Mr.F. P. Kanister, is preparing to

build a residence in North Cleveland.

There is trouble brewing in the public

school, it seems between one of the

teachers, the principle and the school

board. It is to be hoped that the trouble

will be amicably settled at once.

A gang of rough characters, evidently

drank,”painted the town red” last night,

by tearing up steps, breaking down

fences, smashing up street lamps, etc.

The city officers are looking into the

matter, and if they are found out they

ought to be punished in such a way that

will forever stamp out such outrageous

conduct.

Hon. John Devor, who was the repub-

lican elector for the fourth district of

Ohio during the last campaign, is in the

city visiting his estimable wife, who has

been in the city during the past two

months for her health. Mr. Devor is

perfectly delighted with our little city,

and we hope tat he may conclude to

make it his permanent home.
