B. Richards of near Hastings, fractional district No. 8 of Scio and Lima; Miss Bertha Kee.se of Lima fractional district of Freedom and Lima; Miss Ella Whitney of Chelsea ia the McLaren district; Herman Easton of Lima, in the Thompson district. - The yoting people of this vicinity posseiBing a desire to trip the fantastic too, aro agitating the propoaition to witi To remove the permanent seats from the town house for this purpose, and wheoever meetings are held there supply chairs at their expense.
