BLAKEsLEE 6 MOORE have been trying
their hand upon the editor of the TsIe-
graph, and their success is very Aattering
indeed to US. Notwithstanding the poor
encouragement afforded, and the absolute
Encouragement thrown in the way by
ourself, they have surmounted all obsla-
cles and brought out a picture-"a COM
blnation and a form indeed, where every
god did set his seal to give assurance of a
man." Its excellence as picture is only
set off by its finely cut features, the sig
nifcance and benignity of expression,
and its JoVe-like head. 1t is the envy of
our contemporaries who have had the
pleasure of seeing it. One of them, in
his chagrin, reluctantly admitted that be
was not good-looking enough TO be put
in framel The fact of knowing it, and
promptly acknowledging it, is something
IN his favor, If, however, B. & N. would
consent to take him with his hat on, and
carefully tuck those long side appendages
beneath it, he might, perhaps, poss. One
thing is pretty sure, Blakeslee & Moore
could take him, if any body could, for
they could take Diabolus himself II
any other of our contemporaries wish to
look at this picture, they may call any
day between 70 and o'clock-while we
are at dinner. We do not care to be pres
ent, to have our modesty disturbed by
their eulogies. We are induced to con.
sent to this, for the benefit of the very
worthy and competent artists named.

Ed. ISL-Our people are happy with
the vegetable growth ofthese days. Those
who have not succeeded in getting their
oats in, have of course been hindered by
the successive rains. Those who have
been fortunate enough to finish the work
have the pleasure of seeing the crop
make vigorous growth. Some have
been energetic enough to have their corn
planted, and the early rains arc lending
their influence to bring 1t up and give it
an early start. The acreage of onions in
this town, scattered about in patches,
would hardly fall short of thirty acres
Most of the patches are ready for the hu-
initiating process of wedding. There is
no inconsiderable amount of racking of
brains in devising slings. and stools for
the convenience Of this culture. The
primitive mode is not popular. Specu-
lation is rife In solving the question
how long the business must be followed
in order to reverse the Darwinian theory,
and thus make monkey out of man 7
Fruit prospects are not very gratifying.
Peach trees are showing a good many
blossoms, despite the current reports that
they were all killed. Apples promise well
in certain localities, but in the main, half
crop is all that eau probably be expect

FIsHlNe.-The Editor of the Paines-
vile Telegraph, we judge has been giving
a little range to his experience, by try
ing his hand at "going fishing" It
seems he sat three quarters of a day on
the dock log, holding his pole over the
placid waters of Lake Erie, and with a
stoicism and philosophy worthy of his
occupation, reflected calmly upon the
business as an entertainment and specu-
lation. His only nibble was felt just s
he hauled up 10 go home. His perplexi-
ty then was sore, for it deprived him OF
the power of choice. He was unable to
reach a conclusion whether to go or stay.
Hope that springs eternal in The human
breast, we believe, prevailed. and he con
tinued to angle away, but wit hout
achieVment or chance TO add to the stock
OF his larder. What he expected to get,
we are not told, but in such shallow wa
tiers it is usual TO look only for minnIes,
and these are generally caught with
scoop net This, an Editor-s fisher OF
men-would not be likely to know much
about, and therefore the luck that at
tended his efforts Is in no way matter
of surprise or merriment. When our
coiemporary has another irresistible I'M
pulse for fishing, he should come down
| TO Ashtabula, where the waters are deeper
and stocked with game more worthy of
his hook.

The CENTENNTvL FESTIVAL at Haskell's
Hall on Wednesday evening, was very
pleasant and gratifying affair. The attend
ance was all that could have been expected,
for the Hall was filled, and the happiness
of all apparent. Many-both ladies and
gentlemen-were in the costumes of an
earlier day, and a variety of fashions
some quite antique and very odd. The
dresses of the grand-mothers encased the
lovely forms of their descendants of the
third and fourth generations, and many of
the gentlemen were dressed in small-clothes
and powdered hair, and we seemed to be
really in the midst of olden times. Several
tables were devoted to the display of null
titude of articles dating back in their his
tory, century more or less. a list of
some of the more interesting of these relics
we have prepared, but on account of the
pressure upon our columns, feel eonstrain-
ed to defer until next week. Numerous
tables were spread with refreshments of a
very palatable character, and the company
partOok successfully until all were satisfied.
The whole programme was arranged with
intelligence and foresight, and most hap
PLY and pleasantly carried out. The COM
pany was made up to considerable extent
of the other denominations, and generous
and kindly feeling prevalent. This church
being behind all others in such appeals,
there was, no doubt, a much greater readi-
ness to treat this generously. We do not
know what the receipts were, and have no
curiosity to know. Suffice it to say, that
in its pecuniary aspect, like every other, it
was gratifying success.
