of the State Militia on this occasion, and
that strict military discipline will be re-
quired. The Madison company is to march
to Ashtabula where it will be Joined by the
Artillery and Light Guards, and the march
continued to Conneaut. This marching
business will suit the Artillery, but we are
of the opinion the infantry boys would IA

thirty miles over these sandy ridge roads

The present condition of the iron and
ore industries in the valley traversed by

fore stated, to $33, 3S9 u, there is due
WIN. McCreery, Esq, late President of
this Company, on Judgment obtained by
him for the balance of his claim for ser
vices as President, the sum of S13, S26 90,
being the balance, with interest, of his
claim for four years service, originally
amounting to $50, 200 90, which was al
lowed by the Board rather than contest
the matter at law, and which Judgment the
Company is now wholly without funds to
pay.
Mr.: McCreery sought to make his judg-
ment by levy on the dredge and tele-
graph line of the Company, but the Court
decided that those properties were subject
TO the mortgages, and could not, therefore,
be sold for execution.
The earnings of your road will undOubt-
edly be materially increased upon the re-
vival Of business, particularly in the coal
and iron interests, but your Board is una
BILE to see any indications warranting an
assurance on their part of immediate or
early benefit from this source.

towns handsome compliment for their
zeal and energy in managing their own

The much needed rain has begun to fall,

Graduating Exercises.

The anniversary exercises Of the grad
uating class of the High School, took place
at the Opera House, on Wednesday evening
last. The house was packed in every part,
and the exercises were of a meritorious char
acter, throughout. The class numbered
six-Arthur C. McGiffert, A. Earnest
Strong, Misses Mary Ford, Minnie Lewis,
Mary Richards and Fanny Seymour. Ora
tions were delivered by each of the young
gentlemen, and essays by each of the young
ladies. They were so uniformly good, that
no room is left for discrimination. A quiet
self-possession marked the bearing of all,
showing discipline of mind, and perfect
familiarity with their subjects. The era
tions were of considerable length and given
from memory, with little or no hesitation or
halting. Music was interspersed, lifting
the audience from any thing like tedium.
Mr.. McGiffert took the closing
ry exercises, and the address TO the class
was given by Prof. Clemens. As the class
was at the rear of the stage, and the face of
the speaker was turned towards them, the
audience had but little benefit from this
performance. 1t is said to have been well
conceived by those who were close enough
to hear it, but it was thought to have been
unduly long. The deplomas were present.

woman's Temperance League.

The annual meeting Of the Woman's
Ashtabula Co. Temperance League was
held in Temperance Hall, Ashtabula, May
Goth. As the President was absent, the
meeting was called to order by the secreta-
ry, and after the usual religious exercises,
Mrs. J. c. Sullivan of Geneva, 10y the vote
of the society was invited to preside. In
response to the call for reports from dele
gates, Mrs. Morrison gave very encour-
aging report from Ashtabula. The late
temperance movement had been very
great blessing, to both the village and har-
bpr; a fine hall had been fitted up at the
latter place, and the work among the
young was wonderful; at that date 1893
had signed the pledge. 1t is true, many
temperance people had signed. but the
work among the Incorporate, and those
lending that way, seemed thorough and
lasting. Mrs. Eames also added to the re-
port;sshdtthe great underlying strength of
this movement was the dependence upon
God, that so many seem to feel.
The report by Mrs. Bonney of Conneaut,
was also encouraging. The ladies there
had formed a league, and established a
prayer meeting, and the Murphy movement
coming to aid the cause, had been a sue
cess-1, 900 had signed the pledge. Mrs.
Cleveland also gave us some interesting in
cidenIs. Mrs. Cowles of Geneva, reported
that the league there had, wisely, at their
meetings, resolved to aid the poor, espeei-
ally remembering those who were suffer
ing from the effects of strong drink; they
had fitted up children for Sabbath school,
and like the widows cruise of oil, their sup
plies had held out wonderfully, and they
had found this good way to reach the
heart. The weekly league prayer meetings
had been kept up faithfully. The Murphy
work had also been successful-S00 or 1000
had taken the pledge, and who will say it
was not IN answer to the prayers Of His
people? Mrs, Sullivan also gave eneour-
aging incidents. Lenox, and jefferson had
also been blessed with temperance revivals.
Mrs. Holt of Morgan, said the Ashtabula
workers had visited their place and set the
ball rolling, and the meetings had done
great good. We were sorry to hear that
the ladies had allowed their organization
to run down. Mrs. Fouts and Miss john
son of Saybrook, gave their reports, and
made some remarks of interest to all pres
ent. The motion to change the name Of
the league, after discussion, was lost. The
following officers were then elected for the
Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1877-06-15

The earnings show an increase over the
previous year of $14,009 90 or about 81
per cent, while the total expenses, includ-
ing rent of equipment, shows an increase
of 1921 40, making the increase in net
earnings $1O,1 As, or about 1424 per
cent.
The earnings showed much greater
and more satisfactory result during the
months of lake navigation last year, but
since January, 1877, the earnings have de-
creased, as eomparedwith the same months
of the previous year, so that the increase
for the year is much less than was antici-
pated.

freight carried in the respective years,
