Judge Sherman took trip last week
to Aurora, Cayuga county, n. Y, with his
daughter Zillah, who has. entered Wells
Seminary as 3 pupil. The Judge returns
with high appreciation of the attractions
Of the place. as to natural beauty, artl-
fetal taste and the refinement and culture
Of its citizens. The lake with its limpid
water and scenery, gives fine effect to the
landscape view.
Mr.. George E. NsttletOn was at St.
Paul, at the State Fair, and speaks Of it as
big thing-surpassing anything of the kind
ever brought out. He there saw samples
of grain ahead Of anything he ever saw.
For instance, a sample Of winter wheat
was brought away that weighed IS pounds
to the bushel. and oats that weighed 90
pounds to the bushel. Mr.. VIM. Nettleton
he reports as in good health.
Henderson & Bents Concert Organiza-
ton will entertain the citizens Of Ashtabula
on Monday evening next-2Sd, at the Opera
House. The troupe is new in name to US.
but the eulogistie terms in which the press
speaks Of the individual performers, and
their accredited connection with Gilmore's
Band, leads to very hopeful conclusion
that we shall have satisfactory concert,
and that our citizens will not be disap-
pointed in the expectation that their new
friends will acquit themselves wOrthily.

Speaking of the late encampment the
PainesvilIe Journal says:-Of one thing
Ashtabula may rest assured-inany future
competition for the honor of having q
Regimental Encampment, Painesville can
safely be counted out. The investment
don't pay.
As whole the Regiment is a fsir-look-
ing, weIl-drilled body of men-with one or
two companies, the members of which are
wonderfully proficient in robbing hem
roosts and orchards. In justice to Lake,
Geauga and Ashtabula counties, it might
be added that those entitled to carry of
the bonors for these latter accomplishments
did not come from within their limits.
"A case of body snstching in Wnlough-
10y caused great excitement, the search
having been carried on at Cleveland. The
body taken was that Of Mr.. Edwin French.
It was conveyed to Cleveland on Monday
night last, and was found under the floor
Of the dissecting room of the Homeopathic
College. The faculty Of the college were
each arrested, and among them DR.. ]. E.
Smith-our J. EdwRrds-on the charge of
secreting the body-he having attempted
to mislead the officers and denied that the
body was on the premises. The robbery
was effected while the grave was under sur
veilance the body drawn from the grave
in short interval between visits, dragged
several rods to the road and carried off in
buggy.
The article copied by US week or two
ago from the Standard about an encounter
between son Of Capt. Harvey, of Say
brook, and that venerable old gentleman,
in which he had an arm broken, is now de-
MED by the Standard. Our friends Of the
Standard probably do not mean in nom
political matters, to misrepresent facts,
but wouldn't it be well enough to use
little more caution in making assertion
whether the articles are political or other
wise? If we are to act as sponsor for the
concern it is not pleasant to be dodging
and denying its assertions every week.
Another of its assertions this week, is that
James Reed & Son headed petition to
Capt. Stiles, &C., and 1--WE were playing
the hypOcrite." That is not gentlemanly,
to say the least, when untrue.
I'VE should Judge from the tone of some
of our independent journals that some
body had been, previous to the county con-
vention, making the charge of express and
explicit bargaining" between one of the
candidates for the clerkship and also one
of the candidates for sheriff, and the young
man-lawgiver for this county. By the
confident way in which this JAek'o-lantern
is set up and demolished there was proba-
bly, some fear that somebody did not un-
derstand the thing, and were liable to
reach wrong conclusion. This is none
the less probable, for the reason that the
Tines adopted the conclusion, and endors-
ed the Responsibility" the authority and
the gravity with which the public mind
was disabused. No one could read in
telhgentlY that disclaimer and the COM
ment of our friend upon it without realiz-
ing and.at the sametime admiring the high
degree of serenity and compOsure of the
writer's mind.
