ASHLAND, OHIO, NOVEMBER 9, 1859.
THANKsG1v1Na.-Gov. CHASE designates
and sets apart Thursday, Nov "a, to be devo-
ted by the People of this State to thanksgiving.
LYcEUM.-Our literary people-and who
has not an ambition to become a literary man ?
are adopting measures to revive the Lyceum,
as will be seen by notice. 1t interests all and
all should give it their aid and comfort.
Ses
LA CROSSE DAILY sUNIQN.-We have re-
ceived several copies of aDaily-containing the
above title, under the management of our old
friend, ALFRED P. SwINEFoRD, Esq. 1t is a
spirited journal, and Democratic "to the hilt."
Lacrosse must be ff'some," to-be enabled to
support such a paper as the Union.

CouRr CT COMMON PLEAs.-During the
whole of last5week, and until yesterday morn
ing;,Judge FTNcH presided, and a large amount
of business, but of an unimportant character,
was determined. On yesterday, Judge GEE
DIES appeared, and is now presiding. 1t is
doubtful whether the business can be %conclu-
ded tbe present week. t7
THE WEATHER.-We are enjoying that
most. delightful of all seasons, the "Indian Sum
mer,p and with a prospect of continuing many
days and perhaps weeks. The little speck of
world around US appears as though al wereim-
proving the delightful season either in purpo-
ses of business or pleasure.
De. PUY HOUSE, VAN WERr.-This is
among the best Hotels that the traveller will
find between Pittsburg and Chicago-having
been newly furnished and every thing in fine
order. Ashlanders and all others visiting Van
Vert, and taking up their abode at the De-
Puy House, will find a good home, and will
have a good time generally.
ASHLAND IN CLEvELAND.-Our fellow-citi-
zen, A. w. MELsHE1MER, Esq, recently
the popular host of the McNULTT House, in
this town, has leased the commodious and
eligiblJ situated b~oarding-house, No. 100,
corner Of Euclid and Erie Streets, Cleveland,
where, probably, in addition to his regular
boarders, he will be enabled to find room for
a few of his old Ashland friends. IF there are
in Cleveland any better landlords than Mr.. w. we
have not been heretofore enabled to End them.
UNCLAIMED PLUNDER.-We have been fur
nishcd by A. C. SwINEFoRD, Constable, with
the following list, which embraces the balance
now on hand of the property stolen by BAILEY
and others:
One dark roam horse, IL or II years old
one iron gray mare, Ter 8 years old one bay
colt, 8 years old last spring one bay FLY, quite
small I one horse top buggy; 2 slide seat
top buggies, and several sets of harness.
Burglary was doubtless a part of the bust
ness of this gang, as we have since learned of
several farm houses in the West part of the
county having been entered, and property sto-
len.
ALEcrURE ON COMMERCIAL EDUCATIoN.-
Mr.. E. G.. FOLSOM, one of the accomplished
firm of Bryant, Folsom & STATIONS CONNER
cial College, will deliver a free lecture at the
Town Hall, en- Friday evening, November Is.
We bespeakf for Mr., Folsom a full and intel
ligent audience, as there is not, probably, in
the country a gentleman better qualified from
Ibis thorough education and practical knowledge
as a teacher, to invest this important subject
with interest," Mr.FoLsoM opened his. winter
course of lectures at Cleveland last week.
The Leader thus refers to it:
Lecture by e. G. Folsom.
Mr.. e. g. Folsom, of Bryant, Folsom, &
STATIONS Commercial College, lectured before
the students of that Institution and a fair au-
dience of citizens last evening on "Commerce
and Commercial Education" He said the his
tory Of trade showed successive stages of ac-
counts from the primitive method of barter or
; efswapping" through those of pebble currency,
notched sticks, Sc, down to the introduction
of wAat We call money-after the age.of bartes
alone, brass and iron were brought into use as
currency, but these were soon laid aside for
gold and silver.
In the world Of mind there have also been
successive progressions from the time of our
first parents to this day. Fronthe agriculture
of the early ages, mankind have advanced to
mechanics and commerce, until the age is rife
with invention which stamps its mark upon
every calling. Commerce, said the speaker, is
a thing of science and not merely of manual
labor. It requires men of mind and mark,
and to educate these, schools are required which
shall train them up In all the minutiae of their
calling. Business is the w~atchword of the ma
ton. and each and all will be adjudged their
riehtfal station by a business community, the
criterion of promotion being not money, but
