BILE improvement to his residence by grad
ing OF the g-ounds. and the erection of a
fence, which together will add materially
to the beauty as well as the value of his
place.
Mr.. John Carter, who boasts the biggest
barn this side of the Dutch institutions
of old Stark, is overhsuling the porch
es Of bis house, and adding much to its
taste. NotN: :thstanding the size Of that
barn, We can easily understand how the
crops of the present season, gathered and
ungatheced, will test its capacity.
Mr.. Lyman WEBSTER has added to his
buildings neat and commodious horse
barn, now finished and in use.
Our sis;er village of N. Bingsville is do

Our infrlnary director had his wits
somewhat taxed The othsF night in reliev-
ing one Of his stable horses from dilem-
ma. He got loose and backed down fight
of stairs, which broke through with the
weight. The poor animal was extricsted
by dropping him through upon pile of
straw. A day or two of soreness and lame
ness brought him out all right. A new
flight Of stairs and a guard against such
accidents in future, is the sum of expenses
to the county.

acre farm in Geneva-north centre-whith-

inquiry-'sOh have you heard the news
from Maine-good news and true," &C., as

The meetings of Sunday we're confined
to the Presbyterian church-Rev. Mr.. Dib-
bell filing the desk.
Having got started from home before
the storm of Sunday, We made our way to
Ashtsbula and attended the Presby terian
church. The sermon, by the pastor, on the
subject Of mans creation In the image and
likeness Of God, was highly interesting and
instructive. It hslpsd Us to place p little
more value upon humanity thaa before:
Our anticipations were more than realized
regarding the songs of praise. as rendered
by the quArtette, with organ accompani-
ment. Harmony of tone and expression OF
varying sentiment were fully secured. Its
effect was truly emotional, notwithstand-

made very agreeable by Prof, Wilson and
family. The interests Of your schools lay
very near the heart Of this gentleman, dis

KingSville schools, with Miss Cole as pre-
ceptress, is making everything bead to
success. @,
