STRANGE MIDNIGHT CALL.

On Saturday evening last between
IL and II o'clock, Rev. j. III. Kleek-
amp was awakened from his slumber
by prolonged ringing ofhis door bell.
Instead Of going down to the door he
raised the window and inquired what
was desired. A stranger replied that
a man had been seriously injured by
the cars and desired the services of a
priest. He was directed to ge at once
to the depot. Rev. Kleekamp replied
that he would go as soon as possible
and requested the messenger not to
wait for him. He then discovered
there were three men instead of one
as at first supposed.
As soon as possible Rev. Kleekamp
started for the depot, but did not see
anything of the men wac called him,
nor did he md anyone who had been
injured and inquiry CT the station
agent and Marshal Thornton proved
that no accident had happened. Ii
then occurred to Rev. Kleekamp that
the call had possibly been made with
the intention of either sand bagging
him or covering him with revolver
while the house was being robbed.
Upon returning home he was ac
companied by the Marshal and tn,
residence was searched but nothing
had been disturbed and evidently tht
house had not been entered.

The Resolution providing for a
vote on the question of waterworks
in Perrysburg will come up for its
third reading in the council this
(rhursday) evening and it is to be
hoped will be passed. The resolution
does not determine that water works
shall be established, but merely gives
to the people the right to pass judg-
ment upon the proposition and say
by their ballots what they desire
therefore the passage of the resolu-
tion takes off the shoulders of the
councilmen all responsibility and
places it upon the people where it
rightfully belongs. In case the prop
osition is voted down the members of
the council will have the satisfaction
of knowing that the people had made
their own choice and they (the Coun-
ciD were free of all responsibility.

Toledo papers are deyoting con.
siderable space to the discussion of
aood prospects and some of the opin-
ions published are really amusing.
In one case a wise man declared that
he had examined the ice and river
from the bay to Defiance aud on ac-
count of the thick ice he concluded
there would be no flood this spring;
another gave it as his opinion that
the ice had rotted so much on Mon
day and Tuesday that there was no
danger and that Toledo people might
go to sleep and leave all their prop
erty on the dock and have no fear, or
words to that effect. just what sus-
tenn of reasoning is used in forming
these opinions is something that the
people who have lived along banks
of the river for the last fifty years
have been unable to learn but Toledo
can probably furnish brains Tor all
occasions, The condition of the
river is exactly the same at this point
as existed last Spring before the food
and it is of course possible that no
great damage will result from the
annual breakup, but who is there
who knows positively what a few
days of rain may do? With ice rang
ing from "a to 36 inches in thickness
and foot or more of snow on top OF
the ice, a heavy rain has a good
chance to make things lively along
the banks of the usually placid stream
and the people who have property
along the banks where high water car
cause damage will be very unwise tc
take chances on the "no cause fol-
alarm" stories published by men who
think they can judge what the Mau
NEE will do if it gets water enough tc
work with.
