The village Of Attica, Seneca county
was visited with quite An extensive
blaze on Friday morning last. The stock
of goods belonging to Rininger & silcox
was damaged to some extent while being
removed from the building. The damage
to the building was but slight. The At
tica Journal Office was entirely consumed
with but little insurance. Mr.. VIM. Rim.
niger, of this place informed us that the
goods were replaced in the store-room
and the business was resumed Tuesday.
OF the transfer, Of real estate made the
first week in the present month in this
county, the average price paid per acre
was thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents.
Two years ago we published an article on
the decline In value OF real estate and
gave II as our opinion that, the price
would still reach lower ebb. Some Of
the farmers called at our sanctum and
criticised the contents Of the article, and
even insinuated thatthe editors Of country
papers were not in positions to know any
thing about farming interests nor the
present or future value Of real estate and
they further stated that real estate, In
Lorain county had reached the bottom
figure in price which was then
from ffty to sixty-ave dollars per acre.
Who was the jeremiah, the editor or the
farmer;
Mr.. VIM. Vischer was in receipt Of
letter last week from an attorney at
law in Columbus requesting him to sign
a petition asking for the pardon Of
r. A. Davis. now confined in the Peni-
tentiary for embezzlement under sen-
tence Of Two years. Mr.. V. informed him
that while he stood ready and willing al
all times TO extend helping hand to ial-
len man and to otherwise aid suffering hu-
manity, but in this particular case he would
be compelled to decline. He further
stated that he did not like to find fault
with the courts, but Davis should feel ex-
ceedingly jubilant over receiving such a
light sentence for the amount Of crime
committed. II will be remembered
that Davis had charge Of Mr..
Vischer's piano and organ business in
Norwalk and embezzled about twelve
hundred dollars In money.
