The township assessors have closed up
their work at much earlier day, this season
than usual. Though Ashtabula village was
among the last, the meeting usually held at
Jefferson to make their returns, was held last
week, and the indications are that the tax lists
will he in the hand of the supervisors before
the close OF the present month. There will,
therefore, be no excuse for deferring the work
upon the road until the latter part Of the sea
son. Now that the great objection has been
INST and overcome by the attention and earn,
estness of the commissioners, we hope those
gentlemen will follow up the supervisors, and
see that no subteruge is resorted to, for de-
laying the work. Many OF our supervisors
are farmers, who would find it very convenient
to give their attention TO the roads after the
pressure of harvest is over. Let the work be
speedily done, and firmly settled before the
approach of fall, with its frequent and
soaking rains.

THE Woman's Missionary meeting-unlon
held at the Presbyterian church on Thurs
day evening of last week-toO late for any re-
port in our last-was one of considerable in
terest. The attendance was good, and the
speaking decidedly able and instructive The
first who took the floor was the Rev. Mr. HAS
INGToN, OF Cleveland. He filled up the time
allotted TO him, in very pleasant and salts
factory manner The next WAS the Rev. Mr..
KIMBALL, of Erie. To his vein of good hu-
NOR, and trrcible illustrations, the audience
were highly pleased and in close sympathy,
indulgirg in the grave and gay as his fancy
led them. Mr.. X. was succeeded by Rv. Mr..
SPINNER, of the Memorial Church, Cleveland.
This gentleman showed himself at home on
the platform, as well as in the handling OF the
subject of missions His intellectual face rails
ed no expectations that his effort did not sus-
tain and justify. His train OF thought was ra.
tional and showed much familiarity with his
subject. His style of dealing was graceful, as
well as iorcible, and had that quality which
on greater occasion would have passed for
eloquence, With the powers OF which, prob
not but think-with a suitable field-of his
capacity for usefulness and position. The ele-
ments of Christian earneslness and devotion
seem to be combined with discriminating TASTE
and scholarly finish, and, as he has much OF
lite before him, these would seem to indicate a
bright future in store tor him. The mission
ry women of Ashtabula could not but have
felt encouragement for their work.
On the afternoon OF the same day, meeting
of the ladies was held, which Was addressed
by Mrs w. A. lNGHAM, OF Cleveland, on the
subjecl and objects of the organization.
Meetings were also held on Friday afternoon
and evening at Rome and Orwell, and societies
formed, at which the Rev. Messrs. MCGIFFER7
and SKINNER were present, and advised III,

the Journal Of Fhoraacv states that having
tried without success the ordinary remedies

tations decanted off the clear liquor. This
was applied to the head every morning, and
in few weeks every trace Of dandruf had
disappeared. After discoptinuance of the
treatment for eighteen months, there has been
NO return of the disease.
