MEssRs. EDTroRs AS promised you
some " notes by the way" will now
make a commencement.
Last week Ispent few days INIT Gil
ead' the Seat of Justice, (!)Of MGR ow Co.
That place contains about 500 inhabitants
| see nothing about it rsry attractive, eth
er for the man Of business or Of leisure
1t has few good buildings. The Jail, which
has been erected abou, three years, aud
the Court House, which is enclosed, but
not finished, are among the few. The
only public school building which they
have for the accommodation Of their $40
children, is an antiquated, octaganal frame
building, where some sixty Of the future
sovereigns. of America may be crowded
together, to prepare for their responsibili-
ties. Several efforts have been made to
secure the benefits of Union School, but
they have failed. Last spring the town
became one School District, under the op-
Grafton of the New School Law, and Ito
their credit, be it said) they elected a lib
eral Board of Education. They have al
so taxed themselves for the erection Of q
good building. The Board have purchas-
ed two acres of land, little out of tho, ,bu.
siness part of the town, with the proce eds
Of their old school huosc and lot. o.
course, al manner of evil was spoken
against them for this righteous act, but {
generation is growing up that will cal
them blessed for it. Already rev ant
bright day dawns on Mt. Gilead, and peo
pie begin TO point with pride TO the schoo
house lot. Physiological charts and out
line maps were, last week, added to tht
school property.
The Agrlculturists of the county helt
a Fair at Mt. Gilead last week. There
was not large assortment of articles o
any kind exhibited. The horses, sheer
and hogs were good, and some Of the c at
tie were tolerably. good, while some wert
very ordinary. AS in other Fairs, tn,
centre Of attraction was the riding ring
Three ladies rode for the premium; two o
them rode very we'll, but have often seel
quite as good riding in the streets of Ply
mouth. | observed that the lady VIII,
rode the best in the ring, and who receive
The premium, did not ride as well. after
wards, when galloplng down street, as h
less fortunate competitor by her side.
On Friday night, after the rising of til
moon, rode to Mansfield. On Saturda
: took the cars for Wellsville, Columbian
County, via. Alliance. After leaving A.
lance, | slept most of tho time, unit
coming to the valley of Yellow Creek whe
the gentlemanly Conductor touched me O
the shoulder and inquired, whether ha
ever been on the Road before adding, "

we were dashing or between walls o
rock, which lowered ninety feet above Il

on either side; Morpheus had no longe
any power over me. We followed III
"indings of that strcamlet to the Uhi

could have tossed a biscuit into it in

towering hills that in another momel

Greek, we reached Wellsyile, the term
shus Of the Railroad. G.. S. r.
