TIE New York Commercial Advrtissr has
the following in reference to the report Of the
District Investigating Committee "From the
wild charges made by certain newspapers in
this city, the public war led to suppose that
every commissioner was engaged in robbery,
rascality, corruption and fraud. The report in
no way, shape ., manner even inslnuatss any
such charges against Messrs. Cooke, Shepherd,
and the other members of the commission.
The report condemns the system under which
the work was performed, and censures the
commissioners for the loose manner in which
the work was carried on; but there is not a
word or intimation to sustain the wild and
reckless charges of the Sun, World and TIT
b,rpe." rz-.=

COLUMBUS, Ga, has commenced the ship
ment of textile fabrics to South America. Sew
ersl large cotton mills are operated at this
point, which, as manufacturing locality, pre-
sents advantages found in few places In this
country. 1t is situated IN the heart Of the cotton
belt. and possesses unsurpassed water power,
which can b utilized at comparatively trifing
expense, and used al the year round. This
section Of country is destined at no distant day
to become the seat for the manufacture of most
of the cotton goods now made In this country.
With the great staple at their doors, highly
favorable climate, and magnificent water
power, capable Of driving their spindles every
day Of the year, there eau be no reason why
capital should not seek this section for the
of textile fabrics.

The attempt to arrest q drunken mar
named Mike Brennan at the Catholic fail
that was held al the Opera House las
week, was the cause Of scene OF pugilis-
tic rufaanism, seldom equaled in oul
town and which threatened at one time
to be ageneral riot Brennan, who is
man of medium height and powerful
build, was desirous of attending the ialr'
but owing TO the state of intoxieation ne
was in, was refused admlttance pecom
ing noisy and disor1erly Officer hennlcK
was called. who attempted TO arrest him.
Brennan resisted, and some OF his irlenos
interfered in his behalf, and the police
man finding the roughs were getting too
numerous for one man 10 handle, called
for assistance from two or three of our
citizens who were near at hand. The
officers made some headwsy, towards
getting their man TO the lookup but the
friends of Brennan eontinuefIo increase
until some one hundred or more were in
the fight. Officer Rennick fought des-
perately and received several heavy
blows and kicks. Martin Newberry was
struck over the fore arm with heavy
club, Councilman Geoppinger, ran against
an Irishman's big fist, and as he expressed
it he Thought dat nose had gone 10

The dwarf Shelf was also in the
crowd and amused himself by slYly
throwing his fists in the faces of some of
the Sons of Erin. Finally rush was
made for him and the manner this dimin-
utiye piece of humanity made himself
scarce was truly astonishing. Those
short legs of his seemed to move with the
velocity ofa lightning express train car
rying him safely and quI ckly from the
scene of danger.
MARSHAL SHAW VINO was so near out
yet so far" escaped unhurt.
When the party nearly reached the
lookup, the fire bell on Engine house No.
1, was rung which had the effect of max
ing a general stampede of the rioters
and summonIng several hundred OF our
citizens, but not in time to be of any SER
vice. During the excitement Brennan
succeeded in making break and escaped.
The next morning, however, he appeared
and gave himself up, and was fined $15,
and committed six days to Rennick's Ho-
tel.
No other arrests have yet been made,
but those who did participate in breaking
the good order of our town should be
arrested and treated to the full xtent of

CONNEAUT.

This morning about four O'Clock, fire
broke out in the Touring mill of G. W.
Rathburn, just south of the village, and
the building and machinery was entirely
destroyed to the foundation, together with
some $500 bushels of whea stored there
in by farmers IN the vicinity. How the
fire originated can only be conjectured,
but when first seen the flames were.burst.
ing through the roof and the entire build
ing was enveloped in the destroying ele-
ment. Mr.. R. was at work in the mill
until late hour, making some repairs.
The loss to Mr.. Rathburn is put at $4,000
and no insurance.
The fine weather is being improved by
our farmers-securing their corn and po-
tato crops. Our dealers have been paying
65c for Peach Blows, but within day or
two have dropped to 60c. The crop is
about an average one-some fields ex-
tremelY light, while others run up to 200
and $50 bushels per acre. HORACE.

A MILK PAN AND COOLER has been
introduced to the farmers of Ashtabula
countyIby Messrs. Guernsey & Graham, Of
Orwell, and their object is to so far get
the attention of those in the butter bust
ness as to examine and test its merits. To
this end they have inserted an advertise
ment IN this paper, which is commended
to the attention of our readers. The
cooling of milk for butter making is no
less essential, than the same process is for
cheese-maklng, and as more attention is
being given the business of scientific but
ter making, this is one of the contriv-
snces for efecting it. Our attention has
been called to one of these pans, and as its
adaptation to the end is SO apparent, we
have no reluctance in bespeaking for il
the favorable regard of all who are in.
terested. It is claimed that the amount
of butter is increased by the use of this
instrument, which, taken in connection
with the excellence of its quality, makes
the article of double utility. On this
subject We find the following article in
the Watertown-N. Y.-DispGtch, of the
goth inst, where the pans have been
thoroughly tried, and which is no doubt
good authority in the matter;
Mr.. E. Persons of Chateaugay, Frank
lin Co., writes that on the 15 and 18th of
June, he made from 602 lbs. of milk,
291s lbs. of good butter Mr.. Platt Good
speed, of the same place, made 174 lbs.
of butter from 311 lbs. of milk. The
butter was sold for 8 cents per pound
more than butter made by the old pro-
cess. The above parties use the Bort
& Bryant Pan.

LINES IN MEMORY OF LITTLE KATIE.

One little innocent gone to her God;
Bend thy head humbly, and silently tread,
Weep with the ones that weep for the dead
Let for a moment thy cares be forgot,
Strive but to brighten the parents sad lot,
Who mourn now, half wishing they too were
hurled
Away from the noise OF this unfeeling world.
Dearest of all in this dark world Of ours,
Fairest, and best, Of earth's tender flowers,
Only in dreams can they listen to meet
The musical patter Of those little feet
Dear little hands which so fondly o'fesseu'

On our way TO dinner, the other day,
we noticed young lady coming out of
store, who unhitched a spirited looking
horse, sprang into the buggy, tucked the
robe comfortably about herself and drove
of. Nothing wonderful about it, per-
haps, but her womanly air of self-reliance
was certainly worthy of comment. She
wore no futtering ribbons or nodding
plumes no veil shut out the light of heav-
en- from her eyes; curls clustered about
her head and performed better office
than coils of false hair her hands, unen-
numbered with parasol, fan, and embroid-
cred 'kerchief, were free for any use re-
quTed. Everything was snug and trim,
and tasteful about her attire, and her
well-formed features and pleasing ex-
preston spoke of gentleness, dignity and
independence OF the nonsense and behests
of fashion. That's the kind of girl, bows |
