EARLY FRosTs.-Sunday and Monday nights
of the present week left traces of frost in the
neighborhood of Ashtabula but they were so
slight as to leave but little evidence upon
vegetation. We believe that the intruder has
not yet ventured within the corporation limits

THE Painesville telegraph of last week saws:
I'VE are sorry to say that Mr.. Merrill is far
from being well. He left us for trip around
the lakes and visit to Canada. When he re-
turns, some two or three weeks hence, we hope
at least TO find his health much improved, if
not fully re-established"
AMONG the improvements of the village may
be noticed the erection of an upright or main
building to the REDHEAD place. in the occu-
pancy of contractor M'KENzIE. Thus Ortho-
dox Place is improving. The addition will
be, no doubt, as it should, of comely appear
ance, standing as it will, beside the Reservoir
Lot, with its imposing inclosure, and elegant
landmark of that neighborhood.
We call the attention of our readers to the
advertsemnt of Messrs. BECKwITH, STERLING
81 Co, Carpet Dealers, Cleveland. These gen
tlemen have one of the most extensive carpet
establishments in the west, and those in want
of elegant carpets and fine curtains, who can
not satisfy themselves at home, will do well
to make trip to Cleveland to see them

the name OF JOHNSON having caught the rail
road lever that has been agtating, to such a

ON Saturday morning last, at the house of Mr..

fects of that brutal transaction. Her husband
