p. c. Carpenter Of Orwell. of whom
mention was made in the TELEGRAPH OF
June 2S, as being indiSpo,ed, was, on SAT
urday last. removed to the asyinm at New
burgh. His case is a particularly painful
one. A most genial man-his friends can
now remember many occurrences OF the
nsst few months. looked upon at the time
AS mere burst of frnlic and fun, or other
wise than being the effect OF alteration of
mind. No one thought of insanity in his
case until June 2Sth; since then, until his
removal to the asylum he has required the
constant care Of several men. The case has
excited the hveliest sympathies Of the com
Inunity for himself and family-a wife and
two children.

tute a complete success. Do not forget

We give elsewhere the responses OF
two of our farmer friends. to our call last
week for information, as TO curing hay,
that the dust, sometimes, so troublesome
and unwholesome. may be avoided. That
from our Sheffield friend may touch the
point, if timothy hay be cut and cured in
the blow. Yet we hardly think full weight
can be given to this as the cause, for it
seems to US the dust is often times too fine
and almost impalpable to come from the
bloom. In the case cited by us the bloom
was of, as the seed was ripeenough to shell
freely, in the NOW. As to the dew being
on, there seems to be little in that. Lay
ingthe evil to the charge of the wire rake,
appears to carry considerable probability
with it, and looks as if entitled to some
credit. But we shall still be glad to hear
from others.
Rev. S. D. Peet, of this place, has
been ransacking the Historical Society
rooms at Cleveland, preparatory to writing
a book on the history Of Ashtabula cOun-
ty. He came upon new-oId thing under
the sun. This was a collection of early
maps Of the West-the finest collection on
the subject in theworld. Mr.. Peet's expe-
rience in such matters led him to appreci-
ate the value of the treasure, and he at
once prepared an article which will first be
published in three numbers of the Cleve-
land Leader and afterwards in pamphlet
form. There are several points in refer
enee to the early discovery of the interior
of this continent which have been the sub
ject of much investigation among scholars
in this country and Europe. Last year
Congress appropriated $40, 900 for the pub
lication of the Morgery papers. In these
old maps, however, new source Of evil
dence has been discovered, and for this
reason it has been thought best to publish
a pamphlet for distribution.
