LAKE CoUNTY.-Our correspondent in
Perry, writes us:
Either my manuscript or the compositor
made me guilty of quite mistake in my
last letter-please correct SO as - say that
Mr.. Morgan L. Crosby, for the two past
years unable to walk, is now moved about
in his invalid chair.
Mr.. Wyman still continues very low and
shows no improvement.
The concert at the Methodist church has
been postponed until Christmas, when it
is proposed to have ''Christmas Tree" at
the same time.
Trade is reported as brisker now than
at any time before, since the commence
ment of the panic.
From the Madison Gdsette We condense
as follows:
The winter term of Madison Seminary
opens next Tuesday. There is a prospect
of a very full school.
Mr.. Milo butcher, the temperance lee
turer, delivered in North Madison last
Sunday, two very forcibie lectures.
Mr.. E. D. Warner broke one of his ribs
| few days since from being thrown out OF
his buggy by the sudden side movement OF
| horse which he was driving.
MAHoNING COUNTY-From the Youugs-
town ReGtSter we CLEAN:
The Eastern Ohio Poultry Association
will hold an exhibition in this CITY, COM
mencing on the 18th of December. 1t
promises to be much larger than the last
one.
FRANKLIN COUNTY.-The returns to the
Auditor of the State from the several
counties, show gratifying increase of
| the value of property brought on the grand
| nearly double that of last year over the
year preceding. and will reach nearly for
| ty million dollars, of which twenty-th
| millions are personal property, and re-
mainder improvements to real estate
| The heaviest increase is in Hamilton
county, reaching eight millions of dollars.
| Cuyahoga county comes next IN swelling
| the duplicate. The footing of the whole
on the grand duplicate will reach about
81 ,564 900 600, an increase of $62, ,O00, coo,
| since the revaluation Of 1870. The amount
| of tax raised under the State levy for all
purposes, including the asylum fund,
school fund, payment of interest and prin-
clpie, State debt and general revenue
| purposes, is $5,474,0OO. The country and
other local taxes will aggregate about
nineteen or twenty million dollars, being
| nearly three-fourths of the whole amount
raised by taxation. The increased State
| levy this year is little over one million
dollars, all on account of the new sys-
| TEN.
Our correspondent "signa", writes us
from Oberlin, as follows:
| Chapel bell, and the building itself, which
only last week was the scene of noise
| and confusion, is now as free frum it as
hive Of bees during the month of Decem-
Der. Its former occupants may be seen
| during the coming winter, in nearly every
| State in the Union, engaged in various oc
| equations. The greater part of them will
| probably be employed as teachers, and
why do college students prefer teaching to
| any other employment. 1t is very plain to
every person who gives the subject sec
ond thought. They are greatly benefited
by vigorous review in the common
branches, which every faithful teacher OBJ
tains in carrying out his or her occupation
this winter. Messrs. Burr and Churchill,
| two able Professors in the College, will
take charge of the school this winter, as
sisted by number OF competent teachers
and have no doubt that it will prove a
success, and will give perfect satisfaction
to any who may wish to attend. 1t begins
Dec. I'd, at 10 O'Clock a. M, in College
Chapel. The people of Oberlin and vicin-
ity have been highly entertained during
The past three months, by some of the
loading lecturers of the day, most of whom
were greeted by weil-filled house which
characteriZes Oborlin people. The last
one, j. G. Holland, alias Timothy Tit
comb" delivered lecture in First Church
to q large audience; subject, elements
of Personal Power" He won the admira-
tion of all who heard him. and I dare say
he greatly excelled his previous cOmpetit-
ora. / think Geauga county has been
quite well represented here this last term,
no less than fifteen students having at
tended. who either reside there. or have
lately moved away. The attendance here
from Geauga Co., has gradually increased
from the ifst one or two who came here
four or five years ago, and hope it may
: continue to do SO for many years to come.
The fall term of the College closed last
Friday. The last two days were wholly
taken up by examinations, which were un-
usually severe. Taking the term as a
, whole, can safely say that it has been
one OF marked improvement to every dill
gent student and considering the amount
of sickness which prevailed on every side,
) the students haye been qnite healthy. A
person entering Oberlin for the first time,
especially at this season of the year, is
most always impressed with the idea that
=, it is very unhealthy place, on account OF
t its being SO low and fiat. I suppose two
very good reasons to base anets opinion
upon, but by inquiring, he finds that they
will not prove true in this case, because
} learn from old citizens that this always
, has heen an unusually healthy place and
; l know from my own observation within
the last two years, that this has proven
, true. At present the snow is the deepest
that it has been any time this fall; about
three inches on a level. with favorable
, omens of much more, but in the present
state of affairs. it only makes neattors
! worse because il rsnders marked assist
{ ance in rendering roads that are muddy
still more so.
