es- On Monday evening last we took trip
to Painesville, before the denizens OF which DIR
HothANp. more ramiliarly known as Timothy
Titcomb" was announced to lecture. Arriving
in the Eastern Mail train about 6, convenient
time was allowed for comfortable supper at
the Cowles House, and quite as comfortable
greeting from its gentlemanly and ohlgng land
lord, before repairing to Moody Hall, where the
literary entertainment was TO be enjoyed. The
Hall was we'll filled, and at half past seven. DIR
Holland was escorted in and introduced to the
audience by the Rev. Mr.. Phelps. This being
our first opportunity Of seeing the popular
author Of the "Titcopb letters" and Preach
was a matter of interest. Our preconceived
notions Of Uncle Timothy were soon disspated
and we saw young man Of medium size. well
developed the energies Of the body like those
OF the mind ready and forcible, with a slight
but deeply shaded moustache, pair Of black
piercing eyes, with speculation" and significance
In every glance and gesture, and with spruce
faultlessness in everything pertaining to person
al appearance.
The theme Of the lecture was Work and
Play" showing the necessity OF free and pro-
per blending Of these in order to balance and
bring to the highest state of perfection, useful
ness, the faculties of mind aud body with which
God has endowed us The effort was a MASTER
ly one, characterized in every portion by terse-
ness vigor, and originality Of thought and ex.
Ia hoy not n
belIeslettres scholar, the author has but few
superiors, and quite as few equals. His elocu.
tion is in very good keeping with his other at
tanments Taken together, we have no hesita.
tion in saying, that no lecturer that we have
ever listened to, has commended himself more
faultlessy to our standah of excellence.
Upon the close of the lecture we sounded hin
upon the practicabiiy of bringing him before
an Ashtabula audience, and we are happy to in
form our citizens, with somewhat hopeful ant
satisfactory result He named Monday evening
the goth of February, as free from engagements
and if upon correspondence he should conclude
to come to Ashtabula, that would be the only
evening for which he could offer any encourage
ment. What say our citizens ? Shall Dr. Hol
land favor us with a lecture
We would not close this notice without al
ausion to the courteous and generous atten
tions and hospitalities of our Painesville neigh
bors, and reciprocate heartily the wish that ha
been more than once expressed by them for
closer neighborhood, and friendly relationship.
The estimate formed of place is often yer,
much regulated by the hotel one falls into. Ii
this respect, Painesvile owes very much to the
CO,cles House, and the efforts of Mr.. BoorH t
impart to his guests pleasant home feeling.

existed between them. In the testimony, be-

smith challenged Reeves, on that night, to fight
him, and told him if he refused, be would have
his hearts blood, if he had to watch him ten
years. When they met at Laughron's, a rec
ouciation was by some one proposed. Reeves,
soon after went out, and was followed by King

chow are you. Archy," and while Reeves grasp
thinking his proflered friendship was SIN

with which he 10 the most cowardy heartess
and treachOrous manner, stabbed Reeves, above

Ashtabu1a County Bible Society.


The annual meeting of the Ashtabula Co,
Bible Society, was held in the Congregations
Church in Jefferson, on Tuesday, Jan. 18th, at
IL o'clock A. NJ
The meeting was called to order by the pre-
sident Rev A. ID. Olds, aud opened with
prayer by Rev G. J. Cumming of Lenox The
minutes Of the last meeting we're read by the
Secretary, Rev Thos Oliver and approved
The comfy agent, Rev. b. Y Messenger,
then presented his report, showing in detail the
work accomplished by him throughout the
county. BY this report it appeared that an en-
tirely new plan had been initiated recently and
with far more fiattering results than any in oper-
alton for years previous This plan embraced
the formation of branch Bible Society in every
township. where sufficient material could be
found for forming one, and the appointment Of
local or unpaid agept in every School district,
for the purpose of conducting the work of the
society, in supplying the destitute and soliciting
donations. In this way fifteen township Bible
Societies have been formed and furnished each
with a suitable depository of Bibles and Testa
ments, and one hundred and forty local, or
school district agents have been visited, initiated
and furnished each with subscription books and
blanks for reports, and an encouraging degree
of interest has thus been awakened through
their christian cooperation in the work
The receipts of the County Society the past
year were reported as considerably in advance
of any previous year for lcng period of time.
The following exhibit will show the condition
of the branch societies, and the amounts con.
tributed by them the past year
