Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1874-04-11

The trustees of the township, having
in view the greatest good to the greatest
numbrr, have very kiHdly invited the free
and independent voters of SaYbroOk to
meet them at the old school house, on
South Ridge, next Monday. 1t is supposed
| hy some that the reason of holding the
election there instead OF at the town house,
is that the said trustees have little un-
pleasant feeling about the location of said
town house. l feel ii my duty to say thai
such surmises are not correct; the true
reason is that the school house stands ON
the highest ground.
Perhaps should say for the benefit of
those who live out of Saybrook, that we
have had a good deal of dry and freezing
weathrr in March, and our wheat firl,s
and meadows have been injured thereby
but we do not every year see the roads Ms
good on the first day Of April as they are
at this time
L. B. Br0ckett has built cheese factory
on his premises, near the west line OF the
town. This makes three factories that will
be in operation this season. j.
The above correspondence came to
hand too late for our last number, having
taken about three days in accomplishing
the journey from SaybroOk To Ashtabula.
Notwithstanding all that has been said
and deprecated about the notoriety of this
place, its fame is not yet fully established,
evidently.
In my last, briefly alluded to the con-
certs, but TOO briefly to meet the yery gen
eral and deep interest taken IN these mu-
sical entertainments. Allow me to make
a further allusion to them:
1 thought You might like to hear about
how many Scholars there were that went
to Mr. Cases Musical Institute, and whrth-
er folks>iurned out pretty well to the con
certs; so inquired and found Mr. Case
had nigh an to hundred scholars in both
classes, that the boys and girls liked him I
as teacher first rate, and some of them
got to be pretty good singers before be
left Say brook
Well, both nights of the concerts il
showed, and was real cold Friday night,
but l harnrssed up old Spot, and Sally
and l went down to the Corners. We
didn't know as there would be hardly
anybody there, but we found the h0us,
about full, and the Prof was ready to be-
gin when we got there. The first chorus
was, "In the Cross OF Christ 1 glory" then
a aquartette, Travelling Hnmcward," and
after while real good solo and chorus.
Work and Pray" duet, by two little
girls; "The little cripple's song" chorus.
Roll on, majestic Ocean," and then a man
with black beard got up and sung all
alone, and good too. 20, in all things there
is music" Three girls sung what they
called Mermaid's evening song. 1 never
heard mermaid sing, buI if they Can do |
any better than these girls did, l would |
like to hear it. Mr.. Case sang about Ka.
tie Lee and Willie Gray, and the Sewing
Machine. Sally aud felt ", Ii satisfied il |
We did come two miles through the |
storm 10 hear the concerts.
Mrs. Case played on the organ for the |
children TO sing. Mr. Case, on whal al |
first tock to be fiddle, but was told il |
wasn't That at all, but violin. Now, | |
believe fiddle in ball room, played fnr
the purpose of enticing the young and |
lhOughtless to chase the glowing hours |
with flying feet, is a wicked thing, but II |
violin in church, aud playing only sacred |
music, is smother Thing, aud could never |
see why OOd folks should he willing To |
let the wicked one have the best tunes
and instruments. The Concerts were good |
ones, and MIR. Case took in over Lundreu
dollars for tuition and concerts.
