KINGSVILLE.

Eds. Iel.-Nothing doubling as to
your willingness towards giving us a
chance to still talk with "H. g." of Con-
neaut, we will ask your indulgence to
notice him once more. Some day ere
long we may get along down on the "Cen-
ter Road" south of Conneaut, and "hHnt
Geo." up Our meeting of course could
not be other than friendly one. Wea agree
not to follow his example by ''talking a
good deal and not saying anything" We
find ourself wondering if he ever believ-
ed US guilty of calling him Donkey"
and if so, what be nO1O thinks about it..
Evidently, his desire to ''measure pencils, -
has led him out of range of the original
''bill of particulars" filed against us. As
between the Bantam and Shanghai roos-
ters, in his last article we feel highly COM
pl1mented in the application as the later be-
ing likened to US, as against tie other. The
framework for good Thanksgiving dinner
with the latter, seems far more hopeful than
with the other, and has the range among
the possibilities for favorable crossing.
With strict utilitarian views, we can see
nothing in the Bantam stock worthy OF
mentioning further than the prodigiOus
amount of growing they can work off on
equally as inintesimal an amount of capi-
tai employed.
We failed to notice last week the aeci
dent that befel Mrs. John Lefingwell.
We are glad to hear that she is improving
despite her serious hurts caused by falling
from wagon. On the morning Of the
21st, with others, she started in their ex-
press wagon-back seat-to 60 to Ashta-
bula, and the seat not being secured she
fell over backwards and striking on her
head and shoulders, broke he collar bone
in two places and fracturing a rib. She
however got into the wagon and rode to
Ashtabula and had an examination by DR..
Hubbard, where she now remains. Some
little time will probably ensue before be-
ing well enough to get home.
Several of our teamsterS are remunera-
lively employed in hauling blocks Of stone
from our Depot over the hills to the new
county bridge to be built near Sam Flick
ingers, at the crossing Of Conneaut creek.
The stone we suppose to be from the
quarry of Robt. Stewart in Windsor.
They are good blocks for September fresh
cts to contend with.
Mr.. L. Davis is building over his house.
He and Mr.. Joseph Mullett with their
three acres of tomatoes. are now beginning
to deliver at the canning establishment Of
Mr.. Cummings in Conneaut. The crop is
said to be very fine.
Our people, with their stock Of water
melons in supply at Kinnear s. Curtiss,
&C., haYe been kept for some time other
than in thirsty condition.
The ''Chas. Downing" variety Of straw
berries-called the best by the N. Y.
Tri6Wne-has by them this season been
brought to a high state of perfection.
With the plants soon to be had of them
many may conclude to test them them
selves.
The annual picnic on the shore OF the
lake for the benefit of the inmates Of the
Infirmary, came off few days since. The
Baptist and Methodist S. S. have each had
their annual picnic, also down there.
The warm weather sends a crowd about
every day lake-ward.
We now learn Of the death Of Mr.. Ed
mund Hewett, after some four weeks sick
ness-au old residenter on the North Ridge
east, near Amboy. His farm is in our
township, and he has ever been regarded as
one Of our first citizens. The Masonic fra
ternity have the exercises in charge.
Yours, @.
