The allusion in your last to the sudden
death of DR.. Bard read DR.. Bond. The
funeral on Friday was numerously at.
tended. Beside the large number of ma
sons, many of his old neighbors, friends
and patrons from Sheffield, were present.
The suddenness of his death awakened
unusual interest, an Il brought members
of the fraternity both from Ashtabula
and Conneaut After the interment, re-
freshments were served at the lodge
room. The Rev. S.erns, ofthe Me.
Church, acted as Chaplain, and a fine
loaf of cake was sent TO shis resi-
dence. The following preamble an d res
oIutions have been adopted by the
Lodge:
WHEREAS, It has pleased the Great
Architect of the universe 10 remove from
our midst our late brother-Dr. VIM. Bard
and, whereas, it is but just that a fit
ting recognition of his many virtues
should be had, therefore,
ResolUed. By Orion Lodge, that while we bow
with humble submission to the will Of the Most
High, we do not the less mourn for his removal.
Res0lUed, That in the death of Dr. Bard this
Lodge laments the loss of brother who was ever
ready to proffer the hand of aid and the voice of
sympathy to the needy and distressed of the fra
ternity-an active member of this society, whose
utmost endeavors were exerted for its welfare
and prosperity friend and companion who was
dear to US ala physician whose loss the COM
munity mourns.
Resotred That the heartfelt sympathy of this
Ts.Ir- l,l Xii
ton.
Res5EUed, That the foregoing resolutions be
spread upon the records of the Lodge; also, that
copy thereof be Transmitted to the family Of the
the usual badge of mourning for 80 days,
DR.. J. H. Parshall will now take 10
the practice of medicine again. DR..
Webster favors cooperating with him.
The drug store of DR.. P. will probably
change hands soon. Too much indoor
confinement has proved prejudicial 10
health.
On the evening of Wednesday, the
10Th inst, there will be "corn jubilee"
held at Lockwood's Hall, N. Kingsvllle,
under the auspices of the Sabbath-school
at that place. The novelty of this affair
is explained thus: Last spring, Rev. Mr..
Comings put up forty packages of seed
corn OF 4S kernels each. Some 80 or
more of the girls and boys took each
package to plant-making twelve hills to
the package. At maturity, the instruc
tions were TO harvest, dry and shell and
put up in sacks. At given time all were
10 meet and decide who had raised the
best crop, and thereby become entitled
to gold dollar. The corn was then all
to be sold and the aYails to be put into
Sunday school Looks. ALI through the
summer reports were made by one and
another of the progress of the crop
showing the deep interest felt. Mishaps
overlook some of these young farmers.
A little daughter Iof Martin s. Harmon
lost her crop in the succotash pot, and
that of one the boys was appropriated
by an industrious biddy, but the hen, IN
turn. had TO atone on the auction block.
A fine time is expected.
The auction sale of carriages which
was advertised for to-day, went off toler-
ably well. One cutter brought s62.
The readings of Prof Warman were
considered good, and were well appre-
ciated, but the house was light. G.
