OR RWELL,

Eds. Tsl.-I paid a business visit IN
Rome, to-day, and accepted an invitation
to spend little while with Mr.. Geo. Stan
ley, well known farmer and butter max
er. His establishment shows business in
telligence and order. The arrangements
Tor butter making are very complete. His
butter Is of fine flavor and quality, and
had on hand about halt a ton, which is to
be shipped to Chas. Higlev & Co. \. Y.
This butter will rank favorably with the
celebrated Orange Co. article
A call was also made at the cheese fqcto-
~ of Flagg s Frisbie. Their stock of
cheese looked as if it had good care and
treatment, and its quality such as wouId
command good price in any market.
S. NJ. TinanS of Rome, tells methat the
first two frame houses built in Rome were
those of Joe Tinans, and Levi Crosby.
while the next, south towards Warren, was
in Bloomfield. Joe Tinan helped survey
the old turnpike through the woods to
Warren.
S. NJ. Tinans, living on the old home

Insurance CompanIe..

In these times when so large a number of
insurance companies are compelled by
heavy losses and great depreciation of as
sets, to go into liquidation, it is matter
of deep interest to the public to learn of
companies that may be relied upon as
worthy of entire confidence.
The 4Sth semi-annual statement of the
Home Insurance Company of New York,
made on the 1st inst, shows that this IA
vorte company, by judiciOus management,
has its large fund so invested as to be
available without shrinkage. Its assets Of
over six millions of dollars are more than
one-half in cash in Banks and United
States Stocks, and the balance in loans and
bonds amply secured.
The Royal Insurance Company of Liver
pool, one Of the great corporations of
Great Britain, has United States branch
which, by its large and amply secured re-
cources, and by its prompt payment of
losses-over million in Chicago and Bos-
ton-makes it favorite company.
Henry Fassett is agent for the above
named companies, and is prepared to issue
policies on as favorable terms as can be of.
fered by any reliable company.
We learn that the local insurance board
in this place, which was instituted some
years ago. has disbanded, and the agent;
OF all companies left to the exercise of theil
own Judgment as to rates, subject only tt
the approval of the companies they repre-
sent

Taxation OF Banks.

The State Board of Equalization are
rather crowding the banks. They are put
ting upon them burdens that are hard to
be borne, and if persisted in, can hardly
have any other effect than to drive them
to the wall. Some of them vince under
this treatment. but bear it in the hope of
relief in the future. Others meet the eX-
actions with proteSts-three, at least OF
our county institutions have taken this
course. Others are suing out injunctiOns
against the collection of the taxes levied
upon them. The trouble seems to be, as
we gather it from some of the officers of
our banks, that they are assessed and tax
ed beyond what they can bear. In the first
place, they are taxed upon their stock at
premium valuation, while in fact, perhaps,
1t can be bought in any amount at 10 per
cent. of from par. Then again they are
assessed and taxed for a premium upon
the bonds deposited to secure circulation.
and this without regard to the amount of
the premium paid in the purchase of these
bonds. Then again they are taxed upon
their circulation and deposits, and all this
in the face of the fact, that banking capi-
tai is listed at higher rate than other
property. 1t is well known that while
real estate goes upon the list for twO-thirds
its value, banking capital is actually listed
above its real value. All this is apparent
injustiee-an oppression Of these nstltu-
tions. They complain that this course
cripples them, and puts it out of their pow
er to do reasonably paying business. Is
it surprising that stand is taken against
such wrong? Does not this state of things
offer to stockholders a sufficient apology
for the passing of dividends? How, it
might be asked, could it be otherwise.
when some three per cent. of the gross tax
es are taken in the way stated, from the 9
per cent. interest received. Then from
the six per cent. that is left, deduct the
expenses of carrying on the business-sal
which to make semi-annual four per cent.
dividends to stockholders? 1t seems to be
too apparent on the face for any one to
doubt, that the thing is impracticable. No
mportunity-nO statement of facts arrests
the attention of the Board of Equalization,
and the only course left for relief is that of
litigation, with all its additional and exor-
bitant expenses, Consolidation for sus-
tainining individual rights, is the only re-
course, unless a change of those officers
who constitute the board can be effected
by the election of better men.

BASE BALL.
The WatsOns meet the Live Oaks Of
Rock Greek and are the VIeIOrs-The
Score being for the Live oaks, tor
the MataOns.

The game between the Watson club of
this place and the Live Oaks of Rock Greek,
was postponed last Thursday, as the Live
Oaks expected to play the Hartsgrove club
on Saturday. The Hartsgrove club was
unable TO meet them on that day and
dispatch was sent Saturday morning by
the Live Oaks to the WatSOns, saying they
would play them that afternoon in Ashta-
bula. The challenge was accepted. and
the visiting club arrived here on the after
noon train ofthe A., Y. & P. road.
It is generally admitted that this Rock
Greek club is one of the strongest clubs in
the county, and the short announcement
of the game drew about two hundred spec
tators to the grounds. 1t was watched
with the greatest interest from the open
ing to the close, as it was the most excit-
ing and closest game ever played in Ashta-
bula, and the fine playing Of each nine was
heartily cheered by the spectators.
The Watsons were the first to the bat,
but not run did they make; the Live
Oaks ran in one man in the first inning.
From this time on the Watsons steadily
gained, making one run in each Of the
End, Sd, 9th and 7th innings and three in
the 4th. The Live Oaks made one run in
each of the 1st, Sd and 9th innings, suffer
ing six whitewashes to the WatsOns four.
There were but very few heavy bats made,
but ths fielding was excellent on both
sides. Aside from being very close game,
it was PLAYED in the remarkably quick time
of eighty-six and one-half minutes-one
of the shortest games on record. We are
informed that seventy-five minutes is the
best time yet made by professionals.
Seats were provided by the association
and the best of good feeling and order pre-
vailed during the entire game.
The Watsons appeared for the first time
in their new uniform and it was pronOunc-
ed by all meat but not gaudy." 1t con-
sists Of white linen cap with brown star on
top, white knit shirt, white flannel knee
pantS. with brown belt and brown stock
ings. The club is now well organized and
fully equipped; our citizens are requested
to lend them such aid as will keep up their
interest, that Ashtabula may continue to
have the best ball club in the county, if
rot in this part of the State.

The WatsOns and Genevas have an
other Game-Geneva wins by a Score
of to 4.

The second game with the Geneva club,
or rather the club Geneva has hired to play
for them, was played on the Association
grounds last Monday afternoon. 1t was
called at 2 o'clock, the Watsons taking the
bat. At the end of the fifth inning our
club had a score of three, and the Genevas
five large goose eggs. The Watsons sue
ceeded in scoring only one more during
the balance of the game, while the Genevas
ran in five men in the sixth inning, one in
the seventh and one in the eighth, closing
the game with four runs for the Watsons
and seven for the Genevas. In the previous
game the Watsons were the victors to the
tune Of eleven to twenty-five, and we feel
safe in saying that they would have been
victorious in the last game had Geneva
used her own players, but she sends to
Cleveland and procures a pitcher and
catcher, both professionals, paying them
good salaries for their services.
As each club has now won game it will
be decidedly interesting to witness the
third which will be played at an early day.
The umpire in the last game was in every
respect incompetent for the position.
