A SERIOUS CHARGE.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
But almost the first act of the new &C.
ministration was to fulfill a bargain that
had been made during the presidential
count, by which, if HAYES should be presi.
dent, the lawful governments of Louisiana
and South Carolina we're to be abandoned
and the mot-governments in those states
were to be recognized and established.
Certain democrats IN the house of repre-
sentatives, seeing that, by the recurring de
cissions of the electoral commission, an6
the regular proceedings of the two houses
under the electoral bill, which they had
warmly supported, Hayes would surely be
president. had conceived the plan of saving
something ftom the wreck. They had
therefore, threatened by dilatory motions
and riotOus proceedings to break up the
count, and then opened negotiations with
such timid or too eagerly expectant repub
licans as they could find ready. They hai
succeeded beyond their most sanguine ex
pectations. Senator Sherman had visited
Ohio and consulted Gov. Hayes. Mr.. Henr,
Watterson. q democratic member, and
nephew of Stanley Matthews. had acted a

HARTSGROVE.

f. G. Hurlburt-County COmmls-
sioner-made us a call on Tuesday last on
his way to the lnfrmary, in company with
his olleagues-Messrs. Peck and SimOnds,
We learn that the county barns are not yet
completed, that some delay has been occa-
stoned by the purchase of shingles, which
the commissioners have rejected.
Mr.. Hurlburt, well known as heavy
cattle dealer as well as commissioner, has
lust made a sale of nine heads OF stears,
ranging from three to five years old, and
averaging 1,500 pounds each, at satisfacto-
ry prices. Pasture is quite short in Harts-
grove and vicinity-the want of rain and
the quantity of grass hoppers contributing
to leave it in a worse condition than it has
been known for years. This condition of
things is, however, confined to limited
district, as rains have visited both sides OF
it, and crops are doing well. The unfavor-
able prospects for feed rather urged the
sale of the stock referred to, thus early IN
the season.
The opportunity thus afforded for an in
terview with practical stock raiser, lead
to a conference upon the point and policy Of
turning off for the shambles, immature
beef of two years old. 1t was given as his
opinion that there was more growth and
profit to be derived from the increase be-
tween the second and third year, than al
most any other stage, beside which, the
beef will bring in market full 81 hun
dred more than that of the two year old.
This opinion, gathered from years of OBJ
servation and experience, leaves little doubt
for question, and shows heimpoliey Of our
farme rs in supplying so many Of their two
year o Ids to our village butchers, as we see
broug bt into town SO frequently.

Another victory for the Watson Club
They tackle the Geneva Club and
Come OuI VietOrN tO ;he tune OF EIeV-
en- 10 TNentY-IEO


Last Friday the Watson club played a
matched game with the Geneva club at
that place. 1t was very close game up
10 the seventh inning, the score then stand
ing nine for the Watson and eight for Ge-
neva. In the seventh inning only one tai
ly was made by the Geneva, while the Wat
sons ran IN seven more men, which seemed
to greatly discourage the Genevas. Inc
eighth inning added one more Whlte"'iSn
to the Geneva side. while the WatSonS
earned tive more runs In the last inning
Geneva made two and the WatsonS 1our'
closing the game with eleven to twenty
two tallies in favor of the Watsons.
Tn the last inning Hepburn struck the
hail which was a dead one, terrific blow
sending it flying far over the left fielder,
and upon which Sanford made a home
rpn. Hepburn being unaple to run owing
to the injuries he received in the match
pame of the previous Saturday. This
very unusual bat was greeted with pro-
Ionged cheers by the spectators from
Ashtabula.
About the middle of the game Watson,
the catcher, was struck by foul tip on the
collar bone but this did not delay the
game more than minute for he was again
ready for business In the eighth inning
he was struck by foul tip in the mouth,
cutting his hpes quite badly. but he went
to his post for the second time and finished
the game.
The scores would have been much less
had there been right short stops for each
nine, for there were many passed balls.
1t was a fact of general remark that not
a cheer was given by the citizens OF Geneva
for the Watson club, and some OF their
citizens made frequent and very ungentle-
manly remarks to the Watsons, without
cause or provoeation. The Geneva players
conducted themselves like gentlemen from
the opening to the close of the game.
The field had been used for COW pas
ture and circus ground and was in very
bad condition; heaps of hay and hay and
grass that had been used lying around gen
orally.
We hope the Geneva club will visit Ash
tabula at an early day and We guarantee
them pleasant time. II would be we'll
for some of Geneva's gentlemen q to come
the same time and learn how Ashtabula
treats her visiting clubs.

The Excursion.

A few of the citizens of Ashtabula took
advantage of the excursion given by the
Metropolis last week, to get away from
business and to visit the great cataract.
There were not many on board the steam
er, but it gave the more room to those who
went, and such company as there was was
good. The sail across the lake was quiet,
the morning dawned sweetly, the ride
down to the Falls cool, and the view of the
Falls as grand as ever. The sail back in the
evening was just rough enough to give zest
and variety, and the arrival on Friday
morning again on a tranquil sea. Taking
the trip throughout all pronounced it very
delightful. The boat is strong one and
very steady in rough weather. Capt. Ben
ham is a seaman who understands his busi-
ness, Mr.. Luce a quiet and kind-hearted
gentleman, Mr.. Jones, the guide, we'll ae-
