One Of the grandest achievements in
which the enterprising citizens Of this neat
little Eastern Ohio city have ever partici-
pated came to a close on Saturday evening
last. We refer to the Eastern Ohio Loan
Exhibition, which, ii we are rightly in
formed. was originated as u means OF rails.
ing funds TO detray the expenses of the
soldiers reunion to be held here next Au.
gust.
Tos say that the Loan was a success is
only putting it mildly. The different
committees TO whom was assigned the
duty Of collecting, arranging and taking
charge Of the articles on exhibition in
their respective departments, seemed to be
untiring in their efforts TO please and in
struCt those who attended the exhibit, In
every department the visitors were made
happy by the smiles Of Steubens' lair
daughters, and the hearty welcome OF her
worthy sons. It was well worth a dozen
times the price Of admission, especially,
we should think, to those who are bowed
down with grief, either real or imasinery,
for the collection was such that it would
not iail to attract the attention Of any one,
and would in a short time cause them to
forget for the time dull care and all its
harassing attendants.
We are happy to chronicle the enter.
prise of our neighbors, and only wish that
the citizens along the border Of the Pan.
handle didnotpatronize their labors better,
not that the exhibit needed their financial
aid but that they might have instilled in
to them some OF the active element Of their
neighbors across the line.
Steubenville is no SLOUGH oil a city il she
has not all those things which 20 far in
the eyes oil some towards making n city,
The city is just now arrayed in all It's
beauty, nature having come to her as.
~sistance very largely. A stroll out the
north extensions OF Fourth and Fifth
streets will repay the visitor. Some very
handsome residences and ground sthere
meet the eye. Along each side OF the G..
4 ?. railroad at the north end OF the city
h authorities have planted forest trees,
which If allowed by ruthless men, TO
reach proper growth will add greatly to
the appearance OF that portion OF the CITY.
Yesterday was a very quiet day in the
city. The Sunday schools and churches
were well attended. 1t was GU pleasure
to play a flying visit to the First and Sc
cond Presbyterian Churches, also the
Hamline NJ. Z. Church, in each Of which
we noticed n number OF gray.haired vet.
Grams, who have passed the allotted three
score and ten years, and who seemed 10
be actively engaged in the good work.
This is certainly cOmmendable, when we
remember that in some communities q
great many folks get too big and too old
10 attend Sabbath school, and too good
and too wise to attend church. 1t was
also our pleasure to attend services at
Kramer NJ. L. Church in the morning and
Hamline N. Il. Church in the evening
Rev, Butts, Presiding Elder ofthe district,
preached at Kramer in the morning and
at Efamline in the evening.
The Steubenville church Choirs can rem
der excellent music. The choir of the
Fifth Street NJ. p. Church has accented
an invitation from the pastor Of the NJ. p.
Church at Wellsburg to assist in a grand
concert at that place in q few weeks.
We are indebted to the editors Of the
Gazette and Herald for favors shown during
our visit here.
On coming to the city on the early train
on the r. W. Il Ky, on Saturday morn
ing, we witnessed some very bad conduct
aud heard some Of the worst kind OF pro.
family from some of the militia of this
city, assisted by some reckless females,
They had been down to the sham battle
and were returning home. Ills due 10 the
officers Of the train TO say that when any
disorder occurred in their presence they
promptly checked it.
The next thing on the bills for this place
is the Masonic celebration, June 9th,
which promises to be an enjoyable time.
