The charter recently granted for the
Cleveland, PainesYille & Ashtabula Rail-
road is for the old Lake View, Collamer
& Euclid Railroad which was recently
sold at public sale in Cleveland. 1t is a
narrow gauge road, and it is said it is the
intention Of the owners to eventually ex-
tend the line to Conneaut through the
business centers Of the towns and villages
between Euclid and COnneaut
The importation of English stock at
Canada is becoming frequent, and our
breeds Of sheep and neat stock, are under
going essential improvement by thiscOurse
Of business. The Dodges at New Lyme
have recently procured in this way several
lots, and now we notice by the Reporter,
that Capt. John Deveny, of COnneaut has
just received four very handsome COTS
yolds, which he uses for breeding pur-
Poses.
1t will be seen By a correspondence
in another column, that II. Fassett, Esq,
has revised his decision not to be can
didate for the Assembly, in obedience to
the expressed wish of many of his towns
men. This step commands our hearty
endorsement, as We could hardly select a
more clear-headed, proper and judicious
citizen, TO fill the place of Representative,
and who viii more discreetly guard the
interest of the county.
As our suggestion has been followed
by the establishment Of two places where
a glass of cool, wholesome lemonade can
be obtained in the village, we will make
another suggestion, which, if carried in
to effect, would be equally effectual in
farthering the cause of temperance-the
maintenance Of a five cent coffee house
in the village, where a refreshing and in
vigorating cup of coffee could be readily
obtained. This would afford another
way of cutting off beer and whisky in
dulgence.
The Ashtabula Gas Light Company
is now manufacturing a quality of gas
that is giving excellent satisfaction, and
it is the intention of the company to keep
the quality up to the present standard.
The smoke heretofore has been the great
est objection to the gas, and many CON
sumers have gone back to the use of lamps
and oil rather than have the walls of their
houses blackened by the use of gas. By
a recent change in the mode of manufact-
uEing, it is free from this objection, and
the company is doing its utmost to please
the consumers.
Our friend Granger, is making his
energy and agricultural attainments ap-
parent, notwithstanding the short time he
has had possession of the Southwick
farm out on the Ridge, west Its appear
ance has been much improved, and some
Of his crops show good husbandry and
fine promise. He significantly says
wait bit''-meaning that he intends to
let it be seen, that some things can be
done as well as others. Friend G. has a
double object in view While he brings
his farm up, he expects to bring him
self up too, and he already begins. to rea-
lize an advance in both directions.
Strength to his elbow"
The suicide ofLiIlie Munger, daugh-
ter Of the Munger family ofthis place, on
the 10th inst, at Rochester Oakland Co,
Michigan, is announced in the paper of
that place. The deceased had been liv-
ing for nine years in the family of James
Pearsall, where she became as one of the
family. From some misunderstanding
she left this place, and visited her home
in Ashtabula, but soon returned to Mich
igan, and not securing a permanent place,
she became discouraged and made three
several attempts upon her life, An over
dose of laudanum was taken first, which
defeated the object. The second attempt
which also failed, was by chloroform, and
the last and successful effort was by arse
mic. Her age was "A years.
That runaway of Conductor Adams
horse and buggy on Saturday last, was un-
usually favorable in its results for one of
its character. There were two young
girls in the buggy, when the horse was
started by the cracking of a whip in the
hand Of passing driver The elder girl
was thrown out near the house of Ed. Will
lard. The younger one crouched down
on the floor, holding the lines The horse
ran to Main street and down to the hol-
low, where the attempt to stop it induced
it to turn and run back TO Radford's cor
ner where another effort was made to
stop the horse. 1t turned again and ran
back, and the third attempt to stop it was
successful. No damage was done and no
one hurt-the little girl remaining in her
place.
DR.. Loughlin, of Saybrook, veterinary
surgeon, bought horse last week for surg
ical purposes. 1t was mare of twelve
years Of age, which had been rendered use
less by the growth of bone from near the
point Of the shoulder, to the extent of eigh-
teen inches in length, along the neck, wild
ening at the ends to the width of five inch
es and weighing three pounds and five
ounces. In the thickest part it was two
inches Towards the ends it was quite
porous, insomuch that the fiber grew
through it. 1t had no bone connection,
but was imbedded in the flesh. Such a
growth from the age of four years is not
known to have had any parallel. The an
imal is doing well, and likely to recover.
The operation was one very creditable to
