the reader may make selections for his
reading for the new year and compare the
prices fixed by the publishers, with those
offered in club-the club list appearing in
the same paper.
The attention of farmers and those
having wheat for sale is directed to the
new advertisement OF Fisk & SiIIiman,
headed "Farmers, Attention. r' which is
published in this paper. This company

Mr.. Robert Stewart and his assistant
Mr.. Bouker, of this village, started for a
new job on Wednesday lsst--a new bridge
to supply the place Of that wrecked in the
blow Of Friday last-graphically described
by our Kingsville correspondence Farm
hams mills, below Conneaut, on the Mon
roe Center road. The old structure is bad
ly demoralized, and new one is the only
alternative, and Stewart is the man for the
occasion.
TO be a skillful carver is an impossi-
bility without a well sharpened knife, and
to keep a keen edge on your knives by
the old fashioned tools sold for that pur-
pose requires great deal Of time and
considerable skill. Messrs. Geo. C. Hub
bard & Co. have for sale a new kind Of
sharpener that is sure to please you, and
which they sell at a low price. Now is
the time to get your knives in condition
for doing a skillful job on the 9th inst.
TIE. Hurlburt of Hartsgrove and DR..
Iceland of TrumbuIl, dropped in upon US
on Monday last radiating things about
the Telegraph den. Friend Hurlburt was
reminded of his anti Garfield views some
two or three years ago, when making his
acquaintance with the Telegraph and it's
Editor. He is now a Garfield man and
favorable to his Senatorial elevation. 1t is
the Doctors opinion that the fraternity
should follow his lead in appealing for
more liberal provision of law and more
correct public sentiment for the bene-
fit Of anatomical science.
"A petition will be presented at the next
meeting of the Council praying for the
necessary steps to be taken to cause a sew
er to be constructed through Centre street.
a remonstrance has also been circulated
against such action, which will also be pre-
sented, together with a remonstrance
against establishing grade on that street.
Both have been quite numerously signed.
Several hundred dollars were spent last
year for cindering this street, which is now
in very good condition, aud the signers Of
the remonstrance think it would be waste
of that money to tear up the street in es-
tablishing grade.
Bro. HOwells, of the Sentinel, has been
decorating his graceful and gracious per-
son in new suit from the merchant tall
oring establishment Of our neighbor Will
cox. A new suit of clothes seems to have
about the same effect upon him as upon
any other poor devil of an editor. He's
pleased-a weakness that might overtake
some Of the rest of US under the same cir
cumstsnces-espeeislly if Wilcox were the
author Of the circumstances. The trouble
is, we fellows about home are too well
known to get the same terms ga prophet
is not without honor except in his own
country.
This State has been divided into eight
census, or Supervisors districts. The
Eighth district embraces eleven counties
as folows-Ashtabula Carol, Columbi-
ana, Geauga, Lake, Mahoning, Portage,
Stark, Summit, Trumbull and Tuscarawas.
Supervisors will practically control the
local appointments necessary for the per-
formance of thelabor of taking the census.
These appointments are to be filled by the
first of January. The Washington dis
patch does not tell US when the Supervis-
ors are to get their appointments. They
must be near, however, as they viii be
likely to precede the appointments of the
enumerators.
The Rev. Prof. Paine, of Chicago, con-
nected with the Colorado University-a
brother of Mrs. Amos Fisk of this village,
occupied the desk of the Congregational
church of this village on Sunday evening
last, and gave very detailed and compre-
hensive lecture, showing an inside view
of MOrmOnism. 1t was the most able ef-
fort, that was ever listened to in this place,
and enlisted the attention of a large au-
dience, made up of the Presbyterian
church in union with the Congregational.
The object Ofthe lecture was to disseminate
information, and establish q wholesome
sentimentagainst the system, for the pur-
pose of meeting its evils, and eradicating
or reforming the institution.
There were about thlrty-fve persons
from Ashtsbula who went to Cleveland to
hear Deuman Thompson last Wednesday
evening, as Joshua Whiteomb, at the Eu-
cid Avenue Opera House. The special
train was composed of six coaches which
we're well filled before the train reached
Cleveland. The play was enthusiastically
received by the large audience present.

country as to the general popularity Of
the play and Josh in particular. Those
