Elder Day came home on Saturday
last, somewhat wearied, after q week Of /
close application and continuous thought
ful and painstaking labor at conference.
Each Elder has the good and welfare of
his district-preachers and peOple-to look
after, and as it so happens that to make
the needful changes, interests sometimes
clash, and not little care and iudieious
management become necessary to prevent
hardships, which each respective elder is
responsible for. The Elder, therefore, in
his WEAKNESS and in the unsettled eoDdi-
ton of the new relation among the church,
es, was glad to have a day OF quiet rest un-
der his own roof.
From letter from Conneaut, written
by W. z. Swift to the Cleveland Herald
we clip the following: Ger
tain it is that black boat small but Of
the requisite shape q. e. consult Cooper's
Red RoTer(. has been darting here and
there over the blue waters of the lake in
unreasonable hours, and she Is said to have
once made landing near Conneaut, and to
have appeared near the Witehing hour of !
midnight in q secluded spot at Ashtabula.
Whisky smuggling is said TO be the busi-
ness Of the wicked looking craft. Citizens
beware! By keeping q sharp lookout you
may haul down the skull and crossbones
flag Of the scamps, and do your country
and the sensation-hunting reporters
great service. Soberly, Ashta6ula, If
mistake not, was in times past made the
objective point Of smugglers from the Can
adian shore, and it may be that gang has
resumed operations in this locality, as was
reported to me by reliable citizen.

We mentioned the other day that the
celebrated stock horse ''Blazing Star" had
been in town. he has been favorite
among Ashtabula horsemen, and much in

see him. We are now glad to know that
he may be seen almost any day at our
doors. He has been bought by John SEQ

cured on application at Scoville's black
smith shop on Centre street. The beauty,
tOughness, and ready endurance and speed
Of this breed, have never been surpassed.
This has been settled by the number of
consecutive miles travelled on a wager in
given time by this horse, and the superior
working abilities of ali mis- stock in this
place and elsewhere. The black mare of
