Meeting called to order at 10 A. NJ. by the
President. M. Johnson was appointed critic
for the forenoon and M. J. Baird committee
on resolutions.
The first subject discussed was the Geog-
raphy of Wisconsin introduced by q. w
Mcintyre, Jacob Johnson occupying the
chair Mr. NJ. conducted a class exercise
and all were much interested.
Miss Blanch Baird conducted recitation
in History, and Miss Nettie Isaacson one in
Primary Reading. We think both Rotations
were somewhat injured by the spirit OF fun
which seemed to prevail in the classes. Fun
may be fun, but business is business.
NJ j. Baird then introduced the subject OF
Addition and Subtraction, and advanced
some good ideas. The critic made his re-
port and the meeting adjourned thirty min
utes for dinner.
AFTERNOON SESSION.

the season.

We publish in another place q very full and
satisfactory statement of the dOings Of the n.
G. railroad. For the reason that up to the
first of October, an omnibus line connected
with the Central Ohio at Wsrnock's, thereby
reducing considerably the passenger travel oD
the N. G., that part Of the showing since that
period 10 Q bettsr index to the real operations
Of the road. The statement shows conclu-
sively that the st. Clsirsville and Bellaire
Narrow Gauge is a success in every respect.
We regret to state that Walker Brock, a
well known stock dealer and farmer of Union
township, made an assignment to Nathan
Holloway, on Monday, for the benefit of cred
itors. His assets are little over 500 acres of
land and personal property, in all valued at
shout $28, 600, and liabilities are placed at
about the same. The immediate cause of Mr.
BIS assignment is on account of the in
solvency Of others for whom he is heavy in
dorser. 1t is exceedingly unfortunate that
men of Mr.. Br0ck's business standing and
capacity should be compelled to 60 into in
solyency. 1t is thought that the assets will
be sufficient to meet liabilities, and that cred
itors will suffer no loss. To that end Mr.. B's
wife, like q true woman, anxious to maintain
the integrity Of her husband, has united in
the deed, thus releasing her dover interest,
reserving only her homestead.

Rev. WIN. GAsroS, of Bellaire, delivered
the third lecture OF the free course" at the
Presbyterian church, last Friday evening,
subject-"Trsvels in Europe" The occasion
OF the lecturers visit to ''that proud Ole
World beyond the deep" was the Pan. Pres.
byterian Councils, held at Edinburg, last fall
The plan Of the lecture embraced trip
through ireland from Queenstown to Belfast
thence to Glasgow, Scotland; across Scotland
to Edinburg; thence through the entire length
of England to Brighton, taking in London by
the way; thence across the channel of the
French coast, and by rail thence to Paris
From France our tourists went to Italy, land
ing at Genoa; after . brief sojourn there they
went to Pisa, thence to Rome, thence to Ma
piles and Pompeii, when our lecturer left ul
contemplating the characters and wonders Of
bygone age, which the excavations in pro-
gress there, are developing. The theme wal
too extensive for . single lecture, but the
speaker managed to compress the essence Of
his trip through Ireland, Scotland, England,
France, and Italy, into an extempore talk Of
an hour and half. The lecture was very in.
structive, containing great deal Of informs
ton a. to the life and habits of the various
people of Q general character,
such - might be gathered by an intelligent
and obssrvsnt traveller upon cursory view.

Lycurgus Austin.

In the Bellaire Independent of last week,
we nnd the following sketch of the life of the
lste Lycurgus Austin, from, the pen of his
friend ]. s. Crafty, Esq, which we copy by
request:
Lycurgus Austin. Esq, departed this life
Friday, February 1st, at his residence in the
city OF Bellaire, Ohio, aged Sc years. Esquire
Austin was the sixth of seven sons of the late
Randall Austin, who early in the present cen
lury emigrsted with his family from the
State of New York to the valley of tie Ohio,
locating in the city of Wheeling, then in Old
Virginia. There he remained until 1898, and
there the subject of this sketch was born. Mr.
Randall Austin having purchased tract OF
somewhat improved land on the west bank OF
the Ohio river, just below what is now the
southern boundary Of the city of Bellaire,
moved to it during ihe above named year.
Lycurgus acquired what might be termed q
liberal English education. Early in life he
cultivated taste for reading on historical and
scientific subjects. Possessing as he did, q
strong and retentive memory, he soon &C
culnulated large fund of information.
Physically, Esquire Austin was a man of
commanding presence; of square and massive
build. His mind partook somewhat of the
characteristics of his body, being strong rath-
er than brilliant. Whilst all that has been
said in regard to his physical and mental quail
tiles are true, must add that never knew q
person possessed of a more sensitive nature.
This, in the judgment of the writer of these
lines, was one of the principal reasons why he
never reached higher position In civil life.
He lacked the element of self assertion, and
thus allowed men much his inferior to sup
plant him. He was man of strict morals;

Obituary.

Elrid Wilbur, son of Melinda J. and P. l..
Speck, deceased, and grandson Of Benjamin
howell, died at the residence of the latter
near Flushing, Feb. 4th, 1878. OF inf1amma-
tion Of the brain. For almost three months
previous to his sickness he had been q pupil
in what is known as Howel's school. The
attention paid him by his little school-matel
during his illness OF three weeks testified bet
ter than words to the love they bore him.
Wilbur was great little sufferer; the last foul
days he lived he lay in state of almost total
unconsciousness. Although only 5 years and
10 months old, he has left vacant place in
the school room, vacant chair in the home,
and who, except those who have been called
to part with their own little ones, can knew
the void in the widowed mothers heart?
