Mr.. Albert Harmon drove his Satellite
gelding to Cleveland the other day and
left him for handling upon the Cleveland
track, while Henry Dunuing who has
charge Of Fickingers stables, Is handling
the Satellite flly, which we hear is doing

or as reinsman, and has a number OF
very good colts which are showing some
promise.

Among the varieties Of strawberries
raised by the Fassett's is the Monarch of
the West"-the largest and most fragrant
and lucious berry that has been seen in
this market. They are rightly nawed, as
we very much doubt whether any berry
has been introduced that approaches
them. We acknowledge the receipt of
basket, which enables us H. speak Of their
merits eXperimentally. These gentlemen
in their enterprise have several new va
rieties Just coming into bearing.

A. & P. MEETING.-At a meeting Of the
directors of the Ashtabua & Pittsburgh
Railroad Co. at Ashtabula. June 22d, Mr..
John Scott was elected President Of the
board, and Frank Semple, Secretary and
Treasurer, and transfer agent, and A. II.
Hubbard Assistant Secretary and FTreas-
urer. After the meeting, the Harbor was
visited, and the evidences Of the handling
Of an increased amount of coal and ore
this year, afforded an encouragement
that is likely to he felt in an increased
ratio upon the passage of each successive
year.
The ease and facility with WHICH pro-
pelers come in and go out Of the liafboF,
with its increased width and the uniform
and increased depth Of water, is evidence
of the great advantages Of dispatch and
the comforts of satisfaction in the tran
saction Of the commerce OF our Harbor,
when the improvement project shall have
been completed, and the old pontoon
bridge shall have given place to some
thing that will better comport with the
spirit and design of the work Of improve
ment and reform.
An apothegm of one Of our village phil
osophers, found expression the othernight,
in an effort to pierce the crania Of our city
Council. 1t was to the effect that "Na-
ture abhors CROTCH" 1t was applied to
the vegetable kingdom, and formed the
basis of an argument for hunting out
every tree in North Park that had this un-
fortunate formation, and the loppiRg of
one limb of the same. 1t is fortunate that
this abhorance was not extended to the
physical and anatomical world, for there
is no knowing but that follower of some
other school OF philosophers might not have
urged the same objection to our physical
and anatomical formation, and then what
would have become Of the race?
No town OF the same size and conse
quence as Ashtabula, enjoys the same nd
vantages in the way of market garden sup
plies. From the opening Of spring to thu
close of the season, and even through {
considerable portion of the winter, oui
citizens revel in the enjoyment of products
of the garden. Celery of the finest is to b,
had until the spring, so that we may sa!
with truth, that garden vegetables ar
plentiful through the year. The numbe
engaged in the business brings about com
petition and low prices. Our citizens
therefore, may enjoy the pleasure Of gar
dening upon their own hook, or suppl
themselves with everything wanted at
price below what iI could be RAISED

- Is il not little unacountable that tn
! beautifully wavy surface Of a portion O
5 Main street, should be preserved with S
5 much carei Whether it is its beauty, topo
r graphically viewed, or from the undula

easy to say, but that it should remain un

be disturbed through the management q
so many supervisors Of highway, woul,
seem be evidence that there is something
about it that has commended it TO specia
