KINGSVILLE.
Eds. Tel.-Our trip home from Charles
town via. Burton, Chardon, Painesville,
&C., in spite of the dust and heat, was not
void of pleasure, for Notwithstanding the
fine country and scenery, the mind was in
a happy frame from the recollections of a
picnic before starting, where a comforta-
BILE meeting was had with old time friends,
and again at a meeting of Battery A. 1st
Ohio Artillery, with which We were asso-
ciated, in their reunion.
The harvested wheat and oats along the
route were being threshed out, with a very
satisfactory yield. From Chardon, we
kept company with the narrow gauge rail-
road. With the small show of business
upon this line, one might imagine that
the strikers were in force, and yet our
Painesville friends are sanguine of better
times when one Mr.. Wick's coal at Youngs-
town, is exchanged for better quality.
The interests of one man, pitted against
those of whole community, must natur-
ally affect the profits of the rolling stock.
With the bitter bitten, changes will take
place. Thus it is talked in gainesville.
Painesville cemetery is an attractive
place. Its evergreens, plants, flowers, stat
uary, finely curved and graded walks and
drives. were good evidence Of taste IN
landscape matters. The sexton has fine
residence within the grounds, the rent Of
which goes to make up the salary. This
salery is not large, as he has pretty busy
work in looking after and caring for the
pots of flowers and ornaments Of the lot
owners, everything in which line is kept in
excellent order and condition.
Coming out of the grounds, we passed
bv the stately residence of Hon. Jack Case
ment, on the porch of which we met our
honored representative in Congress, SEEM
ing to enjoy life with a zest. A ride to the
west end of the city brought us into Prox-
unity with the residence of Geo. Steele,
ESQ.,, with others fully equal to the Euclid
avenue residences, Cleveland. The church
edifices of Painesville are fine specimens OF
architecture, but the new NJ. E. church
caps the climax, and is happy combina-
ton of chaste beauty and harmony OF de-
/ sign.
On reaching home, we found mono
gram egg, laid by one of our hens. The
letter is very elaborately shown upon
| the small end. G.
Mr.. John Jones, of Kingsyille, by being
run away with, sustained a broken wrist
and other injuries.
