AsHTABULA COUNTY, The Geneva
Times contains the following: The
s'bug of bugs'' in this section is not
flonrishing as anticipated. He has
found a determined enemy in every
man. woman and child, who have
fought him at every potato hill, and the
crop really looks promising. In Harts-
grove, we hear, the Colorado bug has
been reinforced by the old-fashioned,
.long-waisted potato pirate, and the two
work together like so many thieves. -.
At present the indications are that we
will have 4 large crop of Office-seekers
this season. i sure sign of hard times.
From the Ashtabula Neacs We learn
that it is expected that the building of
1000 feet of level dockage, and the con-
struction of coal shute, at the harbOr,
will soon begin, for the harbOr eXten-
sion of the Lake Shore road. ...

CUYAHOGA COUNTY.-ErOm the Leader
we cOndense: For two or three weeks
the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
shops would be located at Collamer
Station, east of and near this city. By
request of the railway officials the city
papers have said nothing of the negotia-
| tions which have been going on, bat
the location being now fairly establish
ed, the facts can properly be given to
the public. The negotiations for the
purchase of the land required by the
road for track, freight, transfer AMI
shop purposes, were concluded yester-
day, the company paying for the land
in full, and taking title, as appears in
the regular report of real estate trans
fers published in this paper. The pur-
ing from Nottingham Station, at the
eastern end, to a point a quarter of a
mile this side of Collamer, on the west.
1t covers two miles of the railway track
on both sides, being of an even width of
twenty rods, the entire distance, on the
south side of the road. On the north
side of the road the company purchased
strip only fifty feet wide, beginning
at Nottingham Station, and extending
about half mile westward, at which
point the line of the company's lands
| abruptly widens and takes in three
several parcels, containing altogether
some sixty acres in body. The pur-
poses for which these lands will be used
are apparent from their shape and loca-
| tion-the long and narrow strips on
both sides of the road being for addi-
tional tracks, and the land in bulk, at
the Collamer end, being. for yards and
shops. The price paid for the land by
the railroad company is $3.50 per acre,
the total purchase price being about
| $l04 900, which is seven thousand dol
lars less than it has cost the parties who
have procured and sold the land to the
company. The police force consists
of one hundred and thirty-two patrol
men, eleven sergeants, six ronndsmen,
two turnkeys, one emigrant policeman,
one clerk, captain and superintendent
-l53 men. .....#t... ........
