The County Fair at Jefferson commences next week Tuesday. The officers will please accept our thanks for com pi i-mentarie. Otis Pooler has been brought 4o this county from Cleveland to answer to the charge of rape. He come under the escort of Sheriff Young. At the Democratic Senatorial Convention held in Painesville, on the 18th Ralph K.

We gather from the Tdegrap that the second week of the Pittsburgh Exposition affords evidence of a very full measure of success for the enterprise. Wentworth's Torrent Pump gives entire satisfaction wherever it has been put up, and it is being introduced into new quarters and its area extended. Mr. F.

A mistake occurred in saying that the Mecca band made the excellent music at the Orwell It was the New Lyme band, a young but progressive band, but the.

nse of the Mecca band wagon misled us. It is pleasant to be set right when justice and merit both point it due. on Field's Driving Park, on Saturday afternoon last, learn was quite lively, and the attendance and number of horses brought out quite numerous. The Dr. Hall, black horse Douglas, owned by Gardener, we are informed showed himself the best of the number, and acquitted himself very creditably.

The Act to authorize ree banking, was given in our columns last week! It is a matter of some importance, and should be read and considered, inasmuch as it is to be voted upon at the coming election, and every voter is presumed to be posted on all questions upon which the right of suffrage is to be exercised. Some remarkable peaches have been raised this year, but none so much as few that matured on a young tree in the yard of E. 0. Fisk, some of which spanned 9 inches in circumference. The product of this year is more remarkable, generally for quantity rather than size.

On most of the trees the fruit just hangs in clusters. Our citizens will regret to learn that Mr.AJJ.Skutt is expecting to leaye town at an early day. His skill as a photographer has iron for him a reputation that he justly deserves, and his removal will be a loss po the town. We expect there will be a rush to his' rooms before he leaves, by the many admirers of his artistic work. The editor of the Gazette has obtained a new subscriber from Boulder city, Colorado, and now he's given to casting wistful glances to all the skirts of creation, in hopes that they will make a business of "rolling in" from all of the out-of-the-way places.

A man's expectations should be allowed to run a little ahead of his experience. The remains of Mr. Martin Watrous, of Watrousville, reached this place on Tuesday last, and were followed to the jrave in the afternoon by a large procession of bis old friends and fellow citizens. The deceased lost his reason some two or three years ago, since which he has muir-ed constant and anxious care, and his death has been a relief to himself as well as the family who hadUso long watched over and cared for him. Scribner for October is already at hand svnd another contribution from the intelligent labors of Dr.

Holland, bears witness to the fact that he has a more just and clear conception of what a monthly ought to be, than almost any one who assays to cater to the publio taste through such a channel. He has an intuitive tact and genious for such a work, which accounts lor the widely extended popularity and re-' rard for his labors. Mrs. Dr. D.

S. Hall entertained the Presbyterian Church socinble on Monday evening. The company a large and con. siderably mixed from other rlinrrlie. It was on a scale a little more than usual, in the numbers mid spirit that pervaded the company, the generous luxuri-ousness and- profusion of the b'jitality, and the dectimtions of the spacious grounds.

Among the company we met Dr. M'Ionald. of Keokuk. The East Ohio Conference of the M. E.

Realizing the importance of this matter, our Democratic organizers are vigilant and active. No time is to be lost, as Friday of the present week to-day is the day for registration, and our committee men and workers should see that every Republican voter who requires to be shall be registered in compliance with law. The passage of trains over the trestle work for sustaining the track while the iron bridge is put in place is effected with commendable care and prudence.

This frame work embraces some 108,000 feet of timber. Which would seem to be sufficient to impart the necessary strength for security. The old bridge has been entirely removed, and when we took a view of the premises on Saturday last, it had the appearance of readiness for putting the new structure in place. The weather approaches perfection. The humid atmosphere with an occasional drizzle, and the coqueting sunshine and genial warmth, are just what is needed for a successful rounding out of the season, and a maturity of the fall crops, and the bringing forth of the early sown wheat, and crowning the meadows and pastures with luxuriance the one for protection and the other for giving to stock the better condition for darying purposes, and strong and satisfactory wintering.

The saw mill at the corners, in the Harris neighborliood, Saybrook, belonging to a non resident by the name of Wade, and under lense to Mr. Hopkins, burned to the ground, on Friday noon last, while Mr. H. and hauds were at the house washing for dinner. The fire was discovered but the flames were so rapid as to forbid the hope of saving it.

Some $300 worth of lumber and other personal property belonging to Mr. Hopkins was destroyed a severe loss to an industrious poor man. No insurance. An effort is being made to have Francis Murphy deliver a lecture here at an early day. No person need register his name if he has resided in the State one year, in the t-county three hundred and sixty days, and in the township, village or ward, where he intends to vote, three hundred and fifty-five days, next preceding the election.

Any person who has been in the election precinct, whether township or ward, at least twenty days, and in the county at least thirty days, next preceding the election, may vole (if otherwise qualified) if he will cause his name and residence to be registered as aforesaid. If ue does not register he will lose his vote. The Ashtabula Store speaks for itself this weeek, in a new adv. These semi-occasional bulletins generally produce a sensation, and carry a thrill through the hearts of all the ladies in the county. When they appear, those dear creatures hardly take a long breath until they go through from the top to the bottom, and nearly every sentence, especially where the prices are given, brings out an ejaculation or interjection.

The fact is, the Junior of the Smith firm, who draws up these papers, throws so much magnetism into them, accounts for all this thrilling business, and brings such returns to the establishment. Well, he is a genius in almost everything, and that he should commend himself to the favor of the ladies, is nothing to cat for surprise. The sight of our Harbor now-a-days, shows the shape lake commerce has taken. It is filled with propellers of the largest class, or their consorts, sail Vessels, of greater carrying capacity than these huge monsters themselves. We counted, the other day, some nine or ten of these monsters stretching themselves along the wharves, very much to the exclusion if indeed they were present of less formidable craft.

Small vessels seem to have gone out of use, or at least very much circumscribed in number. The little Canada fellows, whose proportions are adapted to the canal locks, and a few craft in the lime stone trade, or an occasional lumber man, tells the story of the craft that used to comprise the lake marine. Another local feature of our Harbor is the large amount of ore seemingly occupying every foot of available space of dockage, or earth, within reach. If the ore trade continues to grow upon each previous year, shown by this, over all previous ones, considerable expenditure will be called for in making provision for its storage. The amount of trade carried on by our habidashers, with the increasing commerce of this point, makes considerable activity to meet the demands of a paying cash business.

A Rough Customer. Monday night about 11 o'clock, Officer Rennick discovered a man lying on a of old iron near the Lake street crossing of the L. S. M. S.

Ry. He approached the fellow and ordered him to move bn. This he refused to do at first, but finally started up the track, saying he wanted to find a hotel. The officer volunteered to accompany him to a hotel near by, but this seemed to stir up his anger, and the result was they finally came to blows, in which the officer's club was taken from him and used quite freely. The fellow also gouged Renniek's eyes and chewed his scalp in a serious manner.

The officer's cries for assistance brought Stephen Croft, who assisted him in platting the hand cuffs on the fellow and lodging hi'n in the lock-up. The next morning he was brought before the Mayor where he gave his name as George Coleman. He was bound over to Court of Common Pleas in the sum of $300, in default of which he was taken to the county jail, where he now is. As he appeared in the Mayor's court he looked like a desperado of the darkest dye, and much credit is due officer Rennick for his pluck in making the arrest. Prohibition Ticket.

The Council met pursuant to adjournment last Monday evening, all members present except Councilman Fisk. A resolution was adopted instructing the Gas Committee to erect one gas post near L. Tyler's residence on Main Street, and one on Spring Street near the Armory. On motion of Mr. Clover, Jas.

Reed, and A. H. Tyler were appointed registers for the corporation. An ordinance to license and register dogs was rend tor the third and last time, and on motion was put upon its passage, but the ordinance was lost, the nays being Butler, Randall and Topky; yeas, Field and Clover. The Solicitor made written report on the Fisk Street matter, in which he advised the Council to take possession of the vacated part of said street, as the proposed vacation had not been advertised the length of time by law.

The following resolution was then adopted, Mr. pky only voting against it: Be it Unsolved by the Mayor and Council of the Incorporated Village of Ashtabula that we do now and hereby release all or any interest this Village may have in or to a certain strip of land 50 feet wide running from Fi-k Street to Centre Street near the west line of the grounds of the Y. P. R. R.

and hereby instruct the Street Commissioner to cause obstructions to be placed so as to prevent all public-travel hereon also, that the Street Commissioner proceed at once to make such repairs on Fisk Sireet where said street crosses the Y. P. B-R Jonestown Branch of the L. S. M.

SOLICITOR'S OPINION OF THE FISK STREET MATTER. To Hon. the Hon. Mayor and Council of tlie Incorporated Village of Ashtabvla: You ask my opinion as to the present legal status of a certain part of Fisk street in said village. Hereinafter particulars described: On the 28th day of July, 1873, the then village council passed an ordinance vacating that part of Fisk street lying between the east line of land now owned and occupied by the J.

F. branch of the L. S. M. S.

railway company, and the west line of lands now owned and occupied by the Y. R. providing that the ordinance should not take effect until said Y. R. R.

should without expense to the village, cause to be opened and dedicated to public use, a street sixty feet wide and leading from Fisk street to Center street, near the west line of the grounds of the said Y. P. R. R. and east of lots No.

207 and 174 on Fisk street. On the 4th day of September, 1873, the said ordinance of July 28th, 1873, was repealed, and another was passed or pretended to be passed, vacating that part of Fisk street hereinbefore described, but this ordinance of September 4th, 1873, was not to take effect until said Y. P. R. R.

Company, should, without expense to the village cause to be opened and dedicated to public use as a street, a street not less than 50 feet wide, leading from said Fisk street to Centre street, near the west line of the grounds of the said P. R. R. Company, and east of lots 207 and 174 in Fisk'splat. Now Sec.

492 of the Municipal Code provides that: "No street or alley shall be vacated or narrowed as aforesaid unless notice of the pendency and prayer of the petition shall be given by publishing the same in some newspaper published or of general circular tionm such corparation for six consecutive weeks preceding action on such petition or in case no newspaper is published in the corporation, by posting such notice in three public -places therein six weeks preceding such action; and such action shall take place mthin three months after the completion of such notice. It is evident that the object of this provision of the statute is to inform property owners and all persons interested of the proposed action of the council, so they can be heard.that the reason for and against the proposed vacation may be fully and fairly understood; and it seems to me that this is a wise and salutary provision. The statute is in my opinion manditory and not directory; it would therefore follow that no ordinance would be valid unless in the passage of the same this provision of the statute shall be complied with, and as a matter of fact so far as the ordinance of the 4th of September, 1873, is concerned, there was no such notice published prior to the passage therof. I therefore think that ordinance void, so far as its effect to vacate that part of Fisk street described therein is concerned. There is one more question that arises in connection with this matter: Can the vacation of that part of Fisk street heretofore described, be sustained on the ground that the action of the council in relation thereto was in the nature of a contract, and therefore binding upon the municipal authorities? It is my opinion that it cannot be sustained on that ground, for I do not believe that the officers of a municipal corporation have the power, except as expressly given by statute, to condemn and take private property for public use, as in laying out and opening a highway, or to interfere with vested rights of property owners in such a manner as to cause them great inconvenience in their routes of travel, and deduct and take from their property 30 or 50 per cent, of its value by the vacation of the only street which makes it accessable and desirable.

My conclusion therefore is. that if the village of Ashtabula will release and disclaim all interest in and to the street opened up by said Railroad company and running from Fisk to Center street, that then, and in that case, that part of Fisk street sought to be vacated by the ordinance of Sept. 4th, 1873, maybe regarded the same as any other street in the village, and may be used, traveled, repaired and controlled, the same as it was prior to the passage of the two ordinances mentioned.

Dissatisfaction appears in various portions of the eounty, and the staunch men, young and old, who haye stood by the party and its principles, through good report and evil report, are becoming not a little restive under the maneuvering resorted to to force upon them a a candidate at once incompetent and distasteful.

The reckless issues raised to scatter dissensions and bring about divisions in the ranks, they are now enabled to see aud appreciate, and their repugnance to such sinister and unworthy place to anything but generous and kindly emotions. The yeomanry of the county see through the frequent repetitions of "young man," as a weak and empty catch word, and would prefer dignity, discretion and balance of character first, aud with little care whether these qualifications are found in young or old. They naturally ask if this discounting upon the merit of being a "young man, is the chief merit of a candidate will it fill the bill? They do not care to be compromised before the State, and subjected to mortification by sending to the General Assembly a "young man," who has done so much to compromise himself, and thus given an earnest of what he his capable of doing for others whose first effort at stumping the county resulted so disastrously. The evidence then and there given was sufficiently strong to show his unfitness to be trusted with questions of State concern. It was a young man, we believe, chairman of the meeting, who picked up the glove so defiantly thrown down in his letter in the Telegraph of last week asking for some one to take the stump with him.

This young man felt that the party and its head were compromised, and upon him, as chairman and a friend of the the duty of stepping into the breach, aud controverting the positions, and correcting the follies of our mousing young law-giver, from which our "young man" came out second best. The attention of the whole State has been attracted to the able and dignified bearing in the performance of his legislative duties of our last Representative, W. P. Howland, and what think you, electors of Ashtabula, will be the sense of such intelligent observers, when they come to draw a comparison between the past and the present? Will it be credible to the discrimination of the Republicans of the county? Let us for the sake of get-ting at the true measurement of man," ask ourselves bow far would Mr. Howland allow himself to engage in the trickery and low cunning mousing about and using personal and local considerations such as poet offices and post routes to ingratiate himself into favor, with the end in view of gaining thereby, an individual and neighborhood vote, and then as in the trick of changing the time of holding the convention resort to the readiest means at hand to keep the light from falling upon his little games.

Why, the very thought of placing Mr. Howland in such a category, though in fancy, calls for an apology for the freedom taken. Many of the voters of the county feel outraged, and have already determined to wash their hands of the whole thing unwilling to allow themselves to be sold out by duplicity and impudence. The question is mooted can we not have the privi lege of voting for some man of experience, position, character a resident of the coun ty and enjoying its respect and confidence? The casting of our votes with compunction and misgiving least we are compromising ourselves and the county, is not favorable for a full vote or healthy majority, such as Ashtabula county has been noted for, and which at the coming election is especially needed. Will not Mr.

Thorp read the signs of the times and withdraw from the canvass, and leave the party to concentration and harmony? It might result to his 4enefit in the future. The suggestion of the Telegraph, of Judge Demming's name meets with hearty acceptance. Heal Estate Transfers. For the week ending Sept. 15, 1877.

Eds. Tel: Having occasion to make a canvass more or less through Sheffield, Denmark, Monroe, Pierpont, and this township, we thus must notice the business interests, most of which are connected with farming operations. The season has certainly been favorable in the production of crops that will compare Well with other years. The breadth of ground employed in sowing wheat we have thought was full as much as of previous years. The almost universal turning in of the oat stubble is now being supplemented by the corn ground, after cutting up and moving off the crop.

An increased desire for extra crops is manifest from the quantity of manure employed and the thoroughness in securing an even top dressing. With early rose potatoes, commanding only twenty-five cents a bushel, the fear is that the "peachblows wont be worth much." Still the opinion is that forty cents will be as low as they will run. We notice now and then a field of wheat already up, and some of our southern friends have feared that early sowing would suit the grasshoppers too well, but now the cool moist weather will take away all fear in that direction. Our "hard times" does not prevent the construction of new houses this season, especially in the south west part of Monroe township. Chas.

Vanskoik, Wesley Adams, Hiram Griggs, Wm. Roath, Mrs. Jernsha Dalryinple and many others are putting up some very fine dwellings. We notice Mr. G.

Darling has much work in the building of new school houses as well as private residences. In looking about home we see our new Baptist parsonage occupied by the pastor and presents quite an air of comfort. Henry Stone, of Geneva, the contractor anil builder, has left in the edifice, that of which he may be proud. Mr. Chauncy Main has just completed a house for Mrs.

Jarvis, in the souihwest of the village, and is now at work on the extension of our town hall. The whole of the old building has been raised up and a new wall placed under twenty feet from the south end, for the proposed addition. Thoroughness and permanence characterize the work of Mr. Main. Some little question arises as to the extra expense incurred in the town hall extension being just right, as long as the hall, for town purposes has proven sufficient.

An unemployed Town Hall Fund lies in the treasury. A sum sufficient to give this hall a capacity for answering all demands for hall purposes, and the rent of which would pay for the repairs, is a thought worth revolving as a question of economy and good Rev. C. V. Wilson of Ravenna, occupied the desk of the M.

E. Church last Sabbath evening, psesenting a very interesting and profitable discourse. Rev. Edwin Dibbell Filled the desk of the Presbyterian church at morning service. His effort was as is common to the hungry soul.

Rev. Mr. Hickok is domiciled in the little village of Ellington, not far from, but 200 feet above Chatanqua lake. He will soon return to his people refreshed for the renewal of his labors. The Rev.

Mr. Biakley of the M. E. Church will most likely be retained here another year, much to the pleasure of all within the chile of his acquaintance. By the way, Ben Brydle lost his famous pacing mare the other day.

18, 1877. SAYBROOK. Edg. Tel: We read in the papers very frequently, of the reunion of certain families, and how pleasant it was for its scattered members to assemble together once a year, so to speak to renew their acquaintance. It is not of such 'a party composed of relatives only that I am about to write, but of a company of friends as well as relatives.

Father Mitchell and his wife formerly lived in Sayrook, but for the last ten or fifteen years they have resided in Concord, Lake county. The old gentleman, we think without a single exception, has visited Saybrook every year in the month of September, over the Sabbath, and preaching in thfl Lake shore school house, in district "So. 1. This year it was planed by some of his friends to have a pic nic and dinner at his son-in-law's, Mr. A.

H. Sherman, on the South Ridge. Among those who were as sembled at the place alluded to on Monday of the present week, we noticed Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Webb, Mr.

and Mrs. Mar cus Hubbard, their son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin, from the Lake shore, Mr. and Mrs.

Isaac Flint, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wilkinson, on North Ridge, Mr. and rs. John Allcock and their daughter Winchell, Rev.

Allen Fouts, Mrs. D. Mizener, J. W. Sims and wife, and a sprink ling of grand children of the venerable couple for whom this gathering was made.

The time before dinner was spent in friend' ly greetings and social intercourse. The older members gave us graphic sketches of pioneer life in the long ago, when this township was almost an unbroken forest. Had the weather been favorable it was in tended to have eaten the dinner under the shade of the trees, but as it was a little too shady out of doors, the table was spread under the friendly roof. After the company were seated at the table Father Mitchel requested them to sing, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow," after which invoked the divine blessing for the repast spread before us, and then we dropped into business. And such a dinner, it was fit for a king; there was fish, flesh and fowl, apple, peach and chicken pie, as many kinds of cake as there are Sundays in a month, rice puddings and Dinner over they sang, "Oh for a thou sand tongues to sing," and then two or three more hours were spent in social inter course, am', when the time for parting came we gathered in the and sang, "Rock of Ages," then prayer by Rev.

Fouts, then a five minutes speech by the Dr. in his own way, then we sang "Shall we gather at the river," and the benedic tion was pronounced by Father Mitchell. Father Mitchell is in his 81st year, yet he is wiry and elastic as most men at fifty. He and his wife will take with them to their home iu Concord many pleasant memories of this last visit to Saybrook; and those who were present at A. H.

This will result in taking not to exceed fifty votes from the Republican ticket, and perhaps one from the Democratic. If the same result is obtained through the state the Democrats lose about one hundred and the Republicans between two and three thousand. This is about the result we may look for as near as past experience tells the story. Doubtless many of this forlorn party imagine they are about to purify the politics of the state by just catching enough votes from the Republicans of the state to throw the Democrat, the sworn enemy of temperance, into possession of the State Government and Legislature as they did a few years ago when Wm. Allen was elected, and the Adair law, the best temperance law ever enacted in Ohio, so amened as to make it a dead letter on the Statute books and at which time Ashtabula County polled 125 Prohibition votes.

The men placed on the Co. ticket are, we believe without exception, honorable and worthy citizens, but what a pity it is that they cannot be made to know that their cause is such as to ruin the cause for which they imagine they are trying to subserve. Certainly the lessons of the past can have been but illy remembered. Mr. James Sirrine of Cherry Valley, was brought before the Probate eourt last Friday and adjudged insane.

He was very noisy and had to be placed in custody of the Sheriff. Tuesday the papers were received for his admittance to the asylum and he was taken there in charge of Sheriff's deputies Chester and Reuben Toung. A deaf mute calling himself a Sign Preacher, giving his name as A. Kennedy and claimed his residence to be Conneaut, succeeded in imposing himself upon the congregation of the Baptist Church Sunday evening, where he went through with some motions and made some of the most hideous noises conceivable. Of course a collection was taken for his benefit, as is usual in such cases.

Our County Fair will be held here next week and the officers are exerting themselves to make it the best ever held. The Williams Brothers, with their agents, are canvassing in the vicinity for subscribers for the coming history of our County. They are gentlemanly fellows, and are meeting with good success thus far. W. W.

Williams, the eldest of the three brothers and the historian of the firm, arrived here Tuesday evening and has commenced the work of getting the necessary informa tion previous to writing up the history.
