The assemblage of citizens on Monday, to
celebrate the erection Of monument to the
late Joshua II. Giddings, was large and
respectable, large in numbers, and consider
ing the intense heat as well as the state OF the
roads, from the previous days storm, very
large and il was respectable in being made
up of the old men and women Of the county,
veterans in the long fought battle OF liberty
where Mr.. Giddings led, and the more culti-
waited of the present generation, who intcilcctu-
ally as we'll as patrio .ically appreciated the
occasion and its associations. The ceremon-
les were few and simple, as the more appro-
pirate.
At one o'clock the people assembled in the
Court House, when Hon Abel Kruw, was
chosen chairman, and VIM. Hcndry, Esq,
Marshal. Those present then formed in pro-
cession and marched to the Cemetery to view
the monument and the last earthly resting
place of the subject of the occasion. Return
ing, the audie nee was formed in the Court
| House Square, when Hon. ]. A. Garfield de-
livered an address commemorative of the his
tory of the life of Mr.. Giddings and his con-
| nection with the national history and its final
redemption from the curse of slavery.
The address like everything from our able
representative, was worthy both of himself and
the occasion, and needs no praise from us. 1t
was furnished on the spot to the Cleveland
reporters, and has already made its appearance
in the columns of the dalies of that city.
We expect to give it place in the columns
of the TELEGRAPH next week.
PAINEsvILLE RoAD.-The following article
taken from last weeks AdUertiser, would rather
lead to the conclusion that the stock of the
P. Y. & p Railroad, was not yet all taken.
This would seem not a little odd, in view OF
the strong and oft repeated assurances of
its paying character, and the superior excel
lence, above all others. of Fairport Harbor
"What news about the Railroad ?" is an
interrogatory that meets us daily and hourly
| From present indications it looks as though
| this desirable improvement, so essential to the
prosperity of Painesville, and the surrounding
country, was dead-died bornin-for lack OF
material aid and sympathy from property
| holders. When the reaction takes place, con-
sequent upon the loss of the road, and rents
and the value of real estate depreciate, prop
erty holders will too late find their indifference
and want of fostering care, will in the end
prove peculiarly loss. Rents will deprecate
as the amount of business decreases Many
families are only wal ing formal announce
ment of the failure to obtain funds to build the
road, ere they seek homes in more energetic
business places. Only about sixty thousand
dollars is now needed to secure the road This
could be advantageously taken by those owning
rented property on Main Street and contiguous
thereto. The first train of cars would add 81
per cent to the rental value of it. Will moi
those able, but who have hitherto held back
now come ioreward and pledge the. small
pittance needed to make the Painesville
Youngstown & Pittsburg Railroad a frGd fact
1t is now or meyer. Ashtabula stands ready
| with the funds if we fail, to secure the road.
We would think you, neighbor, if you viii
just let us know when your failure is ixcC
fact, so that sce may feel at liberty to propel

THE Frenchman, with his trained Bear tina
passed through this place few weeks since
producing such an excitement among tn,
children, it is has been stated came to grief
.bruin having gobbled up his master at singl
meal Another story is now afloat putting
different complexion upon the affair, the
bear being the victim-not, however, of tn,
devouring process. The Frenchman conclu
ded TO take nap one day on the bank o
Niagara river, close TO Suspension Bridge
having first tied the bear to a stump. Whel
the master awoke he found that the stump
bling rotton, had yielded to the efforts of th
bear, who wished to go down to the river, anC
succeeded beyond his expectation. The re
mains of the bear foated ashore some dis
tance down stream, and the sorrowful French
man has had the skin stuffed
THE Rev. MIR. RICHARDSON, who supple
the desk of the Presbyterian Church in the al
sence of the Pastor, is giving a good degree
satisfaction. The habits of q student are sufl
ciently shown in the thoughtful and well d
gested efforts of his ministrations, while di:
f cretion and balance are easy and graceful az
compartments of his professional as well socii
bearing. The knowledge of this state of thing
at home, will, we doubt not deract nothin
q from q relish of the pleasures of travel, and g
far to allay any very natural anxiety that al
. sence might awaken in the mind of faithft
pastor, while its quietng and comforting c
fleets will will add much to the sanitary inf1l
ence of relaxation Of freedom from care.
