Western and Northwestern States and Ter
ritories, with representatives of the Govern
ment Coast and Geological Surveys and a
few distinguished scientists from abroad,
assembled in the Ohio State building on the
Centennial grounds, in responee to the call
Of the Chic Archaeological Association, fol
the purpose of forming an international
Archaeological Association.
George R. Brinkerhoff, of Ohio, called
the meeting to order, and Professor E. A.
Cox, of Indiana, was chosen temporary
chairman. DR.. Haldeman, of Philadelphia,
made an address of welcome, and compli-
mented the Ohio association upon the in
tsresting and valuable character of its col
lection. A Board of Affairs was chosen
Of which, Cononel C. c. Jones, of New
York, was President, and Rev. S. D. Peet,
Of Ohio, Secretary and Treasurer.

Judge canneId.

The reports of the indictment of Judge
Garfield of this Judicial District, which
have been in circulation for a short time.
we have purposely avoided noticing in the
hope that further developments might strip
the affair of what appeared to be rather
rugged features. The matter, however, re-
mains as at first, and as it has found its
way into the county press, we need have,
we suppose, no further scruples about re-
lating the facts as stated. Judge Garfield
is charged in FIVE counts with conspiracy to
defraud the creditors of man by the name
of Woodward who formerly went from Ge-
auga county. The indictment was found
at the last June term of the Court of Quar-
ter Sessions, in Warren Co., Pa. Nash,
the client of Judge Garfield, was also in
dicted with him. A requisition upon Gov.
Hayes was issued by the Governor of Pa,
and warrants-now in the hands of the
sheriff Of Geauga Co.-were issued by the
Governor Of this State. Thus, during the
sickness of Judge Garfield, the matter
stands.

Bank Suspension.

On Saturday last, the well-known Bank.
ing House Of Garfield, Murry & Garfield,
of this place, closed business, and made an
assignment to J. E. Stevenson, Esq. fol-
the benefit of its creditors. The amount OF
assets or liabilities it is impossible as yet tc
state: but we are assured that its business
was never on a sounder basis than at the
hour of suspension, and that, with time
and patience, its creditors may reasonably
look for full payment. The suspension
was undoubtedly due to the circulation Of
false and scandulous reports involving the
standing of the firm, and thus impairing
the public confidence, and producing a
drain which no institution of the kind could
be expected to withstand
Chardou Republican.

SOUTH NEW LYME.

Eds. -Tsz.-Your hint to send local news
from every school district is not overlooked
The breadth of wheat being sown by oul
farmers, is far above hat of last year, and
is put in in good condition. Though large
fields of this grain are not common, almost
every farmer raises enough for the use OF
his own family and few bushels over.
The good people of New Lyme have re-
Gently had rousing Sunday school picnic
pleasant and satisfactory.
Prof. Dunn, of Hillsdale College, closed
the Freewill Baptist yearly meeting on Sun
day evening. A sermon had also been Civ
en- by Rev. DR.. Ball, of the Baptist Union,
N. Y. They were both very able efforts,
and the audience very large. The meetings
were held in the grove.
Our good people are now to turn their
attention to the Old Folks Meeting, at or
near Dodgeville, on the Goth inst. The
history of New Lyme, from its earliest set
tlement, will probably then be read. Should
the weather prove favorable, there will no
doubt be larger gathering than has be-
fore taken place in the township.
Our dairymen's prospects are rather dark
compared with former years. They realize
only from 81 to cts. The price of man
ufacturing is the same as when it netted
them 18 to 20 cts.
The complaint of ''hard times, we hold
is due in a great measure to ourselves. One
reason is, we spend more than we earn in
the purchase of unnecessary articles-silks,
satins, fine bonnets and general extrava-
gance in dress. 1t is vain to look to Con-
gress for relief, unless they will pass law
compelling US to do our own labor, or one
to prevent running in debt for thousand
frivolous things. They will never, we sup
pose, make it penal offense for our wives
and daughters to take the last dollar laid
aside to help reduce the mortgage or pay
the interest on our bank debt. A hundred
millions a month added to the circulation
by Congress, would only lead US to cry for
more. Though we admit we are little
short ourselves, we still claim there is an
abundant supply for all legitimate purpos-
es. In the three-quarters of century that
we can look back over, we do not remember
year when so large an amount has been
expended for travelling for pleasure, as the
present. Excursion trips by rail or boat,
are Of almost daily occurrence, and all full
ly patronized. There seems to be no scar
city Of money except for paying honest
debts. SCHOOL DIST. NO 1.

KINGSVILLR.

Eds. Ta.-Sabbath school picnics. which
are usually fraught with so much prepara,
ton, were gotten along with this year with.
out much care or effort. There was spon-
taneous feeling of unity, and the thing
seemed to run itself, for the first thing
the friends knew, the three societies were
on the shore of Lake Erie having social
festive time. On Thursday last at O'Clock,
a procession was formed at the Methodist
and Presbyterian churches. with the band
in their new wagon, drawn by four horses,
while other four-horse teams, and lesser
ones, followed, making quite formidable
procession The grounds had been cleared
and tables erected the day before. The
music of the band, with the old leader, Mr..
King, made it especially pleasant. The
company numbered some $50 or more. The
lake was placid, the weather fine, and the
refreshments bountiful and luxurious. Mr..
A L. Howard was the chief instigator of
the affair, but active cooperation was not
wanting. The Kindness of Mr.. Whitman
in furnishing ice. Mr.. Griswold in giving
the use of the field for the securing of
teams, Mr.. Flemming in generously allow
ing the use of the premises, and Mr.. Hugh
Holt in supplying the lumber for the Ia
bles, are all highly appreciated. With such
torrid days as this was, we shall be glad to
accept the proffer of Mr.. Holt to fit up this
spot for another year.
The desk of the Presbyterian church, in
the absence Of the pastor, was filed on
Sunday last by the Rev. Mr.. Dibbell. The
discourse was practical and profitable. In
the unfinished state of the Baptist Church,
no ser ice was had.
At 8 o'clock, temperance discourse was
given at the new church in n. Kingsville,
by the Rev. Mr.. Cummings. Much talk on
the subject of temperance was ELECTED.
The question of allowing beer saloon to
exist in our midst, causes comment in all
circles. Our people seem determined to test
the legality of the business. Mr.. Cum
ming's address was sound, earnest and
practical in its advice to the young. The
attendance was good, and the unfinished
house eOmmodious, and when finished will
be valuable institution of the north burg.
Mr.. Cummings labors are regular and
earnest. The Sunday -shool is well attend
ed, and with the assistance of Callow, viii
Strong, Ira Holden, Geo. Lyon, telegraph
operator Wsggoner, &C., our faith is strong
in the success of their labors.
Wells and cisterns are going dry, and
there is an anxious watching of the clouds

will be an improvement in returns, to that

wi.hdrawaI orJudge Canneld,

In presenting the withdrawal of Judge
Garfield to the Republican Judicial Con-
vention at Painsville, ]. O. CONVERGE, of
Geauga, said:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
CoNVENTIoN:-It was my privilege, in the
Convention of last year, to announce the
name of the Hon. D. W. Garfield, of Geau-
ga, as a candidate for Judge of Common
Pleas for the short term. The result you
all know. 1t may not become me, here and
now, to say with what success he has dis
charged the duties Of that office; but l
trust you will pardon the suggestion, natu-
raj under the circumstances, that it is a
source of congratulation to his friends at
least that, by the ability and impartiality
with which he had borne himself on the
bench, he had, in the space of one short
year, so far out-lived all the asperity of the
past that, until within one or two weeks
since, it was conceded by all that he would
be renominated and elected without oppo-
sition. And now, in behalf of Judge Can
field himself, and of the vast number of cit
liens Of the District who, knowing him,
have undiminished confidence in his integ-
rity, desire to read the following an
nouncement:
Chardon, Ohio, Aug. Both. 1875
Gentlemen of the Republican Judicial Con-
vention:
Being prevented by my continued illness
from meeting with you, I avail myself of
this method Of announcing to you my de-
termination.
Appreciating as I do the claims of the
high office conferred upon me one year ago,
and in which I have endeavored faithfully
to discharge my duty, concious Of my in
tegrity, and trusting to the future to vim
dieate me fully, yet most Of all desirous
that no act or omission of mine should
embarrass my friends, to whom I am under
such lasting obligations for their unwaver-
ing confidence and support, or imperil the
Republican cause, whose success is above
all considerations personal to myself,
withdraw my name as candidate before
the Convention.
Very respectfully yours,
D. W. CANFIELD.
