KINGSVILLE.


Ed. 1el.-Our budget of news thss week,
is not full, but what we have is at your
service:
Our cheese factory, under the manage
ment of G. W. Morse, is a model of neat
ness and order, and the patrons can be as
sured that their interests are subserved.
The increase of business over last season
is apparent in the use of two vats in the
place of one last season, turning out some
l2 or 13 cheeses daily. The selling is in
the hands, principally, of Mr.. David
Richmond of Sheffield. He has closed
out 200 lots thus far this season, at an
average of Is cents. The Secretary, Mr..
Edwin Dlbell, ensures full and complete
statistics at the close of the season, SO that
"he who runs, may read" what Kingsville
cheese factory is doing.
Yesterday, as Mr.. Bonesteel, living in
the northeast part of Ashtabula Tp., was
loading household goods into his wagon,
preparatory to moving Mr.. Jones, Of N
Kingsville, his team, usually of example,
ry habits, started with about half load
OF bureaus, bedding, &C.. while Mr.. B
was in the house. They took the road
east and continued their run for some two
miles, and as they kept the road got along
very well, until the house of Mr.. J. Van
Sicklins was reached. Finding no OBJ
struction in the way of front fence, they
dashed into the yard. through and over
Mountain Ash and other ornamental trees,
fetching up against locust, without fur
ther damage than the breaking of the har-
ness.
June has brought with it the usual sum-
mer picnics. Quite party congregated
upon the shore OF the lake, last Saturday,
at the Whitman place. The afternoon
proved more enjoyable than the searching
winds OF the morning promised, and the
occasion was one of more than usual
pleasure. n

nur schools.

Mr.. Editor-There is an impression
abroad in the community, that there was
an invidious distinction made betwixt the
last and preceding graduating classes of
the High School. That they were denied
public graduating exercises on the plea OF
economy, etc. Now, there was regula-
ton for the government of the Board in
all such matters, something like this-l
cannot give the exact phraseology
cry class having finished the prescrlOeu
course of study IN the High School, shaii

If not, how do the Board get arouno the
matter so easily3 doubt whether The
largest tax payers in the borough would
have objected to their portion OF the tax
for the little sum required for fully carry

this class was entitled as well as Others
preceding.

effect and influence not only on them, but
upon the entire school, is only evil.
Again, will it pay to allow some of our
best teachers TO leave. merely because they
wish larger salary, to which they are en-
titled by their talents and fitness, and MI
their places with new and perhaps infe-
rior teachers? Will it pay to allow the
schools to retrograde for the sake ola few
paltry dollars? If so, bitter will be the
fruits and sorrowful the experience. Spare
no pains to get the best talent, even at ad-
yanccd salaries, and thus make the
schools, next TO the churches the pride
of the city. Any other course will prove
in the end, penny wise and pound fool
ish" A word TO the wise is sufficient.
JUSTICE.
The matters alluded TO in the foregoing
article, we are not informed upon, and are,
therefore. unable to say whether the crit
icisms are just or Otherwise. We give il
place under the supposition that the
Board is fully competent to meet it, by an
authoritative statement of the facts and
their bearings in the premises.

The PainesviIle Telegraph of last week
in an article on the railroad, says, Con-
tractor Darragh has already transferred
a large part of his construction force to
the line between Niles and Youngstown,
and an early completion of all unfinished
work between those points may be conf
IDENTIFY expected. Track laying between
Painesville and Richmond, which has been
somewhat DELAYED for lack of ties, has
been renewed, and will be completed dI-
ring the week. The directors have now
under consideration the laying of track
on the east side of the River to Fairport.
Several routes are being considered, but
the exact line has not yet been -determin-
ed. The line will, however, cross the riV-
er at some point few rods west of the
new plank road or county bridge, so as
to strike either the island or point near
the brick kiln, and follow on the line of
the old Painesville and Fairport railroad
bed to the harbor.

Crops are all looking well, and pota-
toes. about which so many fears have been
expressed, are not an exception. This is
what might be expected. Good nursing,
according TO the popular notion, is better
than doctor stuff. No crop, perhaps, was
ever so well attended to before. Small
patches within the range ofour perigrina-
tons. are well guarded from the distruct-
i've foe, the bugs. They are picked off by
hand twice day, and destroyed. The in
tention is to keep them down so close as
to prevent the spawning, and thus run
them out. Various parties have assured
US that their success is very satisfactory.

The CEMETERY is feeling and showing
the benign influences of the Efforts of the
ladies for its improvement. Prop.

son of Pat Barret, and force of three or

Mrs. Judge Parsons, representing the la-

TASTE The indications are, that the natu-
raj attractiveness Of the cemetery grounds
will be made more pleasing by judicious
Topping. pruning, grading, and graYeling.
The trimming Of the forest trees, has been
we'll done and makes an apparent change
for the better. STILL better, however. we
think it would be, TO cut out entirely some
of the poorer specimens of the trees where
they stand too thick for beauty, and fill
the ground unnecessarily with their roots.
Fewer trees, with more room for spread
ing tops, would be better arrangement.
The trimming Of the eVergreens Is gener-
ally good, but here and there bad failure
is apparent. For instance, Norway
Spruce on the lot of the writer, beautiful
in symmetry, though perhaps rather large
Tor its position, has been pretty much
destroyed. Its hideousness, demands its
speedy removal. 1t would seem, in case s
OF this kind, where the trimmer is at his
wits end, before taking radical measures,
that the proprietor preferences might be
consulted With great propriety. We
would not howeverer, obstruct the work
for the loss of single tree, and bid the
workers 20 ahead with our hearty en-.

city VS.. County Newspapers.

We object to the course pursued by the
-Ashtabula correspondent ofthe Cleveland
Herald In the issue Of that paper in
June 4th we find no less than four articles
under the heading From Our Own Cor
respondents" that had previously appear
ed in the columns of the Reporter, though
somewhat differently worded. OF course
the Cleveland Herald gets its information
from its own correspondent, but where
does its correspondent get his information
from. 1t looks to man up the tree as
though these items were obtained by
clippings from oun0wn county Newspa-
pers If so, is it any more honorable to
publish these clippings complied by a
correspondent, without giving credit to
the paper from which taken, than it
would be for the paper itself to publish
without giving credit We can stand
the pressure of the city papers using their
influence against the free circulation of
newspapers IN the counties where pub
lished, in order to help increase their cir
culation, but when it comes to having
our local news clipped by correspondents,
that news sent to the city papers, agents
sent out to tell our patrons that they can
furnish more local news and more read
ing for the U'oney than county papers, we
throw up the sponge. Reporter.

The Tennesseans, at the Opera House
on Tuesday evening, had very fair
house, and the entertainment was enjoyed
beyond any thing in the concert line that
has OF late visited US. The simple melo-
dies of the plantation hands of the South
in the days of slavery, with all the deVO-
honal fervor and wildness. freedom and
novelty of expression. seemed to take the
popular ear and reach the popular heart,
and were reIished to greater degree than
more refined and artistic performances.
There were, however, some excellen-
voices among the nine performers, which
would command approval anywhere. The
applause, and the recalls, were evidence
of the appreciation of the audience.
