The Wentworth Pump establishment
has been removed from the old Hall store
one door further south, where that unequal
ed Torrent Force Pump may be obtained.
Mr.. George W. Dickinson is about put
ting one of these pumps into the cellar of
his establishment, for supplying the boil
er for heating his store by steam. The
store made vacant by Mr.. Wentworth is
to be occupied by BREEDER the baker, who is
to carry on his business as usual, in these
new quarters.
Freight business on our southern
roads is uncommonly lively just at pres
ent. On the Oil City road the rolling
stock is kept in constant motion moving
oil, coal and iron ore, which gives very lit
tie if any sleep to the train men. On the
Ashtabula, Youngstown & Pittsburgh
road from two to four extra frieghts are
run each day and the amount of ore car
ried south averages about 1900 tons per
day. Passenger traffic is not at present
on the increase.
The Conneaut Paper Mill seems DOOM
ed to mutations and changes of proprietor
ships. 1t has no more claim to steadiness
than our rolling mill, and is probably
about as profitable in its returns. Mayor
S. ]. Smith has just been buying out some
of the stockholders, and is negotiating with
others for their stock, and the prospect is
that he means to have controlling inter
est, at least. "Jite" will bring a return out
of it, if the thing is practicable, and the
citizens may congratulate themselves that
it is fallinginto so good hands.
-Fichnger's range of work embraces the
lighter kinds of track vehicles, such as sui
kies, and skeleton wagons. Mr.. Dienst,
appears on the track with one of the latter
of great lightness, and finished done upon
the wood. Another of the same kind was
completed the fore part of the week and
shipped to Erie for the State Fair-now
open there. Its weight was 81 pounds
without shafts 50 pounds. Almost every
thing composing an elegant turn out-ve-
hicle, harness and whip, and if you wish
the anamile to do the pulling can be had at
this establishment. He is contributing
his share to build up the carriage trade of
Ashtabuls. Our citizens are not so much
in the habit of sending out of town for fine
work as they used to be.
An accident occurred to our friend K.
Mckenzie, on Tuesday last while coming
from the Harbor in his buggy accompanied
by capt. Martin Wright. He was followed
at speed faster than he cared to drive, by
Norman Kncx, of Saybrook, and fearing
from the rather reckless manner of his
driving that his head might not be quite
level, and that there was good chance of
being run into, he refined up to the side
of the road and stopped. His fears were
fully realized. for as Knox came up he
locked into his wheel with such force as to
slew the buggy round and threw both
I
Messrs. Mckenzie and Wright out-the
first striking upon his head, and making a
severe abrasure, and stunning him by. the
conclusion. He was, however, enabled to
reach home in his disabled vehicle. and
procured the attendance of DR.. King. The
escape from breaking of the neck or a
fracture of the skull, was somewhat for
unate.
Some of our friends in Orwell send US
a remonstranee, signed by "a of the citi-
zens of that township against supporting
Mr.. Freeman Thorp for the Office of Repre-
sentative, and giving substantial reasons
therefore. The paper is intended for pub
licatiOn. 1t is not printed however for the
reason, that though the dissatisfaction
with the nominee is more or less general
through the county, no steps have been
taken to bring out an opposition candi-
date, upon whom to concentrate that oppc-
sition. To scatter the strength of the par
ty therefore under such circumstances,
would hardly be justifcable, we have no
doubt that Thorp will vote straight and
perhaps his attention has been sufficiently
fixed upon his weakness to make him care
full about compromising his constituents
before the legislature and State. We
therefore take leave of him in something
OF the generous spirit that actuated Uncle
Toby with the fiy-'Go poor devil, the
world is wide enough for us boih.".
