citizens at a fair and moderate rate-prob-

One of our city cousins, under the i'm
preston that his health required lager.
procured a small keg and placed it in the
cellar. Proceeding to open it, he called
for cork-screw, and after a severe trial,
and the help of the internal pressure, he
drew the cork. The result was, he got
more of the beverage to the square inch
than he bargained for. 1t took him on the
forehead, threw his hat into the corner, and
blinded him so effectually that he could
hardly get his hand upon the hole; when
he did, a stream spurted from both sides,
with all the fury of a northeast gale. The
other hand was brought to the relief of
the first, when torrent gushed from be-
tween his fingers, and the angle of rehec-
tion brought in contact with his nose, and
he beat a retreat, the worst bespattered and
soaked and punished devotee of lager that
any one could wish to see.

A Fatal Accident.

Last Tuesday morning, as Mr.. Emory
Luce wss putting some vegetables from his
wagon aboard an express car on the Ash
tabula & Oil City R. R. at the L. S. & NJ.
S. depot, his horse took fright from an ap-
preaching tram and wheeling about, upset
the wagon, throwing Mr.. Luce violently to
the ground, striking upon his back. He
was Immediately taken to his home, where
he suffered severely until the next night
Wednesday-when death came to his re.
lief. He had been in a very weak condi-
tion for several months previous to the ac-
dent. His age was about 90 years, and he
leaves wife and family to mourn his
death.

Our Streets.

II there is anything about our village
that the citizens Of Ashtahula may fee
ashamed of it is the condition Of her prin'
eiple streets dnr.ng two thirds of each
wear. There is probably no town of this
size that has expended more money and
labor in hope of improving its streets, thai
has 50 little to show for it. There Is eX-
pended more money here in three months
for this purpose, than Painesville or any oI
our neighboring towns expend in year
Our Street Committee and Commissioner
undoubtedly have done all in their power to
remedy this trouble. but as result of their
Iabors look at Maine and Centre Streets to-
dav and Won will see mud from four TO six
inches deep as far as the eye can reach.
We NAV continually heap up gravel as
has been done on Main Street for the last
twenty years and the result will be the
same. There is but one thing that can be
done to overcome this sea of mud and that
is to put down substantial pavement. We
cannot expect to pave all of our principal
thOrOughfares at once, but Maine Street
should be paved within a year, and
we feel warranted in asserting that the
property-owners would be willing to bear
their share of the expense.
For a town the size of Ashtabula to have
such almost impossible streets is disgrace;
better not build new town house. number
the houses, or establish a market, until we
have our streets in such shape as will allow
us to enjoy such Improvements.

AUSTNHURG.

Eds. Tel.-0ur people who took shares
in the corn company lest spring, to raise
a fund for buying a heating furnace for
the church, held festival on the Sd inst.
800 was raised, though the weather was
not favorable for getting out large COM
pany. Supper was furnished, with corn in
every shape for the table.
The king and queen of the occasion were
Mr.. L. B. WoOlever and Mrs. Geo. Phelps,
in royal attire. A coronation address was
made by Mr.. L. P. Hodgeman, and song
and chOrus-compOsed by Rev. Mr.. Nut
ting-was sung. A band of juvenile Ital-
ian harpists and fiddlers, improvised for the
occasion-made much merriment. Their
pantOmime aeeompaniments of cornStalk
music were Provokingly mirthful.
Prof. Hopkins, daughter and two sons,
gave an entertainment with violins and
viol that was highly appreciated.
Every member of the corn company who
brought in one or more bushels of corn,
was entitled to a eorn-colored badge of free
admission.
The gathering was at the brick hall built
by Capt. Austin-nOw used as town hall.
The rooms, both above and below, were
comfortably filled, and the heap of corn
attested to the fruitfulness of the season,
and faithfuIness and intelligence of the
cultivatOrs.
Something like $1SOO-the lack of points
in the figures leaves us to our inferences-
is needed before the church can be dedi-
Gated.
The entire vote of this town was greater
by four than that polled in 1910, and the
greatest ever polled.
Mr.. Chester Loomis, the oldest voter in
Austinburg-aged 9615 years-being too
infrm to get upstairs to the polls, was car
ried up by Mr.. B. Seeley, and cast vote
for Hayes and Wheeler Born during the
struggle for independence, this venerable
citizen was cotemporary with the Washing
ton administration, and has voted for near
ly every President since. He has witness
ed this great State transformed from a
bowling wilderness, to first of the new
States-the additions Of the original thir-
teen-and casting her % electoral votes.
He wished to vote the more especially, this
centennial year, though he should die be-
fore the day closed. All honor to our cen
tennial citizen. IRIS.

A class of young men are said to be gain
ing an unenviable notoriety by visiting the
different churches on Sabbath evenings, re-
fusing to be seated, and occupying the
standing room in the entry, obstructing the
passage of those who attend church for a
better purpose, or perhaps taking back
seats, and after commencement of service,
making disturbance by passing out.

DEMOCRATIC DESPERATION
Extraordinary Proclamation.

The following proclamation extraordina-
ry was issued by John G. Thompson, and
bulletined in front of the Democratic head
quarters in Columbus, on the evening of
the 18th inst.
The claim of leading Republican news
papers and committees to the effect that
Hayes is elected is without foundation, and
a conspiracy to usurp the Government. 1t
is anarchy. It's revolution. 1t is the des-
peration of desperate men. 1t will all fall.
The people have declared by their ballots
that Tilden is elected President by 203 cleo
toral votes, and by majority Of 400, 900 OF
the popular vote, and they will see to it
that their voice, expressed at the ballot box,
shall be respected. Be patient and await
the retributive justice that will surely fail
on the heads of the men who are advising
the conspiracy to break up this Republic.

The action of the Louisiana Returning
Board in opening its doors to five of the
Northern visitors of either party removes
another of the pretexts on which it has
been condemned. It was at the instance OF
the much-abused Gov. Kellogg that the
idea of personal visitation on the part OF
Northern men was first entertained; and
the board has shown the same confidence in
the legality and justice of its course which
he expressed. Now let the board prevent
further loss of time, and an indefinite
amount of squabbling, by refusing to argue
questions of jurisdiction or practice with
every hair-splitter whom the Democrats
choose to put forward in their behalf. The
board wisely acquiesees in the presence OF
observers, as guarantee against lmputa-
tions which any attempt at absolute secrecy
would entail; but 1t will be very unwlse II
it tolerate interference with the exercise OF
its functions, or listen to windy arguments
