CUYAHoGA CoUNTY.-From the lea
Ter of Cleveland we Clip the f0llowing:
The schoolmaster is abroad and SO IS
he schoolmistress. An educators" eN-
,ursion has just departed our shores con-
sistipg of over one hundred and fifty
teachers. They are under the ''man-
agement' of a man named Cook, who is
to put the party through portions of Eu-
rope for stipulated price and return
them in August. The party sailed on
the steamer Victoria. for Glasgow. Satur
day last, and represented almost every
State in the Union. Among the names
we noticed the following Ohioians: Mrs.
F. c. Watson. Upper Sandusky, Miss |
Jennie A. Sexton, Cleveland, Miss En- |
ma C.. Lane, Cleveland, and Z. c. Wes- |
tervilt, Oberlin. The geutler sex strong
ly preponderate in the party. We see it !
stated that the expected advent of the
party has attracted attention across the
''brfny'' and that at Edinburg there will
be public reception, at Derby a Grail
way welcome" and the Earl and Coun-
tess of Shrewsbury will in person re-
ceive the Amer lean teachers at their
seat of Alton Towers. At London there
will be ball, also 4 coaensa=iope by the
British and Foreign Sunday School n
ion. and efforts are making to have an
audience with the Queen. Its the most
remarkable excursion that ever has as
tonished the Old World. and good OPP
portunity will be afforded to the aris-
tocraey for inspecting the mental train
ers of American soyereigns. OF the par
ty's appearance the New York Adrer-
tiser says: There was something indies
cribably well considered and well per-
fected even about their travelling gear,
which one is not apt to find among urav-
ellers whose lives have not been
schooled to the multiplication table. n
severe plainness was stamped upon the
apparel of the ladies, and the regulation
| camp-stool, rug, waterproof, and field
glass, told that hints to European tour
| lists had not been made in vain. There
| was only one exception, and that was a
young lady, whose genteel irippery OF
soft-teXtured poianaIse and Marie An
toinette ruff and black-yelveted and
white Marguerited chaueGu provoked
contemptuous glances from better
schooled companions. AS the steamer
| swung down the bay, the educational
party flung their handkerchiefs in last
salutation to the breeze, and 4 person,
on the dock exclaimed, "Thcre go
brains. and good luck go with them!'
And sour-visaged individual who
COULDN'T go, responded, "Well, it's for
tunate for them that we do not agree
with the ancients in location of the i'll
teliect." The eloquent Irish orator.
Father Sheey, viii lecture at Brainard' s
Hall on Sunday evening". The entire
road bed of the Lake Shore e Michigan
Southern railroad is to receive new ties
and rails between Adrian and Jackson,
Michigan.
GEAUGA CoUNTY.-From the Chardon
| al ba p IT
Ladd, of Claridon, showed us recently a
lock of very fine wool taken from one OF
his sheep which measured twelve inches
in length. Mr.. Ladu also has Il pair OF
twin lambs, eleven weeks old, the pair
weighing 1872 pounds. If any one can
beat this we should like to know it,.
Owing to the numerous other attrac-
tions, the ChardOn Thespian Society
have concluded not to play on the eve
ming of the 4th of July next. 1t is eN-
pected that Capt. j. B. Burrows, oil
PainesVille, will speak here Oh the It'll
of July.
| MAHoNING COUNLY.-From the Regis
Ter, of Youngstown, we CLEAN: Com
plaint is made that the freight tariff is
so eXorbitant on the A. Y. 81 2. r. r
that shippers as far north as Orwell can
do better to bring their cheese to War
rem by wagons, and ship thence to New
York. They say they save time and
money by so dong. Why is this thus
go. Mr.. Jesse CorIl, sixty-five years OF
ship, in this county, seems to be as Wig
orous as half of the young men of the
period. This spring he plowed fifty
five acres of ground, sowed part of it il
oats and planted the balance in corn
without any assistan ce >. A severe raiI
and wind storm prevailed in this section
on Monday afternoon last. Scvera
houses were unroofed, chimneys anC
trees blown down and considerable othe
damage done .. A we'll dressed woman
staggered up Federal street on Monda,
evening sadly under the influence o
liquor. 1t was truly a sad sight.
AsHTABuLA COUNTY. From the Genev
Times we gather the following; Shortl,
after two O'Clock on Monday the cit
liens of this village were started by re
port that Mr.. Al. Morgan, freigh
agent at this depot was dead in hi

deceased in his arm chair, facing TIL

writing, head thrown back, with II,

the pistol used to do the dreadful deat
had been placed in his mouth, and it die

and had spurted upon the papers ant

The pistol lay on the floor, on the RICH
