JAMES II. PIERCE.

II is our duty, in this issue, to max
record of the death OF james I'll. Pierce,
of this village: and it is with feelings
of heartfelt grief and regret that we
proceed to the task; u grief that is shared
by every old citizen. not only OF Per-
rysburg, but of the county at large. In
private life, as a citizen and leader
among the public spirited men OF this
municipality, Mr.. Pierce was recog'
nized us man of sterling integrity,
wise In judgment and kind, charitable
and open handed in all things; and for
his worth here at home, alone, his loss
would be deeply felt bv all. But 1t is
not in privaGe life that the strongest
points in the character OF such men as
he are brought out and made to shine
with the greatest brilliancy.
AS Commissioner of Wood county
from 1872 to 80, an opportunity was
afforded Mr.. Pierce to show the metal
whereof he was made. II was the Pc
riod when the great special ditch work,
the building of the hundreds OF thous-
ands of dollars worth of Waterways for
the drainage of the land, was in pro-
gress; a work that gave Wood county
the greatest stimulus to material de-
yelopment of anything ever undertaken,
work which required a leader on the
Board of Commissioners with an iron
nerve, an iron will and an incorruptl-
BILE honor, to battle with unscrupulous
contractors on the one hand, and with
unwisc, contentious taxpayers on the
other; and in all these particulars; In
every crisis in the work, James Pierce
filed the requirements oil leader to
the lettcr,-aud had plenty of reserve
force left.
Comparatively few. probably not one
in a hundred. of our citizens Of to-day
realize what the lsSpplc of Wood
county owe to james H.. Pierce for his
public services, but some do, and the
large attendance of leading men from
1hc county seat-thc scene of much oil
his good wori-and from other
parts of the county, at the funeral on
Wednesday, was but voluntary recog-
milton, by those who know, OF the
worth of the man. And each Of these,
as he dropped Il tear and sprig OF
evergreen into the open grave OF the
departed, felt that they were burying
away from the sight of men forever,
the casket of what had been Il pearl o.
unusual worth to them, while the
deathless pearl itself mad gone to the
reward awaiting those who have done
their duty with unswerving faith and
untiring energy.
Farewell, James Pierce. Thousands
earnestly regret thy death, and fair
would have thy bluff, honest form
among us still. But, since go thot
must, there are none who would moi
wish thee go as thou didst: quietly
peacefully, painlessly; like the sleep o
childhood among the blossoms o
springtime, as thou hadst said to life
Then steal away; give little warming;
Choose thine own time;
Say not good night but in some brighter clim
Bid me good morning"

ARE THE PEOPLE WILLING
To Pay Double tho Present Price for
Newspapers, Magazines and other
kinda of LItcrnture.


Newspapers, Magazines and other
kinds of Literature.
Parties are going about representing
TO business men that publishers are n
favored class; and do not pay as high \
rate OF postage as they should. The
claim is made that il postage on news
papers, magazines, ETC., is increased
seven cents per pound, then letter pos
tage would be reduced from two cents
to one cent for each letter. Such state
ments are not true, but they cause bust
ness men to feel dissatisfied, hence
Congress has been urged to increase
postage on printed matter. AS re-
suit the lower house of Congress. on
April 10th, adopted an amendment
raising the rate of postage on certain
kinds of periodicals. If the people do
not enter their protest, this will prove
DEATH BLOW TO CHEAPLITERATURE
IN THIS COUNTRY,
AS publishers will be compelled to
charge oyer double the present price
for great portion OF the printed mat
ter, because of increased postage. The
increase OF seven cents pound for pos
tage Is over double the price of nearly
all the paper used at the present time
This forced increase in the price Of
literature will in reality fall on those
people who live in small towns and in
the country, because they receive most
of their reading matter by mail. The
publishers profit is already down to
the lowest possible limit, hence an in
crease in postage can only result in a
great increase in the price OF reading
matter.
AS this will cause vast majority OF
the people to pay over twice as much
for their reading matter as they do now,
or curtail the amount over one half, we
urge each and everyone OF our readers
to write letter at once to the Con-
gressman from his district, and also q
letter To each of the United States Sem
ators from his state, and demand that
the postage shall not be increased on
any kind of printed matter. Tell your
Representative in Congress that you do
not live in II large town or city, where
they have free delivery of mail by let
ter carriers, which costs the postal de-
partment about Twelve Million Dollars
(Sl2, 900. .000) year, therefore you de-
mand as an offset to this great eXpendi-
ture which benefits only small por'
ton cf the entire population, that all
kinds of printed matter, including books
in paper covers, be carried in the mails
at the same rate OF postage as the last
five years.

suitable provision for him which
he had so long neglected to make
for himself.
A woman whose life was en-
shrouded in mystery died in Par
is in December last at the ad-
vanced age of 81. She gained her
living as a medicant, and owing
to her shabby attire and miserable
appearance, was the recipient of a
good deal of money in the shape
Of aims. She was never known TO
refuse anything, but was in the
habit Of telling her benefactors TO
keep away from the side of her
dress on which she carried her
purse. This was usually set down
to CraZiness; but when it was dis
covered on her death, that she had
left a large sum in bonds
and bank notes sewn up in an old
mattress, and that moreover,
she had a valuable collection of
paintings, by old and modern art
lists, in her garrett, she was proved
to have been more miserly than
mad. The interesting fact was
brought to light thas she had been
a noted beauty in the days of Louis
Philippe.
Another French miser died of
his own neglect of himself two or
three months ago. He was known
to have lived for a considerable
time in very great style, but ulti-
mately became a misanthrOpe and
miser, forsaking his old haunts
and spending his time at the Ma
tional Library. One day when
leaving that institution he fell eX-
hausted in the street, and had to
be carried to his miserable abode,
where he shortly afterward ex-
pired, a victim of his own penuri-
Gus ways. Although he was so
mean that he washed his own linen
and borrowed the soap for the
purpose, he was discovered to
be an extremely wealthy man, for
in a trunk in his room among va
rious pieces of paper backs of pros
pectues, grocers' paper bags and
other rubbish there was found a &c
piece and a bank book showing
that he had standing to his credit
at the bank funds amounting to
nearly 81, 100000.
1t seems almost incredible that
anybody having 81 much money
at his command should prefer star
walton to the comforts of this life,
but human nature presents some
phenomena for which it is abso-
lutely impossible to account.

Probably the most miserable Of all
mortals is the misguided being
who, in order to heap up riches,
not only denies himself Of the COM
mon comforts of life, but actually
starves himself into an early grave.
This gluttOnous greed of gold is
one of the worst features of human
nature, and is seen in all it's ghast-
ly hideousness when one of it's
wretched victims is discovered
stark, stiff and cold, having per-
ished, perhaps, in the very act Of
gloating over the dross which has
literally cost him his life, but
which, if rightly applied, might
have prolonged his days, and, not
improbably, the days of others.
Such a case occurred a short time
ago in a Northern town, where an
old man was found dead in a small
room over a shop, in which he had
lived all alone for five or six years.
AS he had not been seen for two or
three days, the neighbors became
alarmed and broke in the door,
when his lifeless body was dis
covered on the floor. By his side
was a bag containing no fewer than
forty-tive ~sovereigns, a number OF
the same coins being also on the
floor, from which it was conjec-
tured that death overlook the
miser as he was counting over his
hoard. More gold, as well as some
silver, vas discovered in a jar con-
cealed behind a box on a shelf in
the old mans room, the total
"find" amounting to over $3.50.
Not long afterward a wealthy old
woman died under similar circum.
stances in the neighborhood of the
capital of the Midlands, where, fol
many years, she had lived in q
large house by herself. Nothing
having been see of her for a week
the police were instructed by a rel
ative to break into the house, anC
on this being done the body of the
woman was found in an advanced
state Of decomposition in a room
upstairs, with checks and othel
valuable papers strewn around.
The miserably habits of a Lon
don bookkeeper had a fatal termi
nation in December last. Fo
many years he had lived alone, ant
was noted for his resolute neglec
of himself. He would never ALLOW
anybody to interfere with his room
which, like his body, was in a real
~ deplorable condition, and, al
though he was the owner of a con
siderable number Of houses, hi
daily fare consisted Of bread an
water.
An extraordinary case was re
ported to the Huddersield Boar

An Improvement in Electric Bells

One Of the most Objectionable
qualities Of the electric bell is its
uniform noisiness and shrillness.
There are many places in which an
alarm of a less aggressive and per-
emptory nature is desirable, an it
surprising that a "quiet" electric
bell has not been manufactured for
use in offices, hotels, or private
houses. The bell can be adjusted
to make as much or as little noise
as may be needed. Its principle
feature is that it can be used either
as a low-striking bell, a single
stroke bell or as an ordinary trem-
bling bell, according to the way it
is connected on.
