IL IS now making its seventh tour of the
country and IS in every respect an i'm

enterprises, but even upon what il has been
in the past. The menagerie has baen i'm
proved both in the number and rnlividuaI
value Of its Geological specimens: tbe ROLL
ing stock has been increased and besntifad.
the wardrobes Of the artists have hem
thoroughly renewed; and the artists them
selves stronger in numbers and higher in
repute than ever. 1t would be impossible
to mention the names or cite the excellen-

fee to say that this years programme con-
tsins the names Of CAPTAIN and Mrs. Bates.

in getting together so much beauty and

Circus and Menagerie having been inereas-
ed by 500, 900 cash, which Mr.. Cole spent
last Winter in adding to, improving and
beautifying the various departments of his

Reunion of the 1O5th Regi-
ment.

The fourth annual reunion of the 105th
Regiment, O. V. 1. was held in Ashtabula
last Monday and Tuesday, and was an oc-
casion that will long be remembered with
pleasure by all who witnessed it. On the
morning Of the first the resident members
of the regiment and such others as were
present, marched to the Ashtabula 6
Pittsburgh Ry. depot, on Center street,
accompanied by Scoville's Csrnet Band,
the Ashtabula Light Guards and Paulus
Post, G. A. R., where a special train ar
rived bringing other members of the reg
iment. A gun squad of the Ashtabula
Light Artillery had in the mean time
taken a position in the North Park, and
when the procession marched past, via. of
Division street to Main street, salste of
13 guns was fired. The procession march
ed to Smiths Opera House, where an ad-
dress of welcome was delivered by Mayor
Morrison, which was responded to by
Sergeant Clapp, of Co. K.
The members of the regiment, then
numbering over 200 persons, then adj
jOurned to the Ashtabula House where
an excellent dinner was furnished by our
citizens.
After dinner General Hickenlooper,
1NGpuDiICdu OduuIudJG 1OT 11CulGudul
Governor, who was to deliver the address
held a reception in the parlOrS of the
hotel, which was attended by all of the old
soldiers as well as many citizens.
AT 80 p. m. the procession reformed
and marched to the North Park where
the General delivered an address which
filled his hearers with patriotism, and was
received with loud and frequent applause.
In the evening grand ball was given
the Regiment at the Ashtabula House,
which proved a pleasant feature of there
union .7rs#
The exercises of the second day consist
ed of business meetings, election of Of
ticers, speeches, etc. The next meeting Of
the Regiment will be held in Painesyille,
Oct. 1st and I'd, 1880.
The flag borne by the 105th, was elo-
quent in its testimony to the severity of
the service seen by the regiment on the
field. Men who have passed the ordeal
indicated by its tatters and shreds, deserve
a high place among the cGnOntzed pa
triots OF heir country.

Capt William Watrous is to take
command of the schooner York State when
she is ready for business.
We hear that Mr.. GoOd-the owner
of the schI. York State-is receiving quite
a number of applications for purchase, but
that no agreement as to her value, has
been :thus far reached.
The Marquette NIich) journal says
some idea of the demand for Lake Superb
or ore can be gathered from the fact that
party having a commission for the pur-
chase of 5000 tons has found it utterly
impossible to secure that amount. The
mines are all sold up-a fact which, in
view of the rise in lake freights, is likely
to operate to the disadvantage of some
miners, whose profits are liable to be al
most wholly absorbed by vessel owners.
ANOTHER NEW sTEAMBoAT.
The Detroit & Cleveland Steam Naviga-
tion Company have just purchased a low
pressure beam engine of the Fletcher &
Harrison make, A inch diameter of cylin-
der and 10 feet stroke, to be put into an
iron boat to be built at Wyandot the com
ing winter The details of the new boat
are not yet complete, but the hull will be
200 feet long and 80 feet beam. The cost
of the craft entire will not be far from $780,,
900, and it is expected that eighteen miles
per hour will be the speed attained. The
boat is to be we'll built, and will be com
pleted by the opening of navigation in 1880.
The other new boat for the same line will
be finished by that time, when the two
will undoubtedly be put upon route that
needs couple of boats of Just their kind
as to beauty, power and speed.

The next telegram was Pelton's, ac-

of counsel with Wooley.
The witness didn't answer this nor
tell it to anybody.
Next was Marbles telegram that the
proposition failed, and to tell Tilden to
saddle Blackstone. Witness said this
was another misrepresenting guess Of
the T'ribune. Had no reference to any
purchasing transaction. Blackstone
was the name of Tilden's favorite
horse, and thought to give him quid
to chew, as his master galloped around
the park. Had no conversation at any
time with Tilden about buying out an
electoral board. So far as he PERSONAL
ly knew, no democrat ever attempted
to buy out any returning board. Had
no such instructions himself. Knew
nothing Of the propositions to sell out,
but suggested going to Florida himself
as he thought it necessary.
