and some Of those that had that pleasure,
and are posted, declare that he has the
most unmitigaledly careless way Of telling
truth, Of any one Of the party who has yet
offered himself as teacher of political
ethics. Some OF his assertions are said to
be taken from whole cloth.

hundred dollars worth Of notes, which the

off the 5000 in currency some ten days
ago. -

Miss Amelia Thropp, who has been a |
valued contributor to our columns for a
year or two past, and latterly from Brazil,
South America, where she has been spend |
ing some months with her sister, In the |
family of the American Consulate, Mr.. |
Cone, arrived in Philadelphia on the 25th |
ult, in the steamer Rio de Janeiro-hav-
ing left on the 1Oth-a 15 days passage.
Mr.. L. Malone of Conneaut, has just
bought one hundred choice white oak trees
on the Russell and Harrington farm, on
the lake share, which he is. now saving into |
Ship plank for The .Blfalo Of Cleveland
yards. This timber is not yet sold and it |
could be used here at a saving of at least !
seven hundred dollars. In these piping
times of high freights some one should start
up vessel building again, and take advan-
tage Of the fine timber still left in this VII
einity.
The 1924 the village paper of Ashta-
bula was the Ashtabula Recorder, publish |
ed by Asa W., and J. q. Hickok, while
Jefferson pejoiosd in a paper oflits own |
the Ohio Luwipary. This was a warm |
.a1ti-nasenic organ, when that lever ran
high. Mr.. W. W Mann informs Us that
he was post rider foS@the Recorder, and
Darfns .Eooriis forthe Ltimihdry, and they
went in company their route extending
on the easts and Madison on
the west, taking one ridgeout,a aud the 9th
er back. Mr.. Mann informs as that he fol-
lowed this employment for fiYe years.
The receipts of the county fair from
all sources will hardly fall below $4,000
This will not only put the society opt Of
debt, but enable it to put up some much
needed buildings and fences. The new
dining hall was put up by the party who
runs it, for his own benefit. and he has the
business of feeding the multitude at a rent
al of $40 year. 1t might have been a
little smoother and more tasteful affair,
and if it had been dropped down at ran
dom could hardly have been more illyilo-.
Gated. a little order Of arrangement, and
Corresponding taste, in the buildings might
as well be thought of when practicable, as
otherwise.
--Wauregan! Waureganu What's thuti
Mrs. Prosser's new millinery store, on the
east side of the street, is rather snowy
and attractive place, and the ladies are con-
siderably exercised about it, as some of the
editorial fraternity have been. Some of
them think that Wauregan is the name of
some ne2-fangled gewgaw for the adorn7
ment of Ashtabula's fair daughters 9th
ers think it may be the name of some old
ancestor of Mr. Prosser, which he wants to
perpetuate and immortalize. The rustic of
ladies about the concern is evidence that
something is up-that somebody's curiosity
is well-nigh consuming them, especially as
those three-shilling three button kids are
going of so fast that somebody may fail
to get pair.
An agency for the Equitable Life In
surance Company of New York, has been
established in this village, with H. Fasset t
agent. This company as will be seen by
statement iu this paper. is one of the
strongest in the country. It has a new
feature not yet recognized by any other
company, This is the quality of indisputa-
-bility to be impaired to all policies after
having been three years in force The
