The Fational Banner e LETTER FROM CLEVELAND. The crisp, frosty air and a cloudless sky, at this time of the year, tempts one to leave the fireside and go out to seé what is going on. Entering Cleveland from its extreme south-east side, we stop. first to look at the park—a place of about three hundred acres, It is less than two years since the same was an almost' unimproved waste; now, beautiful drives are laid all thro’ it; rustic bridges spanning a natural creek, which has been artistically twisted and curved, filled with miniature islands,fmimic rockeries, placed 80 as to almost terupt me to think they n}ilst. have grown t}xere; a natural forest trimmed to 'beautiful shade trees, making a most delightful resort from the noise and confusion of the city, . Just a few sfepd farther on is the business center of the Sixteenth and Seventeeni’ﬁ' Wards, Here, on Eueclid Avenue, begins the Nicholson pavement, which extends five miles to the heart of the city. There are several nice stores, blacksmith and wagon shops, neat establishments, oyster depot, bakery, post-ofiice, ete. i also, three splendid churches and an elegant firé-engine house. But more especially we notice the beautiful residences. As we drive on, it is one solid line of mansions, built in all the elegance -of modern nrchitecture; yards filled with costly statnary, luxuriant shrubbery, and lawns not stinted in size, making them appear decidedly handsome.. Here we have tlz‘e plainer residence of a “retired minisfer,” who, \ not gaining enough of this‘ world’s goods by preaching the goods of another, has turned his attention:to the universal mania.of speculation. More pretentious piles of stone mark the homes of leading statesmen, and men powerful at the bar. , Here, also, railroad kings, bank divectors, and' mien ’rich in stécks, spread their riches in most dazzling style; the streets are} lined with their coaches, driven by servants in livery. Literary genius, also, adorns a few of these princelyi ‘edifices. Some of these are real “stars” | in the firmament of the world of let- ; ters. Merchant princes, and mere moneyed men, and the millionaire, make up the long line of characters who have done so much to build mup our Pearl] City of the Lakes. v Running parallel south of Eueclid Avenue is Cedar street, which is macadamized, or paved, its entire length. Prospect street, twin sister to Euclid Avenue, also runs parallel south.— Here, also, we find just One line of magnificent residen(&eﬁvand superb business blocks. The street railroad has a double track from the central part of the ¢ity out two and a half miles on Euclid A venue and Prospect street, and a single track to the terminus of the pavement. Cars are run on these roads every ten minutes. :

North, of Euclid Avenue, Superior and St. Clair streets run parallel for six miles. The former is paved part of the way and is under contract to be ﬁl};is;hed the coming, sumner. St Clair is paved two and a half miles, the rest is macadamized, or rather graveled, that is, it is finished with gravel and cinders, making a splendid road of six miles, where it again meets Euclid’ Avenue. = All- the parallel streets are connected by humerous othef streets and avenues,well laid out and built up with handsome houses and business blocks. !

- As we leave Euclid Avenue, we stop at the public square, which used to be a park in the early days of the city. Here we find a small platte of ground, beautifully ornamented with numerous fountains ‘and waterfalls; a rustic bridge over a mimic stream, in which are rocks, stones, moss and ferns, in most exact imitation of nature. ' Walks and rustic seats are plentifully interspersed, and a beautiful stand, made on a foundation of petrified stone and mess work, finished in real‘rustic style, making it a resort for bands and speakers on public occasions. Here, also, we have Perry’s monument, in marble, representing the hero of “Lake” Erie, with his #wo midshipmen. It is a 4 fine Wwork of art and a fitting tribute to the gallant Commodore. -

Now we strike Superior street and the crowd is so dense that we can hardly force our way along, to see what it to be seen. We take the right hand side and pass on with the '.multitude.,é Book-stores, fur:-stores, millinery and fancy emporiuﬁns, all crowded to their utmost extent. Jewelry stores fairly dazzle our eyes with their splendor, and “wé'tu'm'a_way with the half uttered sigh, “why couldn’t we have been born rich, instead of handsome?” Oh, dear! But we pass on, jostling with the crowd, seeing now and then a familiar face; and then we cross over to see the ‘other side, although we have not gone half the length of the Street.

Here, again, we see magnificent blocks, towering story above story, until we grow dizzy at their height. Hardware, gunsmith, boot and shoe, other fancy stores, and the immense dry goods houses, with their bewildering array of finery. - And as they urge a beautiful cloak upon our attention ~~“so cheap, only ninety dollars!” we feel as if we were a nonentity, hardly fit to walk this mundane sphere, or to look a dry goods clerk in the face—they are s 0 very polite. But we are “not prepared to purchase to-day,” so ‘we steal away very quietly, half wishing we were a man and did not covet these pretty things that make a woman look so well. &

As we were very tired, we only glanced at the sewing machine parlors, trunk factories, ete., but will tell you something of our manufacturing interests next time. A.R, E. The possibility of Great- Britain beecoming 'aga’ﬁ a Roman ggttholic country is discussed from time to time in tha papers, but a correspondent of the Qbm‘%e; %m& to have certain proofs that ¥ngland is rapidly gravitating toward Rome.

Letter from Stark County. . WASHINGTON TWP., Dec. 22, EpiTor BANNER:—We have had a good bit of rain within the last three weeks. ‘- Yellow River rose nearly as high as it waslast spring, and it was higher then than it-had been for 2 number of years before. The wheat looked better just before this last snow fell (last Thursday night) than it did six weeks ago. We have had but little snow or cold weather this winter. The Grangers held a meeting in North Bend township last week. Five names were received at this 'place.——“ The farmers through this section generally speak well of the Grangers, but still there are a number” who do not reach down into their pockets quite deep enough to entitle them to full membership. ; ) On the fourth inst. there was preaching in the new Omish chureh two and’ a half miles north of this place. The church is not quite finished yet, but when -completed it will almost be a temptation for some of us poor Starkites to feel a little proud, after exchanging a poor, crowded school-house for a suitable building, with good comfortable seats forall. ~ = . - The schools in this township commenced on the first of this month,— Heretofore we have had but three months of free school in a year, but our Trustee tells/us there will be six this year. If that is the case, he is entitled to a part of the honor. , V. J. Troyer, formerly of Noble county, sold a hog a few days ago that weighed six hundred pounds. Pretty good for the suburbs of Stark; if Uncle Tommy 'l,‘l'itﬁterpol can bgz}t t}xat, we would like to hear from him. = - The hogs that were sold early were purchased-by buyers-from Plymeouth. They cheated the farmers so severely in weighing that they are afraid to sell to them .any jmove., Hogs are about all sold through this section, except a few owned"by “upper tens,” who are holding baek- for six dollars perewt.: - ¢ 2 ity Billy Cat was around g few days ago begging for a living. _lf any one wants a tenant, all he needs do is to give Billy notice and he will be on time. How is that for Cat? : John Levering’s wife, formerly of Noble county, has been sick for about two weeks, but is again on the mend. i i LONGFELLOW.

. From Indian Village. EpIToR BANNER:—Sincé most of the business parts of the county have an occasional correspondent to the BANNER, we think an oceasional voice, from this place might be of interest to its many readers. S - We have for the' past few weeks been engaged in the teacher’s work, atndyyou can fancy a situation like we' have is one of businesé, with a family of sevonty-éiglit pupils, whose ages range from six to twenty-three years. The probabilities are that we will have more when the holidays are over, and judging from the looks of the country, humanity is taking the upper hand so far as its productiveness is concerned. Of course we are not throwing “clubs” at any one. : We are sure to remember our first trip to school, when the weather was gloomy with rain and the roads, of course, were muddy, and we came here not minus, but plus a goodly quantity of “real estate” attached to our lower extremities and -an entire set‘dﬁ weary bones, “to boot.” Those who have lived in a clay country well know' how roads are wont to get when the ground is well soaked with moisture. We would prefer a sandy country at such times were we to “trip it” every week.

We have noticed nothing to attract our attention that is of much importance, but we must see an occasional article in the BANNER, which to us is very annoying, and, we think, much out of place in the columns of a public paper. We now refer to those tit-for-tat essays on secret organizations.— They are not calculated‘to elevatetlie standard of christianity, nor orf"morality. We think one means to discuss the question of”secget orgmmiza while the other, simply by mm gesticulations and impersonal remarks, takes the cowardly advantage of trying to injure his reputation as a man. We always refrain from such indulg: ences, and we believe one who has a desire to be refined will not use such language about his neighbor, and above all, will leave it out of public print. : AT

. To the Point. : That excellent paper, the Crawfordsville Journal, gives expression to these sensible .and truthful thoughts: “The paper which has a large circulation, and is popular as a family paper, and is read very largely, is cheaper for an advertiser,at double or triple the price, than a paper which has not half the circulation, and is almost worthless at any price. As broadecloth is worth more than satinet, as silk is worth more than wool, as linen is worth more than cotton, as coffee is worth more than ‘chickory, as flour is worth more than shorts,” as gold is ?vorth more than pinchbeck, as leather f SAWOrtp more than pasteboard, as tobacco is _worth more than cabbage leaves, so one-paper is worth more to an advertiser than another. The last is just as plain as the first, if a ‘man reflects a moment on the matter. Yet, not reflecting upon it, men are misled very often and feel that one paper is just as good as another; but, as our Irish friend said of men, s 0 ‘one is’as good as another, and a little better, too.” . .

That is just what’s the matter with the BANNER. An advertisement in its columns is worth the money expended therefore every time. Ours is not a half-price concern. : ‘ THE APPOINTMENT of Prof. Agas--Biz’s son as his successor of the Presidency of the Anderson School of Natural History on Penikese Island is a matter for sincere congratulation to ai*l . gqho are tinte"xl"ésted in thé"iﬁcbess of the project, The name of . iz will continue®6 be associated with the institution which the late Prof. Agas--Biz organized, = and Mr, Alexander Agassiz’s fitness tpr:tgwition‘ has already been demonstratéd. ~ % __.‘.7‘..‘”'o-‘.’-'——“‘-’—-——“3, Gl GROH is now paying 26 ot fér eyfys:. and 25 cents per pound for butter,
