The Excursion.

The beautiful steamer City of Detroit
arrived here at 12:45 O'Clock last Thursday,
with nearly 600 excursionists aboard from
Cleveland. The day was excessively warm
and the excursionists appreciated the cool,
shady groves on the bank of the lake,
where numerous tables were erected for
them on which to take refreshments. At
ter the arrival of the 1 80 p. m. train on
the A., Y. P. road from the south. the
steamer took out about 500 excursionists
from Ashtabula and vicinity, remaining
outside about one hour and half.
Allexpressed themselves we'll pleased with
The ride and spoke in admiring terms Of the
beautiful boat and its gentlemanly officers.
The steamer left here about five o'clock
with prospect Of a stormy Iassage back.
The excursion in all respects was grand
success, and more may be expected to fol.
low in quick succession.

KINGSVILLE.

Eds. Tel. The weather is glorious-for
harvesting-and all are happy. The fre-
quent drenching showers caused not a lit
tie ehafing-wheat would sprout, and corn
would be submerged by the vigorous
growth of weeds and grass. The fields
were too wet and soft to work in, and the
harvesting was in state Of suspension.
With many, the hauling of wheat began
with the Sabbath, and with the uninter-
rupted industry of Monday, the fields have
been nearly cleared. Already the threshing
machines are being looked for. and ere an
other week passes, their lively hum will be
heard in the land.
A young man, or boy, by the name Of
Thompson, living with a grandmother
named Cleveland, near North Kingsville,
was drowned on last Sabbath, aged 10
years. He was out with others in a boat,
and in spite of the entreaty Of his compan-
ions, insisted upon rocking the boat, and
succeeded in upsetting it. He was the on
ly one who found a watery grave. Attend
ing Sabbath school is good preventive Of
such calamities. We regret the disaster,
and sympathize with friends.
The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Hiekok are
enjoying their society with relish. Not
withstanding the arduOusness of their la
Dor, they are looking and feeling we'll.
They have become interested in their work
and their enthusiasm is kept alive by the
eagerness Of their pupils to acquire infor-
nation. Their acquisition creates an ap-
petite for imparting it to their brethren.
Next Sabbath, Mr.. Hickok will occupy
the desk Of the Congregational church in
Ashtahula, in the absence of the Pastor.
We have been treating the subject Of
oils, gas, &C., explorations hereabouts with
some fiippancy, as you perhaps are aware
Having been done for in many things IN
this vicinity, we are not perhaps to be
blamed for our incredulity on this subject.

A Pleasant wedding Reception

A very enjoyable social event occurred
last evening at the Stockwell House, and
many of the young people of Painesville
made merry until midnight, or later. Mr..
G. B. Chamberlain had on the day previous
been married at Ashtabula, to one of the
best known and most respected ladies of
that place, Miss Nellie F. Mathers, and as
the bridegroom is one of the most popular
men in the employ of Messrs. Williams
Brothers, who are engaged in getting up
the history of Lake and Geauga counties,
his many friends and fellow-workers decid-
ed to give the newly-wedded pair an infOr-
NAL reception. Invitations were issued to
a score or more of the young gentlemen
and misses of Painesville, anil the parlor
and ballroom of the hotel were well filled
in the evening by the guests. The salient
and particularly pleasant features Of the
reception were dancing. light but elegant
refreshments, and presentation from the
employees. The gift was a tastefully de-
signed and richly finished silver ice pitch
er, appropriately inscribed with a legend,
commemorating the occasion and with the
names of the donors. The party was one
of the most pleasurable given in Paines-
vile for many a day, and was a fitting
compliment to the bride and groom.

Now that the pouring rains that APP
peared fer while to deluge us, are appa-
rently over, why may We not have that
track Of the driving park again scratched
over and scraped DOWN. The sloping ends
suffered from the little rills that sought
the inner ditch, and worked them into
streaks-sueh as might be aptly compared
to corduroy. This is comparatively small
work, aud could be wholly relieved by the
drag and scraper. The sluiee for letting
of the water is liable to choking and needs
relaying with larger tile. This too. is an
an inconsiderable labor. We know it was
The last feather that broke the donkey's
back-that the gentlemen having the track
in charge have spent large sum, and do
not feel like bearing further expense. We
must not, however, lose what has been done
for the lack Of the mite for putting it in
complete condition. Let the hat again be
passed, and surely our horse men will con-
tribute what is now called for to give them
the continuous use of the track for the bal
ance Of the season. probably without fur
ther expense.

Marine News,

-371z cents per ton for coal to Chicago
has been paid during the past week by
shippers at the Harbor.
The river tugs appreciate the dullness Of
the times and the few that are in commits
sion are putting forth every effort to make
a dollar Two of them were in this har-
Dor last Sunday waiting for vessels, with
the purpose of towing vessels from here
through to Lake Huron.
The steam yacht Orazaba, owned by
Commodore Williams of Buffalo, put into
this Harbor last Tuesday night on her way
to Buffalo. She is 100 feet long and 13
feet beam, and her hull is built of steel
plates; her cabin is fitted up in the most
elaborate style, and is the most complete
boat of the kind on the great lakes. She
was on her return from cruise to Lake
Superior, and left here Wednesday morn
ing.
Business, at the Harbor of Conneaut
according to the Reporter, is looking up.
On Wednesday We are told-that no less
than six vessels were lying at the docks. p"
The Reporter does not say what class of
vessels they were, so we are not to infer
that they were either sail or row boats, or
fish boats. This is heavy increase of
business upon last year, as we were then
told by the Deputy Collector that there had
not been vessel in the Harbor during the
season of navigation. The star of Come
aut is surely rising.

"A ride through the cemetery and a
view of its well rounded surface, so beau
tifully dotted with evergreens and its sum
nit surmounted with its scattered vestiges
of the rescued forest, is really treat OF
some richness. While it excites the pleas
ures of taste, it gives a more favorable
feeling for the future, when these weary
bodies shall lie down to quiet rest. That
triumph Of chaste architecture that looks
down fromits elevated position. so beauti-
full in itself. and so touching in its assOei-
ations, reminding us of one who is remem-
bered for his kindly nature, and the sad
ness of whose departure was, and still is,
felt by every heart-elOquent as it is with
the story of his sincere and sensitive ma
ture, all awaken somber pleasure peculiar
and sacred to the spot. This train of re-
reflection does not escape the thought of
the eonjugal fidelity and affection that-was
moved TO rear so worthy monument to
the memory of him whose dust is its soli-
tary occupant, awaiting the promised res
urectiOn. The lovelest and most revered
place for the living to linger is the we'll
cared-for resting place of the dead. The
memory of loved-ones gone before, the
tender evidences so apparent on every hand,
of imperishable memory and gentle Offices
bestowed, the planting of flowers and the
watering of them, often with tears, and
the general air of taste and ornamentation
of the grounds in the free use of corporate
as well as private means, all entitle this
spot to our thought and presence.
While the brief and short ride is so full
of enjoyment, the thought arose, how
much could be added by moderate out
lay, to protract the drive and give new
and charming feature to this romantic aud
hallowed spot? A companion said to us
the other day. why can We not have the
drive way so extended as to include the
late annex, bounding the plateau overlook
ing the gulf formed by Hubbard Run and
its junction with Ashtabula creek. Could
not our cemetery trustees bear such an
outlay IN the grading OF such road along
the brow of the bank? How much it
would add to the pleasure of drive, and
what feature would the wildness of the
gulf scene below, in combination and con-
trast with the subdued one of the area
above, softened by the cunning hand of
man, obedient to rules of cultured taste
and refinement. The thought of our
friend touched responsive chord, and we
have been led by it to say so much in the
way Of hint to those who control the mat
ter. In mentioning it to a lady friend,
feminine ingenuity at once saw the way to
secure the means for carrying out such a
work. Let US have-was the thought
another fair and festival by the ladies of
the place and and another $500 or 5000
could be raised either to do the whole
work, or in conjunction with contributions
from the treasury of the Cemetery Associ-
ations, would be ample for bringing
about the object so much desired-of max
ing still more attractive the loved spot of
every citizen and every visiting stranger.
Who among our ladies will put the ball in
motion?

The trotting of Fields roam horse on
Friday-the third day-in the $50 race,
with such horses as Dave Hill, Harker, &c.
was rather unexpected. He was only Sc
cond where the time was 2:31. He took
second money-$75. His work is done
with steadiness-seldom breaking, and soon
catching without much loss. He is i'm
proving, and will probably soon make bet
ter time. Improvement in speed is the re-
suit of persistent practice, but 1t is gener-
ally slow process. The rate of improve
ment is not generally over two or three Sc
conds season.
The closing struggle-free for all-was
one of more than common interest There
was comparatively little disparity in the
speed of the five horses that started. Rip
Rap, belonging to Palmer of Youngstown.
took the lead in both the first and second
heats, and bid fair to take the race. In the
third heat he met with a misfortune, by
throwing shoe, which proved fatal to his
prospects. Being a converted PAGER and
requiring to be 'loaded, he was so Grip
pied as to be thrown out of geer, and
though his driver put him under q full run
with the intent of saving his distance; it
did not, however, answer the end, and he
was thrown out. This changed the fea-
lures of the race. Kinsman Boy-that
had been but fourth and third in position
was at once brought to the front, and he
took three straight heats, in 2:311S, 2:3C
and 2:8S, and the s15O purse.
A misfortune occurred to "Abdallah
Boy" the property of Whitney Of Cleve-
land. As we understood it, he got TO the
oat bin and ate to excess, producing bad
case OF founder. He was said to be horse
of considerable value, as was stated. ofnot
less than $4,000.
