IMPORTANT TO YOUNG MEN.-We have
just had the pleasure to meet with Mr.. VIM.
q. Hughes, of Paris, in this county, who has
recently graduated at the Iron City CONNER
cial College, at Pittsburgh, Penn. The Fac
ulty of the Institution awarded Mr.. Hughes
finely engraved diploma of which he may
lege without the thorough qualifications re-
quired for certain success in active business
This is ensured to all graduates as they are
drilled by. and under the immediate superyi-
sion of the Principals. Hence the universal
preference given by business men to graduates
of the Iron City College, which is now the
largest Commercial School in the United
States. ***

LIEUT.. 2. CLARK SCRIPTURE, of Battery I
Capt. Dillger, reached his home in Ravenna,
last Wednesday. He has been detailed with a
squad of men to report at Columbus to re-
ceive number of drafted men to recruit his
battery. Lieut.. Scripture informs us that
Isaac Crotser, of Brimfeld, has been missing
since the battle of Gettysburg. Irwin W.
Halleck, of Rootstown, was taken prisoner,
near Goose Greek, Leesburg, Va, July 22d.
Lieut.. Scripture left the Battery at Warren
ton. He has been well, and not lost days
service since he enlisted as private in Octo-
Der 1861. He enlisted as private, soon was
made Orderly Sergeant, and for good conduct
was promoted TO the position of I'd Lieuten-
ant. He brought home the pistol which saved
him from dangerous if not fatal wound at
Gettysburg. 1t may be seen at the Cigar
Store of his brother-in-law, L. T. Moses
The battery, on this occasion was subjected to
rear, cross-fre. The ball which hit Lieut..
S. was a twenty pound parrot Before it
struck him it wounded Mclaughlin, a mem
Der of the battery, then struck the Lieuten-
ant, hitting his pistol case hanging over his
left hip, in1icting no injury save bruise. but
shattering the pistol, and passed on, hitting
Alonzo Slisby, taking off his left hand just
above the wrist, and buried itself in the
ground. Lieut.. Scripture was in the three
days fight, working four guns part of the
time and two during portion of the fight
When the twenty pound ball, greeted the bat
terry, it was stationed on Cemetery Hill, fair
description of which has been published in
Frank Leslie's paper.
Some two hundred soldiers came home
| from the Army on the same mission with
Lieut.. Scripture. e. to take charge of draft
ed men for their respective commands. At
Bellair on Monday last week, their train was
detained four or five hours. While there the
train containing the John Morgan prisoners
was visited by the people around Bellair,
who focked to the prisoners cars and loaded
them down with pies and cakes, cigars, tobac-
| co, &C., and treated the Union soldiers with
perfect indifference and contempt. COL Nc
Groarty of the 61st Ohio, was on the train
with the Union soldiers, and was called out to
make speech to the people. The Vallan-
dighammers were insolent. Some picked up
stones but the soldiers attended to their 'lit-
tie case" at once-one big bully who impu-
IDENTIFY interrupted and insulted the speaker
was taken in hand by Sergt Arbuckle of the
61st. He won't be apt to interrupt any one
under like circumstances again. Col. Nc.
Groarty made avery spirited speech, and plain
ly told the yallandighammers what the sol.
diers thougEftof them.

on CREEK R. R.-I-p pom the 1st of Au-

On CREEK R. R.-l'pon the 1st of Au-
gust, Benz j. Wells, of Ravenna, retired from
the position of Assistant Superintendent of
the A. & G. w. R. R. to assume the position
and duties of Superintendent of the Oil Creek
R. R., running from Cory on the A. & G.
w. R. R. to Titusville, twenty-eight miles,
DR.. w. S. Streator, of East Cleveland, is the
principal owner of the road, and Mr.. Wells
was the early master spirit of the enterprise
For its length this road is doing greater busi-
ness than any road in the United States, and
its revenue is almost fabulous. The road is
to be extended about ten miles farther during
the season, and will then form an outlet for
all the great oil wells of Pennsylvania. We
shall miss the late Assistant Superintendent
of the A. 6, G. w. R. R., but are pleased to
know that his connection with that road is
not entirely severed by his new position.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DRowNINe.-Upon
Sunday evening Louis Bucholhz. while tax

depth and sank to the botttom-being unable
to swim. His companions gave the alarm,
and he was fished out with mill hook by

AUGUsT, has sent its annual greeting with
showers of almost vernal freshness, but fol-
lowed by heat of most extrayagant prostra-
ton, and pulselessness. To visit the fields,
the hills, the woods, in the early August
morn, the scene is one of Natures most beau-
tiful and delightful pictures.
ss'Tis like the birthday OF the world,
When earth born In bloom;
The light is made Of many dyes,
The air is all perfumes:
There's crimson buds, and white and blue
The very rainbow showers
Have turned to blossoms where they fell,
And sown the earth with flowers"
A scene so pure and refreshing fits one for the
toilsome duties of the full grown day, i'm
parts an elasticity and vigor which in a de-
gree deprive care and labor of its depressing
routine, and lifts up the spirit in thankful
ness, and gratitude, and contentment.

! CAPTAIN BEATTY, calls an election for Off
GERS in the first and fourth Company districts
of Ravenna township, upon Saturday next
The first district is composed of the territory
north of Main and west of Chesnut streets
The fourth district is composed of the terri
tory south of Main and west of Chestnut
streets. The residents in the districts should
give due attention to this matter. The neces-
sity for this election arises from the fact that
the officers elected July 4th declined to ac-
cept their commissions. See notice.

Our TO MEADvnLE.-Last Friday we had
the pleasure of our first trip over the A. & G.
w. R. R. At 9:15 A. M. New York time, we
were snugly ensconced in one of the elegant
and spacious coaches, and booked for the ter
mini of the Middle Division by Assistant
Superintendent Wells. At Freedom we
found Geo. Sanford, late County Treasurer,
officiating as station Agent. At Windham,
our good friend N. B. Brigham. is intalled as
Station Agent, and his daughter as mistress of
the telegraph. At Braceville, the Cleveland
connection of the A. & G. W. via C. & NJ.
R. R., mammoth transfer freight depot has
been erected, the cars of both roads being run
into the depot requiring simply a transfer of
freight across the platform. At Warren and
Greenville the "busses'' were awaiting the
arrival of the train, and at minor stations, more
primitive conveyances were in waiting The
depot at Meadville is grand structure, upon a
plan original with Mr.. Kennard. When en-
tire completed will rival in elegance, spacious
ness and convenience any similar structure in
the country. Three tracks run through the
depot. Upon the right hand are spacious and
airy waiting and sitting rooms, baggage rooms
and the ticket Office. Here also is a general
Telegraph, general Freight, Secretary, Treas
urer, Ticket, Superintendent, Master Machin-
ist and Presidents Office. Upon the left a
very large dining hall, and Hotel in a for
ward state of construction. The dining hall
and Hotel has been leased to Mr.. R. M. N. Tay-
lor, late of the Angler at Cleveland. Here too
are engine and car houses, and small ma
chine shop, which will soon be ovcrshadowed
by the shops the Company have already be-
gun to prepare the ground to build These
shops are not to be so extensive as at first
contemplated. The largest shops upon this
line, the Company have decided to build at
Franklin Mills in this County. Upon alight-
ing at Meadville, our ears were greeted with
familiar cry" Cleveland Morning L-e-a-
d e-r,' "Cleyeland Morning H-e-r-a-l-d," !"
--latest news" It was marvellous to
hear at so distant point the names of the
standard sheets' of Northern Ohio.
At two p. m. with magic velocity arrived
the New York train-and with an "all-a-
board" we were homeward bound, and at p.
m. city time landed at the home station, hav-
ing greatly enjoyed railroad gallop of about
two hundred miles. The road is well "bal-
lasted,' and the cars ride with noticeable
ease and freedom from jolting. In conclusion
let us here suggest that if the A. & G. w. R.
R. Co. would cause to be placed over the
doors of their station houses, the names OF
the stations, it would be great luxury to
travellers, and as this is new and enterpris-
ing road, it would be good thing for them
to adopt so desirable a plan-one not now a
custom of the railroads of the country.

VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. - About two
weeks since, Mr.. James Blake, of Brimfeld,
met with a very serious injury. He had
placed a threshing machine upon pair of
truck wheels, under shed. To this he at
taehed a pair of horses, and as he was leading
them from the shed, the machine ran forward
on to the team, and they in turn ran forward
in alarm, and before Mr.. Blake could extri-
cate himself he had his shoulder broken, an
arm fractured, and several ribs broken. Mr..
Blake was in very precarious state upon
Saturday, so much so, that members of his
family residing elsewhere were sent for. At
Mr.. Blake's age-we suppose him to be about
sixty-his recovery from injuries of such a
nature would seem very doubtful. We hope,
however, to have more encouraging informa-
ton when we hear from him again.
