The DEDICATION OF THE NEW CHHRCH AT
AUsTINBURG, was an interesting event with
US, and it passed off very pleasantly. The
edifice was filled to its utmost capacity at
the appointed hour The platform which
is half circle, in the center of which the
the pulpit, was filled with ministers of var
ious denominations, who were to assist in
the ceremonies After the opening services
were concluded, Rev. Rollin Sawyer made
short address, in which he brought to re-
membrance, many of those who lived years
ago, and who had left on record that they
were bible believers, church goers, and
Sabbath loving people. Some of these
names are engraved on the marble slabs
used as window sills, placed there by some
of their descendants who still remain here.
After another song came Rev. I. K. Beech
er. His subject was 'The obscure and low
| ly parentage of Christ" On the circum-
stances of his birth. and his labor
in manhood as a mechanic, he dwelt
for some time, and then contrasted it with
the power and and influence his name is
exerting all over the world His lecture
in the evening was too theatrical. N.
From the Conneaut Reporter.
The light which was seen on Friday even
ing, was caused bs the burning of Mr.. Van
Sykes barn in Sheffield, it having been
struck by lightning.
Kelsey's nag, "Little Jake" came in
second in the 2 80 race, at Cleveland, tax
ing the second prize of $40O. Twelve
horses were engaged in the race.
A number of the engineers who have
been prominent in the late strike have been
discharged. Sixteen is the number dis
charged on the Buffalo and Cleveland Di
visions.
We are informed that Mr.. S. T. Fickin-
ger, of Monroe, has disposed of his bay
flly, ''Rose of Allendale," to a sport of
Ashtabula for the snug sum of 500, but
he took a $645 pony in part pay.
By order of Commodore Vanderbilt, the
pay of all employees upon the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern railroad, whose
pay amounts to less than So, 900 per annum,
has been raised five per cent.
Mr.. VIM. R. Stewart of Kingsville, on
Thursday evening, had quite serious fall
| in his barn He went up overhead and
| tell throuh the scaffold to the floor, strik-
ing on the side of his head. He was picked
up insensible, and for some time his re-
covery was considered doubtful, but we
learn he is out of danger.
For the first time within our recollection,
during the present campaign two of our out
and out party journals-the Ashtabula
Telegraph and the Geneva ItDseS-opposed
the election of the regular nominees of the
County Convention, the first opposing Mr..
Thorp, and the last Mr.. Wright for Infrm-
ary Director and so we had three Republi-
can tickets in the feld-a straight and Two
mongrels-the last two receiving but lit
tie support in this township, especially the
| Doel ticket.
