- The reduction of the price Of lsgeE
beer in Cincinnati to three cents a glass or
i've cents q "schOoner," was brought about
by long controversy. A Chicsgo man
went there and began selling good beer ct
five cents "schooner" For long time tho
price has been FIVE cents a glass, and of
''schooneE" ten cents. Therefore, whom the
Chicago man advertised that he sold "schOo-
net' for I've cents, it produced almost ss
much sensation in all circles of CiDcin natl
business and social life az If the price of
bread bad been reduced ODe-hsH- The oth>
er retailers conspired to crush the foreigner
By cutting of his supplies, and the Gin
natl brewers nanimously refused to sell beer
by the barrel to a man who would sell it for
five cents a SCHOONER" The man from
Chicago transferred his patronage TO brew
er in Covington. just across the Ohio river,
and obtained beer that great many drink
crs thought to be better at five cents
"schooner" than the Cincinnati beer ct
ten cents. But the Cincinnati brewers bull
dozed the Covington brewer 80 that IN lit
tie while the reformer could not get beer in
Coyington. Nothing dsuntcd, he then sent
to Milwaukee for his supplies, and, notwith-
standing that he had to pay freight. he yet
sold ''scooper" for five cents NOW the
Milwaukee brew enjoys reputation hsTdly
inferior to that OF CIncinnatis ana the saIe OF
i, in Cincinnati at half t5e price OF CiDcin-
natl beer was not at all relished The Gin
oippati brewers made a statement Of the facts
TO the Milwaukee brewer, and requested him
to sell no more beer to the Chicago man. That
Milwaukee brewer wrote back that he bTewed
his beer to sell, and when anybody paid him
what he asked for it he did not care what
the purchaser sold il for. The Cincinnati
brewers realized that they were besten, and
reduced the price of barrel of beer to s6
and of keg TO 81 so, whereupon all the re
taiIors reduced the price by the mug to three
cents.

Friday, June %, while Eleanor f. Wood,
daughter OF John and Rachel Wood, of No.
5l2 Orange street, was out in the yard for
a few moments, an insect Of some kind lit on
one of her temp pies and s.ung her. She hast>

into the house she thought nothing more of
it until some time afterwa-d she felt violent
itching pain iu the region of the wound,
which was followed by swelling in the face.
All remedies known were applied, but failing
to give any relief, a physician was called in
and, afterward two other physicians were
called. All the known remedies were sp~
piled, but without avail, and on Friday after
noon, between 8 and o'clock, Miss Wood

J. b. BaldWin's, by the Jurors; inviting
Judge Woodbury., the Clerks of the
Court, and Deputy Sheriff B. W. Bald
win, Prosecuting Attorney E. B. Leonard,
and the County Commissioners. Owing
to the Bar meeting, the company did not
get together until about ten O'Clock, and
good supper was provided, such as sure
lycan be gotten up at the "American Ho-

Raising Funds for a Journey.

A young man frem the country, seven
teen years old, came to the city Wednesday
afternoon with load Of produce from his
fathers farm. Disposing of this he also
attempted to sell the horse and wagon, and
then, interesting friend in his scheme, he
drew from the savings hank sum Of mon
sy which had been deposited there for him
by his father. and the two started for New
York. At Ashtabula tleZ. were arrested
upon a telegram from this city and brought
back. The boys father was at once tels-
graphed for. Upon returning to the city
they were taken to the Central station,
where the matter was finally satisfactorily
settled and the boys given their liberty.

Educational Assoointion.

The Ashtabula Educational Association
met in the High School room, Ashtabula,
9th inst. Called to order by the Pres,
N. L. Guthrie.
E. B. Wilson, Of Kingsvills, read a pa
per, How shall We Increase the EfficisD-
cy Of Grammar in our Schools? he
claimed that the present system of teach
ing English Grammar, especially in the
district schools, is unnatural, nlogically
and radically wrong; that the object
sought was not to get the thought out of
language, but te put the thought into it.
Positive injury, he said, was done to a
child's mind in burdening it with deini-
tions and their properties, before the re-
latiOns Of those parts are taught; that
the analytical method is the only logical
method-to begin with 4 sentence and
study its elements. The essay showed
original thought, and was we'll written.
Quite an animated discussion arose
among the teachers as to their different
degrees of success attained; but the pre-
Vailing opinions were in favor of the
views expressed in the essay.
The afternoon session began with dis
discussing the plans Of the Executive Com
mittse Of the County Institute, which
were to substitute four weeks Teachers
Normal School in place of the usual In
stitute- 1t was claimed that teachers re-
csive little benefit from Institutes as OF
dinarily conducted, and that if four
weeks session of continu ous school were
substituted, in which teachers are re-
qulrsd to study the best methods of
teaching and rscite to able instructors,
much more benefit would accrue.
The Rev. G. W. Phinnsy, Of Geneva,
then delivered lecture on "What does
the Examination Of Teachers in Ashtabu-
la County Teach us?" in which he dwelt
on the deficiencies of teachers applying for
certificates.
Supt. Jones, of Erie, addressed. the As
sociation on Teaching versus Telling"
His lecture was largely illustrated by
drawings on the board, by which he show
ed the tendency of teachers falling into the
practice Of telling too much and teaching
too little. He showed that the true teach
sr directs the work of the pupil instead of
doing it himself.
The session was well attended and full
of interest. The meeting adjourned to
meet on tAs second Saturday in May.

But passing with nice inspection over
all the prodigiss Of Greece, down t0 the

Surrounded with the jealous worshipsrS
Of the sacred Nine-WithOut the Bible to
guide him, he taught the sxiStSncs of God
the Immortality of the soul-futurO re-

. persPicuity that will seldom be claimed

also was manifested in the clsarSst posi-
BILE manner. When arraignSd before the
judges for teaching doctrines opposed to
the gods, he protested that he had made
no direct attack upon their gods, but had
taught At all times, at home-in the army
or on the forum of State, those practical
virtues that adora society, and render its
votsries happy both here and hereafter.
Before the day of execution came, his
friends bought up the jailsr, and told Soc
rates to escape, but he met the proposal
with scorn. When the hour arrived, his
attendant handed him the poisonous
draught, which was taken with his cool re-
mArk-'T suppose this is libatiOn to the
gods" A few moments before he expired,
friend inquired as to where they should
bury him. Anywhere you please, If you
can catch me-" said the philosopher and
quietly departed.
