Our own city far surpasses Neadville
in this respect, for we have three rival
trunk lines, and are thus enabled to
secure transportation rates at the low
est figures, and are never at the mercy
of railroad corporations. We have
one of the finest systems of water
works in Northern Ohio, thus insur-
ing an abundant supply of that neces
sary element. lie lay of our lands is
admirably adapted for the erection of
manufactures. We are close to unlim-
tied quantities of coal, and can alwavs
secure it at low figure. We possess
every advantage that could be desired
by those engaged in manufacturing.
Unlimited means of outside commu.

supposed that an anniversary occasion

the organization, growth. prosperity,

characterized the birth and existence

imply that the welfare of the world
hinges upon any one reform. Our OBJ

us that vice holds large space in the

is the reverse of purity, happiness and
elevation, We are led to these reflec-
tions in listening to the addresses at

showing the Importance of the tenn

want. degradation and misery in so
many homes, and filling them with
sunshine and plenty. But is this the

there not something beside mere re.

not all reforms wrought in him who

the Church and Sabbath School on
the lower plane of morals, good and

welfare of society? Is not something
more than mere morality taught 81

THE Postmaster General has report
ed to the Senate that from March 4th,
1885, to March Sd, 1856, he had remov-
ed 1855 fourth class postmasters, This
is very moderate exercise of the
power of removal, and gives the Dem

$4,000 fourth class postmasters in the
