The following We clip FROM the Cleve-
land Hsrrld in regard . Miss Ella Mans

The Music Committees OF the Eminsn-
uCl Protestant Episcopal Church, Euclid

An uncommon fatality has prevailed
this Spring among the young pigs, and
many in this vicinity have lost entire lltters.
None have escaped without a partial loss.
The coldness Of the weather is supposed to
have been the cause. Those who thought
their styes amply protected, have, never
thrless, suffered severe loss. Richard Ste
vens. who is the largest breeder about town,
has.ssvs21n. --of two litters, that

other agency has made stump tails for some
of them. Prices will probably 60 up.
Mr.. L. N. Crosby, manufacturer Of
tanning Mills, etc, is about putting on
the road five agents to peddle his machines
the present season. The territory worked
is principally in Pennsylvania and the
number to be disposed Of will be from
600 to 500. The material for these mills
was all cut and prepared during the past
Winter, and the work of putting the ma
chimes up is now going rapidly forward.
Mr.. Crosby has been in this business for
many years and being Of an inventive
turn of mind, has now machine that
is perfection and sells like hot cakes.
Invention is on the rack at the Lock
factory, and something new is every once
in awhile brought out for the admiration
of its mechanism and practical benefit Of
the world. We were shown, by Mr.. Clark,
the other day, new lock, on 8 principle
that we have never before seen reduced to
practical use, which bids defiance to the
skill of the lock picker. Its simplicity and
compactness eclipses every thing yet intro
dneed. 1t is cupboard lock. 1t is at
tached in the speediest and simplest man
ner. Its done by simply boring a half
inch or five-eighth hole and it is screwed
into place in no time.
Quite extensive changes are teing
made TO the Haskell block. The front
windows are being cut down to the store
room floor and the Main Street stairway to
the basement has been changed to the
Spring Street side. In the rear brick ad
dition two stories high, 15x24 feet is being
erected, the lower floor to be occupied by
H. J. Topky for tin shop, and the upper
floor is to be used for an engine and boiler
room for the TELEGRAPH office. While
this work is going on we are required to
run our presses by hand, which is quite
task when We take into account the large
amount of work that is done in our press
room.
"A select dancing school, under the in
struction of Prof. L. Il. Page, of Buffalo,
has been opened in Haskell's hall. There
are seventy scholars in attendance, and the
school is open Mondays and Fridays.
There are three classes each day, one from
2 to o'clock for ladies, 4 to for children,
and from 8 to 10 for gentlemen. Prof.
Page is a gentleman who has no superiors
as a teacher of modern dancing and deport-
ment, and the large classes be has in Ash
tabula show he is duly appreciated here
as SUCH He has been earnestly requested
to open class at Warren, and should he
accept he will undoubtedly meet with the
same success.
Under the appropriate head in this pa
per will be seen the announcement Of the
death of Prof. James Delano, in Buffalo,
n. Y. The deceased was well and favora-
bly, known in Ashtabula as a teacher of
dancing, having had several classes here in
years gone by. Congestion of the lungs
was the cause of his death and his age was
n years. A Buffalo paper says:
The funeral of the late James Delano
took place from the Church of Messiah at
three o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
attendance was large, the church being
filled with the friends and relatives Of the
deceased. There was present large num-
Der of the employees of the Union Steam
boat Company, the Anchor Line, the Com
mercial Line, and the Western Transporta-
tiOn Company; also a number of our prom
inent vessel men, Tributes of respect, in
the shape of flowers, we're in abundance,
and among them were crosses, wreaths,
anchors, triangle, q pillow, many bnu-
quets and several baskets filled with the
choicest and sweetest flowers.
