"A great family picnic came off on the
18th inst, given by Mr.. Archibald Black
at the residence of his ~son-in-law, Mr.. Ly-
man Leonard, in Wayne, Ashtabula Co.
Mr. Black, now in the eighty-second year of
his age, had the pleasure of meeting at this
family reunion sixty-eight of his descendants
children, grandchildren and great grand
children. Mr.. B. was born in Massachusetts
in I784-moved to New York and was
married in 1S1O-came west and settled in
Vernon, in this county, in 1914.
"A man named Laughron, who had been
imbiblng too freely, undertook to drive INTO
the porch at the Eagle House, on Sunday,
and got into a row, which led to his being
summarily arrested and placed in Jail. On
Monday morning he was taken before the
Mayor, who sentenced him to a fine and
costs of Sl1, 90, which he paid, and was re-
leased from further durance. Had the land
lord of the Eagle House exhibited a proper
regard for the peace and quiet of the Sabbath,
by not allowing parties to occupy his porch,
and indulge in loud and disgusting profanity
and blackguardlsm, for at least an hour, the
disgraceful disturbance would not have OCCUR
red. The fault was not wholly with Laugh
ron.
The Constitution of this week is hilasi-
Gus over the departure of Rev. John PEATE
from this place. For months past it has
been mute, but ascertaining that the Rev.
gentleman's back was turned, 1t ventured
to slip the collar from its neck, and like a
cowardly whipped cur that has slunken in
to an obscure corner, it emerges into day
light and barks itself hoarse in very gladness
that the hand it so much dreaded Will no
longer be near to whip it into silence. The
far-fetched fling of that concern at Rev. Mr..
BROWN, late Pastor of the Baptist Church
in this place, who always spoke out fearless
ly for the Union cause, is of no consequence
further than showing how malignant certain
reptiles are in dog-days.
