Wellington is folly up with her sister towns In everything except a Town Hall, and the signs are all ripe for undertaking this improvement. Lr oar people not forget the excellent reputation they hare earned for enterprise, and try to raise the standard (till higher next Monday by voting lor a new Town Han. A memo, by the people of Lorain to build both Town Hall and Infirmary will increase the rate of taxation in Wellington by only the three mills, the levy necessary for the Town HalL - Lest some shook! misunderstand, we mention that a rote of the majority in favor of the Infirmary Improvement will not in crease the present rate of taxation. It will only continue it one year longer than it otherwise would. ' Thx tax payers of Wellington will only be bled to the tone of 90 cents to each hun dred dollars of property valuation, if the proposition to build a Town Hall should carry. The average man would hardly know H, unless he consulted his last year's tax receipt. PoeTKASTKR-GiyKRAl. How- died at the home of his nephew, James H.

Q. and ft is thought probable that be i WnxraeTOX needs a Town It ill that will comfortably seat from ten to twelve hundred people, with a stage that will ac commodate from fifty to one hundred more. Then we can accommodate Union School Commencements, Political Conventions, Lectures, Concerts, Operas and the higher class of theatrical performances, and we can hare all this at a cost of the poltry sum of thirty cents on each hundred dollars for a period of seven years. Could any one hope to get such an improvement on easier tuna. THKnew National Bank, of Cleveland, mentioned a short time ago completed its organization in the parlors ol the Wed. dell noose last Saturday. Directors: Messrs. S. S. Warner, James Pannell, P.

The charter contemplates a eapitol of 1,000, 000, and the location is at No. 179, Superior Street. - W u iw nninared to disrjuta the state ments of our correspondent who opposes the building of the newwing to the In firmary, but will say that it is our under standing that the County Commissioners will not proceed to baud if the Legisla ture passes the bill to enlarge the capaci ty at the State Lunatic Asvluras. This AaiivnAA rnmAA fmm both the Oommis si on era and Infirmary Directors! who have said so in so many words. The Infirmary Directors said they wouia not iavor Dane ing if there should be a prospect of the State millnv nraviatona for the insane In the next two or three years. We state this that there may be no misunderstanding. Wk are just on the eve of another Town ship and corporation election. Four mem bers of the Council, two members of. the School Board, one Cemetery Trustee and three Townshtp Trustees are to be chosen. We believe that Wellington people have never been accused of an itching for local office, on the contrary, almost all Town ship and corporation officers usually go begging and many of our best business men Invariably refuse to take offices on account of the interference with their busi ness. As a consequence we do not always get the best talent for the several positions. II mere nas oeea any raciue n uw iu the past there is now. Wellington has . . M .VI. reached such a stage in its growth that im provements are demanded and this dftnand will increase as the town increases In pop. ul&tion and wealth, and we need the very best business talent that can be afforded We are aware that men of large business interests are not strongly attracted by the honors of an official position that makes large demand upon ones time without any compensation, but it is a sacrifice they ought to make, each in his turn for the public good. Lntu im most competent men are willing to givjs a share ot their time to the public, we shall never have the most efficient service. . We have no axes to Erind or preference to serve. We are only anxious that the best men avail aC ble shall be selected to fill the offices this year, that no personal feeling shall enter into the content and that every interest may be subordinate to the public good. .A 5ew Town HalL In deference to the wishes of a large num ber of our citizens the Trustees of the town ship have decided to submit the question of the building of a new town hall to the voters at the coming April election, which will Involve a tax not to exceed $30,000. Those who have seen the hall in Ashland, are verynuch pleased with it, and all agree that we want something at least as good. It is estimated that the above sum will be ample to build such a one. The taxable property of Wellington village was listed last year at 1866,382: that of the township $542,817, making a total of $1,409,199. Under the provisions of a general statute a township may levy a tax not to exceed four "mills on the dollar for the period of seven years, and issue and sell bonds for the construction payable as the money received from the levy. A levy of three mills on the present valuation would raise over $29,000 in seven years, and it is pre sumable that the increase of property year by year would make up the sum to $30,000, besides providing for the interest on the bonds. At first thought it might seem that $30,000 was so large a sum as to material ly Increase the burden of taxes, but when is remembered that it is to be spread over a period of seven years making the annual tax larger by only about $4J285. it looks much less formidable. Or to make It more definite and enable each man to estimate just what it would cost him year by year, it may be stated that a tax of throe mills would amount to just thirty cents on each hundred dollars of valuation.' The amount ie really so insignificant that itwould seem that no man of enterprise and ambi tion for the reputat ion and growth of the township, could make a single objection, In fact we believe that a large majority would, on a proposition' to build a town hall by private subscription, undertake to pay a larger sum in two equal annual in stallments, than is proposed to tax them in the whole period of seven years. The necessity for a new hall is too ap parent to need argument and if not, it has been so fully and frequently stated in our columns that it would seem almost super. fluous to restate them. Two societies having but a small propor tion of the wealth of the township have each built" an elegant church, at a cost near ly as great or greater than the amount propos ed for a new town hall, and to the individual members more than six times larger than the total tax required, and paid the whole in from one to three years. They are for the size of the town, both elegant churches finely finished and furnished. They have thus far been opened to many of the better class of entertainments, which have coma to our town, to their great injury, and no one conversant with the circumstances can feel that these places built by private enter prise and for private uses should be longer given for audiences and occasions mat must unavoidably injure them to the amount of many times the sum that is ever received for their rental. Besides they are iOy fitted for the uses for which a town hall is needed. Concerts, lectures, school exhibitions, plays, political meetings, have no place in churches. Coming as they often do in muddy and rainy weather, they have many times damaged carpets and fur niture to more than the value of twenty- five dollars in a single evening. And yet objection has been made to building a town hall, on the grounds that we do not need one when the town has two such fine Churches. This is an objection we had not expected to hear, but since it is made will say that the Churches are not opened willingly to the uses of a town hall, nor do the societies recognize any right on the part of the public to ask them for such pur poses. Every member of those societies, especially those who contributed most largely to their erection will vote cheerful ly for a tax to build a town hall. It is not mentioned in any sense ss a threat, but the feeling prevails largely in both Churches that if outsiders are unwilling to favor the building ot a town halL the expense of which will be much less burdensome to them than to the members themselves, they will feel like closing them to everything except regular Church services. It is intimated that the township outside may oppose the project on the ground that the benefit will largely accrue to the vil lage. It will .be cheerfully admitted that those in the corporation will derive more benefit from it than those outside, yet every citizen of the township is directly or indirectly interested and benefited by every improvement made in it. It will never happen that the advantages to be derived from public Improvements can be reaped equally by all classes, but it must not be forgotten that if greater benefit accrues to the citizens of the corporation,. they also contribute by the amount of the additional value ot their property a larger proportion of the tax required. But there is no objection that can be raised to voting the tax now that cannot be urged with equal force at any future. time. It is not possible to find sn occasion when it will be perfectly convenient for every in dividual to enter upon any given public improvement. The necessities for a town hall were never more urgent, nor the indi cation more favorable for making a begin ning. We anticipate another objection, which may be that other improvements are necessary, such as, lor instance sewerage or water works, we reply tnat any system of sewerage to be at all general in its benefits, would cost a much larger sum than a town hall, while the cost in stead of being met by a general tax, must be largely assessed upon the property abut ting the improvement as construction pro ceded, and would tax the individual five or ten times more than is required for a town hall. It would bear still more heav ily upon the individuals in the corporation by reason of the fact that over one third of the property ol the township bee outside the corporation and having no benefit from sewers could not be taxed to construct them. The same objection holds against water works; besides water works cannot be made available in advance of sewers to take care of the waste, nor can sewers be very useful without water works to flush them and keep them clean. The two ought and usually do, come nearly or quite together, and we think this village is not ready and will not be for several years to come, for two so large and expensive im provements. The town hall is at present the most feasible and urgent need of the township. We hope and expect the prop osition will carry by a very large majority, but the friends of the measure will need to take a personal interest in the matter in the way of explaining it to those whose at tention would not otherwise be called to it, and in showing the necessity, the reasona bleness and the practicability of the pro posed improvement. County Infirmary. To the B41MT at tba BvrBHTOaa. Fifteen years ago the people of Lorain County purchased the farm and erected the present Infirmary building at an ex pense of $44,000. On the 24th inst. at call ot the Commissioners a meeting was held in the Court House at which was voted to submit to the electors of the Coun ty st the next election, a proposition to build a new wing thereto at an estimated cost of $18,000 or $20,000, which opens the door for any amount which design or bad management may suggest. We voted $80,000 for a new Court House when that amount was expended it was too late to pause, and at the present time $140, 000 is nearer the cost. The building com menced on an estimate of $30,000, when that sum is expended it is too late to stop, and any amount demanded must be fur nished. The State Legist ature has a proposition to add to each of the several asylums a wing for the incurable insane. If this be comes a law the main exigency is provided for. The County is already In debt on the Court House $60,000. This adds to the levy one mill. The floods washed away bridges so that the Commissioners are forced to levy one additional mill for bridge fund. If the Sute adds to the State levy for the contemplated additional asylums, and Lorain County votes to levy this $20, 000, for the same purpose, it is piling a double expense on our people. At the meeting this suggestion was scouted at be cause -at was assumed the Slate would never do it. But the recent visit of a Leg- Islative Committee to Newburgh and the amount designated, $142,000, for the addi tion there looks very' much as though the Legislature was in earnest, and the propos ed enlargement of existing asylums would be made. Then the addition to our Infirmary would not be needed. The asylum with exper ienced and trained nurses under State Su pervision is the better place to care for the insane and imbecile. Without a vote the Commissioners are authorized to expend a sum not expeeding $6,000 upon improvements of this kind. That expenditure is amply sufficient for all amounts at present. We hope the peo ple will vote the proposition down. Sharp Practice. A few days since three men, with two horses and a single seated top buggy, be longing to an Elyria livery stable, over took Fred Anderson and wife on their way to Oberlin, and offered to sell him tooth powder, which Anderson refused to buy. The teams had stopped and one of the strangers climbed into Anderson's wagon with four boxes of what purported to be tooth powder, and opening one, counted out $45 in bills, and put into it, then pro posed that Anderson should have his choice of the boxes for $35. Afier some urging be drew and got the right box, then repeat ed it with equal luck, and then took out his own $35 to give in exchange ; but the stranger wanted to draw once and quickly changing the boxes and snatching the $35 was getting away in haste. Anderson would have beaten him in the struggle, but the partner drew a knife and slashed his over coat, and by that time Anderson let go and the men were soon driving rap idly away with both. Anderson's money and their own. Anderson took one horse leaving his wite with the other, over took the villains demanded the money and succeeding in getting $30. He will probably not attempt to play any more games with sharpers. SET. JOSEPH COOK. Press Notices. Referring to Mr. Cook's power of men- tel assimilation, a writer in The Nation of May 13, 1880, remarks: "Thirty lectures per vear for five years, reprinted in fif teen newspapers and filling ten books, one of which has reached a sixteenth edition. is the record upon which Mr. Cook, re tires from the Boston Mondsy lectureship.' He lightens and thunders, throwing a vivid light on a topic by an expression or comparison, or striking; a presumptuous error as by a bolt from Heaven. He it not afraid to discuss the most abstracs. scientific or philosophic themes before a popular audience; be arrests his Hearers, first by his earnestness, then by the clear ness or his exposition, and axes tne wnoie in the mind by the earnestness of his mor al purpose. President James McCosh, Princeton College. At high noon on Monday, Tremont Tem ple was packed to suffocation and over. flowing, although five thousand people were in the Tabernacle at tne same hour. The Temple audience consisted chiefly of men, and was or distinguished quality, containing hundreds of persons well known in the learned professions. Wendell mil lipps. Edward Everett Hale. Bronson AJcott, and many other citizens of emi nence, sat on the platform. No better proof than the character of the audience c uld have been desired to show that Mr. J Cook's populaiitT as a lecturer is not con fined to the evangelical denominations. It U not ofltn that Boston people honor a public lecturer so mncn as to crowd to hear him at the noon-tide of a week day; and when it does this month after month. the fact is proof positive that his subject is one of engrossing interest, nr. look, per haps more than any other gentleman in the lecture-oeia tne past lew -years, nas been so honored.
