The association then took up and debated
large number of questions of interest only
to the fraternity. One of the resolutions
adopted was as follows:

1t requires no talent to find fault.
Any one can do it. IT is easy to
say that no one does right; that
every one looks out for Number
One exclusively. But it isn't easy
to look on the best side, to see that
there are thousands of honest, sin
cere men and women, countless
acts Of justice, charity and human
ity which outweigh all the grum-
bling Of all the grumblers, SO that
it is really only the finest dust in
the balance. Let us be fair and
cheerful. The world is not all
wrong. Everybody isn't a rascal.
Our neighbors are not trying to
cheat us. Even the GROWERS are
not half as d~isagreeablc as they
seem.

RED TAPE.
Half a mile this side Of Camp Joe
Williams a party Of refugees from North
Memphis, consisting Of four men, three
women and several small children,
sought and obtained SHELTER in a negro
shauty. A party Of gentlemen riding by
in a buggy were hailed aud begged to
send a doctor for one of the women who
was very sick with the fever. They rode
to camp and reported the case to the
physician in charge. 1t was raining at
the time, and he knowing the value Of a
good physician in these times, shrugged
his shoulders, said it was out Of his juris.
diction, and went back into his msrque.
Dr. Nall, one of the hard working young
assistant. physicians, overheard pert Of
the conversation, and although quite
worn out, promptly volunteered his SER
vices and went to see the suffering wo-
man. She already had black vomit and
soon after died. Her name was Lizzie
Whalen, residence corner of Concord
and Front streets, These are facts;
comment is unnecessary.

Excursions to Ashtabula Harbor.

The indications now are that Ashtabula
Harbor will be the objective point of a
great many excursions from Cleveland and
Detroit during the present season. Capt.
L. A. Pierce, the Cleveland manager Of the
Detroit steamers Northwest and CITY of
Detroit, was in town last Friday for the
purpose of ascertaining the inducements
here for running excursions from Cleveland
and Detroit. He was greatly pleased with
the HarbOr, its pleasant groves, drives, etc.
and regarded it as well adopted for the pur-
pose of making pleasant picnic grounds.
For those who want to visit the town ar
rangements can be made for special trains
on the railroads at very low prices. The
first excursion will arrive here about the
10th inst, after which a series of ten ex-
cursions will be given. These fine boats
arrive at Cleveland at e. m. daily, and
it is proposed to leave Cleveland at eight
O'Clock for Ashtsbula, which will be a run
of from three to four hours, and returning
atfour o'clock P. m. Of the same day. 1t
is said that Cleveland and Detroit excur-
sionists are tired Of visiting Put-in-Bay
and the Canadian shore and wish to visit
new locality. Arrangements will also
be made to take exeursionists from Ashta-
bula to Cleveland and Detroit.

THE COUNTY NEWS
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS.
KINGSVHLE.

Eds. TeI:-Corn weather has at length
come and its growth is steady and rapid,
and the prospect is that it will be at least
an average crop.
The click of the moving machine is
again heard in the land and the hay crop
which has been somewhat unpromising
has of late been improving to such extent,
that the yield is looked upon as fully up to
the average yield. Glover has fallen first
and the hay harvest may be considered as
fairly inaugurated.
Wheat is ripening apace, and a more
| than usually bountlful crop is now sure
uuless wet weather should overtake the
cutting and curing. Not a lisp has your
humble servant yet heard against the IA
Yorable prospect. As to what the price is
likely to be, is discussed, and the low f.
CURE of rs cents bushel is not uncom-
monty stated as minimum. The 'jettiss"
already constructed, will have something
to do with stimulating exports by the
Mississippi, and may be counted upon to
regulate prices. When the producers of
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, etc.,
may realize only a shrinkage of cts. a
bushel for carrying expenses, over produo-
ton will not be matter of so much appre-
hension.
Our people are again turning attention
lakeward for pleasure driving. The inn
spiraticn impaired by the view from our
windows, is none the less comforting, when
we are permitted to stand upon the banks
of the beautiful sheet while shimmering
in a setting sun, or from the induls sence
of laving in its clear, cooling waters. Fish
ing parties, too, find sport and amusement
in the thought of getting a triumphant
string with which to jog the envy of non
participants. The sport, however, does
not always come from the catch. 1t fur
nishes an excuse for party, and the young
folks when gathered on trip to the lake,
are not at loss for making it sufficiently
agreeable.
Mr.. John S. Stevens and lady of Phila-
delphia, have been spending a season
among friends in Plymouth, Sheffield and
Kingsville, and many pleasant reunions
have been the result. The best wishes fol-
low them to their home in the 'city Of
Brotherly Love-"
Mr.. Myron Whiting had q fall from a
wagon not long since that caused some ap-
prehension, but we are permitted to report |
him convalseent. --...l l---
A Miss Bryant is laboring here in the in
terest of Woman's Foreign Missions, who
has been traveller in Egypt. Turkey, etc
and is lady well calculated to please and
interest. The difference between Ameri- |
can women and those of other lands is
clearly drawn by her. She is worthy to be
heard.
Fourth of July will be glad OF the at
tentions paid to it by our people, onthe oe-
casion of home Festival in the interests

favor it with a shower on Sunday, proved |
abortive-a matter of disappointment. @.

Roads.

What nuisance the present mode OF
road working, out of the corporation, is.
As the roads are left by Winter full Of gul-
lies and pitch holes, so they must remain
for the first half Of the season, or until az
ter the harvest, when the Supervisor shall
have time to attend to this duty to the
public. II makes no matter how execrable
the roadway be, their is no relief. When
the leisure season comes, when the work Of
harvesting is over, they are put into con-
dition unified for use for the rest of the
season, as they are soft and unsettled. and
after worrying over them through the re-
mainder Of Summer, the Fall rains come
and find them in glorious condition for
travel, until frost and snow shall harden
them up for Winter. The tax, therefore,
is spent for no purpose, and the roads are
in the worst possible condition during the
whole travelling season, when they should
be at their best. The east road to the Har
Dor is the one we have in mind. In addi-
tiOn to the pleasure travel to and from the
Harbor by that route we now have the ad-
ditional travel induced by the completion
of the track about midway between the
Village and HarbOr. Its condition has
been shameful all the Spring. Soon, we
suppose, it is to be repaired, and. as We
learn, is to be tunpiked up, in eensidera-
ton of the increasing Importance of this
highway. Then until Fall, we suppose. it
will be in worse condition than it has
been thus far most of tie season. So We
go, and so We are probably bound to go,
until somebody undertakes the work of re-
form. Is it not fine field for our young |
Iaw-giver to signalize himself and perform
a work thar shall have a humane aspect
for both man and beast?
