FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS.
KINGSYHLE.

Our Kingsvills correspondence, devoted
mainly to the decoration proceedings, came
in rather late for the amount Of room de-
manded. As we had already decided to
postpone very dsslreable portion Of Our
own proceedings, it was out Of our power
to make place for it. We make an ex-
tract or two.
About the time the procession was start
ing from the park-by reason of some care
less driving, Mrs. W. R. Stewart, was
knocked down and trampled upon by a
horse. A dislocatsd shoulder and other in
jurieS, for time raised serious apprehen-
sions for her welfare. Though suffering
somewhat, it is stated that she is getting
along favorably.
Just 10 years ago-Juns Ave had a
heavy frost at night, while the morning set
in like an August day. To-day the tenn
perature is crisp, and may lsad to another
June frost.
The ladies' of the Presbyterian church
will give a strawberry and ice cream festi-
val, on Friday evening the 7th, at the

Mr.. T. B. Tuller has put into his livery
stable some very fine carriages from the
shop of Frank Fickinger, Ashtabula.
About o'clock Friday morning, vast
wave rolled in from the lake, completely
dsluging the beach and bank. The lake
was perfectly still at the time. Dwellers
on the shore say the wave rolled higher
than any one Of the kind heretofore OBJ
served.
A large farm barn belonging to Mrs.
Pauline BuTdick, and situated on the east
and west road in Trumbull, near Mr., Fris-
bis's residence, was burned about midnight,
Tuesday. The fire was not discovered till
the whole structure was in flames. Moth
ing in the barn but some poultry. An in
cendiary fire, no doubt. Insured in the
Ohio Farmers for $500.
Daniel Dodge, a venerable citizen Of
Trumbull, died on Monday in the 91st year
of his age, and his funeral is to be attend
ed at one o'clock to-day.
Mr.. Alonzo Call, of Trumbull, was told
by his neighbors that smoke would kill
''hen lice" He set some straw on fire in
his poultFy-houss, and it worked to charm.
1t killed all his hens, including tArss set
ters, killed all the lice, burned up the
house, and came near burning his pig pen.

out hen lice, this is the most sffsctual.
Mr.. L. B. Woolever says he has $50
acres Of growing wheat, which now prom
ises a splendid yield. He has both winter

The road is in better condition than ever
before for economical working, and the
earnings since February 1st, 1878, so far
this year, show very gratifying increase
over the corresponding months of 1877.
In consequence of the large deficit in
the earnings for the six months ending
October 1st, 1877, the Company was un-
able to meet the interest due that date, on
the first mortgage bonds, which therefore
defaulted.
Steps were Immediately taken by the
first mortgage bondholders looking to a
foreclosure of this mortgage.
Several meetings of the bondholders
have since been held, which have resulted
in the adopting by them of plan Of reor-
ganization which will be submitted at this
meeting.
This plan has the approval of the hold
ers of large majority of the first mort
gage bonds of the Pennsylvania Company,
holding the second mortgage bonds, and OF
most of the large stockholders. 1t is re-
commended as the best mode obtainable
for the settlement of the Company's diff
culties.
In consideration of its adoption by the
parties interested, the Pennsylvania Com
pany has agreed to renew the lease of the
road with the reorganized Company, and
to reduce the rent of equipment to an
amount which will effect a saving in that
item alone of some $4,000 or $4,000
per annum.
Since the commencement of negotiations
for reorganization, the bOndholders having
consented to accept the face Of their 'Octo-
Der coupons in currency, the interest due
October 1st. 1877, was paid in that manner
on April Goth, 1878, out of the fund in the
hands of the Pennsylvania Company, leav-
ing the interest due April 1st, 1873, still in
default, as well as all installments due on
the sinking fund.
In the place OF reorganization, it is pro,
posed that the bOndholders shall, in addi,
ton to reducing the rate of interest to 9
per cent, also fund the interest from Octo
Der 1st, 1877, to August 1st, 1878, taking in
payment therefor preferred stock of the re
organized Company.
With this and the prospective increase
of earnings, it is hoped that the reduced
rate of interest on the first mortgage bonds
can be met currently thereafter.
Respectfully,
WIN. p. SHINN,
President.

A Slight Collision.

As the large schooner David Vance was
being towed through the bridge last Mon
day she struck the little schooner Jessie
that was lying by the dock, breaking away
some of her fore rigging and crushing a
good sized hole in her port prov. Had the
JeSsie's lines not parted she would have
received severe damages. The Vance ss-
capped with only slight injuries.
The cause of this accident is owing to the
narrowness and curve in the river at this
point. A large steam barge was lying just
above and the Jessie below the bridge, both
on the inside Of the curve. The Vance was
being towed as cautiously as possible past
these vessels, but owing to the shorthess Of
the curve the tug could not swing her in
time to clear the Jessie. This is not the
first accident of the kind that has occurred
at this point in the river; they are occur
ing every season when the river is filled
with vessels as it was on last Monday, and
they will continue to occur so long as this
bend in the river is left as it is. All Of our
citizens are favorable to the prosperity of
Ashtabula, and the prosperity of Ash.abu-
la depends in great measure on its Har-
bor This bend in the river is the greatest
curse to our Harbor, and many vessel own
ers shun this point on account of it. These
are times when vessels under the most ia
vorable circumstances can hardly make the
low freights meet their expenses. and it is
not much of an inducement for them to
come here when they are liable at each trip
to have few hundred dollars to pay for
damages. Let our citizens bear these
points in mind when the vote for the Har-
Dor improvement is taken.

The increase in cost of road since the
last annual report, amounting to $751;

in part payment of the construction debt
due them, and the balance being for sun
dry small items, such as right of way, fenc-
ing, etc.
The increase in balance of income ac-
count, amounting to s45, 1850, represents
the deficit in the amount of net earnings
required to pay the interest on the first
mortgage bonds during the past year.

Harmon, notwithstanding the rather by
situation of his place, it is one of the most

peripatstics, called tramps. He is over

The work on that bit of road to the
Harbor bridge, is something of the kind
our democratic friends call radical. The
lay of the road is changed, being thrown
oyer to the north and west side, and con-
siderable filling done to even up the slope,
by cutting down the banks on the east side.
Besides widening and Strengthening, it is
reduced to better grade, and worked up
in Commissioner Starkweather's unequaled
manner. The change and improvement is
very great in the portions completed, and
the whole when done, cannot but meet with
a hearty endorsement of the public.
