MONDAY EVENING, Sep. 10, 1877. Staats 1 50 On motion council adjourned. THE LAST OF A first Methodist church built in Canton, and one of the first in this section of Ohio, was torn down this week. The structure was of frame, one story in height, and was built in the year 1832 by Thomas ham, whose sister, Eliza Cunningham, still lives on South Plum street; the site on which the church was built was the south side of what is now West Eighth street on the lots now 00- cupied by J.

O. Palmer and W. 9. Schertzer as residences, and there it remained until 1866, when the new and more elegant brick church was completed at Tuscarawas and Poplar streets; at this time it was purchased by H. W.

Wertz, moved to the corner of 7th and Poplar and converted into a ware-100m for his carriage factory; here it has since remained intact until last Monday when the work of demolition commenced. Previous to the erection of the old church the small tion worshipped in the old academy, where the west school building now stands, and the leading spirits among them, and those who were most energetic in building the church, though few in number and poor in purse, were the following whose names will sound familiar to our older restdents John and Thomas Bonfield, Peter Toffler, (who was the leading spirit), Newbery Cline, John Webb, and Birchfield. There were then but three churches in Canton besides this, the German Lutheran, St. John's Catholic and the old Presbyterian. Among those who were earliest among the converts to this church we find the names of Joshua Saxton, Madison Raynolds, Wm, Dunbar, Jacob Rex and a few others well remembered.

The old timbers are still sound and good for many and will probably be converted into a dwellyears, ing house by Joseph Eckert, into whose possession they have fallen. The congregation which sprung from this old church and which now worships in one of the finest church edifices in the county, is probably the largest and wealthiest among about sixteen or eighteen Protestant organizations in the city. BIG MOUTH. The variety of genius operating the Repository and playing through that organ is observable by a watchful perusal. The heavy battery of the chief is always noticeable-no mistaking it.

And then there is the mighty Voltaire genius who sends forth his brilllant corruscations in dazzling with Operatic power. But, after all, the splendor red baired, blue-eyed child is the principal power in giving the organ popularity and zest. He gets down to such familiarity, is so unassumptious with it all, not troubled with a "jaundiced eye," nor hedged in by specious rules of antiquated proprie ty. In fact, he is the chief. colian power of the concern as may be known by His bair that is red, his eyes white and blue, With a hole in his face where the skim milk goes through.

Were he the child of an Indian chief his title would be "Big Mouth teachers of drawing and penmanship are employed in our Union schools in most of our large towns oftentimes also a teacher of music. But reading, the most important of all, receives not this sort of special attention, when, as a rule, there is more need of it. As says: "Of equal honor with him who writes a grand poem. is he who reads it Longfellow grandly." Emerson says: "A good reader summons the mighty dead from their tombs and makes them speak to you ore tenus." Ruskin writes: "If I could leave a son or daughter, possessed of but one accomplishment in life, it should be that of good reading." Chapin says: "Our best public readings have come to be our best public entertainments." Cowper's lines are learned by rote a parrot may rehearse, But talking is not always to converse; Not more distinct from harmony divine. The constant creaking of a country sign." JOHN WALL'S -Last Friday Deputy Sheriff McKinney brought John Wall from his farm eight miles north east of town, to the Probate office upon a complaint of insanity.

After examination before Judge Heldenbrand of neighbors, friends and Drs. L. M. Whiting and other physiclans, he was pronounced insane and taken to the County Infirmary to await transportation to Newburg. Our informant stated that Wall had been in trouble with his neighbors about a ditch and had let the matter torment him until he became insane.

W. Wertz the carriage builder, Seventh and Poplar streets, stead has will torn down his old store bouse and in its erect a fine three story brick, extending from the present brick to Poplar street. The building will have an open business front on Poplar street and will afford greatly increased facilities. Bucher, Gibbs Co. are putting up an addition to their Plow works, on East Seventh street to be used for grinding purposes.

ROBBED IN Devolsaud, a well known Cantonian who emigrated to Texas some time since and opened a repair shop at Sherman, was robbed of about a hundred dollars and a watch one night last week by a burglar who entered his house, (Original.)

Oof Chefferson und Mattison, Oof Weiss and Cheneral Lee A PAIR OF the early part of last week two smooth talking, well dressed fellows came to Canton, and, stopping at the St. Cloud hotel, gave their names as Miller, and professed to be canvassing for some sort of a publication in the interest of physicians. Before they proceeded to canvass Canton, one of them called on William Volkman, in the DEMOCRAT building, and claiming to be a member of the Knights of Pythias, Red Cross Lodge of Cleveland, tried to obtain five dollars, but Billy's eye teeth had been cut and he refused to bite.

Next day a letter was received from A Massillon Knight, stating that two such fellows had been there and made themselves conspicuous, not only in the above manner, but one of them got on a high drunk and visited the Mayor at the request of a policeman, when he way fined for disorderly conduct. This letter also stated that two men, whose description was found in these two almost to the kink of each individual hair, had been in Chilicothe, a few days before, where they had died the K. P. lodge out of $30. Failing to get any money from the Knights they began to operate on the medical fraternity, and after visiting several obtained a few dollars in advance from one of them.

But Volkman had been on their track and ascertaining their game, warned one of the doctors, who immediately notified the police, and on Thursday night they were taken in by Marshal Webb, and after an examination at Dr. Portman's office, were permitted to go, protesting that they were not guilty and declaring that they would complete their canvass in Canton and set themselves right before leaving. Friday they "folded their tents like the Arab and silently stole away," sloped, vamoosed and left their baggage at the St. Cloud subject to a remittance which may and may not be received. A MISSING DOOR KNOB.

-The other night a fourth ward man who had been out sampling beer, went home attended by a friend, who was desirous of seeing him safely to his door. The friend stood off and watched while the fourth warder went up to try the door; it was quite late, and as he stood on the step looking cross-eyed at his left ear, he began passing his hand in a jerking manner over the surface of that side of the door next to the hinges; he stopped a moment to soliloquize: "Wazer devil smatterth 'at door? Sumsin smatter." Then he began rubbing and feeling about next to the hinges again and after an unsuccessful search he gave up in despair and as he wilted to a drooping position on the step he muttered to his waiting companion: "Jim, don't wait fer me; 'sno use; bizness is bizness, an' I jus' gotter shtay here all night; teller what's 'er mazzer, Jim, when my wife takes 'er door knobs in zis timer night, she means bizness." Jim then went in and found the knob in its proplace, and the dozing man was bounced in per and his friend bounced out just in time to escape benefit. morning about four o'clock the dwelling house of J. J. Adams near Navarre, was discovered by the neighbors to be on fire.

They hastened to the scene and used all exertions in attempting to stay the flames and save household effects, but without success, as the house and all its contents were consumed. The fire is supposed to have been of incendiary origin. as none of the family were at home, and the first to arrive at the found the doors open, Loss not stated, inspot surance $1200 on the house and $300 on contents, in the Ohio Farmers. FINE may be seen on hibition in the post office a beautifully executed specimen of off-hand penmanship by our young friend William Feller, principal of the night school recently started in the Cassilly block. It is worthy of close examination from all who are interested in this direction.

Mr. Feller is meeting with all the success anticipated in the establishment of a night school here, and as he is a competent and attentive preceptor the institution will doubtless become one of importance to young men who cannot attend day school. "My Dear," said Mr. S-, to his blooming helpmeet, "I must congratulate you on your improvement in cakes, biscuit, bread, rolls, every kind of pastry in short." "Oh said the wife, "I've solved the secret by using the greatest thing in the market for baking DOOLEY'S YEAST POWDER. Henceforth I'll use no other." As a life preserving aparatus the mild eyed but business like young man of the Rep.

is a success. Tuesday last he succeeded in stopping no less than two excited horses, each attached to a carriage containing an affrighted lady. Such ubiquity and devotion are truly commendable. The Zanesville races occur on the 17, 18, and 19 inst. Premiums amounting to $3,500 will be given, ANOTHER DUCK Since the organization of the new boat clubs, whose frail crafts with wide outriggers are kept at the lake, there has been a great deal of promiscuous and involuntary ducking, This may be fun' for lookers on but it isn't for the upset one, we know this, having been there.

Last week, during the United Brethren picnic, a smart young fellow said he was an old puller, he was, and by permission got into a light working boat and pulled carefully away from shore; when 8 long wAys out he was, observed to drop his oars, grasp wildly at nothing, flop out and disappear head first and with his feet about six, feet apart pointing in different directions. He came up 800n and managed to paddle around until assist ance came. Que fellow yelled to him: "Come in out of the wet," and others enjoyed the fun better than anything since their next neighbor, an amateur cornetist, died. The young man was well dressed and had on everything, even to his neck tie, hat and boots. It wasn't much of a picnic to him after that.

AMUSEMENTS. -Miss Jane Coombs, supported by an excellent company, will appear in this city on next Thursday evening, Sept. 20. Miss Coombs is acknowledged as one of the leading actresses of America, and one who does not deal in cheap sensation, bogus emotion and modern stage bustness, but an actress in the true sense of the word. She will appear next Thursday evening at the Opera House, as Juliet in Shakespeare'8 Romeo and Juliet, and all who fail to see her will miss one of the finest performances we shall have this season.

Mrs. Henrietta Chanfrau with an excellent company will hold the boards during the four nights of the county fair, commencing October 10, Mrs. Chanfrau is a widely known and excellent actress. Miss Effe Ellsler, one of America's most prominent actresses, will appear in this city on the 24th in the character of "Rosalind" in Shakespeare's "As you like it." Miss Ellsler has met with fine receptions in the largest cities, west and will be supported by a strong company, MAYOR'S COURT. Johnny Jones, the "little aulder mon fun Pennsylfawny, Lancaster gownty" was fined $5 and costs for drunk and disorderly conduct.

John Kelly, not John the drayman, was fined the same amount for the same offense. John and George Nye were on a little brotherly hurrah the other night and raised a noise in the first ward. When they were arrested John was so mulish that he had to be hauled up in wagon. They were fined $5 and costs each and committed till paid. They will also stand further committed for drunkenness and resistance to an officer last July.

THE VALLEY RAILWAY. -Mr. A. B. Stone has returned from England where, by the assistance of Mr.

Cyrus Field, he effected an arrangement with the English stockhoiders of the Marietta Road in favor of the proposed consolidation with the Valley Road. The English capitalists will furnish $800 000 8 8 basis for the consolidation and completion of the road. This was made contingent upon the consent of the German stockholders, whom Mr. Field has gone now to communicate with. The English stockholders ap: pointed an agent to examine the condition of the Valley Road, and he will commence work in a few weeks.

Ed. Patton, whom we mentioned in a previous issue as lying ill in Iowa, was brought home a week or so since by his father, Thomas Patton, Esqr. who went after him. The case was evidently one of sun stroke, as Ed. had driven almost three thousand miles over the plains in an wagon.

It is gratifying to hear that he is improving rapidly and will soon be all right. C. A. Dougherty has also become a victim to Hays fever, and will go to Kansas, and embark in the practice of dentistry. It isn't exactly pleasant to have a dental operation performed, but when necessary, we know of no one we would rather have jerking out our jaw than Charley.

He has had experience and is a careful operator. ROSH Saturday was observed by the Jews throughout the word as their New Years day, and in Canton all business conducted' by that sect was suspended, save in two instances. Next Monday, the 17th will be observed in the same manner by the Israelites, it being Yom Kippur, or atonement day. LARGE FREIGHT -Last Monday morning thirty- four freight cars were unloaded at the Canton depot, all having goods consigned to business men of this place. Other cargoes were received at different times during the day, but for one lot this was a very heavy arrival.

A large number of car loads of bulked wheat also passed eastward for exportation. We see that John T. Raymond has come out in a new p'ay by Bartley Campbell, in which Sellers appears as a life insurance agent. To off set the busted vests and lost buttons caused by laughing at his Col Mulberry, Sellers, it would now seem that he contemplates talking people to death. CALLED -D.

T. Lawson, of Wellsville, gave us a call on Saturday last. Our readers will remember that Mr. Lawson was the Democratic candidate for Congress in this district in 1868 and made an energetic canvass. He continues in well doing and is ever the urbane gentleman.
