There was of course some little disap-
pointment, and well there might have
been, considering that all did so well.
All, however. was fairly done, and the
audience was large and appreciative. The
stimulating of the student to active, men,
tai labor, has revealed increased prof
liable results. The scheme was wholly
conceived by Prof Treat, in his earnest
desire for the profit of his school. Him
self and wife show themselves masters of
the situation, and what is needed most is
efficient work by our Board of Education,
and theyparents to. issue less excuses for
non-at:endance of their children, to crown
the whole with success.
The winter term commences Dec. 18th
and no pains will be spared TO make it
rank among the best.
Some ofour citizens down in the south
west part Of the township, came in con-
tact, one evening last week, with a man
so much under the influence of benzine
that he was supposing himself down on
the Lake Shore. His horse and carriage
from Fuller's livery-was, providentially,
all right save the painting and extreme
sweating of the animal, and the tumbllng
out on to the ground of the inebriaie who
had rendered his nasal organ void of much
skin, as evidenced by the copious flow of
blood. He claimed to have had "anoth-
er feller" with him, who may have been
spilled out on the road. After getting
righted, he took out his bottle and prof
fering drinks TO our party, took another
himself and started, as was thought, for
Ashtabula-the horse only, probably,
knowing the way.
Mr.. James L. Hunt 6 Lady, of Geneva,
are at present the guests ofC. s. Harmon.
Mr.. Hunt has pretty much regeneration
dislocated jaw and other serious results
from a fall, some months since Social
surroundings may, Ifnot duly guarded,
offer temptation to undue use of the yet
unsound parts.
Mr.. c. s. Harmon has raised this sea-
son 18 tons of beets from one acre OF
sward ground-a species of sugar beet.
The profit of raising turns on the milk
producing qualities they lave in feeding
to mich COWS. Rogs prefer them to corn,
and for stock, generally, they are used
with much profit. Some of the beets
struggled up TO a growth of Az lbs.
These beets, corded up as they are in Mr..
Harmon's celler, beat all the beets ever
seen by the writer
Mr.. Dingee, our Station Agent, has very
