 A CLEAR INFERENCE.


 It is too true that most of the patented medical preparations thrown on the market enanate rom who lay no just claim to a professional ed ucation and who are, consequt ntly, totally unqual flied to originate a really preparation But we have the pleasure of stating that we know of one except ot Rondout N Y. the dlscoyerer and proprietor Of the popular medicine entitled the Fayotite Remedy He is not stranger in this region Of country, but a regular and fayorabty known physician and sur geon of Rondout where he has practiced his profess sion for eight years with a degree of success which has surprised not only the general community, but also other members of the medical fraternity Dr. Kennedy is a graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of tine city Of New York. and was tor three years a surgeon the United States army during our late war. He has also been member for SC veral years of the Ulster County Medical So ciety As q surgeon he has no superior in the State being singularly bold skilllful and nnprecedeht- edly successful in his operations. Is not fair inference we ask that when surgeon who has oper- ated in vital cases and never lost one ot them, assures the people that the Favorlte Remedy Scrofuous affections, Bilious disorders Kidney Complaints Constipation of the Bowels, as well as all that large clnss of ills peculiar to women-that they simply take him at h.S word and are cured aC cording to promise? Ill fact the Doctor himself does not hesitate to admit that part of his in surgery is due to the of the Fayorte Remedy in the after treatment of the patient, which pre- peaatea the return of the abnormal formations re- moved by the knif by giving tone and strength to the system of his patients-which had become de biltated and weakened by disease.
 In conclusion, we hope that no one who may be suffering from any of the diseases for which the Favorite Remedy is reconmGnded Will hesitate moment to secure bottl8Aand test the truth or what we herein alege. We are willing to pledge acty for it that none will be disappointed or deceived.

TERRIFIC SToRM!-Just as we were going
to press Friday afternoon, at half past one
O'Clock, a storm came up from the north
west and struck our town, doing cOnsidera-
BILE damage.
The tin roofs were blown of Talcott's
and Wsrren'S blocks and carried over the
buildings on the opposite side of the
street. Talcott is the heaviest loser, as
the water poured in torrents through the
two upper stories and gave the hardware
below a thorough wetting. The Masonic
Lodge room in the third story, is more or
less injured by the water.
The Court House roof is very seriously
injured, besides having the balustrade
around the roof and five chimneys blown
down. The Court room was flooded. A
large tree in the Court House yard was
blown down and several trees broken off.
Miss Jennie Davidson was on the street
near the Court House as the chimney and
wreck of the roof came down and she had
very narrow escape, some o. the bricks
touching, but not seriously injuring her.
There was some very sharp lightning,
but at this time, have no report of damage
by it.
One of the front windows of Hervey's
music store was blown in, giving the pi-
amos shower of glass and water.
Chimneys were blown off Northway &
Fitch's office; G. F. Woods store and the
Miss Deans dwelling; the latter was
knocked off by part Of the roof Of War
ren's block, which was blown across the
street and over their house like a sheet of
paper.
Many trees were blown down in the vii

ell last Wednesday evening, at which all

ting an iron railing and curbing around
the new Main street we'll.
The contract with the Ashtabula Gas
Light Co. for gas and oil for street lamps
for one year from the first inst, was
read, and that part of the contract which
requires the Village to make repairs when
the lamps are broken or injured by mali
cious persons, was ordered TO be stricken
out, thereby causing the Gas Co. to make
and keep in repair all the lamps.
The Mayor reported he had an inter
view with the Superintendents of the Ash
tabula s. PittSbuIg Ry., and Franklin Di
vision of the L. S. & NJ. S. Ry. Co.'S, in
regard to the matter of placing Aagmen at
Prospect and Center streets crossings, and
that said Superintendents declined to
grant the request as they did not consider
the placing of fiagmen at these crossings
an act that would accomplish the object
sought. There upon the Committee on
streets was instructed to confer with the
said Superintendents' and ascertain what
they would consider the necessary precau-
tons to prevent accidents to life and
limb.
The Mayor reported there were several
streets in the corporation bearing the
same names and recommended a change.
The matter was referred to the Street
Committee.
The matter Of furnishing Officer SeoYille
with a new uniform, club, badge, and
nippers was referred to Police Committee.
The Mayor and Councilmen Haskell and
Call, were appointed a committee to ex-
anime the ordinances and report upon the
matter of having them cOdifed and
printed.
On motion the Mayor, Solicitor anG
Councilman Hitchcock were appointed a
committee to prepare an ordinance to pro-
hibit bathing in certain parts of the
Village.
The following ordinances were read for
the first: To amend sec. six of an ordi-
nance to create the Office of City Solicitor,
and to provide for the election and COM
pensation of such Solicitor; To establish
the grade and regulating the construction
of wharves and docks at Ashtabula Har-
Dor; To establish a sewer district &c be
known as Station Street Sewer District

A resolution to appropriate certain prop
erty for the improvement of Ashtabula
Harbor, which was read at the meetings of
July 9Th and 9th, was read for the third

Eds. 1sl.-Trips to the lake are quite
the order Of the day during this heated
season. On Thursday last. Prof Treat
and lady, Chas Chamberlin and lady, F.
Niles, Laura Burnett, Jerry Kennear, &C.,
being here from Geneva, drove out for a
trip to the beach. Bathing dresses and
head gear, were imprOvised, and the more
ampbibiOus of the party found their way
into the aquious fluid without delay and
with great enjoyment. Refreshments
played a rather heavy part, but stall feed
ing and boa constrictor-torpor, was not
perhaps the test condition necessary for
activity in looking up shelter from the
rain storm that followed, but nothing
good humor found vent in the midst of
the pattering drops.
Prof. Treat and lady spent the Sabbath
among old frieds here abouts.
Scarce wheatfeld can be seen but that
bristles with its shocks of grain. Nearly
every one says the quality is extraordinary
gOod-even better than last year.
Corn, oats and potatoes are running on
fast time, due to the series of refreshing
showers, so seasOnably supplied.
The term cherry -pickers is in the mouth
of every one. The wagon loads from the
south thst came in for the fruit, opened
the way for its application and use. This
very day, broken legs of two different per-
sons are reported from falling from the
trees. The fractures were in both cases
were reduced by DR.. Parshall. They will
be all right for another experiment when
another season shall roll around.
The house Of Patrick M'Taggert, down
in the Dibble settlement, came near burn
ing up to-day. Fire took from project
ing stove pipe from the ell part near the
gable Or upright. Taking in the attic, it
went pretty much all through under the
roof. By the timely presence of George
Morse and Porter Dibble, with the assis-
tanee of others who soon took the alarm,
the house and contents were saved.
The Townsend Family Dramatic Com
pany, appear here again on Wednesday
evening. They are popular troupe.
The Presbyterian girls come out with ice
cream and a good time generally, on the
evening of Tuesday the ED ult. They
meet at the house and on the grounds of
E. M. Curtiss. Proceeds go towards de-
fraying expenses likely TO be incurred in
the new arrangements to be made for the
better accommodation Of the singers in
the church.
Mr.. H. A. Eastman, in jumping from
his wagon, last Saturday, had his feet
caught in the lines, and fell headlong.
He afterwards went to the farm and
pitched a couple Of loads of hay, when all
at once his ribs gave way, or some other
important function gave out. He has
been compelled since to keep very quiet.
He is improving, but still required to be

A Thiers Confession.

information from a reliable private
source has been received. as we go to press
this afternoon, regarding the 1st National
bank robbery, which occurred in COnneaut-
vile, Pa, in the Fall of 1875, being no less
than the confession OF James Crockett, Of
Linesyille, Pc, one of the participants in
the crime. 1t will be remembered that D.
u. Williams, cashier OF the bank, was found
one Monday morning in the bank, bound
and gagged and the safe rihed of its con-
tents. Williams with two or three other
men we're arrested for the crime-Williams
being convicted and sentended to the penl-
tentiary for term of years but was par
doned year or two ago. Crockett was
Swallowed by detective for several months
and was finally arrested while negotiating
the sale of some of The stolen coupons, his
trial being set for next September. but was
out on bail. Crockett claims the money
was taken from tie bank during Sunday
afternoon, and was entrusted to the care
of q man named Foster Gear, who drove to
Linesville that night, with the money in
satchel, thence going to Canada, where
Crockett was afterwards sent to recover
and conceal the money. Gear died last
Winter, and it was rumored at that time
he had made confession of the crime but
such was not the case. During the June
races in Meadville Crockett robbed P. o.
son, Of Conneautville, of oyer $50 and was
arrested, CONVICTED and sentenced to Jail
in Meadville. Mr.. Olson is the man who
drove Crockett to Linesville the night of
the robbery, not knowing his customer was
one of the bank thieves-the robbery not
being discovered until next morning. 1t
is said man not heretofore suspected is
about To be arrested on the strength Of
Crockett's confession. Further develop

Eds. Tel:-The NesCs seems to take a
great deal of pains to make it appear that
one Of the Council is very anxious to push
Harbor matters regardless. While he
quotes in full the saying of another Coun-
Gilman who had twice before voted for the
same resolution, that he, all at once, goes
back on and tries to make it appear that
the other eouncimen are taking water. It
would seem that all of sudden for some
reason the Councilman changing his vote
after voting for the resolution twice, thinks
we should have a special assessment when
the very strongest opposers, and their lar
ger at that, has concluded after thorough
study of the law, that it could not be prac-
tically done. All we ask is a fair repre-
sentatiOn Of all, and all that is said, not a

EXECUTIVE Conn. MEETIEG-The Repub-
lican County Committee for this county
had a meeting in jefferson on Saturday
last. We judge from the report that their
Republican heart was fired, for they decid-
ed upon a vigorous and aggressive cam
paign for the coming election. Able
speakers are to be secured for addressing
the people Of all the more prominent places
in the several sections of the county, such
as Ashtabuls, Andover, Conneaut, Geneva.
jefferson, Orwell, Rock Greek, &C., besides
meetings of lesser pretensions in every
township of the county. The county con-
vention, as will be seen, is called for Mon
day August 49, As soon as the nomina-
tions are made the ball will open, and the
vote Of the county it is believed from
the unmistakable revolutionary spirit shown
in the extra session Of Congress by our
Democratic opponents, the patriotism of
the Republicans of the county will be
quickened and the Importance seen of an
earnest and combined effort to defeat the
Vaccinations of the brigadier generals by
an increased vote in this the banner coun-
ty. Cannot the vote be increased to the
extent Of 1000 oyer the election of two
years ago? The humiliation and defeat
brought upon the party by its own blind
ness and bad management would seem to
warrant some such conclusion.
