In our first experience as Financial Manager of
the Mt. Carroll Seminary, it devolved upon rs to
purchase Pianos for use of the School. IN WHICH
transaction we became cognizant of the swindle,
1--WE cannot call it by a milder nan-e), practiced
upon the public in the sale of Instruments. We at
once resolved to correct the wrong, so far as in
our power, and at the same time subserve our
own interest i'll encouraging the study ofmusic,
by making 1t comparatively easy for our pupils
and patrons to secure Instruments. To this end,
we offered to furnish Pianos, etc., to our music
pupils at "CosT," to us. Thus began Il trade that
has become 50 extensive as to embrace ali classes
as our customers. extending as il does from New
Hampshire to California and even to Japan.
With the amount of sales made, our facilities
have increased till we command any make in the
country, and the very lowest Trade prices. We do
not now sell at Cost but we sell at wholesale
prices to any and all persons ever in any way. CON
nected will the school, and this gives great tar
gains to purchasers, leaving n re sonable margin
of profits to us. To those newer patrons of this in
%stitution, We can give discounts from manufac-
turers' lists of 50 to so per cent. Instruments are
all sent directly from the mandatory. hence
customers can be supplied with equal facility,
East, West, North or South. WarrantecS of five

turn our thanks to the patrons of Pre-

Hoping you will follow in the same
footsteps for years to come and we will
have one of the banner counties in the

Collision on the L. S.&M. S. BY.

About 4 o'clock last Friday afternoon,
snow pillow train, composed of a snow plOw
ear, two locomotives and a caboose. COLI
ded near the round house, at this place,
with the first section of freight train No.
so. The snow pillow train, came up from
Erie on the south track in the morning,
and was returning on the north track,
aud running at a rapid rate when 1t
struck the rear of the freight. There were
five men on the snOw-plow car; Geo. Clem-
ems. Joseph Bryant, Joha Sutter. Tim
Sullivan and Joseph Warren; all of Erie.
Clemens and Bryant we're both killed,
and Suttsr was badly injured about the
back and Limos; Warren escaped with
mashed finger; Sullivan was injured in
one OF has legs; Arthur Jones, fireman on
the first LOCOMOTIVES, sustained a COM
pound fracture of the right arm.
The men who were killed, each have
family; one wife and eight children, and
the other wife and two children.
The scene at the wreck was one of great
confusion. Three cars of train No. %,
bound west, that was passing at the
time of the collision, we're thrown from
the track; four cars on freight No. so, in
Guiding the caboose, were piled up and
broken; and the freight, consisting of corn
IN bulk, and pork in barrels, we're scat
tered about; the snow pillow and first To-
comotive were badly broken and injured
The second locomotive was not seriously
damaged The wreck was cleared away
before midnight sufficiently to allow trains
to pass.
Who is responsible for this accident.
we are unable to find out. 1t is said a
flAg-mAn was sent back to signal the
train, but owing to the clouds of snow
that were flying, it was impossible for him
to be seen by the men on the train; had he
placed torpedo on the track, it is said
the engineers would not have heard its ex-
plosion, as the snow would have smoth-
cred its report. 1t was impossible for the
enginsers to see ahead, as their view
was obstrueted by the plow, which was
much higher than their heads.
1t has been suggested, that a tube ex-
tending through and ahead of the plows,
to enable the engineer to see what was
ahead of him, would be an improve
msnt upon the present blind plan of
running q railroad snow plow.

To All Who are Interested in the Forth
coming History of Ashtabula County,
card From THE PUBLISHERS.

A CARD FROM THE PUBLISHERS.
The gathering of facts for the history
of Ashtabula County, soon to be published,
has been in progress for several months,
and many of the township histories have
been completed and have received the en-
dorsement of COMMITTEES appointed by the
Historical society. Notwithstanding this
fact, it is likely that our statisticlans may
have, in some instances, failed to procure
exaeting facts of value TO the history. We
therefore extend to all who may wish to
do so, the request to send to US at Ashta-
bula at once any such omitted matter.
The facts-we particularly desire to obtain
are such as relate to first settlements, to or
ganization of townships, schools, churches,
societies, etc.-or any matter which treats
of early events.
If our statisticians failed to call upon
any one in possession of matter of this
kind or any matter pertaining to the his
tory, we shall feel obliged if the same be
forwarded to us without delay.
1t is not to be expected, of course, that
we shall be able to publish the personal
history of every family, in the county or Of
every subscriber, nor that we can treat at
any great length of personal incident. We
therefore request that care and discretion
be used in forwarding material to select
that class of facts, which shall be of real
Importance and interest to the history, and
to discard that which is merely of personal
interest to the writer.

Altogether, the work performed by the
Convention may producs much good, as
one of its prime objects was to secure the
unifeatiOn Of the temperance work in the
county. so that each locality will strength

becoming affiliated in any way with the

had for learning whsther the advantages
accruing would pay the cost. was strong
and decided; and the determination TO
perfect and make permanent the county
organization seemed equally strong, and
in this the delegations worked in harmony.

qussted to publish the proceedings of this
convention. F. A. PErTIBoNE, Sec'y.

County Temperance Convention.

Pursuant to published call, Ashtabula
County Temperance Convention met at
Smiths Opera House. Ashtabula, on Fri
day, Feb. 1, 1878, at II am. c. W. ia
ques was chosen temporary Chairman; and
aftsrsappointing Of Committee to arrange
aprogramns Of business, Convention ad-
journed till afternoon,
Called to order at 2 p. m. Committee
on Programme reported. Prof. ]. Tuck
erman of Austinburg was elected Chair
man, and F. A. Psttibone of Ashtabuls
Secretary. A Committee on Resolutions
and one on Constitution and Bylaws
were then appointed; and while they were
out, the roll Of townships was called, and
delegates present reported the progress and
condition of the temperance work in their
respective townships summary OF
which reports would seem to indicate that
the temperance movement is gaining
strength throughout the county.
Committee on Resolutions presented
their report, which was taken up sertGttn.
The first resolution provided for the organ
ization of County Temperance Society
which should be auxiliary to the State or
ganization. A motion was made to strike
out that portion which made it thus aux
iliary. This called out considerable dis
cussion, in which W. H. Hubbard, E. j.
Pinney, Col. Camp and others took part;
and the molten to strike out was finally
carried At this point Prof. Tuckerman
was obliged to leave; and S. F. Higley OF
Geneva was chosen as his successor pro
tenn. The other resolutions were then dis
cussed, and amended TO such an extent
that their authors failed to identify them;
and finally the resolutions and all action
upon them were eliminated entirely from
the proceedings of the Convention.
Committee on Constitution and Bylaws
presented report. The Constitution sub
mitted was, so far as applicable, in con-
formity with that Of the State organiza-
ton, and was adopted with the exception
of the provision in Article 1 making the
County Society an auxiliary Of or subordl-
nate to the State organization, and one or
two other unimportant changes. The Con-
stitution as adopted provides for semi
yearly meetings, on the first Tuesdays of
May and November. OF the Bylaws
adopted am unable to give synopsis,
not having a copy.
Committs was appointed to nominate
officers for the ensuing year; and while it
was out, Col. Camp Of Cleveland was
called on for speech, and responded with
brief history of the temperance work and
its results in Cleveland, closing with an ur-
gent appeal for determined and united
action along the whole line, in order that
success may be made secure.
Committee on Nominations reported as
follows: For President, Prof ]. Tucker
man of Austinburg; for Corresponding
Secretary, c. W Jaques of Ashtabula; for
Recording Secretary, D. Loomis of Come
nut; for Treasurer, A. C. Stephens of Ge-
neva; and these nominees were elected by
acclAmation.
Geneva was chosen as the place for the
next Convention, to be held on the first
Tuesday in May. Voted, that all local
temperance organizations in the county be
invited to participate in the next Conven-
ton by elscting delegates and complying
with the Constitutional provision requir.
