As there is danger that many Repub-
hcan voters may neglect to register under
the provisions of the Registry law, We
would call special attention to this danger.
Realizing the Importance of this matter,
our Democratic organizers are vigilant and
active. No time is to be lost, as Friday Of
the present week-to-day-is the day for
registration, and our committee men and
workers should see that every Republican
voter who requires to be shall be registered
in compliance with law.
The passage of trains over the trestle
work for sustaining the track while
the iron bridge is put in place is effected
with commendable care and prudence.
This frame work embraces some los, 900
feet of timber. Which would seem to be
sufficient to impart the necessary strength
for security. The old bridge has been en-
tirely removed, and when We took view
of the premises on Saturday last, it had
the appearance of readiness for putting
the new structure in place.
The weather approaches perfection.
The humid atmosphere with an occasional
drizzle, and the coqueting sunshine and
genial warmth, are just what is needed for
successful rounding out of the season,
and maturity of the fall crops, and the
bringing forth of the early sown wheat,
and crowning the meadows and pastures
with luxuriance-the one for protection
and the other for giving to stock the bet
ter condition for darying purposes, and
strong and satisfactory wintering.
The saw mill at the corners, in the
Harris neighborhood, Saybrook, belonging
to non resident by the name of Wade, and
under lease to Mr.. Hopkins, burned to the
ground, on Friday noon last. while Mr.. H.

dinner. The fire was discovered but the
flames were so rapid as to forbid the hope
of saving it. Some $500 worth of lumber
and other personal property belonging to
Mr.. Hopkins was destroyed severe loss
to an Industrious poor man. No insurance.
An effort is being made to have Francis
Murphy deliver lecture here at an early
day.

The Ashtabula Store speaks for itself
this week., in new adv. These semi-oc-
casiOnal bulletins generally produce a SEN
sation, and carry a thrill through the
hearts of all the ladies in the county.
When they appear, those dear creatures
hardly take long breath until they go
through from the top to the bottom, and
nearly every sentence, especially where the
prices are given, brings out an ejaculation
or interjection. The fact is, the Junior of
the Smith firm, who draws up these papers,
throws so much magnetism into them, ac-
counts for all this thrilling business, and
brings such returns to the establishment.
Well, he is a genius in almost everything,
and that he should commend himself to
the favor of the ladies, is nothing to cal
for surprise.
The sight of our Harbor nowadays,
shows the shape lake commerce has taken.
1t is filled with propeIlers of the largest
class, or their cOnsOrts, sail vessels, of
greater carrying capacity than these huge
monsters themselves. We counted. the
other day, some nine or ten of these mon
