CONNEAUT.

Eds. Tsl.-Newton Burlington, one Of
the most esteemed citizens Of Connesdt,
died on Tuesday morning, aged about 20
years. Mr.. B., until the last year, when
his health failed, for many years was en-
trusted with the superintendency of the
government expenditures for harbor im-
prcvements along the lake, and his ability
and fidelity to those trusts, endeared him
to all with whom he held business rela-
tions.
The winter term of the public schools
closed last week, and the High school, over
which the Superintendent presided, in the
closing exercises. gave great satisfaction.
The news on Friday morning Of the COM
pletion of the final count and the official
declaration that Hayes was elected Presi-
dent created great joy throughout town,
and patriotic sold Steve" Hopkins rolled
out his anvil ordinance and fired several
rounds, while from every pole the stars
and stripes were floating, and from the
windows of nearly every business house,
flags were unfurled. It was gala day in
Conneaut. Monday evening was fixed for
parade of the Wide Awakes and other
demonstrations.
During the canvass last fall. two of our
citizens made wager over the result for
the Presidency, by which the winner was
to have a wheelbarrow ride from the vii
lage to East Conneaut and return. So
Monday, at p. m, was fixed for comply
ing with the terms of the wager. The par
ties were Giles Cleveland and Hale Batch
eldor-the latter won for Hayes. At the
appointed hour, Cleveland appeared with
the wheel barrow, deeked with flags, and a
full likeness of Hayes, a white charger in
front, and full band to lend its music to
the novel entertainment. Batcheldor was
on time, and taking his seat-adorned with
all the emblems conceivable for the occa-
sion-the band struck up the march and
the procession moved away, amid the
cheers and hurrahs of the many hundreds
who had gathered to attest their interest
in witnessing the fulflment of the wager
Down the hill, across the flats and up the
east hill, the party moved, followed by
hundreds in vehicles and on foot, and
turning around the liberty pole, the home
ward-bound trip began, followed by an in
creased number of spectators, and amid
the huzzss of many hundreds, and the en-
livening strains of the band, the starting
point was reached and the wager won and
generously paid.
In the evening following the Wide
Awakes were out and had fine display;
after which the Town Hall was crowded
where general congratulations were ex-
changed, impromptu speeches made, and
in fine, a joyous hour was spent over the
victory which has crowned the country.

Eds. Tel.-There is no little rejoicing
that the agony is over, and that R. B.
Hayes, our model Governor. is now the
chief magistrate of the United States.-
Democrats accept the situation with toler-
able meekness, and Republicans viii try
to stand it. Along after midnight on
Thursdsy-1st-there was a terrible con-
cussion, which started considerable glass,
in the neighborhood of the park. 1t was
rather taken for a. meteorological demon
stration, but the suspicion is that load
ed anvil might have had something to do
with it. The old flag, that had been laid
away soon after election, and was left to
its seclusion until after the adjournment
Of the commission, was again brought out
and made to do duty upon the old staff
where it had before proudly floated.
While we rejoice over our success with
Hayes, we don't go back on Grant he
goes into the history Of his country only to
add rev lustre to its bright pages; we ex-
pect no dimming Of th at lustre, in what of
history may be made by his successor.
Mr.. Jeremiah King passed his ssd birth

peated. With his absteminous and wisely
directed habits, the promise seems to be
his of several years more for similar gath

ORWELL.

Eds. IeL.-The new Presbyterian church
in this place, and which, by the way, is an
ornament to it, was dedicated on Saturday
last. The dedicatory sermon was deliver
ed by the Rev. Mr. McGiffert, of your
place. The building is plain and unpre-
tending, but noticeable for its good taste
and neatness of architectural style and
proportion. Its well modelled spire lifts
itself above the village. and becomes at
once to the approaching stranger an index
of the character and civilization of the
people-their morality and virture, as well
as their thrift and culture. In all its ap-
Pointments, within as well as without,
there is an agreeable fitness, and an air Of
chaste comfort, which seem to invite con-
temptation and devotion. The cost of the
building and furnishing will not vary
much from 81, 900, and the unpaid portion
of it is but nominal, and has been assumed
blythe ladies, as it is connected with the
furnishing. A very commendable liberali-
ty has been shown by the people in shoul-
dering the burdens of the enterprise, but
they are enabled to look upon the gratify-
ing success that has crowned their efforts,
and which must remain to them a source
of pleasure and substantial beneft-an in
dex to direct them in ways of peace and
virtue.

On the 2sth ult., the funeral of Mrs.
Horace Luce took place, after only five or
six days sickness. She died on the Sab
bath evening previous. In this sudden be
reavement, an infrm husband is left to
mourn the loss of faithful and tender
companion, and a son and daughter,
loving and devoted mother. A lively sym
pathy is felt by the community for the loss
by the family and friends.
The funeral was large, and IN the exer-

The 20 or so average attendance upon

Eds. Tel.-Rev. Mr.. Chafer has left for

Just over the line from Elmirs-as stated

Eds. 1el.-Please report meeting of
about two weeks continuance in East Will
Mansfield, held by Elder S. S. Bartlett of
Rock Greek, which resulted in no additions
directly, but what is of equally great, if
not greater Importance, that is, so clear
and forcible presentation of the gospel of
Christ and its connections, as to irresista-
bly, claim the attention and respect of the
reasoning power of the community. The
house was about full most of the time,
and the candid attention of the hearers en-
gagged. The people showed their apprecia-
tion of the truth, not only by their com
mendable conduct during the meetings,
but also by adding to his financial resourc-
es about $43, most of which was in cash.

otherwise-of the great city. was very

gather here for amusement and pleasure by
thousands. It's airy position between the

large area Of land and water, make it a
place for healthful as we'll as pleasant en-
ioyment. You would be struck with the
fine appearance and stature of the police
of this city. They carry order and securi-
ty in their appearance. Their duty re-
quires them to be on the alert both day
and night, and there are many parts Of the
city where it is a real comfort to meet
them in the night season, for it is in that
season that violence and assassination find
their more frequent occurrence. Only

number of arrests was 1920.

WARREN. O.


Eds Tsl.-The Murphy gospel temper
ance movement has reached this little city.
Two weeks ago this evening delegation
from New Castle, Pa, visited us and held
meetings in the City Hall, two evenings.
The hall was crowded to its utmost-all
classes present. Hundreds signed the
pledge; then our own young men took up
the work, and have pushed it with vigor
until the present time. There has been a
daily noon prayer meeting in the Young
Ladies' Reading Rooms, also a prayer
meeting in the City Hall every afternoon
at p. M, largely attended. The City
Hall has been packed every evening with
from 1000 to 1900, and sometimes large
number have been unable to gain admit
ance With few exceptions the talking
has been by the men who have just signed
the pledge; while the chief management is
in the hands Of young men whose refOrma-
ton and christian life does not date back
two years; but they are exerting ire
mendous power for good. Already the
pledges obtained must exceed 200, and
among them are some of the hardest drink
ers in the city.
Friday last the Republicans burnt pow
der and petroleum IN honor of Hayes and
Wheeler; but so far as heard from, all the
pledged boys passed the ordeal unscathed.
Neither the jogtuls nor the sOrrOaCfuls yield
ed to the peculiar temptations Of the hour.
II this movement can be held firmly to the
christian idea, and to the help of God, with
which it started, it will doubtless preve
the salvation of multitudes of drunkards
but if it is removed from that and degen-
crates to mere signing Of the pledge, then
its saying power will be gone, and it will
be nothing more than a repetition of the
old Washingtonian excitement, and most
of the hard drinkers will return to their
cups after the excitement subsidies.

Ashtabula is Just now being excited by
troupe Of Incorporate temperance advO-
Gates, who are entrapping the hard drink
ers to sign pledges that viii last as records
Of broken VOWS made under unnatural ex-
citemenL
The above paragraph is clipped from the
Cleveland Herald of Friday last. 1t seems
to be in the same vein with certain theo-
logical structures that appeared in the
same paper upon the memorial address Of
the Rev. Mr.. Peet. If the twain are not,
they are at least worthy of common pa
ternity. From the brusque and fippant
pertness with which New England theol-
ogy" and ''Ashtabula intemperate temper
ance trappings'' are disposed of, the thought
arises, that the Herald office is blessed with
chair of theology and moral philosophy,
filed by some eomplacent and precocious
young tyro, who boggles at no question in
ethics or philosophy, and bya simple dash
of the pen shows how little the opinions of
mankind are entitled to respect. As an
ornament to the Herald Office, such de-
partment may be all well enough, but in
the light of utility and policy, it may be a
little questionable. The Herald has here
tofore found many admirers and patrons
in this place, and managed with its usual
ability and good sense, may continue to
have. This kind of gratuitous insolence
and insult cast upon a large portion of our
best and most intelligent citizens, who are
engaged in this temperance movement,
may have the effect to provoke resentment,
and that character and standing may be
foOiishly compromised away. The para
graph in question has been brought to the
notice of two Of the largest assemblages we
have bad, and some spirit raised. Before
it shall take any definite direction, we
trust the responsible editor of the Herald
viii disown and reprobate these tricks of
the irresponsible whitlings of the establish
ment, and allsY the dissatisfaction that
has been so needlessly started.
A thousand signers of the pledge in less
than two weeks, is evidence that our people
are wonderfully in earnest, and that they
will probably be able to keep slong-if they
must-without the endorsement of the
Herald.
