In 1868, P. H. Bateson commenced the pub- lication of the Toledo Journal, a weekly paper, which was continued by him until John J. Manor became associated with him in 1870, the firm becoming Bateson & Manor. For a time the paper was issued three times a week. In 1871 H. S. Chapin acquired an interest in the business, and the Journal became a Sunday paper. In 1873 Mr. Bateson retired, Mr. Chapin continuing the paper alone until May, 1874.

PUBLIC PRESS.
Mrs. Sarah R. L. Williams became associated in the business, and assumed charge of the Wo- man's Rights department, which had existed since 1870. In November, 1875, the establish- ment passed into the hands of Isaac R. Sher- wood and George S. Canfield. The Woman's Rights department was then suspended, and the Journal, in politics, became independent Republican. Subsequently it was a Greenback or National paper. In 1883 Mr. Canfield with- drew. I. R. Sherwood continued as sole pro- prietor, Mrs. K. B. Sherwood assisting in the editorial management of the paper, until 1886, when C. C. Packard and E. J. Tippett, the present Publishers, took the paper.
The Manhattan Advertiser was started in July, 1836, by Benjamin F. Smead. It suspended in the Spring of 1840, and revived in July, Mr. Smead dying only one week there- after, July 25th. He was 35 years of age. He was a man of exceptional ability, and gained honorable prominence as editor, under circum- stances by no means favorable. He was ealled to conduct a newspaper ostensibly as a public journal, but really little more than the adver- tising medium of the proprietors of a young Village, struggling with desperate persistence for life and mastery over older rivals. When the Advertiser was first issued (in 1836) the Town plat of Manhattan was not a year old. The paper was started virtually withont sub- scribers, and with slight prospect of ever hav- ing enough to pay the cost of publication. And yet, through the pecuniary sacrifice of those for whom it was issued, and the efficient efforts of its manager, it soon assumed abroad the char- / acter and influence of a real newspaper. Mr. Smead spent much of the Winter season at Columbus, whence he wrote letters to his paper. In one of these, he said he had " taken a case " in the Statesman office, as typesetter, and he hoped to be able with the wages thus earned, " to keep the Advertiser going." The late H. S. Knapp was at one time the Editor of the Ad- vertiser.
It would prove a solemn, if not a profitable work, to give in detail the record of the News- paper Graveyard of Toledo. But space would notadmit of that. In common with all growing Cities, Toledo has been the scene of great extent of journalistic enterprise, most of which was induced by special interests, and having little in common with the general welfare, was short- lived. The aim here has been to refer only to such papers as attained to permanence. Fol- lowing is a list of publications issued at Toledo in 1887:

PRESS MISCELLANY.
In May, 1839, the newspapers of the Maumee Valley were :
The Toledo Blade, published by A. W. Fairbanks ; the Express, at Maumee City, by Henry Reed, Jr., and Hezekiah L. Hosmer ; the Advertiser, at Man- hattan, by B. F. Smead ; the Miami of the Lake, by Wm. P. Reznor, at Perrysburg; and the Banner, by John B. Semans, at Defiance. Of these, the Blade is the only surviving paper. Of the publishers there survive-Mr. Fairbanks, at Cleveland; Judge Hos mer, at San Francisco; and Mr. Reed, in California.
The papers then published in the neighboring Counties were as follows :
Lower Sandusky (Fremont) Whig, by Clark Wag- goner.
Sandusky County Democrat, by Wm. Davis.
Clarion, at Sandusky, by David Campbell & Sons. Commercial Advertiser, at Huron. by H. C. Gray.
Reflector, at Norwalk, by S. & C. A. Preston.
Experiment, at Norwalk, by Hatch & Farr.
Gazette, at Tiffin, by S. A. Griswold.
Of these papers, five now exist-the Reflector and Experiment, at Norwalk ; the Clarion (now the Register), at Sandusky; and the Gazette (now the Tribune), at Tiffin. Of the publishers of these in 1839, Samuel A. Griswold, of Lan- caster, Ohio; II. C. Gray, of Painesville; and Clark Waggoner, of Toledo, are believed to be the only survivors.
The Printers of Toledo celebrated the birth- day of Franklin, Jannary 17, 1867, with a fes- tival and ball, at the Kingsbury House. At a preliminary meeting, W. J. Holmes, Chairman, the following committees were appointed : On Speeches and Toasts-II. T. Smith, J. B. How- ard, James B. Foley and Josoph E. Marx. Music, Carriages and Supper-W. J. Holmes, M. H. Porter, N. T. Nash and Henry C. Os- born. On Invitations-J. B. Foley, Frank Marion, George L. Johnson. On Printing -- Frank Marion, H. H. Porter, G. L. Johnson, John D. Campbell. Honorary Managers - J. B. Steedman, Wm. C. Earl, A. T. Stebbins, HI. L. Hosmer, Daniel McBain, Josiah Riley, S. G. Arnold, Charles R. Dennett, Dr. W. W. Jones, George True, J. B. Howard, A. D.

HISTORY OF TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY.
T. Nash, H. T. Smith, D. O. Morton and George P. Este. At the festival, Josiah Riley of the Commercial, acted as President; and Clark Waggoner of the Blade, H. T. Smith of the Times, and J. E. Marx of the Express ( German), as Vice Presidents. Responses to toasts were made by J. J. French, C. Waggoner, W. C. Earl, S. G. Arnold, of the Blade, John Eaton, Jr., Superintendent Public Schools, H. T. Smith, H. L. Hosmer, Daniel McBain, Mayor C. M. Dorr and J. E. Marx. Volunteers were offered by James Van Blarcum, S. W. Drigg, W. G. Moore, Samuel S. Wells, George L. Johnson, N. T. Nash, Charles F. Brown (" Artemus Ward"), and Charles Sprague. In responding to the toast, " The Press of Toledo," Mr. Hos- mer said he became connected with the local press of Maumee in 1837, and started the Daily Blade in 1847, which was followed by the Daily Commercial Republican in 1849.
The exigencies to which the pioneer publish- ers of the West were subjected, are indicated by the following announcement made by Mr. Fairbanks, in the Blade, in February, 1842, to wit:
The subscriber will take Michigan State scrip at par, and Lucas County orders at six shillings on the dollar, in payment of old accounts due him. And, moreover, if the said accounts are not settled by the 15th of March next, the Justice of the Peace will be the gainer, for I will wait no longer.
Michigan scrip was then worth 10 cents on the dollar, and County orders 50 cents.
In October, 1842, the Blade had this an- nouneement: " Wheat received in payment of debts due this office at 65 cents a bushel. Also, Wood, green or dry. Also, Beeswax, at 25 eents per pound."
In 1844, the Toledo papers were from 10 to 12 days in reaching Fort Wayne, Indiana.
On the Ist of January, 1846, the Carriers of the Toledo Blade delivered their New Year's Address, the more personal mention of which is reproduced here, as follows:
I'm proud to say that we have built Two Churches in this year ;
But some, perehance, may think their guilt By such an act goes clear :
For they will boast how fine they look, Pointing at the steeple-
Discoursing so much " like a book," You'd think 'em pious people.
Though Churches are a City's pride, And give it character-
Ilow few will take them for a guide, Or to their courts repair !
We hoast much of our Churches here, And think them very fine :
But take good care to keep quite clear Of all which is divine. When Beecher,* Welch1 or Burgert teach Unto the walls, 'tis said :
Perhaps it is as well to preach To empty walls as heads.
While some upon their beds will perch, Content to see the steeple, We yet see many go to Chureb, Like pious, holy people.
For look, ye sirs, what men are here,
(" The ladies, God bless them ! ")
Then be in judgment not severe, My boasting to condemn !
Mason, Potter, Myers, Brown, O'Hara and a Hicks;
The Scotts and Mott, aud Stickney, known
In early politics-
With Daniels, Baker, Perkins, Smith,
Tredwell, too, and Lawton -- All such men of heart and pith,
As give the City tone. Babcock. Marsh and Hanks and Ludlow, Watkins, too, and Bissell,
Are men you only need but know, To prize them high and well ! Others we have, of equal praise, Whom I would class with these ; But should I their names emblaze,
And fancy them to please?
I name these, not to praise them here By my simple ditty ;
But that strangers far might hear Who are in our City.
*Pastor of First Congregational Church. +Pastor of the Methodist Church. #Rector of Trinity Church. These then constituted the Clergy of the City.
