The agent of the Bee Line has been
using an autograph stamp for some years
past to sign his name to the numberless
receipts, vouchers, etc, which hghtened
the burden of clerical work very materi-
ally; but the powers that be OF the CON-
pany have now forbidden the use Of the
stamp and the pen substituted in the place.
The order did not meet with favor with
the freight delivery clerks.
The visitors from Georgia compliment
our good women In the way they keep
house. That's right; every school girl
should make note of the article and strive
to become tidy houseKeeper. II is some
thing that cannot be extracted from books,

it. We have visited some domiciles where
fine literary minds abide, and many things

Mr.. Geo. Prossor OF Brighton appeared
before one OF the attorneys in this place
last week and requested him to file pc
tition In the Court Of Common Pleas at
Elyria, praying fora bill Of enforcement
from his wife. The principal cause, al
ledged unfaithfulness. II Is said that
Mrs Prossor will file her answer making
complete denial Of all charges. The
case has caused quite a sensation in the
community where they reside and from
reports 1t would seem that the plaintiff
would have no trouble in establishing his
allegations; but the better plan usually is
to wait and hear the testimony, then a
more intelligent opinion can be formed.

from South Carolina had reached Oberlin
on his way to Canada Il was ascertained
that his masters were in close pursuit
and the slaYe was brought to Wei
lington and secreted In the third story of
the American House, but the owners were
