Almost every evening for the last
week from three to five cars loaded
with ship timbers from the east to San
Francisco have passed through on the
railroad. Some Of the timbers are so
long that three fiat cars are required
to bear them. These timbers are
intended to be used in rebuilding two
steamers each having length of 220
feet and capable of carrying two or
three thousand persons. The boats
were originally built at Green Point,
New York, and afterwards taken apart,
each piece being numbered, and
shipped by rail to San Francisco.
They will be rebuilt at the Portrero,
near San Francisco. Their owner is

Yesterday commercial agent or
drummer put in an appearance in

around among business men soliciting
orders TOR the San Francisco firm
which he represents. Deputy Sheriff
Burns hearing that such was the case,
interviewed him on the license qaes-

act passed by the last Legiglature on
that subject. The drummer refused to
take oat license aud the officers,
having, as they allege. proof that he
violated the Act, arrested him last
evening. He gave bail for his appear
ance at 10 A. NJ. to-day before Justice

The sman Pox nr Wnrns.


Editors Telegraph The first death in
Wayne from the dreaded small pox occur
red on Saturday last, and the body of the
victim was buried the following evening.
The death occurred in the family of Mr..
Frank Niles, being that of Mrs. Redner,
oldest daughter of Mr.. Niles. The disease
seems to be confined to six families, in
which there are or have been some twenty
three eases reported. A majority Of the
cases are now supposed to be out Of danger.
Every precaution has been taken to pre-
vent the spread of the disease, and most
schools, meetings, and public gatherings
avoided. Our only merchants, Messrs. S.
Jones & Son, transact business through
their window, and at the post-office no let
ters, etc., are to be mailed from any of the
infected people. DR.. ]. W. Graham, our
physician, has avoided no danger in attend
ing upon the sick, with no thoughts of fair
remuneration, and his description of the
sights that he daily witnesses are too terri
BILE to be described. All of the cases can
be traced directly to the residence of Mr..
l.. 81. Fobes, where many called to pay de-
hnquent taxes, for which he was a collec-
tor.
The body of Miss Hannah Marvin, a res
ident of Wayne, was buried at Williams
field last week. 1t is reported that she was
found dead in bed at Pittsburg. 1t was
probably a case of suicide.

Lindenville, Feb. 81, 1877.
March 1st.-Up to this time only one
death has occurred, and no new cases. All
are doing as well as can be expected. Some
are quite well, while some of the Niles fam
lily have not yet reached the worst, and one
that has heart disease is liable to drop of
at any time, but may recover. Niles is i'm
proving but is very low.

Ham1lton,s Circus.

Prof. E. Hamilton having sold out his
interest in the old show known as the "Pa-
eifc Combination, has organized a new
circus entirely, for this coming season of
1877, and complete new outfit. The show
is now in winter quarters at Windsor Mills,
Ohio, where it starts out in April and in
tends visiting our city-as Mr.. Hamilton
was here last week. Mr.. R. W. Scoville has
been engaged as leader of the brass band,
and has, as we have been informed, got
some leading musicians who, taken to-
gether as whole, will discourse fine bass
and orchestra music. Mr.. Knoll has also
been engaged, and we bespeak for Mr..
Hamilton warm reception when the time
comes for the tent to be pitched in Ashta-
bula. Alf. J. Bancroft is TO be 2d clown
Funny Phelps and Tony Richardson are
to run the concert.

It seems to us that it is about time our
Council passed an ordinance prohibiting
the erection of wooden buildings in the
business part of Main street. Every sea-
son there are several of these dangerous
fire-traps added, to swell the large number
that are now on this street. Main street
will surely be laid in ashes if this evil
is not checked, and it is only a wonder
that it has not been burned ere this. Be-
tween the North and South Parks, and for
at least 200 feet on the east and west sides
of this street not wooden building should
be permitted to be erected. Three times
during the past three weeks h as the same
building taken fire, and had any one Of
these occurred at night. instead of day as
they fortunately did, there is no telling the
amount of damage that would have result
ed. The Council are moving in the mat
ter, we are happy to say, of establishing a
board of fire wardens; but do not let the
good work stop here. As result of the
recent fires, it has been plainly shown that
the fire department are in great need of
several chemical fire extinguishers. The
expense Of three or four of these would be
very small sum, and would undoubtedly
save property enough in one year to more
than equal their expense.

Prof. A. L. Arner, Of jefferson, and an
other from Miss A. E. Cole, Of Kingsville.
Prof. Tuckerman will address tie associa-
tion on the subject Of ''The Gentleman as
a Teacher" It is expected that Prof. Alex
Forbes of Cleveland, will be present, and
participate in the exercises. These meet
ings are of great advantage to the teach
ers of this county, and their influence for
good is already felt in the principal schools.
We most earnestly desire to have larger
attendance at our March meeting; teach
ers from distance providing themselves
with lunch, will be given the use of a
pleasant room in which to eat it,

cultivated men of his profession. Since
the terrible calamity Of Dec. 29th, 1876, he
has been constant attendant night and

eeiYed at the hands of one of Natures no.

as near dying as man could and live
thanks to him, who during one whole night
stayed by me and brought me through the
crisis. Twenty other unfortunstes can tes-
tify TO the fact that the Doctor has a big
heart in the right place.
Thanks are also due to Mrs. L. B. San
born for opening her house to entire stran-
gers, and administering to their every
want with cheerfulness that illustrated
her acknowledged nobility of nature. In
fact such hospitality is very rarely met
with.
Thanks are also due and rendered to Mr.
and Mrs. Henry h. Perry for giving up
their suite Of rooms to us, and kindly do
ing everything in their power 70 make our
stay in Ashtabula one long to be remem-
bered by US with gratitude. Mr.. P. is one
of whom Connecticut may well be proud /;
a son of the Hon. o. Il. Perry, of South

Eds. TeI.-The rain, snow and sleet of
Saturday last made things about as sloppy
and disagreeable as they could be for two
or three days.
A visit to Fort Green, situated in Brook
lyn, on De Kalb avenue, near the North
River, has proven it lovely place Of sum-
mer resort. It is of large area, and elevat-
ed above the surrounding region. 1t is
heavily walled around with masonry, and
the entrance is by ponderous iron gates.
1t is with pleasant walks, and on
the top of the fort, or elevation, is embow-
cred with shrubbery and; furnished with
seats for the accommodation Of thousands,
who come here. to breathe the pure air from
the mighty ocean. The view from this
place is magnifcent-embracing the two
cities, and the surrounding country to the
extent of ones vision. One hundred years
ago it was battlefield, marked by the
evidences Of slaughter and destruction,
ard now hardly surpassed in landscape
beauty, local as well as surrounding and in
the blue distance.
Washington's birth-day-22d February
was observed here as a holiday. Business
places were nearly all closed; Higley's
commission house closed at II a. m. The
roar of heavy guns were heard on every
side, flags Haunted in countless numbers
from fag-staffs and from the shipping
along the wharves, and sweet music and hi
larity filed the balmy air, and the very
heavens, in the beauty of the day, seemed
to speak forth the gladness that filed ev=

burned each month by this lamp is multi

second one on that day. This also inter-
