Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1877-06-15

The jefferson GdzeHe came last week
with fine colored map Of the war in Eu-
rope.
Attention is called to article on the
first page and the fine portrait Of the late
Chas. Collins. which is copied from the
PEreHologieal journal.
The fast train just put upon the L. s.

at in New York al : p. M, and making the

the previous fast train by over four hours
The time Of this train in the foregoing |
article is made up from the schedule 1ur-
nished by the L. S. & NJ. 5. agent at this
place. but we doubt if it is correct.
Some kind friend. in our absence, has
removed from our sanctum walls portrait
of Francis Murphy. We supposed the
Murphy reform, when genuine and COM
plete. reached petit larceny as well as the
brain befuddied with whisky. The erring
and fallen, from the force of the bibulous
appetite, are tenderly and carefully lifted
and put upon the better way again, but
the treatment of the thief seems to call for
the aid of the marshal and the use of pains
and penalties.
The entertainment at the hall of the
Temperance Union on Saturday evening,
we apprehend will be of some interest to
the especially the temperance
portion of it, A pathological considera-
ton Of the subject of intemperanee. aided
by sciopticOn views, will no doubt afford
many strong arguments against indulgence
in intemperanee. If the views are correct,
and that they are we have no reason to
doubt, the arguments will come with the
power of demonstration.
-"Seventeen Seventy-six' and other
Poems, by our Orwell friend, Prof. Fl. Q.
johnson, has come to hand, from the press |
OF Brooks, Schinkel & Co.. Cleveland, and |
is one Of the neatest volumes we have had |
the pleasure OF adding to our library. 1t |
is in brown and gilt, on stout, tinted paper, |
with ample margins, and open, loaded |
page. We have published several of the |
poems, and our readers are acquainted !
with the style and train of thought of the !
author. The collection is distinguished
for its sentiment, humor and general rythm
and versifcation, and we doubt not it will
find numerous admirers, and free and
full sale-as it deserves.
The deaeon-skin business is not one of
small proportions. Purchasers traverse
the country as numerous as the drummers
of the city of New York. Wilcox Sons
have regiment out, running through all
the counties Of this corner of the State.
The very chiefest of these is our neighbor,
Ward Smith, who has already brought in
1,5OO, and will probably run the number
up to 1900 before the close of the season. |
In estimating the number picked up in
this county, he puts it at from 10. to 20
thousand. This, however, is but an ap-
pIOximstion to the fact, butt shows some
thing of the destruction carried on in the
race Of iucipient bovines. What a work of
destruction to contemplate, when we null
tiply the number given by the several coun-
ties of the State.
Orwell has become the residence of
another good citizen in the person of the
new landlord of the Orwell House-Dr. ].
F. Slough. He has not only bought the
hotel property, but is fitting it up and rem
ovating it, and making it comfortable
stopping place for the traveller. Being a
practicing physician, he has also opened,
on the premises, a drug store, and is fitting
1t up in pleasant and attractive way. He
informs US that practice, more than equal
to his expectation, is already opening up.
With such household deity as the TELE-
GRAPH, with which he starts of, success is j.
assured. The house has been re-christen-
ed-''City Hotel" and q grand opening
will take place on the evening of Wednes-
day, July 4th. Orwell now has two good
landlords. Our friend Stone, in the gene
rosity of his nature. welcomes his eompeti-
tor. and gives him the right hand of fellow
ship.
Farmers or Others using grass seed,
cannot be zoo careful about the selection of
their seed and the quarter it comes from.
Seed from the Eastern States to large ex-
tent has mixture of daisy, which when it
once gets foOthold can no more be got
rid of than original sin, and is one of the
greatest pests-only second to the thistle,
perhaps the farmer has to contend
with. While at Rock Creek the other day.
we noticed several spots in the large and
handsome door-yard of one of our friends
of that place, that came with the seed from
Massachusetts. Fortunately, he fully un-
derstands their character, and was only
waiting for the most favorable stage to go
for them with Observation-Disclosures
hostility. Though this county and perhaps
State is comparatively free from the pest,
yet there are scattering fields where they
have taken permanent and ineradicable
hold, and defy all attempts to remove
them, and will remain to the end of tim e.
a vexation and nuisance to the farmer and
the community.
