the playing by both mines was excellent,
there being very few balls missed. and the
batting was quite strong. Smith of the

and in the field he was the champion fly

best man in either nine.
There were nearly one hundred specta-

shown throughout the game. Mr.. Chas.

Co., and added much to the appearance of
the occasion. Neptune Hose Co., No. 3,
carried at the head Of its column beauti-
full banner in the form of shield, with the
inscription "We remember the brave" +"
and resting on the shoulders of each mem
Der was a wreath, festooned with flowers.
THE AsHTABULA LIGHT GUARDS
in their attractive dress, drew much atten-
tion, and their fine drill, and soldier like
bearing were highly complimented; large
banner, with the motto, 1--WE shall ever
remember the brave boys who have fallen, =
was carried at the head of the company.
THE AsHTABULA LIGHT ARTILLERY
in their mounted as well as dismounted
drill, show that rapidity of improvement
which is highly complimentary to its Off
GERS as well as privates. 1t is without
doubt the best drilled and most thorough

an indispensable organization for live and
growing town like Ashtabula.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
To Mr.. M. H. Haskell is due the thanks
of the community for the difficult. but sue
cessful, manner in which he filed the Office
of Marshal.
Many of the graves Of those other than
soldiers were beautifed with flowers by their
friends. which added much to the beauties
of our cities Of the dead.
Nearly every place ofbusiness was closed
during the afternoon from to 4, which
clearly showed the interest and respect of
the community for the day.
There were no serious accidents, nor any
unpleasant features to mar the harmony
and success of the occasion, and as the ex-
ercises drew to a close every one seemed
satisfied in Ashtsbula's first attempt at OBJ
serving this popular and appropriate Gus
tom.
Great credit is due to Corporal Frazier
of the Light Guards, and Private Blakes-
lee Of the Artillery, for their arduops duties
in ascertaining the names Of those Of our
dead heroes who have died or were killed.

As no connected record has ever been made
of these noble defenders Of our country, a
slight idea Of the difficulty Of procuring
their names, the regiment to which they
were attached, etc, can be seen. This
committee has done its work well and thor
oughly, as can be seen by the list publish

OF the community is extended to them.

Court yesterday Tor confirmation but went
Monday next owing the absence Of the Justice The
defendant the suit Is about sixty OF age, and
was at one time State Senator. Tho PLAIN
tin is lady who occupies p very high
standing in society, finely educated anu a
member OF the old Rutgers family. The parties
have been married Tor noary forty years and have
twelve children. Abraham Conger was, number OF
years since, very wealthy, and, among other pos
sessions, he owned about thousand acres OF rich
lana In Rockiand county, In this State. Hero he
added to his wealth by raising stock. When the panic
came however, no lost considerable money STILL thu
balance which remained was so great he yct could DO
numbered among the rich mon OF the land. About
four years since Mr.. Conger was thrown from HE
carriage aud was so badly injured that his
children, IL Is said, became possessed with tho idea
that be was incapable OF managing his affairs Mr..
C0nger, IL seems, thought that he could, and the
differences OF opinion between himself ard family
the means finally Of causing Mr.. Conger TO leave tho
homestead aud reside alone IN New York. Tho de-
iendan, II seems, was OF religious turn
OF mind. and while sccumulaing largely Of
this worlds goods he thought that the ocs,
q church and parsonage noar his nome. This he did,
and placed the souls OF the COMMITMENTS and rehg.
iously Inclined people OF that section oil RocKland

clergyman aud his wife. 1t but natural Tor Mr..
Congo or 10 seek spirusl advice and consolation from
his pastor dark clouds Of trouble gathered about
him. and often he eund time TO vsit the hrcsidc and
happy homo OF tho good man. The fricnu-
ship between the two became very great, when
suddenly the enemies OF Mr. Congcr succeeded IN
erecting the reverend gentleman and his family from
the parsonage ana placing IN the pulpit oil the church
a man more suited to their tastes ny remaining very
closely New York thereafter II Is alleged he aDan
doned hts family.
The troubles OF Mr. CoDgcr wero Increased soon
