SAYBROOK.

Ed. TSL-The entire press of the cOun-
ty, if mistake not, have adopted the plan
of securing correspondents in the princi-
pal towns in the county, and a very good
plan it is in my judgment, for I like TO
read what is going on all around US, and
that department of the paper is what
look at first.
In this town, the ladies have two socie-
ties, one of which meets once month,
and the other once in two weeks.
The Woman's Missionary Society will
meet at the NJ E. Church on Friday, Aug
z, at 2 80 p. m. All ladies are invited to
attend. The next meeting of the Ladies'
AID Society will meet at the house oi
Mrs. Joseph Garner, on Wednesday, Aug
IL. at 2 p. m.

want it distinctly understood that ]
am in favor Of both nominating and elect
ing James A. Garfield to Congress, be-
cause believe no other man, even if he
were the equal of Garfield in ability, but
lacking his experience in legislation, can
serve this District half as well. Garfield
has made some mistakes-great men often
dol make mistakes almost every day ;
but the General has had the sagaclty to
see. and the manhood to rectify, all these
errors of judgment, as far as lay in his
power. The State of Ohio may justly be
proud of his standing and influence in
Congress, and can i'll afford to lose his SER
vices in the councils of the nation for years
to come.
Last night Rev. G. W. Vibberts ad-
dressed an audience, respectable in num-
bers, on the subject of temperance, at the
Congregational church. The object of
the speaker was to concentrate the
strength Of the friends of temperance to
vote against the license clause of the
proposed new Constitution. The address
was able. logical, and eminently practical
IN its application. The chairman of the
committee-Rev. S. W. Streeter, announc-
ed that Prof Tuckerman, of Austinburg,
would speak on the same subject at the
NJ. E. church, on Tuesday evening, Aug.

The SECRET.-Those who prize a
beautiful head f hair, land we know our
lady friends all do), will thank US for a
few words on the invaluable qualities of
AYERS HAIR VIGOR as a dressing In
our own case it heals humOr, keeps the
head free from dandruff and scurf, stops
the tendency of our hair to fall, and
heightens its beauty. A slight touching
with it removes the coarse and dry ap-
pearance which neglected hair puts on,
imparts d rich gloss, and makes US pre-
sentable in the most fashionable company.
Such rare qualifications, presented in a
single preparation, create for it an eDdu
ring value; but add TO these the faculty
of restoring TO gray locks their youthful
color, and maintaining our good looks
with so small an expenditure of time and
attention, and you stamp it prime favor
ite to the public, and ensure its permanent
and enduring popularity.

be a,success among the big fish. A trout
taken from his nets on Monday last,
weighed 10 pounds. He was a splendid
fellow, and would fill the bill for any ep-
icurian table. The white fish, we are IN
formed, are not taken in the same quanti-
ties as heretofore, and the conclusion is,
among the fishermen, that they are
changing their feeding grounds. This is
a habit of theirs. Sometimes their run is
much further out than others, and unless
their runways are detected, the catch, of
course, is limited This, We suppose, ac-
counts for the success attending our local
ity, while another is attended with but in
different luck. The Conneaut fishermen
are sometimes doing a good business,
