A letter and map Of our Harbor and
piers was sometime since sent by Major
Hubbard to Mr.. Garfield, which were ne
ferred to Gen. Humphrey, Chief Of Engi-
neers which drew from him the views OF
Col. Blunt, that with the peculiar action OF
the lake at the mouth of the harbor, it is
ouite uncertain whether both Of the piers
will not eventually require extension; and
further adds If no additional apprOpria-
ton is made for Ashtabula at the next ses-
sion of Congress. the small sum appropria-
ted at the last session-$5, ,OOO-can. be
advantageously expended next season. only
in keeping the bar down by dredging from
time to time. The pier extension which
that sum would build, would be of little
use in its effects on the bar"
Should an extra session Of Congress be
called we shall probably get a River and
Harbor Bill and an appropriation may
probably then be looked for.

Decoration Day.

We are pleased to know that our militia
ry companies are making arrangements for
appropriate observance of Decoration Day.
This very appropriate custom of strewlng
flowers over the graves of our dead heroes,
has never been observed In Ashta6ula, al
though there are about twenty-five inter
red in Chestnut Grove Cemetery, and near
ly as many in Edgewood Cemetery
Our military companies have appointed
committees to carry out the arrangements,
but the assistance of the citizens will be
called for.
1t is proposed to visit both cemeteries on
that day.
Quite large number of the teachers of
our county were present at the meeting of
the Ashtabula Co. Teachers Association,
held In the High school room in this vii
lage on Saturday, the 10th inst. The ses-
sion was one of deep interest, and We
think, of profit to all.
Miss Cole of Kingsville, read paper on
Teaching Geography, which one could
not but think was not all theory, but had
been put to the test of actual practice.
Miss Rea's essay on the power of the
viii, showed that the writer was well ae-
quainted with her subject. and that she
had studied the human will in connection
with her business of teaching.
Prof. Tuckerman gave familiar talk on
the subject of ''The Gentleman as Teach
Ell" which was listened to with close at
tention. He fully established the claim,
that no man who was not a gentleman was
fit to have the training of our youth; that
no man could be gentleman. unless ae-
tuated by the true christian principles.
A. L. Arner, of jefferson, read an essay
on "Specialities, which he was asked to
have printed in one of our county papers,
that it might be discussed at the next meet
ing which will be held on the second Sat
urdsy in May, when it is expected that the
entertainment viii be especially rich and
instructive. Ali the teachers in the county
and as many others as can, are earnestly
invited to be present and enjoy the good
things. J.

presence here in Ashtabula on the day that
will be announced by the President as De-

so nobly went forward to battle for our
country's life and honor. Comrades let us
ever remember their magnificent bravery
on many hard fought field, their great
endurance while on the march, their pa

and blessings we now enjoy, they gave their

OF our bravest boys to purchase it. The
graves Of these fallen heroes grateful ma

cherish and honor their memories and
place upon each Of their graves some beau.
tiIul flowers. They will fade and pass
away, but the love and esteem that we hold
for our fallen comrades shall last until we
are called topay that debt that All must
settle. Corporal, E. II. Frazer

MORGAN,

The temperance work was inaugurated
in this place on Monday evening by de-
putation from Ashtsbula, consisting of the
following gentiemen-Mr. Prosser, Rev. J.
n. McGifert, W. h. Hubbard, ESQ.,, Geo.
W. Waite, and as a sort Of make-wait, the
editor of the TELEGRAPH. They took the
5:45 freight train, and reached the town
hall somewhere about o'clock, where the
people were in waiting filling the whole
house. As soon as an instrument could be
got and arrangements made for music, the
exercises began-in the usual way-with
song, reading the Scriptures and prayer.
The programme that was adopted, and has
been followed in Ashtabula was explained,
in his usually clear and graphic manner,
by Mr. Prosser, to which close attention
was paid. He was followed by Rev. Mr..
McGifert in a short address in the way of
appeal, in his usually direct manner;
Capt. T. E. Hoyt, followed whose style
is plain, concise and forcible. VIM. d.
Hubbard, ESQ.,, closed up in style of ell
ocution that might justly be considered as
combining both grace and power. These
addresses had been interspersed with songs
from the Bliss and Sankey collection, sung
by an impromptu choir gathered on the
spot by Mr. Waite-embracing however,
a number of fine voices. These songs have
powerfully subduing and sweetening ef-
feet, and bring into exercise the best quail
tiles of the heart. "Hold the Fort" was
then called for, and the people invited to
come forward to the table and sign the
pledge, and the audience seemed to move
as one person, and the crowd was such
that several pens had to be put to use to
meet the emergency. But 150 pledges
were brought along, and these were soon
used up, and many names taken, for
whom pledges were to be given the follow
ing evening. Such happiness as was visi-
Bile upon almost every face, was little too
much fer composure of feeling or dryness
of the eyes. A prayer meeting at noon the
next day, and another mass meeting on the
next evening, were appointed, and the au-
dience broke up, taking the visitors With
them to their homes.
On Tuesday evening, another delegation
was sent, consisting of Rev. Mr.. Stafford Of
the Congregational church, Mr.. Pettibone,
Mr.. Dick, and Mr.. Waite as chorister. The
hall was better filled than the evening be-
fore-crowded, as we learn-and every
thing went off to the satisfaction of all,
and at the close 100 pledges were taken.
Our Morgan friends feeling-in all its
force-the novelty of their position, and
too timid, withall, TO undertake the man
agement of such a responsibility, besought
our friends not to leave them yet, and an
other delegation went down on Wednesday
evening, when 70 more signatures were
obtained. By this time the number has
undoubtedly reached 400.

make our people little careless.

The Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph Co.
reduced their rates, March 4th, to any of
Eheir offices within five hundred miles to
% cents; to any point more than five hun
dred miles, and east Of the Missouri river,
50 cents. Half-rate messages are discon-
tinued, but twenty words can be sent in
the evening, for the next morning delivery
at the price of ten words in day time. At
this low rate it is expected that business

this place he has beena man ofinfiuence and
activity in the church. For several years he
held the position of church clerk; for many
years he has been deacon in the church. and
since the reunion of the two Presbyterian
bodies, he has held the position Of elder.
Twice he was elected as commissioner to the
General assembly ofthe Presbyterian church
He has always been a regular attendant up
on the Preaching of the Gospel Indeed peO-
pie as much expected to see him at church as
the minister. He was always present at the
special meetings, also, until the inhrmities
ofage kept him at home. In these meetings
he was always ready to take up his cross and
bear testimony to the love of Christ In these
exercises he manifested deep interest and a
zoad knowledge Of the Scriptures and a wide
experience in the doctrines of christianity.
For about twenty years he was colpOrteur
oftbe American Tract Soe'y. AS a result of
this work he became quite widely known
throughout this and adjoining counties, and
he gathered an experience which many
minister would be glad of possessing. How
much preaching of Christ he has done ana
how many souls have been saved through
these labors, eternity alone can reveal mus
he was ever active in trying to build up
Christ's cause in this region.
But not alone do we find interested In the
cause of religion, but he was also identified in
the secular interests of the town. Besides
holding places Of trust here, in the year 1888
he was sent as representative from this coun-
tv to the legislature. Deacon Chester has al
ways been a very active man. Whatever
duty devolved upon him he performed it as
faithfully as he knew how. He was system
attic. and strict in business affairs.
He has lived to see three generations of his own
descendants. He has living at present, thirty
four grandchildren and thirty-seven great-grand-
children these with his own children makes his
immediate descendants to number seventy-six.
Many of his descendants like himself, have CIV

his hope to the last His prayer was that patience

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord
from henceforth, yea. saith the Spirit. that they
may rest from their labors, and their works dc
