Ed. Tsl.-The dry weather and the short
crops furnish topic for considerable dis
cussion, and the ''oldest inhabitant" never
seen its like. Save that of grass every
crop grown by our farmers viii prove a
short one. Here and there is field of
corn up to the average, bnt- the largest
proportion will prove deficient. As to
potatoes, so largely planted along the lake
shore, many of the fields are already be-
yond resuscitation.. while the palance can
hardly more than supply the home demand
this season.
The steamer Metropolis Monday morn
ing took several hundred passengers from
this harbor to Put-in-Bay, on an excursion,
and returned Wednesday morning. They
were mostly citizens of COnneaut, and all
speak of the trip as delightful one, and
the attentions of the officers of the boat,
and its Accommodations all that could
be expected and satisfactory.
Politics are finding Judgement in the
hearts of our Republicans, and they pro-
pose to open the campaign with mass
meeting next week. Be assured that Con-
neaut will give good account of itself next
November, and increase its vote so as to
give Gov. Hayes the promised 10000 major
ity in Ohio. HORACE.

Two of our SaybroOk boys were out

There will be social at the Town House
on Friday evening, Sept. 1st, under the au-
spices of the Womans' Temperance League
of this town. The business part of the
meeting viii be to form more perfect un-
ion of temperance people, and especially
the younger portion. The object is a nc
bic one, and should have the encourage
mert of moral and christian people. How
any member of christian church can op-
pose the cause of temperance, and refuse
to sign the pledge is mystery to us. and
vet the District Committee appointed to
canvass the town for signatures to the
pledge met with just such persons. Though
there is no place in town where liquor is
known to be sold, there are too many sa-
looms in the cities adjoining US for the
safety of our Young men. Hence the need
of throwing around them all the safeguards
of virtue and the moral power Of the pledge.
At little prayer meeting at Father
Hills one evening not long since, there
were nine persons present whose united
ages were six hundred and fifty years, av-
eraging little over seventy-two years to

THE DEPARTURE.
THE METROPOLIS

AT six o'clock, p. m. the Metropolis with
her passengers, started on her return trip.
The steamers Jay Cooke, Northwest, Pearl,
Chief Justice Waite and Gazelle had all de-
parted, taking with them thousands of ex-
cursionists.
The Metropolis arrived at Conneaut at
$50 the next morning -Wednesday-hav-
ing made the run of 1876 miles in 1215
hours. Here our Conneaut friends left us,
with many thanks to the kind officers Of
the Metropolis, and amid the deafening
cheers of all on board. The run to Ashta-
bula was made in one hour and five min
utes-a distance of 10 miles.
All the excursionists pronounce this oc-
easion the most enjoyable one that ever left
this place, the principal reason being no
rowdyism and drunkenness.
The steward of the boat, Mr.. John Head
ly, deserves more than passing notice for
his attention and many kind acts conferred
on the party.
Mr.. Edward Stoll acted as clerk, and fill
ed the Office to the satisfaction of all.
While at the Island, we noticed many of
the excursionists from this locality at the
Beebe House. This popular hotel is now,
as 1t always will be under the management
Oh Mr.. Henry Beebe, the most pleasant and
well Kept one on the Island.

plow in motion and plowed it under, while
his oats at this writing are still standing

More About the Lost Letter,.

Eds. 1el.-As there is some misappre-
hension in regard to the lost registered let
tiers mentioned in your last issue I will
give the leading facts for the benefit of all
interested:
The letters in question were registered ot
this office October 18th, 1872, one for Jef-
ferson, Ohio, said to contain $50; and the
other for Meadville, Pa, said to contain
$50, and as they never arrived at their des.
tination, tracers were sent over the route
tracing them as far as the Williams6s' 4
office; and as the East Williamsfel3 Office
had at that time just been established and
a postmaster appointed, hric he had not
been furnished with the necessary kew TO
unlock the pouch, consequently the mail
was made up at The Williamsfeld office 10
go directly onto the train, and an unlock
ed Pour.l also, to receive the East VIII
iarpsfeld mail; and as all trace of the,let-
Iers was lost between Williamsheld ard the
railroad, the facts were reported by-1ne to
the Post Office Department at Washington.

townsman, WIN. Dodge, and his venerable

former bids fair to win laurels as public

good music for the occasion. Owing to the
excellent arrangements of the committee
everything passed of pleasantly.

ter them, and after long time a thorough
investigation was made. But evidence suf-
icient to warrant any arrests could not be
found. and as the letters were supposed to
have gone onto the train. Route Agents
Stamford and Graham were required tn
produce the amount claimed to have been
enclosed in the letters, which they did, and
the same was paid January 10Th, 1874 to
the parties mailing the letters. Since then
all had remained quiet in regard to them
until the 18th inst, when the postmaster
at East Williamsfeld having larger
amount of mail matter TO send west than
usual, took down pouch that had been
hanging in his Office since about the time
of his appointment, to be used in case it
was needed, and finding 1t locked with
style Of lock that had gone out Of use some
two or three years since, and could not be
unlocked. But upon forcing the lock open,
in the pouch were found the registered let
ters above described, together with some 40
ordinary letters-alI the mail sent on that
day from The Lindenville, West Williams
field, and Williamsfield offices all in per-
feet order, just as it left the hands of the
Postmaster at Williamsfeld on the nth
day of October, 1872. The probabilities
are that, as there were two or three pouch
es in use there at the time, that the wrong
one was put upon the train, and this one
supposed to be empty-was left in the pos
session of the Postmasterat East Williams
field, and had not been used up to the time
of the discovery. 1t is fortunate circum-
stance that it has thus turned out, as it en-
tirely removes all suspicion Of eriminality
in the matter of those entrusted with the
carrying Of the mail on that day. The let
ters will be sent to Washington and dis
posed of in the proper manner.

The Warren Chronicle contains the fol-

locality to this harbor, and thence to Mag
ara:
The grand excursion from Youngstown
via the A., Y. s P. road and the lake to
Niagara Falls was, according to the ac-
counts Of the survivors, a grand swindle
The boat Erred Kelley was an open affair,
without a stateroom or sleeping apartment
Of any kind. The sea was almost danger
ously rough, and the party was forced to
put in at Buffalo Saturday night. They
left Buffalo at 4 o'clock Sunday morning
and did not reach the falls until nearly
noon. Leaving the Falls Sunday after
noon they had another siege of open boat,
where the worn out excursionists were
packed in dirty hold, upon canvas. The
trip was gotten up for cheap affair, and
the managers evidently run on that
principal, as more dissatisfied company
Of excursionists never came home to War

bricks streamer, but vote taken developed
