BELLAIRE lTEMst--A large number Of
our most prominent citizens have been
arrested and fined under the snow ordi.
nance. The only thing commendable
about the whole matter Is that those ar.
rested for the violation Of this ordinance

citizens, who were fully able to Hbear the
pressure" The old saying Of "the bitter
bitten" is in all respects appropriate in
these cases, some Of the gentlemen who
framed the ordinance being fined for q
violation Of the same. Par frairum no

ing:
Last evening the Centennial travellers,
Stewart and whitehill, entertained the
citizens Of Columbus for about two
hours very pleasantly. They have
adopted this means Of making their
business known and creating an interest
In the work. and 10 has met with suo-
cess In the towns thus far visited by
them. Mr.. whitshill confined his rs-
marks TO the purposes and arrangements
for the celebration OF the Centennial.
showing clearly and concisely what had
been done for u by the several States
and tho city Of Philadelphia, what Is
proposed to DO done. and giving q COM
plete exhibit Of the grandeur Of the pro-
ject and the magnificent results to be
anticipated. Professor Stewart gave one
Of his enjoyable talks-they are more in
tho manner Of instructive conversation
than scientific lscturs-on geology. min
eralogy. electrical phenomena, stratii-
cations. fssurs veins. and such and such
like. holding the attention OF his audi
tors throughout. and leaving theimpress
OF his scholarly mind on all. We hope
that during their journsyines in this
section We may have another opportu-
nifty Of hearing thorn speak.
The Centennial specimen collectors
are succeeding in getting many raro and
valuable specimens. We saw yesterday
q bushel or moro ootton.balls (borats Of
lims), white a. snow. and with Q deli
cate satin lustre which We imagine will
astonish some Of Eastern and Tor
eign friends. Most Of Thorn were given
by Mr. Henry Swsetappls, OF this place.
Some rich specimens OF silver ores have
also been obtained here. DR.. A. Mar
rotte contributed two small bars OF base
bullion from Sylvania district. and
many other parties are preparing speci-
msnst 70 hand in TO the gsntlemsn ON
their return. Professor Stewart and
the State Mineralogist left to-day for
Belleville and Rhodes Salt Marsh. and
expect to return tomorrow and 60 By
the way Of Aida Valley and Montezuma
TO Belmont. which place they will roaeh
in about . week or ten days.
