LON OUR OWN CORREsPoNDEl
COKNEAUT.

Eds. TeI:-We are all in a high degree
of expectancy here. In fact we have ''great
expections," and great are the expecta-
tions Of parties who expatiate on the
grounds fol our expectations. We have
been, as we think, sadly neglected by
Dame Fortune here for years. We have
seen our rival, Ashtabula, spread herself
like a green bay tree. We have heard of
your NJ 'Kenzies, and your mercantile men,
of your factories, fOundries, machine shops,
and your divers and sundry and solid pros
perities, and we have borne it with patience
and resignation, and we have not envied
the prosperity of our neighbOrs. To be
sure it would not be in human nature for
MS to rejoice in your prosperity, for a man
lies every time when he says he rejOices in
seeing his property daily decreasing IN
value, all because he has a strong and pros
porous neighbor. We won't lie about it,
neither will we give place to malice, or envy,
or jealousy, or any Of the diabolical pas
sions, because Ashtabula marches on from
strength to strength, like a young giant
city, as she is doing. You are prospering
and you will continue to prosper. But at
the same time we have now great expecta-
tions III the line Of a new railroad that is
to open a wide, a new and rich door of
prosperity to all this region, and especially
to Conneaut. Can you give US any encOur-
ment in regard to the proposed new road?
Is there anything in these rumors, reports
and stories? To hear some of our orators
in the lobby of the post Office, in the hotels,
at the street corners, and in the blacksmith
shops you might infer there was just ''mil-
lions IN il" But we want the TELEGRAPH's
Yiew-we want your opinion as we know
you will neither fatter nor deceive us in
any way. Please to say if you think Con-
neaut has any chance whateyer Of having
some outside parties build a railroad from
this point to some point away down in the
coal field of Pennsylvania. That is the
question that interests us hugely just now.*
The patriotism Of this neighborhood in
tends to concentrate at Pierpont-one Of
the leatest of our county villages-on the
4th Of July. Great preparations have been
made by the enteTprising Pierponters, and
time Of rare interest and enjoyment is
looked for. We are all going, Of course.
The churches here have done a good thing.
They have resolved to unite in their Snn-
day evening services all in one place, and
the first cf their service came off on Sun
day evening at the NJ. E. Church when the
Rev. R. T. Keeler, of Perry, delivered a
most eloquent discourse, to an over crowd
ed audience.
Mr., Davidson has retired from the edl-
tqrial chair of the Conneaut EIpTeSs, and
Mr.. G. S. Putnam will assume the duties

Dear Tel:-'The day we celebrate" is
close at hand, but the place where is not
yet settled in the minds of the inhabitants
of Daniels avenue; the probability is we
shall get up four horse team and 60 to
Plerpont on big sleigh Tide-that is if we
can keep sober enough to distinguish be-
tween Christmas and 4th of July.
In my last communication there was
query-whom should be the appointed man
for mfrmary Director. 1t seems that out
of the many applicants for the position
there could be longer stick selected than
Uncle Josiah Hicks, though he is a very
clever man. 1t looks Just as though there
was bargain and sale in the operation. L
looks like this-now if you high joints will
appoint Uncle 81. we will pledge COnneaut
and Munroe's delegation for Peck for re-
election. But that amt going to work
with the people. When the Commissioners
pass a petition signed by five Of tie leading
editor in this county, and say to themselves
we are the county, not the press, nor the
people, but we, Peck & Co. Who is running
this county but US? \. Johnson, Presi
dent got just such notions into his head
once and he got beat, so will Mr.. Peck be
let down and out at the first speaking Of the
people.
The Conneaut Express is dying by inch
es, and it has but one more inch to go, it
may possibly stand it two weeks longer,
though l don't like to date in advance the
final closing up scene of an old. friend.
But last week it was announced by its
editor-who has been the chief corner stone
that he had severed his connection with
it. Mr.. Davidson retires from the Express
with a good record as journalist and gen
tleman. To keep up the paper he had
nothing to do with-his hands were tied.
The proprietors were bound to make some
money out of it by getting something for
nothing. Bob IngersoH says it won't do.
The boys in their greed have allowed
paying advertisements to crowd out all To-
cal news and the result is the people are
going to let it drop. I am a believer in q
resurrection, but when newspaper dies
out for want of support I find she resur-
rects slow. But Mr.. Davidson retires with
many warm friends.
The sporting boys Of COnneaut don't PRO-
pose to he trified with again by Ashtabula
jockeys as they were last Saturday, l am
told that challenge was given to come up
and trot for IS side, so our boys were ae-
cordingly on hand, but the other party
crawled ont as he didn't think his colt would
stand it, and our boys came home sober
and disgusted.
Yours until something turns up,

To-Day, for
1t is Our COuntry's Natal Day, and

TWENTY NINE AND ONE
HALF YEARS OLD.

THE FoURTH--The great national ami
versary cannot come without bringing a
feeling Of reverence, and our patriotism rec
ognizes the occasion whether we go into a
regular observance by a celebration or not.
As very general thing work is suspended
and as in duty bound we jubilate as best
we may. No public observance of the day
is 10 be held in Ashtabula, and the dear
people will feel free to go wherever they
may-and mingle with those who are more
patriotically inclined, or seek the quiet Sc
culsions of home, the banks of the lake, or
boating upon the bosom of that splendid
sheet of water.
Several of the towns of the county give
more loose rein to their enthusiasm.
Our friends at
ROCK CREEK
Are TO have a varied entertainment, suf-
feiently attractive to call out the numbers
In the first place the addresses will be of
a character to command attention. The
orators are Judge Sherman and F. A. Pet
tibone, Esq. TIE programme for the even
ing is a liberal one. The fireworks are
rare and novel and after the platform per-
formances, will be the feature of the occa-
sion. Several brass bands will be on hand
to make the contribution of good music
ORWELL,
Although next door neighbor, will also
celebrate. Hon. S. A. Northway gives the
Grafton, and the afternoon will be filled up
with various things to afford fun and frolic
for the gathered crowd. A good dinner,
Of course, at the Stone Hotel, to which an
invitation is acknowledged, will be among
the enjoyments.
PIERPoNT
Enters in the celebration with earnestness.
The speaking will be furnished by Hon.
W. P. Rowland and E. c. Wade, Esq,
and no less than three G. a. R. Posts will
join in. the celebration-the Custer Post of
Conneaut, the Giddings Post of jefferson,
and the Lincoln Post of Pierpont. A good
dinner, balloon ascensions and fine display
in the evening of fireworks.
WINDSOR,
Though not going into a full fledged cele-
bration, will, as stated elsewhere, send up
meteoric balloons, set off fireworks, and end
up with dramatic entertainment, by the
social club, at Odd Fellows hall.
At Andover and Leon the young folks
will allow their patriotism to escape from
their toes and heels by dances.
The A. & P. road has instituted an ex-
cursion to Youngstown, which will no
doubt take off large numbers all along the
line, and perhaps override, to some extent,
the home attractions in the way of cele-
bration, because of the always absorbing
interest that clusters about the races. 1t
will not be surprising if the morning train
should go into Youngstown with many
crowded coaches.
Unionville will also offer turf sports for
the people, and some very good horses are
expected to be on the track, among them
Henry Dunning will have out Fickinger's
Kentucky John, a horse of fine breeding
and splendid action.

Well, we can tell you about that. Ash
tabula has had some little experience which
has become o cherished "reminiscences. She
appropriated all her loose dimes and dollars
many years ago, and for the most part did
the grading Of the old Ashtabula & New Lis
bon road, and having run to the end of her
tether, waited two or three decades to find
some one that would take the enterprise OF
her hands and finish It, without finding
any one. At length parties were found to ac-
Gept the line, with n bonus of some s25O,W0
with which to finish II. This was represent
ed by stock certificates, one. third of which
have since been released, and we shall not be
disappointed ifthe other two thirds shall al
so be asked for. This is n share Of the bnr-
dens that have been shOuldered TO secure n
railroad terminating at this place. When
ConHeaut shall have done tithe OF this she
may fatter herself that she is to enjoy the
the prospect Of a road.
