The Era of Prosperity is Mt Hand. i.

Action has been taken to secure the
right of way for an electric railroad on
the line of the river road between
Toledo and Perrysburg. A petition
has been pretty generally signed by
the property owners on the route with
the object of its presentation to the
county commissioners for the purpose
of obtaining their permission to use
the river road for that purpose. When
these preliminarics are performed the
construction of the road will simply be
the matter of u little time in which to
mature plans for its construction.
This enterprise has been put under
way on the north side of the river and
the parties at the head of it have given
bonds to the amount of 81 900 as an
assurance that the road shall be in
operation between Toledo and Maumee
bv the first of January next.
In view of that it is quite possible
that the capitalists at the back of it
may deem it to be in their interests to
extend their line across to Perrysburg
and from thence on the river road to
East Toledo.
Whenever the road is put in opera
tion, its financial results will be found
to be satisfactory. The village OF
Perrysburg now has u population of
nearly 1000 persons, and from the
start of manufacturing interests in our
midst it is quite possible that it may
reach the number of $500 within one
year from this date.
In addition to the population of this
village there are over 1000 persons
residing in the township of Perrysburg
thus presenting an aggregate popula-
tion of between 1000 and 5000; two
thirds of whom would become contrib
utary to the traffic of the road if its
appointments of time should prove
satisfactory.
From these premises, and the sub
stantial public, and private improve
ments that are now in progress within
the village, IL may sLfely be assumed
that Pcrrysburg has made the star
for IL higher and broader plane of busi
ness prosperity which in degree ant
value must depend upon the wei
devised plans, and methods of ou
citizens themselves, in order TO th
attainment of substantial results.
On such grounds let us cherish tn
spirit of cooperation SO that each an,
all may aid in the accomplishment q
some little or some larger work IN pre-
motion of the general good. No ma
livcth unto himself; and no man diet
unto himself. There is u refle
influence, in every phase and condi
tion of human life and of civilize
society so that it behoveth every on
to take action in the case. Let us the
as individuals, and collectively q
citizens, consider how or in what MAJ
ner we may aid in bringing prosperit
to this village and it's citizens. Whe
we have reached judicious conclusion
on this subject, let us not sleep but e
earnestly to work in concert with eac
other. In unity there is strength an
success.

Elliott the Columbus murderer,
was found by the jury to be guilty ol
murder in the second degree. The
jury hung fire a long time and it was
feared would fail to agree but finally
returned the above mentioned verdict,
which, il there is no second trial
granted will give Mr.. Elliott an oppor-
tunity to work for the State the balance
OF his life. To show his contempt for
the jury, when the verdict was read,
Elliott jumped to his feet aud, tearing
his G. A. r. button from his ooat threw
it mt the jury. He would probably
have served the jury as he did his first
victim il he had had gun.

A boy living in Vermont accident
ally dislocated his neck and was unable
to move his head which was pulled
over to one side and had become very
painful. He was taken to the French
hospital in New York city and the
surgeons placed him under the inhu-
ence of ether while one grasped his
shoulders, another his head and pulled
in opposite directions, while the third
one pressed his thumb on the project
ing bone, and by this means the bones
slipped back into their proper places,
The boy is doing nicely and the sur
geons are elnte1 with their successful
operation which is said to be the third
case that has been successfully treated

Peter S. Williams was wealthy
lumber dealer, and was considered by
the citizens of Findlay to be II resident
OF that town. He was also deemed a
worthy citizen of Fostoria. He recent
ly became financially embarrassed, and
when his creditors went into court,
their suit brought to light the fact
that the festive Peter was living a
dual life. He had home, wife and
two children in Fostoria, and resi-
dence and wife in Findlay, and had
been keeping up these separate estab'
lishment for two years. Williams left
the court room during the trial and
has not been seen since, and his two
wives and creditors will settle affairs
for him. The two injured ladies were
entirely ignorant OF each others ex
istence.

Let young ladies and bashful young
men take warning about biting their
finger nails, as it is likely to result in
an awful death. One in high standing
in the medical profession says that
biting the nails is un exceedingly dam
gerous practice, as the bitter never
knows when to stop. and at any mo-
ment is liable to bite into ''the quick"
and cause blood poisoning. Even when
the utmost care is taken, poisonous
secretion is apt to collect on them, and
the entrance of minute portion of
this into the circulation may prove as
certainly fatal as the pus on surgeon 8
scalpel.

Now Is the time when animals, par
ticularly working ones, need most the
kindness and consideration OF their
owners. They, too, suffer from the ex-

means to relieve themselves possessed

toll and natural suffering are enough
for them to bear without additional
bangs from the thoughtlessness or

The Farmers Institute.

Exchanged
Every community ought to have
something Of this kind, call it by
whatever name you please. The
short evenings are now fast passing
away, and as the farmer will have
much more time for literary work
and mental culture, Farm Life sug-
gests thegathering ofneighborhood
clubs which shall meet as often as
once in two weeks to read interest
ing and instructive articles and dis
cuss questions pertaining to i'm
provements IN farming. OtheFpro-
fessions and kinds Of employment
are sure to have their occasional
gatherings, where matters pertain
ing to their vocations are talked
over, and where, as far as possible,
united action to secure common in
terests is made a reality. AS farm
ers, you didn surrender your in
telligence when you entered upon
your life, work and business. The
farmer, no less than his neighbor,
the doctor or the lawyer, when he
loses his desire to excel, will find
himself far behind in the race to a
noble manhood. We also suggest
that it may not be inappropriate to
occasionally take along with you
the wife and some of the older
members of the family in order to
give, them the idea that there is
something besides the drudgery and
monotony of your daily employ
ment in yourchosen vocation. Per-
haps little attention in such di-
rectlon might not be without It's
uses in keeping your boys away
from dens Of infamy and on your
farms. These persons may hear
something which it would be for
their interest to learn, and their
presence be an inspiration to you.
Do not wait for some able writer
from abroad, but be sure first, and
foremost to utilize your own home
talent, even though you may not
at first, or even later on, see signs
of some undeveloped Bacon or De-

mosthenes. BY your presence and
spoken approval make every reader
writer or speaker feel that, however
humble they may be, you have an
ear open for every honest attempt
to make your meetings a success.
Many boy or girl has been born
to blush unseen because opportuni-
ties for development have not pre-
sented themselves while on the farm
and not for lack Of endowments
by their Creator OF course you
will, when practicable, and your
money will permit, bring to your
meetings the wider experience
which able men and women from
abroad can furnish you.
Keep partisan politics out of
these gatherings, as they would be
no more appropriate there than a
political caucus in a religious con-
ference meeting Put that man in
the chair to preside who will make
the best president, whether he tills
"a large farm or only grows vegeta-
bles for the city markets. Don't
undertake too much. You can kill
any meeting with an overloaded
program. Commence your meet
ings promptly and close them early.
Have but few rules and see that
they are kept.
But no matter though your pro-
gram may somewhat differ from
ours, you can, if you will, have an
organization that will be credit
to you and a matter Of interest in
the community, where you reside.
Something like this is the demand
of the hour wherever practicable.

Origin of the Menu.

A German gastronomical publica- ton gves the following account Of the origin of the menu; At the meet ing of electors in Regensburg in the year lIS9 Hector Henry, ot Braun schweig, attracted general notice at Q state dinuer He had long paper before him to which he referred every time before he ordered dish. The earl of Montlori, who sat near him, asked him what he was reading. The elector silently handed inc paper to his interrogator. It contained list Of the ands prepared for the occa- sion. which the cleo or had ordered the cook to write out for him. The idea Of having such q list 90 pleased the illustrious assembly that they in- troduced it each in his own household, and since that time the fashion oi hay ing a menu has spread all over the civilized world.
