The faces of the locks, knobs. and match-

The following from the Toledo Commer-
cial. upon Mr. Mayo and his company is so
true that we copy it. “Davy Crockett" .we
have the sensational drama devoid of its
niost repelling elements. The. spectators
are net annoyed by the constant explosion
of blank cartridges. nor disgusted with the
imbecile pranks of foolish “Iniuns.” nor for-
ced to witness the sonlvharrowlng demise of
every individual of the company previous
to the close of the entertainment. There
is none of this, but the piece does not lack
exciting scenes; some of which. noticeably
that of the attack by the wolves. are fear-
fnlly realistic. Mr. Mayo‘s impersonation
of the backwoods hero is natural. pathetic—
at times grand. His flue presence. grace of
gesture, and admirable nlakc-up. do much
for the success of his part. and his delivery
has in it a goodly share of that which is Gril-
eulatod to “enthuse“ an audience. An ad-
nilrablo support woe rendered by Miss Jos—
ephine Laurens, as Eleanor Vaughn. who
shared with Mr. Mayo the appropriation of

The distance is 1760 feet. The H. d; L. Co._
uladc it in El. m. 10. s. The lines boys then
tried the hydrants on Water street after
which, with the 11. & L.Co.. an exhibition
was made on the square. Six streams were
got in operation at one time, and it was a
gratifying sight to see so lunch water. where
only a year ago we had nothing but a cis—
turn with which to save property from fire.
From a single stream it is estimated that
water was thrown perpendicularly 125 feet.
50 feet above the Lounabnry building.
From the top of Peeks Drug store. a stream
was thrown over the depot. a distance of
180 feet direct line. through 250 feet of hose.
At the time the six streams were in oper-
ation tlicy Were thrown through the follow-

meetings have been held. The fillat‘llt‘t‘ of
the pastor at Confluence. and the tllsap
point-tents in supplies. have had to be wil~
tluucd with. but. despite these. the meetings
have been well attended and much good
done. Mr. Siliiononltou returns to the work
with renewed cnrrgy. and his presence is
immediately felt.
At the congregational church preaching
services have been dispensed with but inert.
ings of experience. consultation. and advise
have been held on most. of the evenings,
and the interest is unabated.
AT THE Burris-'1' ClllJltl‘lf,
Ml clings were held on Tues-lay, Wednesday.
Thursday and Friday evenings,with preach-
ing by Rev. ‘Mr. llnrnea. The interest
which has characterized these niccling< dur-
ing the past two months still continues. ul~
though noticeable to less degree on W'cdnos-
day evening than at any other meeting dur-
ing the week, owing no doubt to the absclise
of tlic pistor. On Tuesday evening the
sermon was perhaps the. most powerful
which Mr. Barnes has preached during his
labors in our midst. The Friday evening
meeting was quite brief but well attended
and of much interest. Devotional meetings
will be helion Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday evenings of unit week. the hi
day evening meeting being for the present

Touch a man‘s pocket-book and you
touch his soul ; a very wise and equally
true saying. None are so dull but that
when you call on them for money the pro.
position arouses them from their state of
lethargy and inaction and causes their pulse
rapidly to increase. and makes thvir blood
to rush in hot haste through their veins.
while their whole frame tremblee like an
engine under n sudden increased pressure of
steam. hastening to be oil—around the cor-
ner or anywhere. The publican of ancient
days and the tax~gatherer of more modern
times always‘was, is, and always will be a
listed object; one whom no one wishes to
encounter. one whom we are never ready or
prepared to receive, no matter how willing
be may he to give us a reocipt. We think of
all the offices of a city or town that of tax
collector is the most thankless. He must
receive, besides taxes. all the scowls, black
looks and surly language of the communi-
ty. Who ever dreams of being polite to
him? The picture of him which is formed
in our imagination is always that of hn ex—
tortioner.
Especially true is this at the present time,
when all trade in in a state of stagnation.
and when every body desires to retain with-
in their ovvn hands as long as possible all of
the circulltting medium which they may be
fortunate enough to possess. This feeling
and also the feeling that the expenses “a,
of course. the taxation. mass or should be
reduced in our city.filled the minds .of
most of our citizens when they attend”
the meeting on Honday evening. Having
sonaesnperlnons tam on our hands we en-
