Suicide at Leon. Mr. Cyrus Woodwortb, a much esteemed citizen, residing on tbe old State Road in the north part of Williamsfield, put an end lo hb existence by his own act on the eveuing of the 13th inst.

The mind of Mr. Wood worth had been somewhat disordered for some time past. The deceased was an upright and honest man, a good neighbor and citizen, and was generally respected by a large circle of relations, friends and acquaintances, who mourn his loss and sincerely regret bis un A. The Ashtabula Gas Co. The citizens of Asbtabula have reason to fell grealful to tbe present officers of this company for their successful efforts to furnish a fine quality of illuminating gas which will emit a clear, bright light, free from smoke and other impurities and at a less expense to tbe consumer than ever before.

To make these improvements tbe company bas been at an expense of about $800, putting in a new purifier, air pump, steam engine and boiler, and other machinery, which enables them to make a quality of gas equal to any manufactured, and at about oue-tenth the labor formerly required. Tbe company at its own expense has replaced all of tbe old burners with new ones of a more approved style, and have purchased machine for testing meters. No pains or expense bas been spared to produce a quality of gas that will please all cousumers and at a price less than one-balf formerly charged. The citizens duly appreciate these efforts of the company and the advantages and economy in using the gas, for there are now more consumers than ever before. The Council have, in our opinion, taken the right step in establishing a curb line and grade on Prospect street.

At the last meeting of the Council the Engineer submitted a profile ot the street from which we learn it is proposed to reduce the width of the roadway to 32 feet, leaving the balance of the street for sidewalk. By this plan the curb lines will come outside of the tree lines, thereby leaving the fine shade trees, for which the street is famous, undisturbed. This is without donbt the finest avenue in our little city, but up to he present time it has been saiily neglect ed so far as public improvements are concerned. Perhaps it is well that it has, for tbe Council now intend to make such improvements as will make it the pride of all our citizens.

While our nieghbor of the Standard is no doubt happy over the thought, we would caution him against letting louse in any very extravagant eulogy over him or bis race as was done in the Democratic Convention by one of the; concern.

The Geneva Time published last week an article giving something of the early history of the Cleveland, Painesville and Ashtabula railroad company, showing with what its friends had to contend in maturing plans, and the want of faith felt in the project The incorporators were Chas.

On Monday afternoon in the midst of a heavy blow and snow storm, Wm. Arthur and Francis Wbelplcy fishermen at the Harbor took a light skiff and went out a few rods from the end of the piers, to raise their nets. Just at night the boat went ashore, full of water, near PhilipWhitman's, off Kingsville, and the alarm reaohed the Harbor, when search was made for tbe men whose bodies were found some distance below, near together, without their rubber boots apparently having made an effort to swim.

The bit terness of the storm prevented their hav ing been seen, and nothing is known as to how they got separated from the boat. Tbe most plausible theory, is, that the boat wholly unfit for su jh service, may have upset in the effort to raise the nets. and that they clung to her, and were thus carried down the beach together. Otherwise their bodies would probably have sunken. Tbe bodies were brought to the Harbor on Tuesday afternoon.

They had been exposed to the action of the surf to such an extent, that their faces, and to some extent their hands were bad ly ground away. Both these men enjoyed tbe respeot and confidence ot their ac quaintances and the community. Whelp-ley was a single man, some 24 years of age, while Arthur had a wife and four small children, with a near prospect of fifth. His age was said to be some 26 or 87. Tbe situation of the family of Arthur, is such aa would seem to appeal to the gen erous and charitable for sympathy and at tention, and that, ton, without delay.

Noyes', Center St. Council Proceedings. The Council met in regular session last Wednesday evening; all members were present except Councilman Manning. Minute of last meeting were read and ap-lroved. The Street Committee recommended deferring the matter of cindering Main street at the head of Centre street The report was accepted.

Mr. Wad more Redhead was chosen an arbitrator on behalf of the Village in tbe Sitnonet matter. The Street Committee submitted tbe following report: Your Committee to whom was referred the matter of filling and putting cinders on Bridge street at the liarbor, from the R. K. to the culvert at Huloert street and from there about two hundred and fifty feet west so as to make an easy grade to the bill, beg leave to report that we have made an estimate and find that it will require about 1.150 yards of dirt, and about 20 cars of cinders from the R.

R. to the culvert, and about 500 yards of dirt and 15 cars of tinders for the 250 rft west of that point; from the best information we can gel we think it will cost about IS cents per cubic yaid to put in the dirt, making for 1,650 yards and for 35 cars of cinders at $10 a car $350. And we would recommend that the work be done if the money was in tbe treasury. The Engineer submitted a profile from Lake street to railroads for the proposed grade and curb lines on Prosieet street. The matter was referred to a special committee composed of the Chairman of the Sidewalk Committee, the chairman of Street Committee and Councilman Call, with directions to report at next meeting.

The matter of the control of the pest-house property and ihe sale of timber on same was referred to Committee on Parks and Cemeteries.

F. Good. 63-64 COUNTY NEWS. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS. EAGLEVILLE.

This sober, steady-gaited little hamlet vindicates her bold upon her denizens by tbe return of Mr. F. B. Smith to the spot ba left some years ago, after knocking about the world and seeking a better place for making a living. Eagleyille lost a good citizen when he left, and an institution that she could illy afford to spare in-the mercantile business that he conducted.

His return and presence may be seen in the scrupulous order, and neatness that now again mark bis old establishment. Such a store is not only a credit but a material accommodation to the locality, and iu support should be hearty and liberal. The only other notable change and improvement of tbe place, is the new station. This is something of an advance upon that proverbial "Eagleville Depot," with one of its four siiles out, desigued as it seemed, to facilitate weather observations, with tbe least personal inconvenience or disturbance. It was really an institution.

What bas become of it, tbe depouent saith not It ought not to have been permitted to go into oblivion. It should have been embalmed. Perhaps, however, it is sufficiently embalmed in tbe memories of the people. The new atrangement is a good one, and agent Crum enjoys the charge and looks well to its welfare. Another evidence of progress a little removed from the center, is the rather tasteful house of Mr.

G. M. Pierce, going up on the Austinburg road. This will be a somewhat marked homestead, from its variation from the prevailing style of country bonses its pleasant and cheerful air and effect The old style of an upright with a wing on either side, of equel and exact proportions, have always seemed to be at least of unique fancy, adapted, perhaps, to the range of pioneer simplicity, but poorly adapted to comfort and convenience. For real pleasantness of location, we recollect no homestead that so seemed to harmonize with our feelings, as that of Mr.

Salmon Hills, about a mile west. Nothing could be prettier than the fine eminence and sloping hillside to the mar. giu of Grand River, that constitute its front The view it commands is a rather extended one to the east, to Eagleville and station on tbe south-east, and the spires of Austinburgon the north-east Tbe stream is a beautiful one, and sometimes when swollen grand as is its name. The neatly painted buildings, overtopped with the lofty whnd-mill, greet the traveler with their placid gleam in the distance, and raise in bis mind the thought of rural taste and enjoyment mingling the beauty of the landscape, with tbe thought of the somewhat sober, and sometimes, perhaps, somber duties and labors that wait upon the life of the husbandman. Mr.

Hills has shown much good taste in the selection of site and arrangement of his homestead, and while it is a source of constant pleasure to himself and family, the visitor cannot but participate in tbe beauty and harmony of the surroundings. HARTSGROVE. Ed. Tel: Hartsgrove Lodge No. 397, F.

This proved favorable in leaving him breathing space. He was, however, covered to the depth of ten feel or more.

He was gotten out about 5 o'clock after some two or three hours. Though bruised about, the forehead, he was taken out in pretty food condition. His escape was little less than miraculous. His restoration to his almost paralyzed family was a source of much joy. Mr.

MORGAN ALLEN, 59 John New York City. Dear Sirs: I am pleased to inform von that father is almost as well as he ever was. His appetite is imurovin? dailv: he does not have to get upjduring the night where he used to get up every half hour. He remarked at the supper table this evening that he felt so well better than he had for several years. The quantity cf urine now passed in the twenty-four hours does not exceed one-quart the proper quantity quite a drop from 8 gallons.

Will do you say, let bim eat anything, and if any return of the disease you will hear irora me. i ours very truly. JNO. L. SMITH.

ZANESVILLE, Nov. 7, 1878. Messrs. MORGAN ALLEN, 59 John New York, City. wrote you in regard to how father was getting along.

So 1 thought I would write you to-day. I am happy to say that be is entirely well, bas been cured with less than three of "Constitution Water." Since he has been taking the "Constitution Water," we have heard of a good many cases of di-ebetes in this city. One lady especially has it very bad. When we first heard of her she was down in bed with it She bought one bottle of "Constitution water," after taking a few doses, was able to up. Send me as many circulars as you can for the enclosed sum ps.

There area great many persons that want them. Yours very truly, JNO. L. SMITH. Ask your druggist for it.

After giving three doses of your Sweet Worm Powder to my child one year old, he experienced immediate relief, the cause of illness being removed, E. K. Thompson's Sweet Worm Powder is sold by druggists 25 cents a bottle. For sale by Swift. It is simply marvelous how quickly constipation, biliousness, and sick headache are cured by "Sellers' Liver Pills." If you have pimples, boils, salt rheum, rough skin, try "Lindsey's Blood Searcher." Sold by all druggists.

Suffering Women. There is but a very small proportion of the women of this nation that do not suffer from some of the diseases for which Kidney-wort is a specific. When the bowels have become costive, headache torments, kidneys out qf fix, or piles distress, take a package, and its wonderful tonic and renovating power will cure you and give new life. Color Your Butter. that try to white butter art ail oi tne opinion that dairying does not pay.

If they would use Wells, Richardson Co's Perfected Butter Color, and market their butter in perfect condition, they would still get good prices, but it will not pay to make any but the best in color and quality. This color is used by all the leading creameries and dairymen, and is sold by Druggists and merchants. Listen to This. The unbiased opinion of some of the most intelligent medical men in this country and Europe, support tbe statement that Kidney-Wort is the greatest discovery yet, for curing kidney and liver troubles, piles and constipation. It acts on both kidneys and bowels at the same time and thus cleases the whole system.

Wind-Colic, Sour-Curd, Feverish and Worms make children puny, fretful and sick. There is only one known thing which will prevent and cure these symptoms without injury to the child.
