7 A MEETING of the Board of Govern
ment of the Portage County Agricul-
tural Society was held at the Office of
the Secretary, John Meharg, Esq, on
Saturday afternoon. The proposition
to lease the Fair Grounds for the pur-
poses of Horse Fair was discussed
and vote taken thereon which stood
three for and three against the propo-
sition. The vote being tie the ques-
ton was lost.
The Board voted to pay Dr.. A. A.
Harris ten dollars for his services in
procuring the advertisements which
appear in the Pamphlet Premium lists
of the Society.
We arerequested to say that the re-
port which has been pretty freely cir
culated that the Board had charged
the Disciple Church $40 for the use of
the Fair Grounds for their yearly
meeting is uot true; that the Board
voted the use of the grounds to the
church, free of charge.

A PERILoUs RIDE.-A few days
since as Mr.. J. NJ. Talbot and wife
were returning from Hiram Rapids to
their home, about two miles north of
Garrettsville, scene was enacted
which no one, and Mr.. and Mrs. Tall
bott in particular, would care to re-
peat. They were riding in carriage
drawn by two spirited steeds. Soon
after commencing to descend into the
raEine near John Sanfords, (every one
who has journeyed that way has the
topography in his mind-the long,
steep hill on either side, the stone
bridge spanning the yawning, rock
girt chasm, and the creek which flows
beDeath,) the neck-yoke broke, letting
the neap fall to the ground, and the
carriage on to the'horses' heels. Away
they went, almost like falling in mid
air. The bridge was reached and
crossed. but just at this point the neap
caught in the ground, whereupon the
horses and Mr.. Talbot, who was
holding the ribbons" were separated
from the carriage in double quick
time. Mr.. Talbot struck the ground
with great force, was dragged few
feet and left just in time to turn his
head and see his wife get out of the
carriage without any volition on her
part. The moment the neap caught
in the ground, the carriage turned
complete somerset. The back cur
tain had been rolled up, thus enabling
the wife to leave the "other end" of
the carriage and still pursue her hus-
band. Mr.. Talbot was considerably
bruised, but the wife was uninjured.-

FINGER SNAsHED.-On Friday last
Mr.. William Cline had the middle
finger of his right hand completely
f1attened out while engaged in raising
a barn in the north part of this town.
ship. The barn was pried up and Mr..
Cline was engaged in putting a screw
under it to hold it, when the lever
slipped letting the building down and
catching his finger between the sill
and the screw cap, holding him fast as
in a vice, and uncomfortable as the
position was, he was compelled to
"grin and bear it" till the barn was
again pried up, when he was released.
The finger was completely crushed.

For several months past, the ques-
ton Of a change in the Office of POST
master in this place has been agitated,
with considerable bitterness of feel

1t was triangular fight, but the De-

hand In. More than one Radical of
the Ishmalite breed, is placed in a
very ludicrous position in their en-
deavor to ride three horses instead of
two, as usual On such occasions, The

SAD CASE OF DRoWNMG.-A sad
case of drowning occurred in the
northwest part of Randolph on
Thursday last. At the noon intermis-
sion of the school in that district, a
number of the scholars went down to
the Breakneck Greek for the purpose
of going in bathing. Among the
number was WILDER, the little son and
only child OF Wesley and Celinda
Bassett, between seven and eight
years of age. While the others were
in bathing, little Wilber ventured too
near the bank and slipped into the
stream below. The water was ten OF
twelve feet deep and the current very
lrapid, and he was swiftly carried
down the stream. His companions
were unable to rescue him, but the
neighbors were aroused, and after
about three hours search the remains
| of the little unfortunate were found
lodged amid lot Of drift wood three
quarters of a mile beloY where the
calamity occurred. The funeral took
place on Saturday afternoon at the
Methodist Church in Randolph, and
was attended by large concourse o.
people, who testified their sympathy
with the parents in their sad bereave
ment. i''s"

accident occurred at the residence of
Mr.. Lansing Kellogg, ON Cleveland

was supposed to be nothing but dirt,
and no further notice was taken of it.
Soon after the child managed to re-

which it swallowed, and which proved
to be deadly poison. DR.. Belding
