Fast Time on the Lakes.

This seas)n seems highly favorable

the Great Lakes. The water is 30 low

The Gas Trustees have contracted
with Nolan and Griffin for sinking from

and in all probability they will be of

1t IS estimated that 500, ,OOO0 900 year
is spent abroad for raw silk. 1t is also
stated hy those who claim to know that
this amount might be kept at home.
Silk culture can be carried on in almost
any part of the United States, and is an
occupation that can be followed by
women, wherever it is possible to find
ground enough to raise white mulberry
tree or osage orange. The extreme
chenpness OF labor in China and Japan,
whence the great bulk of our raw silk
comes, is the greatest obstacle to the
American silk industry. But the
women of the villages and rural districts
might make a neat little sum each year
by cultivatinS the silk worm, and still
sell the product so as to compete with
the Oriental cheap labor.

Tho Prosperity Of rerrysburs.

Ed JOURNAL The prosperity OF Por.
rysburg depends on an mnnx OF popu-
lation, an increase of capital, and the
development of productive enterprise =.
When these essentials are obtained
there will be steady and active de.
mand for real estate, in the vi lago and
its suburbs, accompanied by an increase
Of their values.
These results however can only be at
tanned 10y offering capitalists property
that may meet their wishes at faii aud
equitable rates. Anything in excess Of
this will as surely Danish capital anl
enterprise from being located here ns it
has done on previous occasions, which
the older classes Of citizens know ir IN
experience.
There has been an earnest effort made
with Toledo capitalists, to induce them
to locate on homCsteads in this locality
with acreage around them sufficient to
comprise small farm. One gentleman
has made such purchase with Ihat IN
tent. IL now seems from the eXorbltant
prices that are asked for other property
in proximity, that further action in that
way will be very limited. The capital
lists who are now looking toward Per
rpsburg matters are eminently practical
and utilitarian. 1t is impossible to con
vince them that the value Uf farm prop
city is formulated and covered by one
third on real estate and two-thirds on
the scenery in perspective. If that rule
is to prevail, the visionary claimants of
unreasonable prices will find themselves
left in the rear of progress, and will en-
joy the raptures arising from their inn
aginaton OF visionary wealth.
Perrysburg needs wealth in fact, not
in fiction, enterprise, and population.
All these will came to us by the use OF
fair, judicious and liberal methods in
our dealings with capitalists who may
desire to become associated with us.

The "Past!mc, and Railroad Ex-
CursiOns.

There has been question existing
among some of our citizens as TO the
fac, of the 'Pastime' entering on the
traffic between Toledo and Pcrrysburg.
In regard TO il we are authorized TO
bay, the owners of The boat have con-
structed it for the river traffic, and the
programme will be fully carried out.
We will a lso say that it is the intention
of the managers TO invite Sabbath
Sthools-the cmembsrs Of Benevolent
societies and citizens generally who are
living in the thrifty towns ON the line
of the Dayton and Michigan railroad
to organize excursion pai ties to take
the boat at Perrysburg on their arrival
by the Lima accommodation and view
the beautiful scenery Of the Maumee
a ID land al Toledo or such other point
ON the river as may be designated, re-
turning in the evening and taking the
Lima train for their passage home.
This feature OF their business may be
made of much interest 10 the public and
become source of profit 10 the enter
prislng owners of the boat.
There is yet another important matter
that should not he forgotten The
u. s. Government will 81 ON obtain the
ownership al Tie sile of Fort Meigs,
and will put it in its original form and
ornament the grounds. When that has
been done IL will exhibit the main fea-
lures OF II fortified position thus showing

With such ample facilities as Tie
Pastime proposes Tor the acoommoda-
tion OF excursionists and with fucl

tion of their patrons, we may confidently
anticipate that this elegant boat will
become source of much pleasure TO in
