DgD7cATIoy.-The new church building
oftbe First Presbyterian Church Of Warren,
O.. will be dedicated to the service Of Al
mighty God, on Tuesday, Nov. 18th. 1878,
at ? o'clock p. NJ, being the seventy-ffth
anniversary Of the organization Of the
Church.
We acknowledge the courtesy OF an earn
est invitation from the Trustees and ses-
sion to be present on that occasion
Let them have full house here. The
John Thompson Combination that played
here in the Spring 10 large and delighted
audience is to be at Smiths Opera House
next Tuesday evening, the 18Th. Mr..
Thompson has wonderful versatility and a
great reputation. The popular price Of
admission, 25c., is filling houses for the
company along the route. They wont be
disappointed here.
The demand for Oysters about these
days is rather beyond the supply. on Sat
urlay last, there was hardly can left
over for Sundays dinner. The demand
for them can be conjectured by the sales of
some OF the dealers. Bieder, the Baker,
for instance, closed out his stock, amount
ing to $50. Some Of them were of quail
ity hard to beat. "Ludington's A" make
as good a Sunday morning breakfast as any
half starved printer could wish.
-Newberry is putting down walk IN
front of his block, that takes the palm
from anything that has yet been introduced.
1t is Of sandstone, from quarry south Of
Euclid-harder and firmer in texture than
Berea, but of equal purity and color and
Of size to make the width of the walk. 1t
is laid with care and good workmanship by
Smith, of the granite monument yard,
rear the Lake Shore station, and, as We
learn, at an expense no greater than that
of other walks about town.
"A Convention Of the Presby teriau Syn
DDS Of Erie, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and,
Columbus is to be held in Pittsburgh on
the 18th of November, to continue three
days. The object of the convocation is to
supplicate for a spiritual awakening here
and throughout the world. These SynOds
embrace a large amount of fruitful Presby
terian territory, including about 600 min
isters, all Of whom, as well as an elder rep
resenting each congregation, are inyited to
be present. Supt. Mccoy accompanies
the Pastor of the church in this village.
Mrs. Geo. W. Waite, living on Pros
pect street, escaped a terrible accident last
Saturday evening, by not losing her pres
ence Of mind. She had lighted a hanging
lamp with match, which she supposed
she had blown out and threw it on the floor.
1t lodged in the folds of her dress, setting
il on fire. and she was soon enveloped in a
sheet Of flame. Instead of running out
into the open air and screaming for help,
as most people would haye done, she helped
herself, smOthering and whipping out the
flames. The same coOlneSs and presence
of mind would often avert the most serious
accident. But all are not given the same
power of self-eontrol and self-possessiOn.
Standard.
Messrs. Frank Gee and J. A. Rogers Of
this place are now opening a new Drug and
Grocery House in Ashtabula. They have
been educated to the business, are young
men Of integrity and industry, and will
have the good wishes of many friends in
Painesville. PGiBesgilLe Telegraph.
They have opened up, too, and every
thing is as clean, tasteful and inviting as
their new surroundings and central loca1
tion could make it. Our namesake's en-
dorsement is sufficient Let them find
many friends in the place Of their adoption.
II Ashtabula has the power to draw from
her sister towns, let her not forget that en-
couragement is a factor of the contract.
Susan B. Anthony filled her appoint
ment here with her Iecture-''Woma
wants bread-not the ballot" to a rather
moderate audience. Her lecture, however,
was a surprise. Few, ifany, of our citizens
had heard her, and the newspaper pleas
antries had given her more reputation for
eccentricitIes and extravagances than as a
proper, able, and balanced lecturer. Many
of those who went to hear her were impelled
by something of the curiosity that would
lead them to go to see a kangaroo or hippo
potamus. These crude ideas, were, how
ever soon dissipated. She showed herself
to be well posted in political history and
especially the history of parties. She has
a clear, well-stored mind, and her general
informationis is used with ccnsummanatet tact
and ability for the benefit Of her cause.
Her wit and expression is chaste and her
points forcible. Her manner is good, ex-
cepting so far as gesticulation or the use of
her hands is concerned. She is hardly equal
ed among her sex as a well posted and salts
factory lecturer. The receipts of the house
were a little less than S3O-which sum was
made up to her. -
