The New IknIirond, in It's Prospcc
tive Rotation with Pcrrysburg.

From an interview with the Hon. T..
Il. Brown. President of the r. l.. 81 :.
railway the JOURNAL is authorized to
say that it Is his desire and intention
to make this road of practical service
in developing the business interests Of
Perrysburg. In order 10 do this n,
will shortly be in the villuge in order
to consult with citizens, regarding the
line on which it may he desired that
the road should enter the corporation
on the South. and that by which il
may take its exit to the line of West
Boundary ST., TO its crossing on the
river north. Mr.. Brown states that if
the Council will grant the right of way
through the corporation he will then
endeavor to outline the route in accord
nncc with their wishes.
President Brown holds tlrC location
of perrysburg and its prospective bust
ness development in high estimation.
In illustration of whicn he makes this
proposition TO our citizens:
II they will give him II title to such
portion of the river front as may meet
the objects which he has in view he.
as II condition thereof. will bird him
self to construct substantial dock on
such frontage and also II railroad ON
its line
The object would be to develop man
ufaciuring enterprise, for which his
road and it's connections to the south

These matters are entitled to judic-
ious consideration on the point of the
corporate officers, and citizens gen
orally.

strong and willing hands, good reputa-

larger part of the purchase price. BY
hard work and strict attention to busi-
ness, they have succeeded in establishing
an excellent business. Their business
includes dry goods, notions, clothing,
groceries, boots, shoes, hats, caps,
hardware, agricultural implements,
etc. They are agents for the celebra-
ted Deering binders, and have had an

On Sunday morning last, the Elks
band, of 50 musicians, of Findlay, Ohio,
accompanied by about 3C0 eXclrsion-
lists, arrived in Perrysburg, via the G.
ii. 81 ID. II. r.. AT this place they were
met by the steamer Evening Star and
were taken to Presque Isle TO enjoy
the day. A short time prior to this
n large number of eXcursionists from
Ottawa went to Presque Isle, and
returning home, came TO Porrysburg
by steamer. While coming up the
Tlver these Ottawa people were fre-
quently heard to remark, this is the
best part of the whole trip" BY this
it will be seen that the beauties of the
Maumee can no longer be covered up
and the trip from Toledo to Perlys-
burg is far more popular than the trip
from Toledo TO the bay. People from
all sections Of the State are becoming
acquainted with the beauties of the
route and never miss an opportunity
to enjoy the trip. The better class ol
Toledos citizens are much smitteu
with the up-river run and are quietly
making their wants known to the
steamboat owners of Toledo, and the
Indications are that next season will
see a steamer on the route, built foi
this trade, with the carrying capacity
of the Pastime, but SO constructed as
to enable her to get through the
bridge, SO that the trip can be made in
the evening MS well as the day time.

no good had he done SO, for tho bear

he occasionally stumbled. and must

away.
Providence was kind. Instead Of kill
ing father the bullet bored its way
through the brain Of the bear, which
sagged downward. and after struggle
or two was as dead rs julius Caesar.
Father was used up, but in the course
of minute or two, when he had looked
around and got the hang Of things, he

To Keep the stove BRIGHT,

After doing its first duty as a heater
the next thing we require Of stove is
to look bright. A dull, dusty, smoky
stove will make a room look disorderly
and uncomfortable. 1t requires only .
few minutes care each day to keep the
polish bright and nickel-plate shining.
Keep one cloth, used for nothing else,
to rub of the stove. When used first
on q newly-blacked stove the cloth be-
comes filled with the surplus polish,
which rubs of so easily. and it is then
ready to impart gloss whenever it is
needed. Another plan is to use old
newspapers to rub of the stove, instead
of brush. In mixing stove polish use
vinegar and . teaspoonful Of sugar.

Nifty, Buns canary, was great dandy
and great pet. When Buns mamma
sat down to sew she often put Nifty's
cage on the seat which extended around
the bay window.
ing been out Of the room . long time
she found that Nifty had company!
Company inside his cage! What do you
think Of that?
There sat Nifty on his lower perch,
and close beside him sat the rustiest,
dirtiest. scraggiest little bit Of mouse
that you ever saw.
They made Strengthening pair.
Nifty SO gay and sleek in his yellow
coat, and Scrubby las Buns mamma
named the mouse) SO shabby and
dingy in his rough, dull fur.
No one knew how they got acquainted;
but after this the mouse came almost
every day.
When Nifty's cage was taken down
and Buns mamma was quietly seated In
another part of the room, Scrubby would
generally appear. But If he did not
come soon Nifty would give soft, low
chirp and repeat it until Scrubby heard
the cali Then Scrubby would come
running across the room and up to the
window seat, and, squeezing himself in
between the wires of the cage, would
scramble up on the perch beside Nifty.
Scrubby was always hungry. 1t was
never long after he got into the cage be-
fore he went to Nifty's seed dish to have
. feast.
Nifty would let him eat q little while.
but when he thought Scrubby had had
enough he would hop over to him, and.
catching hold of Scrubhy's long, thin
tail, nip it with his bill.
Oh, how Scrubby hated to stop eat
ing! but oh, how Nifty did hurt his
tail! He always had to leave tho de-
licious seed and 60 and play with Nifty.
After they had had good frolic
Scrubby would squeeze between the
wires OF the cage again and scam.
per away to his home, which was
somewhere about the fireplace.
The mouse came day after day. either
of his own accord or in answer to Nifty's
chirp.
Wouldn't you like to see Nifty and
Scrubby?-Babyland.
