The Sale of Relics.

The sale of relics of the great bridge dis
aster that occurred in this place Dec. 29th,
1876, took place last Tuesday at the office
of Coroner Richards. The articles as ad-
vertised were appraised at S6S.45, but they
only brought $44.O2. The sale opened at
10 O'Clock a. IN. with very few persons
present, most of whom were citizens of
this place. The articles offered, jsWelry,
silverware, books, keys, etc., nearly all of
which were more or less damaged by fire.
A Centennial revolver" nickel plated
and uninjurSd, which was worth at least
SO, sold for $500 and all the other articles
in proportion. While burned watch was
being sold, Mrs. Geo. Hewells, daughter
of the late A. Il. Stockwell, of AshtAbula,
burst into tears, saying it was her fathers
watch. She identified it by the chain,
which was of peculiar construction and
only one link of which was attached to the
watch. 1t was a touching scene and
brought the moisture to the eyes of many
of the spectators. This is, We believe the
only article that has been identified as the
property of Mr.. Stockwell. A small dia-
mond, with gold setting which was badly
burned, sold for $1.65.
tnoon a recess of an hour was taken,
after which the sale was again opened to a
larger crowd and the bidding was more
spirited. The balance Of the articles were
soon disposed Of.
In room No. Haskell block, the cloth.
ing, etc., has been stored. TO this room
the sale continued, but few articles were
sold owing to the burned and damaged
condition of the articles. The balance Of
which were sold for paper rags. Mrs. j.
B. Hopkins Of Painesvills was here an6
identified stocking knit by herself for hel
brother Mr.. John Porter. He has beer
missed since that memorable day Of th'
accident and this is the only article tha
has been identified as the property of tn,
missing one.
The expenses Of the sale, storing the ar
ticles, etc. will far exceed the receipts o
the sale.

"Can We Have a Railroad? &"

Certainly. Have as many of them as
you want. All town wants is a railroad,
and rolling mills, paper mills, etc., will
follow in quick succession. The following
is from the last Connsaut Reporter:
1t is said that the road running from
Girard to Pittsburgh is soon to put on
new rails. ties and ballast, and there is an
effort being made by the people Of Con-
neautyille, Albion and some other places
to have the road changed-runnlng it along
the old canal tow-path directly through
these places. Then, if there is enough in
tsrsst manifested in COnnSaut, it is pro-
posed to run the road through Springfield
to this place and the harbor. | think every
one can see the benefit to be derived from
railroad direct from the csal fields to our
har rbor-reduced prices on all grades of
coal, increased demand and better prices
for all kinds Of produce, filling up Of va
cant houses and ready sale Of property,
more vim in all branches Of business, and
a rapid growth of our village which is sure
to follow the introduction OF railroad
that opens up to us great market.
Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1878-04-19

The taste for ornamenting yards and
homestead grounds, has undergone a great
change Of late, and as we think very much
for the better. Instead Of filling yard
with trees and shrubs,-cluttering it up,
perhaps, with flowers and ornamental trees,
we now see these things used more spar
ingly, and the surface left unOccupied ex-
cept by grass-a green lawn, while far
prsttier than all else, meets the eye with =
plsssurable sentiment. Grass is now the
prominent feature and flowers are used as
occasional and in somewhat sparlng guam
titles, and to serve their end should always
be arranged with approved taste.

My sterious Disappearance.

The community is excited over the mys-
terious disappearance and supposed sui
eide OF S. S. Wheeler, a painter about for
ty years of age, and well-known citizen.
He was last seen Sunday, a little before
noon, going in the direction of piece Of
woods south of town. His wife was at
church at the time, land on her return found
nothing missing from the house but her
husbands best clothes, his revolver and a
few cartridges. No active general search
was made until Tuesday. when the Odd Fell
lows, of whom the man was a member,
secured the woods, sent messengers to
Cleveland and Chardon, and took other
means to discover the body if dead or the
whereabouts of the man if living. No
clue was found, however, and the belief
that the man killed himself prevails.
Wheeler had lately been sued by the Meth
odist Church for the amount Of his sub
scription to the building fund, and it is
thought that this, added to other demands
for money which he could not meet acting
upon sensitive nature, affected his mind
and drove him to suicide. Wheeler has
been happy in his domestic relations, uni
versally respected, and WAS not intempsr-
ate. The Odd Fellows Lodge, in a meet
ing tonight, discussed the matter, and
made arrangements for further search.
