ers for running the State line between this
and the State Of Pennsylvania, the Report
sr says, the State Line House is found to
be within the State of Ohio, instead Of be-
ing divided BY that line, as heretofore. and
making that house dodging place for
rogues.
"A mild winter is predicted because Of
the similarity Of the fall, to that Of last
year. The appearance Of snow has been
but an appearance, and very little crust
has been found upon the earth by frost,
and another Indication is, that weather
and southerly winds have followed most
Of our storms.
An error or two was made in the las.
TELBsRAPH. The union observance of the
day viii be at the Congregational Church,
instead Of the Presbyterian, as was under
stood and stated.
In giving the age Of the venerable Mr.
Dick, it should have been 95, Instead Of
81.
The ladies Of the Temperance Union
at the HarbOr, viii provide an entertain
ment, at their hall, on the evening of the
4th Of December, at which they hope to see
all their friends. As funds are needed
your little ten cents for admission, will be
cheerfully taken, and 10 cents more for re-
freshments-only 9uarter-all told.
We find no paper among our ex-
chsnges-county or otherwise-so regard
full Of the interests and prosperity of its
own locality, as the Geneva Times, and
none therefore so deserving Of q generous
recognition and support among its own
eitizens.- It complains that the scarcity Of
houses for the accommodation Of seekers
is a serious evil.
While such men as Perry Bosworth,
G. n. Tuttle, Horace Steele, J. B. Burrows
and A. P. Axtel, severely eriticise the
Lake and Geanga County History, such
gentlemen, on the otherhand, as VIM. L. |
Perkins, A. L. Tinker, and James A. Gar
field, express themselves in commendation
of the same work. Who shall decide be-
tween such Doctors?
Father Conway, of the Ashtabula
Catholic church, has been taking the Con-
neaut Reporter to task, in a column article |
in the last Conneaut Express for endorsing
and commencing recent lecture in Con-
neaut by Col. Minor. The Rev. gentlemen
denies that the Catholic Church allowes
itself to be used for the furtherance of
party interests, and gives number of
prominent names of Catholic Bishops who
have been recognized as consistent members
Of the Republican party. Bro. Rieg must
look out for his editorial honors if he al
lows himself to get into sacradstal hands.
The continued severe sickness of James
Reed, Jr., has Of course, been seriously felt
in the business Of the TELEGRAPH Office,
and will satisfactorily account-we are dis
posed to belieYs-with those who have un-
derstood the fact, for any want Of prompt
ness and thoroughness in meeting the rea-
sonable expectations Of our patrons and
friends. We shall not be unmindful for
cOurtisies thus extended and shall endeav-
or to reciprocate in kind as far as oppor-
tunity shall allow. A favorable turn in
his disease-typhoid feVer-has been
watched for several days and the opinion
INDUCED, that in a few days, he will be
able again to enjoy the society Of friends,
as well as to enter upon the discharge Of
business and official duties.
"A -Colorado-friend, who runs
the ranch, just out of the city, speaks of
the price Of wheat in that region, as lower
than ever before, and that in st. Louis, it
has not been so depressed in price for twenty
years. Of ranch farming, notwithstand- i
ing the expense Of irregation, pays. As an /
evidence Of this, he tells US that he gather
ID 2, ,923 bushels of wheat the past season, !
without labor on his own part, except dur
ing harvest and that he cleared $3.50,
from the ranch. The number of acres is
not given. The crop was not as good as
usual and therefore, the return is thought |
70 be satisfactory. The prices of land i
hat has been worked, within seven or |
Eight miles of the city, ranges at about $50 J
IN acre. The amount of water required
,or irregating an so acre ranch is put down ]
1y this writer at $50 inches" costing at E
he rate of from 50 to $3.50 per inch, per t
Tear. The writer has a strong faith in the J
uture Of the city of Denver, but is prudent S
n advising emigration.
That poor old Republican Liberty pole
It the Main street corners, has at length
'owed its tall head, and como down, to the
,reat comfort and consolation of some of :
ur Democratic friends, who for the last ;
en- years, at least, have had regular an
lual fit of the nightmare, fearing that by :,
ONE possible mishap, it might fall upon >
