| About $50 O'Clock last Sunday morning
Conrad Ruedy, who is employed at Quaker
| Mills, started from his home, to relieve the
night watchman. AS he neared the office he
noticed a train on the Erie coming from the
| west, as he thought very slowly. He en-
deavOred to cross the track in front of the
locomotive, but had miscalculated either the
speed or distance of the train, and was struck
by the engine, and thrown several feet, for
tunately not landing on the track. The train
men helped him into the Mill Office, and
carriage was called, which conveyed him to
his home, where it was found that no bones
were broken, his injuries consisting of a Sc
we're shaking up and some bad bruises. 1t
was a narrow escape.

Prof. Myers is meeting with a very graft
lying assurance of appreciation by the people
Of Ravenna. The opening night of the Con-
Vention was very successful one, fully 200
persons meeting with him to avail themselves
Of this opportunity for instruction. The
price for the entire course of two weeks, to
persons outside of the Church
will be 80 cents, instead of 81, as previously
This is a valuable privilege of
acquiring vast amount of practical musical
knowledge for very small consideration.
The Professor is certainly doing a good
work.
Miss Amanda Kidder gave very accepta-
BILE and enjoyable entertainment at the Uni
Church, last Friday evening. She
is an elocutionist of no ordinary talent, and
her abilities certainly entitle her to distin-
guished mention. In some respects she has
few equals. Her voice is strong and com
yet capable of exquisite modula-
ton; her presence queenly and graceful,
and her gestures natural and highly ex-
presslVe. She particularly excels either in
the heroic or pathetic. Her "Pantomime of
the Emotions" was splendid. She did not
fail to elicit generous applause, prolonged |
IN each instance to an encore. Her hearers
were well entertained, and her second ap-
pearance in Ravenna will be remembered |
with pleasure equal to that of the first one, |
year ago. A number of musical selections |
from local talent completed the program.
