of milking the
animal. Should its lacteal fluid prove In
sufficient, then as formerly, the Perrysburg
taxpayer must delve deep in his pocket in
order to meet the cost of lawyers in their
efforts 10 raise the wind. That is how ii
looks.

Mach 10th is Wednesday, the first
day Of Lent, called by the fathers OF the
church ash day, in allusion to the custom
OF sprinkling the head with ashes. The
name of the day Isl memorial Of ancient
manners. To roll ONCE self in the dust, to
cover the head with ashes, was in primi-
tive times mark OF profound grief. In
the first centuries OF Chrsiapity, when
public penance was imposed, ashes were
cast upon the heads Of those who were con.
demned, aud they were obliged tn stand
without the gate OF the church, amid the
lamentations of the people within. The
ceremuuies pt Ash Wednesday in Roman
CATHOLIC eonntiiea are u continuation Of
this primitive usnge. The old linen Of The
altar aud fragments of cpnsecrated wood
ure burned aud The ashes carefully collect
ed. Before the celebration of the mass,
the priest in mourning robes recites penl-
tentinl psalms, aud rolemnly blesses the
sacred ashes.
All the faithful then approach and pros.
