TINS County Commissioners are in session this

relation thereto,
NOTWITHSTANDING the disagreeable night, the
Donation Visit given to Rev. G. A. ApANs was
largely attended on last Friday evening, at the

THE TABLEAUX.


Quite a number of our little folks gave series
of rabeaux, at the Courthouse, on Monday even
ing last, for the benefit of the Presbyterian Sabbath
School. The entertainment proved to be success,
artistically and financially. The house was
crowded by young and old, and none were dis
pleased with their evenings amusement. The
spirit and energy with which the Juveniles, of both
sexes, entered into the work, is a credit alike to
themselves, and the object they had in view. From
the outset they exhibited true Yankee tact and en-
terprise, by laying under contribution every body
and every thing that could be made available in
the success of their exhibition. No one was
slighted. Printing office, Court-house, dry goods,
hardware, grocery aud drug stores, spinning
wheels, tea-kettles, playingeards, glasses, bottles
mops, wash-tubs, and scrub-brooms, a6 irfaitana,
we're pressed into service, with tact and energy
that would have done credit to a United States
Quartermaster, and all were made to answer
a commendAble purpose.
The programme arranged, some half-dozen or
more little girls, selected according to their ability
as good takers, made a thorough canvass in the
sale of tickets, aud wo be to the unlucky wight
who refused to purchase a ticket. The entertain
ment was creditable to it's participants, and ae-
ceptable to all who Witnessed it, receiving many
Aattering and well-deserved compliments. It
would be unjust to make any discriminating com.
mentary, where all acquitted themselves so well
in the various parts assigned them. The net re-
ceipts were $40, and all unite in saying, f" Well
done for the children" REVIEWER.

vicinity have so far escaped injury.
The Tuscarawas Adpocate reports that there is
noinjury to the fruit in that vicinity.
The Painesville Telegraph reports the fruit un-
injured in that neighborhoo1.
NJ. r. BArEHAM, Esq, who has travelled con-
sidcrably over the State, gives it as his opinion
that the peach buds are uninjured.
The Cleveland Leader, the authority of an
old fruit grower, reports the fruit uninjured in
that vicinity.
Testimony from most parts the State seems to
be in favor Of the opinion that the peach buds are
uniIured. In this vicinity they have not been
injured, but look vigorous and at the present time
give IA ir promise Of an abundant yield.

Hundreds Of mortgages and other ineumbrances
upon lands remain uncahos,led on the records,
although the debtstheyrwere Evcn To SECURE have
probably been paid. Thousands &C tax sales have
been made, incumberiug lands aud lots, many Of
which have boen redeemed but not cancelled, but
aarge number still exist valid hens on the prop
