ROCK CREEK.
Sept. %. 1s7


The flood made sorry work indeed at
Rock Greek. A more complete wreck than
Woolever's Mill presents could hardly be
imagined, except by the washing out of the
whole builling. The lower part or base
ment together with its foundations are
gone, and a considerable portion Of the
building was found after the worl Of the
waters hanging by the timbers running in
other portions of the building. Without
shores and staunchions since placed, early
one-half of the building, before this,
would have sunk into the creek. The two
boilers were washed out-one near the
bridge and the other brought up near the
cemetery bridge. The stones of the dam
are scattered all along the creek. The
mill was owned by Mr.. Woolever and run
on contract by Mr.. Oscar Evans. The loss,
therefore, falls upon Mr.. WooleYer, and
Some oats, were lost which probably be-
longed to Mr.. Evans. A subscription pa
per was in circulation for the repair of the
mill, which was started with the sum of
$50 by Mrs. Flora Randall, and other sub
scriptions followed that were quite liberal,
and gave an earnest of securing an amount
for repairs.
Commissioner Dodge was on hand on
Saturday last to prepare the way for start
ing repairs upon the approach of the bridge
which was taken out clean. Bids were called
for, and the walls for the fill were taken by
Joseph White, at the low rate of 50 cord,
using the stone that were scattered around
the locality. Mayor Wilcox has the super
vision of the work.
The oil well in progress at this place,
has reached the depth of go feet without
anything occurring of special interest.
The place chosen for the bore is some mile
or two east of the station.
Postmaster Pifer and Bert Wilcox have
been obliged to vacate their place of abode
on the flats about midway between the cor
ners and the covered bridge. The water
rose upon the first floor about 18. inches
and left things in no condition for com
Portable or healthy occupancy. As this
was no new thing for the denizens Of the
flats, we presume they took it philOsophie-
ally and as matter of course.
Graham & Wilcox have nearly finished
their office building on the tannery yard,
where they expect to be on hand for prompt
attention to business.

stated that while he was driving along
Station street, on the night of the 18th
inst, in the vicinity of the new fire cistern
that is being constructed, his carriage was
broken, his pocketbOok containing $3.50
lost, and that he received personal injuries,

COUNTY NEWS.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS.
SAYBROOK,

Eds. Tel. There is an unusual deartt
of ministers here just now. Rev. S. W
Streeter has gone to Chicago for two oil
three weeks, Rev. D. Mizener and Rev. J.
B. Hammond went to Conference last week
and have not yet returned. There is aru.
NOR on the street to-day that the coming
man is the Rev. S. Collier, but such rumors
sometimes prove to be mistakes; we shall
know of certainty in few days.
Abo1t mex. week. after the peaches are
all gone, we expect lots of folks from the
south towns anxious to buy at fair prices,
at least we have never known them to fail
to do so.
Several members of the families of Rich
ard Wilkinson on north ridge and Mrs.
Thomas Wilkinson at the station, have
been sick during the past two months, but
some of them are around again, and the
Others we hope soon will be.
Going to the post office the other night
we were little surprised to see two of the
croquet grounds in our village lighted up,
and the busy hum OF voices showed that
our national game is in no danger of being
neglected here.
Mr.. E. C. Parks is suffering from what
is supposed to be cancerous sore between
the shoulders, affecting his general health,
having little relish for food, and losing
strength slowly but surely. DR.. Eames is
his medical attendant, and as he is skill
full physician, we hope he will yet be
brought safely through.
One Of those cases we sometimes read of
but seldom see, where people are very sick
and are restored to health again without
medicine, simply by strong, unyielding
faith in God, has occurred during the pres
ent month, in this town. We refer to
Mrs. Horace Hickok who was taken sick
last June, and took more or less medicine
up to little more than two weeks ago,
when it was thought by her friends that
she could live but a short time, but grad
ually her faith grew so strong that God was
able and willing to cure her without medi-
cine, since which time she has been free
from pain, and has gained strength to that
extent that she is able to do a part of her
housework. Yesterday she came to church
and staid through the sermon, by Rev.
A. Walker, and class meeting, and related
a portion of her experience. Having per-
sonal knowledge of the truth of the most
of the statements given above, we can but
say, SIT is Gods doings. and it is marvel
GUS in our eyes," J.

Garfield.

Gen. Garfield viii speak to his Ashtabu-
la constituents, on Monday evening next
-9Oth-at the Opera House. OF course,
in these days of financial astuteness, when
every village politician is big with fnan-
cial theories and when-it has been said
that no two of any ten bank presidents
that might be collected, would be found to
hold common sentiments on finance, it will
be no common treat to listen to the views
of one who has mental capacity and power
enough to comprehend the subject, and
who has made it the subject of profound
study and research of years, and reached
some welI-defned conclusions, and who
will bring to the discussion comparison
of the syslems-the experiences and con-
elusiOns Of the more prominent govern
ments of the world. Let all of whatever
political faith or financial theory or fancy
go and hear him.

Probate of Wills.

At the suggestion of the Probate Judge.
and for the information of those having
wills to prove in the Probate Court, we
call their attention to the law on that sub
ject which took effect Sept. 1st, 1873. Be
fore wills can be proven notice must be
given to the widow or husband surviving,
and the heirs at law residing in this State.
The will must be produced in Court and
such notice given before the witness to the
will can testify as to its execution. Such
parties should bring their wills into Court,
have day fixed for hearing, give the
notice required by law, and on such day
of hearing (and not befOre) procure the at
tendance at Court of the witnesses to the
will

. The Henderson & Bent's concert at the
Opera House on Monday evening had any
thing but paying house, yet the troupe
decided TO go through the programme and
do their best to make it pleasant for those
present. The difficulty was that the COM
pany was new and strange to our citizens,
and the people of Ashtabula are very con-
servstively slow in the matter of giving
their countenance and patronage to any
thing without established standing. The
music was all of the first class, and the
entertainment was a musical banquet. As
there was nothing mediocre in the perform
ance, there is no need of discrimination.
Each in his or her part was simply admira-
bic, and it was our sincere regret that our
people were not generally out to enjoy it.
We may perhaps allude to the saxophone,
played by Miss Linden. The instrument
was probably never seen before by any of
the audience. 1t was, therefore, novelty,
and one had to balance sometime in reach
ing decision whether some of its blaring,
harsher tones we're really agreeable or 9th
erwise. Portions of its scale and range
were very fine and its harmony good. 1t
was listened to with much interest, and,
we presume, enjoyment, because of its
singularity. Perhaps little acquaintance
may gain for it heartier and more conf
dent approval. The performer did her
part well.

FROM OUR EXCHANGES.

From the Geneva Times.
We woke up the whole nest of scribblers
in the Ashtabula Standard office, last
week, and the effect of said awakening was
apparent in the issue of that sheet yester.
day. Mr.. Luther Parker, the gentleman
championed by the Standard, didn't know
that he had been assaulted by Jones till he
read about it in the Standard, and ex-
pressed in our hearing some surprise at see
ing himself so paraded in public journal.
He said he never authorized anything of
the kind. and did not know that he was to
be made martyr of till the thing was
done. The fact is the Standard has en-
gagged in a very dirty piece of business,
and there does not appear to be manhood
enough in the little concern to back out of
1t, and take bath.
Daniel Cannon, who died in this town
on Wednesday of last week, came here some
eight years ago, since which time he has
been great sufferer from cancerous affec-
tion of the lower part of his face. Some
twenty-five years ago his chin was cut by
barber. The slight, and apparently harm
less wound gradually became inhamed into
a cancerous sore, and had by degrees eaten
away his chin and at last terminated his
life. His under lip was entirely gone.
Seldom does it fall to the lot OF mortals to
suffer so long and so terribly as he did.
From the Painesville Telegraph.
The Williams Bros, who for the past
five months have been busy collecting ma
terial about town and vicinity, for the his
tory of Lake county, finished last week,
and are now working Lorain county. The
book is expected to be out within month,
or so.
While the river was running high last
week, small boy by the name of Owens,
at the harbor, busted himself by wading
into the stream and collecting drift wood.
After returning home be complained to his
mother that something was hurting his
side; but she paid no special attention to
his oft repeated complaint until after he
had gone to bed, and still troubled with
something, he pulled out from within his
clothes a large water snake. The boy wore
a loose blouse suit, and the snake probably
crawled in while the little fellow was in the
wafer

An order was issued by Harbor Master
Thayer to the owners of the schooner Star
of Hope, to remove her from her present
location, so as to allow other craft to pass.
This vessel has been lying near the bridge
of the Harbor Division of the L. S. & NJ. S.
R'y, and during the late flood was sunk;
she lays across the river so as to prevent
other boats from passing. As no vessel
with cargo ever goes up the river so far,
and as it would be quite heavy expense
10 her owners, she was allowed to remain.
Two little scows that were used in making
the repairs on the railroad bridge succeed
ed in getting by her.

OB1TUARY.-The death of Mrs. Hubert,
of Ashtabula, Ohio, will cause genuine
grief to her many friends in this city, who
became acquainted with her while on a
visit to her daughters, Mrs. Andrew G.
Stone and Mrs. Walter R. Rowe.
Mrs. Hubert was possessed of all the
qualities which made her respected by her
acquaintance, and loved by all who knew
her well; of a gentle nature, sweet and
generous disposition, firm and steady
temperament, with heart that was full Of
love and sympathy for all, she made a
faithful and loving wife, devoted mother
and true and sincere friend.
Mrs. Hubert was of sterling New Eng
land stock, being direct descendant of
Jonathan Edwards, and she possessed to
great degree the traits of puritanical
character, softened and refined by intelli-
gence and pure womanhood. The fu-
neral services were held in the presence of
great numbers of her friends and acquaint-
ances and showed how sincerely her loss is
mourned at Ashtabula.

if by magic. We do not ask you to buy until

On the evening of Wednesday of last
week as Joseph Racey was driving along
Station street where new fire cistern is
being built, he ran against the temporary
shed that was erected over the cistern, in
which he claims his buggy was eapsized
and broken, his pocket-book containing
$3.50 lost, and thar he sustained personal
injuries. Joseph thinks $50 Will make him
and his property good for the damages he
and his property sustained on that occa-
sion, and the Council, at the next meeting,
will be so informed. 1t is an undisputed
fact that the proper officers of the village
have been very negligent in the past, in
not causing lights and barriers to be placed
in the vicinity where such works are going
on, and it is wonder that serious accidents
have not occurred before. Chardon, we
think, invested about $4,000 short time
since, to satisfy one of her citizens who
was injured while trying to walk over a
a dilapidated sidewalk in that town Ash
tabula has escaped so far with claim for
only $50 and she may consider herself
luckily by getting off so cheaply.
Since writing the above the matter has
been submitted to the Council and referred
by that body to special committee, as an
nounced in the Council Proceedings. The
Street Commissioner, under whose charge
the cistern was built, says he had just ta-
ken the lantern home to fill it, that one la
borer was working on the cistern at the
time, and if the horse had not been driven
so rapidly, the danger would have been
seen by the driver and horse, and the ae-
cident avoided. The committee will prob
ably report at the next meeting of the
Council.
