Thetrue Republican simplicity Of man

ASHTABULA COUNTY NEWS
FROM OUR own CORRESPONDENTS.
SAYBROOK.

Eds. Tel.-Jonks has been to the mis-
sionary corn festival which came off at the
town house last Friday night, and as you
were not there, we must tell you about it.
Last May, Mrs. Fouts, the President of
the Methodist branch of the Woman's For
eign Missionary Society, put into practice
the idea of raising funds for the society by
means Of corn festival. Some sixty or
more packets of corn, each containing forty
kernels, were given to members of the diff
ferent Sabbath schools here; each one TAX
ing packet was expected to plant the
same, raise what corn they could and do
nate same to the society. Well, the festi-
val came off, as before stated, at the town
house last Friday evening, the house being
filled almost to suffocation. The corn
weighed-the Methodist schools producing
$40 lbs, the Congregational schools 179
lbs, amounting to 10 bushels and IS lbs.
of shelled corn.
Dora Loveridge was No. 1, she having
raised 2O15 pounds of shelled corn from
forty kernels. The next two that were
highest on the list were Miss Alma E.
Walker, 1881 pounds, and Erastus W.
Rush, 1881 pounds, and from that down to
pounds.
The tables were set off with corn bread,
hOminy and milk, mush and milk, baked
Indian pudding, and corn coffee for drink.
Tickets for supper one shilling, with all
the fun thrown in. The corn was sold to
the highest bidders, and averaged go cents
per bushel, and the receipts from all
sources amounted to little over $24.
Unfortunately, the rush was greater than.
was expected, and for the first time inSay-
brook, the supply of eatables was not equal
to the demand, and some went away with
out supper.
Prot. J. NJ. Baldwin is going to have
writing school at the town house, COM
mencing on Tuesday evening, November Z.
Mr.. Baldwin is pretty well known here,
having taught before this, and has always
had a large class, which we hope will be
the case now.
Band No. 2 of the Young Peoples Tenn
perance Union will give literary enter
tainment at the town house on Friday eve
ming. Nov. 10-admission free. We hope
= these monthly meetings of the Union will
be well attended, and every encouragement
given them by the friends of temperance in
the town, for their design is to combine So
cial amusement with intellectual culture.

ORWELL.

Eds. Igl.-Business has begun again for
the winter. Depredations have also begun
with some of our young men and boys.
Stoning houses, destroying property and
disturbing the peace Of the community,
are amOng.the irregularities of the times.
Some of the dePredators have been brought
to justice and made to pay; several, also,
are awaiting their turn for trial. These
things are not evidences of a wholesome
state of society, and the sooner they are
dealt with and stopped, the better it will
be for our credit.

KINGSYILLE.

The letter of our regular Kingsville cor
respondent. dated at Philadelphia, found
us with so much matter in hand, that it
was necessarily omitted. The matter was
of an interesting character, and our nu-
merous Kingsville readers would have no
doubt perused it with relish. OF course, it
was not an account of the Centennial Ex-
position, as no one can write of that on
sight. He was one of a company from
Kingsville, made up of A. B. Luce, P. NJ.
Whelpley, with their wives, A. NJ. Barton,
E. NJ. Curtis, J. Kinnear. Stephen Sabin,
and Frank B. Nettleton. A visit was paid
to the [. S. steamer Plymouth, lying in
the Delaware, officers, marines, middieS,
munitions Of war, &C., &c. Independence
and Carpenter Hah were next taken into
account. Then attention was turned to
the Exposition, the experience of the COM
pany was that of others. Its effect was be-
wildering-a wonder of the world. The
crowd was less than on many previous. .oc-
casions.
All being regular church going people,
they gathered at the Central Presbyterian
church on the first Sabbath morning, and
were edited with the preaching of DR.. Mon
roe, divine of Irish rearing and educa-
ton. The afternoon found them near
Bethany Presbyterian church. Beside this
church stands a fine building, arranged for
Sunday school purposes, known as Wanna
makers Sunday school. This gentleman
is the head of the great clothing house
the largest in the country advertised in
the TELEGRAPH last spring. As in busi-
ness, so in his Sunday school work-he has
no equal in the country. The average at
tendance of scholars is l, 700. The seating
capacity is 2, 900. He is a wonderful man,
and all his enterprises are after his model.

The election in this town was perhaps
the most earnestly contested one ever
known. Everything that could be done
was turned to the best account, and the eff
feet was the largest vote ever polled. The
actual. counted vote was 1.124-73 over
the October vote, and increasing the plu-
rality Il votes. These two elections show
that this town is squarely Republican when
she speaks out. Although this vote is so
much increased, the full vote is not indi-
Gated. There we're numbers of both par
ties that, for one reason or another, did not
vote. Some were at the Centennial, some
paired off. and so on. The vote of this
town, pOlled out clean, would, as was said
by our canvassers, crowd 1.5OO.
The number of aged voters that cast
their ballots on Tuesday, was matter Of
note. Attention was drawn by their being
brought to the polls by the strong arms of
their friends. The custom has been for one

the Republican ticket. The courtesy of
agreeing upon a man to fill the
vacancy in the Board, and Republican
st that, and then moving and secOnding
his election by our Democratic friends,
was hardly carried out in their course to-
ward these venerable citizens.
