Eds. Iel:-The Fourth at this place, as
usual, was very quiet, excepting, perhaps,
\ the juvenile demonstration, which OF course,
made some clatter. There was general
movement lakeward during the afternoon,
and the fresh wind rolled in the surf and
made it Jolly time for bathers. Refresh
ments were generally prominent feature,
and the grounds of Mr.. Holt and adjacent
were generally occupied. Among the
crowd we noticed Mr.. and Mrs. Moses
Pease. 1t was the fiftieth anniversary of
their marriage, but it was not generally
known, so the congratulations were not as
general as they probably would have been.
With the weight of three score years and
ten well laid on they are we'll preserved.
Their habits of diligence and industry have
not been forgotten.
In the evening, fireworks assured US that
103 years before something Of moment had
transpired. The boys of the Baptist S. s.,
comprising the class of Mrs. Gould had
quite display of fireworks at the yard Of
their teacher
Among the notable events connected with
the bathing at the lake was the sudden
caving in Of the mouth of Mr.. A. NJ. Bar
ton from the loss of his teeth, occasioned
by sudden push into the surf by one of
the mermaids that were playing about
among the crowd. Though it was his loss
it will no doubt be the gain Of some of your
dentists.
Cherry picking is all the rage. Sumner,
son of A NJ. Barton, fell from a tree and
Just escaped picket fence in his fall and
escaped without much harm.
Having appeased our appetites on green
peas, Davis & Mullett propose to try US on
string beans, and thus their products are
stringing along.
The weather though somewhat lowry
proves splendid for the growth of corn as
well as other vegetables.
A few shocks of wheat are to be seen,
but the rains have delayed the reaping
somewhat. The grain is generally well ri
pened and ready for the reaper.
While at COnneaut yesterday made call
at the Office of the Reporter, and found the
editor in chief on hand looking fresh and
invigorated though little travel-worn.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Crater living near
east line of Ashtabula township are very
much afflicted in the loss Of two very prom
Using boys aged some and 0 years. Dis
ease, diptheria. The oldest died Monday
and the other yesterday. They now have
but one child-a girl-living. The same
disease that has proved so fatal in so many
cases, especially among children.
Dingy, of the n. Kingsyille station, has
&c 81 pound boy, or anything OF that
sort. 1t is Dingy's faithful Lieutenant,
Will Strong, and the mistake in copying
the letter of our correspondent, is expos
ing him to a heap of fun, in putting the
saddle on the wrong horse. We make
haste to do justice all rOund-to Dingie,
in exposing him to an imprOpTiety while
innocent, of saddling Strong with his own
responsibility, and relieving our cores
pondent from the ieers consequent upon
putting a nine FOUNDER in the wrong house
hold-an offence of no common turpitude.
One of Kingsvilrs leading citizens, on
Tuesday morning last, met US on the street
with the inquiry-whO is it that has been
making such donkey of himself writing
from COnneaut for the TELEGRAPH for the
last two or three weeks. Our querist should
be little careful. This Winter has some
torpedo qualities, and he might take it in
to his head to go for him.

The beautiful eantata of the "Flower
Queen, recently given by the young Ia
dies of the Presbyterian church in Kings
vile, was so popular and successful that
a desire has been expressed by many to
haYe it repeated, and the rendering of it
in some of the adjoining towns is contem-
plated. The large and appreciative au-
dienee, and the well-merited praise which
it received on every hand give promise of |
ifs being a success elsewhere.
