begins on (this) Monday morning. The
Professor has added an excellent Eng
Iish teacher to his school, and thinks he
can offer greater inducements to Eng
lish boys than they can find in any other
school in the city. All the English
branches are taught, also the classics
and different modern languages. Draw
ing is also taught BY competent and
experienced teacher. The Professors
school has done well thus far, and we

From the Sentinel:
An Agricultural Society has been FORM
ed in Andover township. The time for
holding the first fair has not yet been
fixed.
The storm raised Grand river Saturday
so that Il great number of saw logs were
carried off from the mill at Mechanics
vile. Mr.. Osborne lost about one hun
bred, and Mr.. Richards even more.
The Ashtabula County Agricultural
Society will hold its Twentieth Annual
Fair on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, Sept. 5th, 9Th and 18th, 1866.
We have been shown a specimen of
quartz and feldspsr rock, by Mr. Carpen-
ter, of Andover, which contains some very
fine crystals of plumbago or black lesd.
The stone is Il part of one the granite
bOulders, very common all over the State
of Ohio. 1t is not usual to find plumbago
in rock of this kind, and even if there
were a quarry of it at hand, it would
scarcely be worth mining for the black
lead, when tine quartz would have 10 be
crushed as for gold and in this case, we
would recommend the people of Andover
not to go into the mining of black lead,
as it might not pay. Yet this specimen is
a curious one, in the compound of its COM
pOnent parts.
\ serious accident befel our townsmen,
Mr.. Arson Alger, on Friday last. He
was engaged in moving seme logs at Nc
Nuts saw mill, on the brow of a bank,
and i~mprudently working alone, when the
log got TIE start of him, and throwing
him lengthwise with the log, passed over
him, crushing his chest and hips in a ter
rible manner. He managed TO call for
help, when he was taken home on an army
blanket, from which he cannot bear TO be
moved.

FROM Tue OudIuOA OCHtOCJG
The latest Assessors returns on file
at the Office of the County Auditor, show
that the cheese manufactured in Geauga
county in 1866, amounts to 5,II2,556 lbs,
or over eight hundred thousand more
than the year previous. This may seem
incredible, but it is nevertheless true.
Azahel Bowers, of Newberry, a bache-
lor, committed suicide on Tuesday of last
week. On the DAY Of the suicide, he was
missing from some time in the forenoon
until nearnight, when he was found dead
in his own house. He had hung himself
bv the neck with a small cord fastened to
a board in the chamber floor. Mr.. Bow
ers was an industrious and exemplary
citizen, and no cause can be assigned for
the suicide but confirmed melancholy,
caused ny the death of his mother which
occurred in the fall of last year.
We have received a letter from a stran-
ger in Texas, stating that, on the 9th of
