LAKE COUNTY.


The gainesville Telegraph, of the
best papers in Northern Ohio, appears
THIS week in an entire new dress, looking
as neat as new type, good paper, and good
press work can make it. Mr.. John q.
Morrill,, an attacbe of the Office for fifteen
years, has purchased an interest in it.
From the Telegraph we clip the follow
ing gainesville and county items:
Evening meetings have been held in the
Baptist Church in this village most Of the
time since the year commenced, and ak
persons have been baptized.
Work on the Pioneer well which was
suspended last fall, has been resumed
the drillers commenced operations again
last week, at q depth of nine hundred feet.
We hear that the indications for finding
oil are considered very aattering by good
judges. Quite a number of the share
holders are in favor of tubing and testing
the well Immediately, while the majority
decide to go down to the depth Of 1000
feet and then test it.
Mr.. Robert Offer was very seriously in
jured Tuesday morning by being knocked
down and run over by a horse. His head
is badly bruised and it is feared he is in
jured internally and fatally. He was in
sensible when taken up and carried home.
A meeting will be held in gainesville
on the 22d inst to hear the report of the
committee on the project of building q
soldiers monument.
The people of Willoughby have orga-
nlsed an association to build q monument
to the memory Of the t~hirty-three soldiers
of that town who, during the late war gave
up their lives in defence Of their country.
For three weeks q great religious reTi-
val has taken place in Willoughby. The
NJ. E. Church has been crowded nightly
with citizens from the village and sur
rounding country, many of whom have
been admitted into the Church. Converts
have numbered from forty to sixty night
ly. There is a general union of all the
Churches in the movement.
A serious accident occurred to Mr.. Chas.
Morley, of Kirkland, about two weeks
ago, caused by a runaway team, which
threw him from his seat into the road,
breaking his arm and badly cutting his
head.
A building for the accommodation OF
the travelling public is badly needed at
Wicklide Station. At present the only
shelter for the passengers arriving at and
departing from that station consists Of q
water-tank. A little improvement in that
direction is earnestly requested by many
citizens.
Mr.. Mellen, of Cleveland, at a meeting
in gainesville on Monday evening last.
in aid of the Freedmen, gave an account
Of the condition and wants Of the Freed
men as he observed them in a recent tour
through certain parts of the South. A
room has been openedi in the Parmly block
for the reception of contributions.
