SUPERIOR ENTRY.-We learn from Lieu
tenant J. p Vose, who has just reached
Superior to take charge Of our Harbor
Work for the season, that letter has been
received by him from Messrs. Lemay q
Grant, contractors, who state that they
will be up here in few days to make pre-
parations for the finishing up Of their work
at the Entry.
They have seven cribs ready for sinking,
two OF which will be added to the Mime
sofa pier, and FIVE to the Wisconsin pier,
finishing both, rs far as the length Of the
piers is concerned. These cribs are 90 feet
by so, with the exception Of the cribs end
ing each pier, which are so by so. After
the cribs are placed, the superstructure
viii be put on, consisting Of a continuation
Of the crib building, to q height Of three or
four feet above the waters edge, allied IN
with rock and properly covered and secured.
The entire length Of the Minnesota pier
is 2,760 feet; Of the Wisconsin pier, 2,4oo
feet. But as the Minnesota pier begins
well in on the point, having in fact, 1900
feet Of its length sunk in an arc along the
inner edge and the end Of the point, the
Wisconsin pier projects a little further out
into the Lake; both however, reaching 18
feet Of water.
It IS thought that the amount Of last
years appropriation yet remaining, will be
sufficient to finish the pier work, if not the
superstructue 4 glance at Lieut. Vose'
diagram Of soundings before and after the
great November storm, reveals that the
storm action at the Entry was .fauora55e,
deepening the channel from 2 to feet !.
There is full eleven feet Of water on the
bar, which is only 60 feet in width. Eve
rywhere else depth of IL feet and over.
The bar will disappear at the first dredging.

The usual howl goes up from Demo-
cratic threats over the announcement
that the President has gone to Long
Branch to spend the summer, and it
would seem, in Democratic eyes, to be
a criminal offense in the President to
seek little relaxation when the oppor-
tunity offars. Washington thought it
40 crime go rs often as he liked to
Mount Vernon when he was President,
and although the Democratic papers Of
his day abused him without stint, this
was not chronicled as among his Offen-
ses. Jefferson also frequently went to
his home in Virginia, when he got the
chance. Madison did the same; and
Monroe, in 1917, was absent over three
months from the Capital. Jackson did
not scruple to leave the seat of govern
ment, when ne felt like it; and Buchan-
I'm uniformly spent his summers at Old
Point Comfort, or Bedford Springs
Surely Grant has plenty of good prece-
dents to sustain him; and inasmuch as
he can be reached any moment in the
day by telegraph from Washington
City, or return there in few hours, if
needed, his visit to Long Branch does
not interfere in the least with the reg
ular operations of the government.

have visited also some of our most
beautiful cities, and crossed rivers on
bridges, which are models of elegance
and strength. This morning we have
spent in the Library and Flag-room of
the Capitol. A description of what we
saw has been written up by abler pens
than ours, and in order to furnish an
item OF interest to the members of the
"Old 18th" and to many residents OF
Belmont County, We would write con-
cerning the home Of Col. c. f. Steele.
whic! is situate ON one of the most de-
sirable building sites in Lancaster city,
and which for convenience and ele-
gance cannot be eXcelied. The Colonel
is also the proprietor OF vast tracts OF
land in the Hooking valley, part of
which are in full view from the win
dow of his private room. He is also
largely interested in mining and other
stock. The Col's record is ii good one;
serving first as Major Of the 18th Ohio,
then as Lieut. Colonel in the 62nd
Ohio; was in the seven days fight on
the peninsula; was one of the leaders
of the charge of Ft. Wagner where ne
was severely and almost fatally
wounded. He also served two years
in Mexico; was in the battle of Beuna
Vista, and received medal for bray
cry. He was united in marriage 10 a
daughter of Hon. Thomas Ewing, of
Lancaster city, and is the father OF a
handsome and interesting family OF
children. Mrs. Steele is ii lady of SUI
perior accomplishments, and as their
guest we passed. .l.i.ny pic asant hours.
May they live long to enjoy the wealth
which has been SO lavishly bestowed
upon them. III.

An Act of Cruelty.

The hands and face are the most seri.
GUS annoyance that farmers, and Eeo-
pie who labor much out of doors ex-
prience from exposure. Exposed per-
sons, especially children, repeatedly
suffer intensely from great scratches
upon the hands, that often bleed. 1t is
cruel to any ones self or others TO suf-
fer in this way, when the means Of
positive prevention ara SO easy TO be
had, and so oheaply, as to pay ten cents
for cake of Hand Sapolio. Hand sa-
polio Is not only better than the cost
liest article for removing dirt, but it
prevents chapping, and makes theskin
soft and pliable. Sold everywhere. 4

REPORTED DEATH FROM
CHOLERA.
'The Facts i'm the Case.

Rumors were thick this morning
that man had died last night from
cholera. An inquiry into the matter
revealed the following facts, which
may be relied on as correct:
About five weeks ago the Wells.
burg Manufacturing Company sent
Captain Joseph Stevenson, of that
place, to Cincinnati with a store boat
loaded with agricultural machinery.
Stevenson reached his destination,
and having sold all the machinery, to-
gether with the boat started home on
the railroad yesterday mo. ming. He
did not feel well, and ate no breakfast.
Reaching Columbus about noon he
took very hearty dinner, and fin
ished with some ice cream. When he
got ON the cars he purchased two pack
ages of cherries which he also ate.
Soon after he was attacked by cramps
and pains in the stomach, and on his
arrival here he was suffering intensely.
He was taken to the residence of his
nephew, Mr.. James Murphy, on South
Third street, where he died at 3:l5 this
morning. The body was taken 10
Wellsburg at 10 o'clock, where he had
a wife and family. He had six children,
the oldest q years of age.
Captain Stevenson WAS So years of
age, and served in the 92d regiment
Ohio Volunteers, during the war.
The attending physicians were DIS.
and Cunningham. They have
no doubt that Mr.. Stephenson's death
was caused by eating the large quanti-
ty of cherries in connection with the
ice cream and other things, which
would be sufficient to give any one
even in good health dangerous at
tack OF cholera morGns.
There Is nothing fin the ease to excite
the least alarm. Even if it was a gem
uine case of cholera, the seeds of it
were contracted hundreds of miles
from here, and as the. disease is not
contagious any number Of perscns
coming to the place with 1t would not

The Board of Education of st. Clairs-
vile Public School have passed and
placed on record the following resolu-
tiOns:
In view of the faithful labors of
Prof. Burns and his assistant teachers
during the school year just closed, the
evident progress of the pupils general
ly and especially the proficiency OF the
four young ladies who have graduated,
we therefore, resolve
/. That we declare our full conf
denee in the fitness and ability of these
teachers to educate our youth.
2. That we sincerely recommend
this school to the public as one In which
an excellent education may be secured.
3. That we urge parents in the fu-
ture to more hearty corporation and
sympathy with those who 80 faithfully
strive to benefit their children.

destructive Fire In Cambridge.

CAMBRIDGE, o., June "a, 1873.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Just got here in time
for the excitement. Sitting at home
trying to keep cool, we heard the fire.
balls ring out upon the sultry air. Pro-
ceeding at double quick up street, L
found Simons's Foundry burning at
about the speed, you'd think dry sha-
wings saturated with coal oil wo'd burn.
Soon a number of stables caught. The
heat became intense and the excite
ment intenser. Water was scarce and
people willing to carry it, scarcer. No
wing out became the order of the day.
This was done in the usual mad style.
Fighting fire without water is decided
ly no joke.
The fire rapidly travelled up the small
street or alley till it reached Rainy's
Ware-room5 in the rear of his fine
store building. Now the excitement
ragged uncontrolled. Cries of powder"
"powder" were heard and kegs of
powder were thrown into the burning
buildings. What for, 1 don't know.
At this crisis the wind changed ,
blowing the fire right back on its burn
ed track. Surely the only taing that
saved large portion of the town, was
this whim Of King Aeolus. The fire
was stopped.
Last night, fire engines from Zanes-
vile and Barnesville with all their ac-
coutrements came into town s'sonorous
metal, breathing martial Sounds
Though the fire was no longer spread
ing larger mass of burning materials
afforded a fine chance for the winds to
get up frolic and scatter them over
all the dry roofs of the place, and it
was proposed to give the engines EN-
ployment by playing upon this hot
ped. Frantic appeals were made to
form lines for supplying the machines
with water but most every one wanted
to see the big squirt and proportional
ly few wanted to serve as drawers of
water.
Talk about new fire engine for
Cambridge is now in order. The fol-
lowing property was destroyed: Sim
ons & Brothers foundry, loss $4,000,
no insurance; Zahaiger, 81 900, no insu-
rance; Rainy & Sons warehouse burn
ed and goods damaged $4,000; no in
surance; T. Reeds dwelling, So 600, no
insurance: w. Fl. McIlyard's dwell
ing, $500, insured in the Underwri-
tiers for 81 600; other small losses aggre-
eating $500. Total s31 ,OOs.

Mr.. EDITOR ALLOW Inc as a pri.
vate citizen to express my strong dis.
at the inertpess of our Off
GERS, in various positions, the other
night, at the Hall.
If well-behaved people cannot meet
for any purpose without having the
object of their assemblage defeated by
the bad conduct of band of young
rowdies, it's high time some remedy
was applied. Mr.. r. is entitled to the
thanks of all lovers of order for his ef-
forts to redeem the reputation of our
town. If any good parents feel ag-
grieved they should learn that the
true way to make their children re-
spected is to make them respectable.
The docket of a police court is a sad
place to see boys who should be put to
bed by nine O'Clock, but if parents will
not do their duty, the officers of the
law, as protectors of society, should do
theirs without fear or favor. The law
lessness of boys in our villages and
country towns is proverbial. 1t should
be repressed; if not by parents, by the
officers of that law these chaps trample
under foot. The boys of st. CIairsville,
were not the only Offenders.
A number of young men--at least they
We're big enough to be called men if
they had acted like it---referred to rs
the "Athens fellows" come in for a
full share of that well-developed con-
tempt called out by the actors in this
most disgracesul scene. u.
