The harvest season, save of oats, i.
completed. Hay has been secured in
excellent condition and the same can
be said Of wheat. The continued
drouth ended Saturday, and the contin-
ued copiOus rains for several days past
have materially increased the farmers
prospects. Potatoes were suffering,
pastures were short, and late oats
threatened total failure.
The large sugar house of d. f.
Waters was consumed by fire week

Waters is not aware of any enemies.

The Cincinnati Commercial, says the
question of a division of the School
Fund is a myth and humbug. No.
body nor no party is in favor Of such
division. The financial question is the
one and the only one, of Importance
in this campaign. The Cleveland
Herald says the financial question is
of no consequence, for resumption of
specie payments is impossible and can
not be forced. The laws of trade will
bring it about in due time. The ques-
ton of all engrossing importance, and
the ono which really threatens US is
division of the School Fund. A Re-
publican to be well posted, ought to
read both papers, to be thoroughly
humbugged.

On Wednesday last, occurred the
eighteenth birth day of Miss Ella NJ
Tinker, the only daughter OF Horace
Tinker, of this town. Twenty five
young ladies of her acquaintance as
sembled at her home to present their
congratulations and best wishes to her
upon that anniversary. Horace, who
idolizes his beautiful daughter. had
made extensive preparations for the
enjoyment of her friends, and full and
ample justice was rendered to every
thing prepared for the occasion. Fan
and frolic. mirth and music, formed
the programme for the day, aud every
one present participated in tho happi-
ness and enjoyment which reigned
supreme. Refreshments were served
in elegant style which were highly ap-
preciated and duly disposed of. Many
beautiful presents were made the fair
girl, who repaid the donors for their
timely gifts, in blushos, and smiles,
and choice selections of music on her
piano. At the close of the day her de-
lighted guests departed, with heartfelt
wishes that no clouds may intervene,
to mar the joy and happiness Of u lev
ed one, whose morning seen thus
sheds his brightest rays over a life full
OF delightful hopes and pleasing an
ticipations of future happiness in the
coming days. May she ever realize
her fendest hopes, and cherish, with
sweetest recollcctions, the events OF
her eighteenth birth day.
Oar farmers have not secured all OF
their crops OF hay and eats, at this
date, yet the welcome rain of ysster-
lay, which will cause delay Of a day
or two, was most acceptable, as the
.otatee crop was suffering severely
or want of moisture. VEAITAs.

Last Saturday, ,Suly 81, the Portage
County Teachers Association held it's
monthly session st the Town Hall in
this place The meeting was one of
the most successful that has been
held for a number of months. The
programme was completely carried
out. About sixty strangers were
present. A picnic dinner was served
by the Brimfeid friends, making in
every respect good time. The peo-
pie of Eriinfiela coald not attend in
large numbers, owing to the actual
necessity eftaking care of their crops.
We notice by the numerous posters
in different parts of the town. that q
select school is 10 be held in this place
this fall, commencing August %, un-
der the charge of Mr.. Hiram Sapp, of
Kent. May he meet with abundant
success. Quite number of the older
teachers propose attending. There is
nothing that could be of more profit
to our people than a good Fall School.
DR.. Geo. +. Waldron, a graduate Of
the Jefferson Medical College, at Phil
adelphia, Pa, and formerly one of our
Brimfield boys, has bought out DIR.

Several improvements are being
made about our town. A new stone
culvert has been built over the creek
east of the Center. The new school |
building that is being built by Darwin
Smith is moving along rapidly. Our
hearse house, cemetery fence, and |
town hall are undergoing a coat of
paint. The hall was locked to in time,
for in few mont g more the tin roof
