During the past few days three
grouse have flown into town and been
captured, two of them flying through
windows, and the other coming in
contact with a telephone wire. This
would indicate that these birds are
plenty in this section, but sportsmen
claim 1t is quite the reverse.
Mr.. David Myers. of Warren, for
merly a resident of this place. left for
California on Monday. He expects to
obtain employment for the winter, and

Monday last speech by our former
It. B. Alcorn, Esq, deliv
cred at rousing Democratic meeting |

menced excavating for reservoir,
and we understand are finding plen-
tiful supply of excellent spring water,

will not be needed. Should this prove

We sincerely hope this will be the case.
Ravenna exhibitors of poultry at the
Akron Fair think they have good
cause to complain at the treatment
which they received-not that premi-
inns were not awarded to them, for
hey took large proportion of the
they claim they were dis
among owners of the birds,
and not upon the merits of the fowls.
They also objected to their birds being
eft without food or care, in the absence
Of the owners.
Five members of Capt. Norton's
luntipg party left on Monday morn.

Hummer, G. B. Wadsworth, Henry
smith and J. G. Shraeder. We wish

inc sport they are sure to have.
You will be amused and entertained
Deyond your expectation if you attend
he entertainment at the Opera House
given by Prof. CASTILLO and his edu-
lated horses. This is no circus per-

pal cities by many who attend amuse-
nents only on extraordinary occasions.
The great foot race which was to
De" run at the Fair Grounds, on Sat
lrday last, between Samuel Grant, of
Ravenna and Walter Hartshorn, the
champion of Stark county, for purse
IF SIC, resulted in Walters favor,
failing to put in an appear
