Camden can brag of having as neat
clean and comfortable a depot as on the
q. H. & D. line; Eaton of as dirty anf
uncomfortable a one. The occupants o
it here should give the officials of tn.
road no rest until the whole thing is re
modelled and fixed up decent. They owl
it to our city and the patronage it gives
the road. Let US have it, gentlemen.
Our merchants, grocers, jewellers,
druggists. stationers, butchers, bakers,
mantua makers, confectioners and un.
~dertakers, have filled their stores, shops,
windows, shelves, counters and show
cases, with all sorts of gim-cracks and
fancy articles, to entice the sheckels
from the pockets of the unwary seeker
after Christmas presents. The displays
are magnificent.
Persons in this vicinity having books
or manuscript bearing on the early his
tory of Ohio or the Northwest Territory
which they are willing to part with, in
order that the State Library may be en-
riched in this important department, are
invited to write to State Librarian F. B.
Loomis, at Columbus. The State Libra
ry is lacking in some branches of West
ern history, and an effort is being made
to build it up.

Sheriff Peters has but two regular
boarders now. He has several well ven.
tilated, stoutly furnished, burglar-proof
rooms to let. The sky parlor, doubly
protected, was saved for Mr.. William
Mussel. He has taken possession. 1t
is possible, however, hat Williams
friends(?) may take charge OF him, in
which event the sky parlor will also be
to let.
Jack zimmerman, our County Recor-
der, whose term expires in January, has
taken time by the ~forelock, by securing
a berth as sleeping car conductor, and
he is now running between Cincinnati
and Chicago. Jacks avoids the charge
of drawing two salaries at the same time,
by letting his wife run the office and re-
ceive the emolunents. Ii Jack runs his
car as satisfactorily as Mrs. A.runs the
office, there will be no complaint from tie
patrons of his company.
HARPER's MAGAZINE for January fur
nishes a generous instalment of the novel

New Orleans" Millet's "Summer Cam
paign with the Cossacks," starting the

ston, "a Note on Impressionist Paint
by Theodore Child, several short
poems, and the richly lader depart
The Auditors Office muddle is finally
by the decision of the Supreme
Court; the court holding that Robbins
term expired Nov. 9th, and that the ap-
of Dove, by the county COM
missioners, to fill the office until Rob-
bins's new term commences, in Septem-
Der next, is valid. In the meantime the
Dove finds shelter in the Robbins nest.
How the Dove does coo--how happy the "ring;'
The morning papers the glad Jews bring,
That until ten months have quietly fit,
The Dove in the Robbins nest can sit,
And while he thus sits he can pleasantly sing,
"Oh, what will the Robin do now, poor
thing ?"
But time, it is said, evens up all things,
And joy to a sorrowing heart oft brings;
In September next the Dove must '.git,'
While eli" in the Robbins nest will sit,
And while he thus sits, he will joyously sing,
"Oh, what Will C. Dove do now, poor
thing"
