The winter term Of our High schools
began this week, and the second term o
the Academy, under the charge of Mr.
Guthrie, opened with very satisfactory
auspices.
A large force of men and teams have
been at work recOnslructing the dam at
the paper mill, aud not many days Will
transpirs before that concern viii be in
full operation again under the new or
ganization.
Work on the the town house has near
ly ceased, the walls and roof having
been completed last week. It is an i'm
posing structure, and our tax payers very
generally express qualification with it,
feeling assured that the contractors have
done their work well, and that the mon
ey expended for its construction has been
economically used. The building is Il
credit TO the town. Further work on the
building will be suspended until spring.
This locality has been literally repre-

10 tell ''ihe truth" and the naked truth
about the dealers in crooked whisky. We
have but few men who have descended
90 far in the scale of manhood as to en-
gage in the wicked traffic, but these have,
the past few months, done large busi-
ness, and the saddest aspect of it is, that
it is principally among the young men
and Buys. A raid upon these drpOts of
ruin is earnestly demanded, and if the
courts cannot interpose the strong arm
oflaw TO protect Us from the evils of in
temperance, other exigenci es will be
called for. Rumor has it, that the pro-.
prietor Of one OF these places of fresori.
now under bond to appear at court, has
u dozen or more indictments returned
against him by the grand jury.
The advent ol December finds farmers
generally looking and waiting, and fully
prepared for wInIer. With the exception
of corn, their crops are secured. The aV-
erage yield of potatoes will doubtless fall
below 100 bushels to the acre, and Of on
ions, the crop was not b .lf of o ther years.
Dealers buy and handle with much eau
ton.
Revival meetings, Unde the prea ching
oil Rev. Mr.. Parker, are still continued
at the Cong'r house, aud while the re-
suits have not been all that could be de-
sired there has been much good done.

EvANGELIzINe.-Arrangements are De-
ing made for inviting the Rev. Mr.. Par.
ker, the evangelist, to visit Ashtabula
and begin series of meetings under the
united auspices of the Methodist and
Congregational churches. The initial
meeting will take place on next Tuesday
evening. at the Congregational church.
Mr.. Parker. we understand, is a veter-
an evangelist, having devoted his lite to
this work. One of our prehistoric cit
zens informs us that on The day he came
10 Ashtabula to setile-4O years sgO-he
found Mr.. Parker here, preaching at the
Presbyterian church. and that one, al
least, of the present officers Of that church
dates his conversion back to that time.
He is a gentleman of good abilities and
bearing, discreet, and comm ends himself
to the people among whom he labors.
The pastors of the churches that unite n
this movement, have attended his meet
1ngs al Austin burg, and speak well OF
him.
Mr.. Parker has lay assisiant-a Mr..
Clark-who renders such aid as the ne
cessiIies of the case may seem to demand
After his work IS done here, there is
propect of his being invited to the Cong'l
church at Rock Greek, Rev. Mr.. Shsfer
pastor.
The revival spirit seems to be general
ly prevalent in this as in foreign lands,
and who shall say that the people OF
Ashtabula and neighboring towns are
not wise in reading the signs the times
and putting themselves in a proper atti-
tude and temper of spirit for realizing
the advantages of that presence and its
power for good?

The flags all over the city are still aY =

President Wilson, an event which causes
sincere and universal sorrow. His simple
manliness Of character, his unquestioned
honesty have year by year won for him

the late President Lincoln he sprung
from the very dregs of the people, ana

SMALL Pox.-A young man by the
name of Adelbert Woodruff, came from
Warren on Friday. the 18th. to his home
in Ashtabuls, and on the following day
was taken down with small pox. DR..
Hubbard was called, and arrangements
made for his care and treatment at the
house of his parents, located on the east
bank of the railroad crossing, on Pros
peci street. The arrangements, as we have
1t from the attending physician, is plac-
ing the patient in the room fartherest
from the street.-The third from the front
and the care of him is assumed by his
mother-ths only one of the family that
has TO do with him. The father has the
marketing and the movement about town
to do.
By direction OF the Board of Health,
signals have been placed near the house
to acquaint the public with any supposed
danger. The Board have also urged by
verbal request and printed notices, that
all who have not been Vaccinated to sub
NIT at once 10 that operation, and that
those Who are unable to meet the ex-
pense, may call upon the physicians Of
the village, who will vsccinats without
charge. The children of the public
schools are thus expected to be all vac
canated. If there should be any who re-
fuse to be vaccinated, it has been deter
mined. for the time being, to exclude
them from the schools.
This is the situation of the case as it
now stands. and 1t IS thought to be the
best that could be done under the cir
cumstances, and the opinion of the Board
Is that fuil and fair statement of the
facts would be better and more satisfac-
tory and quiehng, than the course recon-
meuded by some-of silence, and an at
tempt to keep the public in ignorance.
There is no occasion for fear in coming
into town from almost any direction, as
the business portion of the village Ia too
far removed from the locality Of the sick
ness for thought Of danger.
II has been rumored that q second case
OF the disease has appeared. and the ru-
NOR was sent to the Cleveland Leader
from here, where it appeared on Tuesday
morning. The Board has made dillicent
inquir y, and find there is no ground fer
his'rumor whatever.
Our readers and the public may rest
assured that they will be kept fully and
fairly posted With regard to the progress
of this dieease among US. Knowing the
facts in the matter. they may with intel.
ligence attend 10 their business wants
among us without fear or exposure.

an indirect effect. The public take 1t for
