We ere indebted to the managers Of
the Ohio Editorial Association, for an in
Eiistion to attend, with the lady Of the
household, its annual meeting at Toledo,
on the 10th aud 21st inst We would like
to participate in some Of the gastronamie
pleasures of the occasion, as the bread that
perisheth is not over abundant at home.
Should streak Of financial luck overtake
us. perhaps it would be cheaper to 60 than
to STAY. and deal more luxurious.
MIR. and Mrs. Stephen Lockwood. of
Geneva, while crossing the L. S. road a
little east of the Grand River bridge, in
Painesville, on Wednesday afternoon last,
were run into by the Toledo Express, and
so seriously injured that they both died
soon after being taken to the Painesville
station. The horse was killed and the
buggy demolished. The deceased were
among the most estimable citizens Of Gene
va. It is reported that Mr.. /. was deaf.
A cute de4iee for getting at the time,
and the amount of interest upon any given
! sum. at various rates Of interest, hasabeen
laid before the citizens of Kingsville, as
well as a portion of the citizens of Ashta-
bula, by Mr.. W. R. Stewart of KIngsville.
1t is simple, ready, and accurate, and in
dispensible to business men and bankers,
and wherever shown, challenges favor and
approval. 1t is the design of Mr.. S. to
canvass this and other towns of the eoun-
ty, and we bespeak for him the favor OF
any he may call upon. Price 81.
The Restaurant Of Mr.. J. L. Leek at
the L. S. & NJ. S. depot, is about as much
of a convenience to the travelling public as
ANYTHING in that vicinity. For twenty
two wears has Mr.. L. kept this establish
ment and any one who has ever lunched
at his counter will never forget it. The
pleasant, neat and roomy building, fine
variety of nicely cooked food. and the
prompt and gentlemanly manner in which
all are waited upon, are only few of the
reasons why his establishment is so popular.
May he live to keep it Twenty-Five years
more.
Starkweather, of the Lake Shore,
brought to town on Saturday last some
sample stalks of field of corn on his
farm. 1t was of interest as showing the
destructivenesss of those little pests-the
grasshoppers. The stalks were rank and
strongly grown, and well cared, so far as
the cob was concerned, but the silk was
eaten off and small portion Of the tip Of
the ear, and on some of the cobs scarce a
kernel Of grain was seen, while others had
a small quantity of scattered grains. The
leaves, too, were partly eaten, and except
for fodder the crop was an entire failure.
W. C. Demming, ESQ, of New Lyme,
dropped courteously into the TELEGRAPH
den on Monday last, while on his way to
Saginaw for the purchase of lumber sup
plies for the yard at New Lyme Station.
Mr. D. and lady recently returned from a
summer sojourn at Minneapolis, place
that he speaks of very favorbly as enjoying
a high degree Of healthfulness in bust
ness as well as a physical way. We could
not but think, if we had such man as
| Judge Demming on our representative
ticket, the murmurs that are now heard
from different portions of the county
would be hushed, and a common sentiment
would prevade the electors of the county.
Our Orwell correspondent, week or
two ago, made an allusion to the butter
factory Of Mr.. J. R. Reeve, of Rome. Mr..
R. has laid us under some obligation for a
generous sample of the product of his fac
tory. A crock of butter, in these days of
scarcity, is matter of some account, any
way but a crock of such butter as that
made at this factory, is something not to
be met with, commonly, when grass hop
pers and drought are arrayed in opposi-
ton. The product of this factory, neatly
put up in pound packages, has found a
ready market at Pittsburgh, through the
season, at 25c pound. Our friends in
the south part of the county turn the Pitts
burgh markets to good account for the va
rious products of their farms.
The Painesville Journal has been one
of those nondescript things yclept an in
dependent newspaper. 1t had no afinities
for anything or anybody-cynical, self
eonceited, enjoying pharisaical superior
ity over everybody, sour, petulant, cap
tious, malignant and devllish, has taken a
departure most consonant to its feelings,
and gone over body and breeches to the
Democratic fold, and run up the Demo
cratic ticket. This it might have done
years ago, without surprise to itself or
readers. If it has now only chosen place
where it can be comfortable, and devote a
portion of its attention to the Cultivation
Of the qualities of social being, not yet
entirely devoid of the charities of life, we
bid it the heartiest kind of a god-speed.
| The Sabbath school picnic of the Pres
byterian church fell upon an unfavorable
day for out door pleasure, for Friday last
was the beginning of the fall rains-chilI
and sombre in all its aspects. The rain
did not come before the gathering of the
school in the morning, and though it set
in with considerable earnestness, it was
thought best, as the, train was in readiness
and the arrangements had been made, tc
give the little folks their anticipated ride
to Eagleville, and if the storm continued,
asst did, all day-they could empty theil
lunch baskets without leaving the cars.
This they did, and although somewhat
disappointed in being deprived of their
frolic in the grove, they accepted the stu
alton and were not unhappy.
The annual reunion of Battery c 1st
o. Light Artillery, was held at Geneva Oh
Tuesday last, and seems to have been q
very enjoyable occasion. The number
present was about fifty. Capt. Gary pre-.
