KINGSVILLE.

Eds. Te.l-The food of last week fur
nishing some items of interest, we pro-
eeed to gather up what we may for publi-
cation. The stream passing through the
south part of the village, in our bOyhood
days was much more improved than now.
The last water privilege in close proximity
to its junction with Conneaut creek, is
now used by Mr.. Rhen at the Spring Mills.
This now is the only Touring mill IN town,
those of Messrs. Kingsbury and Benjamin
having been effeetually closed by the food.
They are both on Conneaut creek, and both
their bulk heads are washed ont. The race
ways are also very effectually torn up and
nearly obliterated in parts. The Benja-
min mill has suffered the most damage
from the flooding Of the mill in which
there was quantities of -four and feed and
quite large quantity of corn. The lum-
Der in the yard was all taken away. 1t,
however, came in contact few rods be-
low-with row of willows on the bank
and was all saved.
The bridges, including the one just be-
low the spring mill, as well as the one
spanning Connesut creek near Benjamin's
dam, are both left-the small one led to
Kingsbury mill. The repairs here made
necessary, give pretty steep passageway
into the bridge, but does very we'll.
Though badly flooded and washed away
there is room by skillful driving for two
vehicles to pass.
The amount of loss and damage cannot
be estimated with any approach to fact.
Mr.. Benjsmin's will range somewhere be-
tween $500 and $1,000.
Palmer's works at North Kingville met
with rough usage. The road serves as
the dam, and on either side Of the mill
channels ara cut which threatened to carry
away the foundations of the mill. Though
Palmer has no dam by the mill site he can
not say he has no mill by dam site.
At North Sheffield on Ashtabula creek,
the saw mill, blacksmith shop, lumber,
logs, &C., are all gone, as well as build
ing on the opposite bank, owned by j. p.
Smith. In this building, it is reported,
were two peddlers' wagons stored with
goods, and buggy. All went together.
The bridge remained, though the north
approach was badly washed.
Clark's bridge below was carried of but
lodged in good shape, and may be replaced.
Scarcely house in our village but that
leaked fearfully.
The few that went to Cleveland fair re-
turned on Thursday night
The weather since this boisterous and
destructive storm has been calm, bright
and lovely, and seems quite innocent OF
such a row as was kicked mp last week.
The high school starts off on its fall
term with usual promise Of success. 6.

The County Commissioners have been in
session. and have made the necessary ar
rangements to put the bridges and roads
lately washed away, in PassableseOnditiOn;
and this business will be pushed to COM
pletion with as much rspidity as possible.
The vaults at the depot Of this place
have been in a very bad condition ever
since the road has been in operation, until
recently, when, at the urgent solicitation OF
the Board Of Health the company renOvs-
ted the institution completely, and to the
entire satisfaction of all health loving peO-
pie.
The Teachers Examination held at this
place on Tuesday last was quite largely at
tended; there were ifty-eight applicants
present.
In the case of Ohio VS.. Henry Austin
and Edward Brown, for killing William
Trail at Eagleyille, while Trail was labor
ing under a slight mental .-aberratiOn,
Brown confessed and says that Austin
struck Trail two or three times with club
upon his head. 1t will be remembered
that in the post-mortem examination OF
Trail his skull was found fractured, and
his brain completely gorged with blood.
The town well is being drilled deeper,
but the oil supply has played out.
The most ancient and venerable inhabi-

slushing around loose last week than there
has been since good old Noah, with his in

immense menagerie, endeavOred to locate
lands for Geological Gardens on the Sum-
NIT Of Ararat. Possibly the mature citizen
is correct in part of his statement, but he
should be made to understand, now and
henceforth, that the alleged and only sue
eessful navigator Of that damp and un-
pleasant period had nc original intention
at the outset of embsrking in the ''show
business" However, it has at last been
definitely settled that the grand old sailor
above referred to, was the first considerste
and loving parent that established the Gus
tom-now so immensely poPular-of taking
the children to circus, that they might
look with wOnderment upon the wild ami
mails there ENGAGED; for who can success
fully deny that the playful ChimpanEee Of
that moist period did not perform fantas-
tic tricks Of legerdemain upon the striped
back of the rescued Zebra? Be this as it
may, we all know that great food has
spent its fury in our midst, and destruc-
tion to property has been terrible; large
quantities of public property has been
swept suddenly and hOpelessly away, while
many of the citizens Of our county have
been compelled to sacrifice much Of value
and thereby assume burdens which they
cannot easily bear,

Eds. Iel.:-A large amount Of damage
was done here by the freshet. The water
rose 1S inches higher than ever before
known. All the new embankment south
of the village was washed out. The fol-
lowing bridges are gone: The Pinney
bridge, the one near Simmons; the Rogers
and Clark bridges, and the Fem bridge
all on the Ashtabula creek. On the Come
aut creek, the Farnham bridge is gone, al
SO the Tinker bridge, and the one near the
Fickinger place. Large quantities Of stock
were lost. G. Kemp lost 80 sheep, and
Mr.. Winder lost about the same; R. P.

pies number. There were several narrow
escapes, but no lives lost.

From the Geneva Times
A Bit of Malice.

If to assault palsied old man gives man any
claim upon the Republicans OF Ashtabula County
for once, We understand that Ma. Jones possess
es more Of this claim than any other man in the
county. de did assault an old man in Geneva,
and the man was trembling with age and inhFmi-
~, but we do not believe the republicans gener-
ally knew this when they nominated the Major
for Sheriff. Asllta6IsLd Standard.
The fact is we'll known that the people Of
Geneva ranged themselves on either side
of the question-shall we build q soldiers
monument?-the Democrats of the town,
with perhaps few exceptions, together
with few Republicans opposing it,-s
msjority Of the voters, made up Of both
parties, favoring, as the results Of the sew
eral elections held, show. The ex-soldiers
of the township favored the scheme and in
some instances exercised but little patience
with any who opposed it. There was an
abundance of hot blood on both sides. and
high words were of too frequent occurrence.
During the heat of the excitement Major
Jones stepped into Warden & Sons grocery
Just at dusk, one evening, and Mr.. Luther
Parker, an aged, respected citizen of the
town, and an anti-monument man, who
happened to be in, was just then giving
his view, on certain pOints-msking certain
statements, which Jones heard, and prompt
ly characterized as false, and perhaps, in
the heat of passion said more. This is all
there was Of the offence charged, and which
the Standard calls an assault" Now
don't the managers of the Standard know
that there is no such thing in law or in
fact as an assault with words? The plain
import of the language above is that there
we've demonstrations, showing an intent
and design to do bodily injury, and those
not knowing the facts would so read it,
every time. The charge is malieiO usly
false. Wesay this because the author of it,
in whose fertile brain these ISLANDERS on
Major Jones are hatched, k'S0t0S that there
was nothing in the nature Of an assault in
the affair. The paragraph quoted was no
doubt intended to convey the impression
that defeneeless old man had been bruised
and beaten, and so it will be read. Why
not oppose q man, if one feels it his duty 70
do so, in an honest way. Major Jones IA
yOred the monument and the Geneva repre-
sentative of the Standard opposed it.
Hence these ISLANDERS.
