the noted lecturer, was preaching in
the First Congregational Church of

another one was built on the same
ground the next year.

An accident which might nave re-
suited in serious fire occurred at the
home of G. E. Splitter on South Main
street, last Thursday evening. The
little son of Mr.. Splitter upset a stand
upon which was lighted lamp. When
the lamp struck the floor, it broke,
throwing the oil over the carpet, rugs,
chair and curtains, which ignited and
filled the room with fire and smoke.
The burning stuff was thrown out doors
and the fire extinguished, but not un-
til damage to the amount of about $40
was done, which was fully insured.
1t may be discriminating against the
plummer to offer suggestions for cir
cumventing Jack Frost, but it has been
done in this wise: Hot stove wood, fiat
irons and soap stones wrapped in heavy
paper and tucked into cold corners
about the water pipes and changed as
often as they cooled. Kept our bath
room warm through the day and until
midnight with the aid Of the hot water
tank, and from midnight until morn
ing, large coal oil lamp did thu work
without further attention There is no
ice on the walk to the peril of life and
limb where the snow is frequently
shoveled and swept while it is falling.
A great many Of our people who at
tended the meetings at Lake Side,
dozen years ago, made the acquaint-
ance Of Rev. Z. G. Gavit, minister who
preached ir Northern Ohio in the early
history of our town. He was the auth
or of a very interesting book giving his
experience under the head Crumbs
from my Saddle Bags" He says in
1880 he went out on afternoon to pre-
pare his sermon for the coming Sab
bath, on the farm now owned by E. w.
Houghton, and while seated in a thick
ct of underground toward evening the
deer commenced entering the new
wheat field until he counted fifty-four
deer and three large elk.
