OHIO.

AsHTABuLA The Geneva
Times says that village passed the
Fourth in an unusually patriotic man
ner. There are now about twenty
insane people in the County infirmary,
for whom there is not room at New
burgh. The Ashtabula Ne,cs says
Messrs. Streeter, Giddings 6 Co., whose
factory was destroyed by the late fire,
have made an assignment to Messrs.
Abel Krum and William Seymour for
the benefit of their creditors. Liabili-
ties $50, 900. Sylvester Brown, late
ly on trial in Jefferson, was in town last
Saturday, and of course we Sinterview-
ed'' him. He talks strongly about the
"malice'' of the prosecutions against
him in the will case, as well as in the
late trial. . The acquittal of Sylvester
Brown, we learn from the Jefferson
| Sentinel. has not excited much surprise.
Brown, it will be remembered, killed
his wife, or at least was supposed to
have done so, but the evidence was not
| found sufficient to convict him. For
ty-five thousand shad were transported
to Ashtabula last week, under the direc-
ton of the United States Fish Commits
sion, through the influence of General
Garfield. The Telegraph says: The coal
traffic has begun over the A. Y. &. p.
road. Twenty car loads were deposited
on the new wharf on Saturday last. EX-
perience has already shown that their
great area of docks--some 700 or 800
feet--is not sufficient for the opening
trade, and greater commodiOusness is
demanded and contemplated.
GEAUGA CoUNrY.-We CLEAN from
the Republican: The Fourth was cele-
brated in this place in accordance with
the programme previously announced,
and we doubt not to the satisfaction of
the people, who seemed to be out en-
mdsse. The crowd was one of the largest,
If not the largest, ever seen in ChardOn'
The orator of the day was Capt. j. b.
Burrows, of Painesyille. The, soldiers
who took part in the sham battle were
under command of Gen. W. L. Fitch,
and it speaks well for his good manage
ment and that of his subordinates that
it passed OF successfully, and without
any serious accident. Three infantry
companies, from Chardon, Montville
and Huntsburgh, with accessions from
other towns, and two artillery compa-
nies, one from Chardon and one from
Hambden, were engaged in the battle.
Although the crowd was immense, it is
Il noteworthy fact that everything pass
ed off quietly. and no accident worthy
of mention occurred. - The public
schools closed the Spring term last week
on Thursday, after an unusually pros
porous term.
MAHONING CoUNTY.-FrOm the YOungs-
town Register we compile the following
The Mahoning Coal Company have de.
termfned to build separate and inde-
pendent track from the A. Y. & p, to
run along the east side of the line to
the harbor. -. In a match for the cham
pionship of the Mahoning Shooting
Club, which took place on "Wednesday
afternoon, between d. r. Streeter and
: M. L. Terrill, the latter was successful,
killing eight straight birds. while Mr..
Streeter shot but seven out of eight.
-. The Convention which met in this
city OH Saturday last, for the purpose
of placing in nomination Il county tick
ct favorable to the removal of the coun-
ty-seat, was the largest and most har-
monious convention ever held in Ma
honing county. Committees were
appointed, and the matter is to be fully
canvassed during the coming cam
paign, and in the Fall to be settled by
ballot. Youngstown is the commercial
center of MahOning Valley, and the
county seat will undoubtedly be re-
moved to the city.
CUYAHoGA CoUNTY.--From the Leader
we condense: The Fourth was observed
in Cleveland by huge celebration,
the procession and exercises of the day
being witnessed by thousands of people
who were present from the surround
ing country. The Grafton was deliver
ed by Rev. DR.. M'Laren. In the eyel-
ing the display of fire works was poor
er than had been expected, and the
committee have since been called upon
to render an account of the manner in
which so much money was spent with
so small n show. . The premium list
for the Northern Ohio Fair has been
issued. The premiums, amounting to
the large sum of 3O,00O, are distributed
through wide range of articles. The
fourth annual fair will be held on the
29th and 3Oth of September, and the 1st,
I'd and Sd of October. The following
recent graduates of the Cleveland Law
College have been admitted to practice
in the United States Circuit and Dis
