We find the following sensible article in tho Sidney Democrat in regard tramp printers: "Tramps, calling them selves printers, are requested to keep clear of the Democrat office. The pub lisher is rich but ungeuerons, and not give a dollar or two to every drunken vagabond who oomes around and -alls himself a printer." Under tho head of "amusement" the Hancock Courier we rind the lowing: "Feb. 4, Boss minstrels Wheeler's Hall; Feb. 5, the same; Feb. 7, services at all the churches; Fob. masquerade at WTheoler's Hall ; Feb. masquerade at Prcsnail's Hall : common pleas court every day."

This was immediately followed by other shots, one of which missed him, while tho other struck him in the ankle, shattering it. Next morning, George Hurd and Alexander Ediuistou, young men who live there, werochuvged with the crime and arrested. No reason is given for the assault, but is supposed to have been caused by too umoli whisky. The wound will probably render Roberta a cripple for life. The following ooinplinicntn'.y notice of our city architect, Mr. J. C. Johnson, we find in the Defiance Democrat : "Our readers are aware tliat a new State House is to be constructed in Indiana at a of several millions.

Sorry to spoil a good thing. There were three plana recommended to Legislature a majority report favoring one and a minority report another, while the entire board.

The recent calico ball may b fairly credited with giving rise to the following cheap mode of producing a lady's dress. Probably two of tho most attractive dresses on said occasion, and both nlike worn respectively by Mrs. H. W. Buck land, and Miss Alice Hale, were made of unbleached calico 10e. per yard, aud trimmed with black cambric 12;o. per yard, each dross costing $2.25. This valuable hint may afford some consola tion in cortaiu quarters. Personals. Mr. Daniel June, Senr., of tha firm of D.

E. A L. R.R., who recently received injuries to his ankle, is again at his post, and appears to have almost recovered. The Simple Secret. lwenty clerks in a store, twenty hands in a printing oflioe, twenty ap prentices in a ship-yard, twenty young men in a village all want to get on in the world aud expect to do so. One of the clerks will become a partner aud make a fortune; oneof the compositors will own a newspaper and become au in fluential citizen ; oneof the apprentices will become a master builder; one of the young villagers will get a handsome farm and live like a patriarch but which one is the lucky individual f Lucky ! Thero is no luck about it. Tho thing is almost as certaiu as the rule of threo. The young fellow who will dis tance his competitors is he who masters his business, who preserves his integrity, who lives cleanly aud purely, who de votes his leisure to acquisition of knowl edge, who gaius friends by deserving them, and who saves his spare money. There are some ways to fortune shorter than this old, dusty highway; but the staunch mon of thn community, the men who achieve something really worth having, good fortune, good name, and sereue old age, all go on tliis road. THE WHOLESALE BUSINESS HOUSE OF R. & J. CUMMINGS, TOLEDO. One of the Most Extensive Jobbing Firms in Boots, Shoes, Rubbers, &c., in Western America. Its Origin, Progress and Unequalled Facilities. A Highly Important Acquisition to the Commercial Resources of the Famous "Corn City." During our very pleasant duty of re viewing the immense oommeroial re sources and unsurpassed facilities of tho leading wholesale houses in Toledo, with a view of unquestionably establish ing the advantage afforded by Western markets over those of the East in which mission we have zealously labored for ovor twelve months, with the moat I i ! i i gratifying evidences cf success it ha not, hitherto, fallen to our lot to refer to the very important class of trade comprised in thn text of the present article. Heuee, we deem ourselves highly complimented with the priv ilodge of first introducing to onr reader a wholesale house, which, in point of business aud commercial standing, rank . second to nouo throughout the entire ex tout of Western America. And need wo repent it is the eminent and established firm of R. A J. CoMMifos to which we allude gentlemsn, whoso local popu larity exceptional eommorcial aptitude and universally established reputation for integrity and financial soundness, kuvo alike contributed to the maturing of their present immense business re lations. As in tho rase of most job bing houses of high standing and un surpawod magnitude ( like the mustard seed in the parable ) this house haa gorminated from a comparatively hum-, bio begiuning a significant proof of the existence of thoBe vital principles which nourish and tend to a healthy and gratifying maturity. Some nine teen years ago Mr. W. W. Griffith, ( now president of tho Morohant's Na tional Bank,) became tvwocintod with Mossrs. R. A J. Cummikos, . aud launched tho present business then the only jobbing house of tho kind in the city at 70 Summit street, adopt ing the firm stylo of Griffith A Co., and running a trade of about $150,000 au ually. Three years subsequently Mr. Griffith retired, and the present firm of 11. A J. Cumjiinos Biiccoedod to the en tiro business, which they have since run and still retain in thoir own names. Prosperity attending them, two years after Mr. Griffith's retirement, thev found it uecsiary to secure increased accommodation for their rapidly im proving trade, an.l accordingly removed to tlt-'ir present position, in Bronson's Block 120 A 122 Summit street, and 75 A 77 Water street. Now in posession of tho utnnst facilities, with compara tively unlimited resources in tho way of capital, thoir characteristic enterprise kept fully apace with tho iuc.roa.siug demand ujKin them, until, it is not in the least too much to say, that with an aver age stock on hand of about $200, 0(H) in value, they aro now doing a trade of over onk million doliabs per an num. Xjr Ls thii gratifying evidence all. Their trade is still growing each year the more speedy development of which will aswiredly continue and in crease as tho dealers, in tliis and sur rounding States bocouiu more alive to tho fact, that they cau buy cheaper, and to infinite advantage in selection, from this house than though they personally negotiate direct, with manufactnors Messrs. R. A. J. Cramsus securing" overy conceivable advantage charaoteric of immense pturehases, regular demand and unlimited cash to lay down. East ern representatives may boast in respect to their resources and facilities, but w fearlessly assert, ou our own response bility, that the house we refer to has probably only one or two equals fin Chicago,) but certainly none eloe to equal or excel it in any respect tlirough out the entire West. Their extensive warehouse is a very imposing structure, with basement and four upper stories 180 feet long aud 33 ft. wide, with tha finest facilities possible for shipment from either Summit or Water, streets. Most of their goods on hand being boxed up we were unable to make an inspection, to pass even an imperfect opinion upon them but had we viewed ever so great a display and posessod the utmost competency to judge, we should certainly have yielded onr opinion to the popular verdict which is best read in the increasing demand made upon the Iioubo for its goods. The principul of the firm give the business personals su pervision and are gentlemen of high standing in the city, the leading part ner having recently beeu elected to the important office of county and city treasurer, whilo the firm have also the association of Mr. J. W. Cumminob familiarly knowa as Judgo Cumminqs who succeeded to au interest in the con cern on tho 1st of Jauuary, last. This house is represented on the road by six commercial genllcmon, whose peculiar provinces are as follows: Mr. W. W. Ainsworth takes part of Indiana and Michigan. Mr. J. M. Kenyon, tha Wabash line and its tributaries. Mr. R. J. Fulton, tho Dayton A Michigan road, west of Ohio. Mr. A. L. Van uienian, east of D. AM. R. R,, and along the Lake Shore road. Mr. Geo. Aiken, north Michigan, and 8. P. Stu art, tho Illinois district. The firm liave also a manufactory iu another portion of the city, under tha foremanship ot Mr. Taft, where fine cal and kid work, is executed, and we learn that a very fine selection of spring goods were jaat being laid in. Houses so extensive sa tbe foregoing which frequently ships from $5,000 to $7,000 worth of goods in a day cannot be over estimated in city of such rapid growth as character is tizoi Toledo and more particularly as that city stands so highly favored as a great railroad center, for its easy and direct communication' by land or water with any or every towrA, city or State in the Union. Gentlemen you have oar hearty oongratulations. .i i
