June 3d being the time and Columbus the place, where the editorial corps were called to assemble in Convention, and being already then and there we conclu ded to Btay and see the brethren in their organized capacity. 'We had never at tended any of their gatherings or joined in any of their festivities, and hence had a degree of curiosity to see how they would conduct themselves on such an occasion, The programme laid out was an exten sive one, and embraced visits to the Ag ricultural College, the Sullivant Street Schools and High Schools, the Fair Ground, the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, with sundry collations, several business meetings, a military drill and a banquet, thrown in, for fear the fraternity might have any time to Bpare to wander off in to the ways of temptation. Eight and a half sharp found a num ber of the fraternity assembled at the Board of Trade Rooms, in the City Hall Building, where they registered, aud re ceived ibeir badges, their invitations and tickets to the banquet. At 9 a. sharp, led by Gen. Comly, of the State Journal, one of the most dignified memb ers of the profession, thongh possessed of a certain degree of geniality which makes him easily approachable; Loomis, of the Cincinnati Commercial, prince of good fellows, and chief mana ger of matters and things in general per taining to the excursions, we started the Hieh street cars, a train of which hod been placed at our disposal by T.

On one of those casions, a happy gentleman, witn healthy looking face, a gracefully curling mustache, and a rotund body, and might easily have been mistaken for Secretary of State, remarked with audible smile, that in all his travels had never before seen the mules hitched to the side of the car. Of course I was a burst of indignation, which overcame by remarking that if the gentlemen felt offended, he would pardon of the mules (hitched in front.) The laugh was on, and all enjoyed joke even the funny man himself happy at the thought that he had struck such a vein of humor. We alighted front of the Dining Hall and formed independent procession to the AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, which stood about a quarter of a beyond, where we were received President Orton and other members the faculty. We were refreshed partaking of lemonade, and entered lecture room to listen to an address welcome by President Orton, and an by Mr. Sullivant, Secretary the Board of Trustees, after which dispersed to investigate tho college til half past eleven.

The minutes of the last meeting were called for, bnt being very volumin ous it was concluded to excuso the Seo rotury from the duty of reading them. Jennings was call on to read hifl hintory of the Organization, but excused himself bv saying there would be more time to read it on the excursion down the Hock ing Valley. He was excused so readily that it seemed to us as if the association was studying its own comfort possibly the historian and the association were under mutual obligations to each other for the ease with which they reached a conclusion. An invitation from the proprietors of the Put-in-Bay House, at Put-in-Bay, to accept their hospitality, and hold their next session on the Is land, was " 'ted by the President, and in dun course accepted. On motion the old officers of the Society were re elected for the ensuing year. Aniuvita- tion to visit the idiot asylum at Athens, next day, was received with favor, al though some irresponsible genius sug gested there was no use to hurry matters as they would all get there in time. The weightier matters of business being dis posed of, it was coucluded to adjourn to the COLLEGE DINNING HALL. m. a for H, the The where a sumptuous collation was served up. through the courtesy of the High Street Railroad Company. On the way to the Dining Hall we observed there was considerable attraction down by the Springs, which are of a slightly mineral character. On the occasion re ferred they also partook of a spiritous nature occasioned by an admixture from sundry private glasses. However, every body turned up "straight as a Btring" the Dining Hall, with appetites which for a while threatened to exhaust the base of supplies. Dinner over, Loomis was on hand with orders for the cars and Sullivant street school. The return trip was without incident, other than lifting the cars on the track several times, and speculating upon the growth of the city, whioh had almost made Goodole Park central location. We reached the Capi tol in good season, and leaving the cars started for the SULLIVANT STREET SCHOOL. a to oc a who the an he there he rural beg the felt in an mile by of by the of ex planation of we un well room, geo logical fire speci seen; is of where we were met by Prof. R. Stevenson, Superintendent of the pub lio schools. Prof. Stevenson was merly Superintendent of the Schools Norwalk, where he established so good a reputation as a pnblio instructor the State Capitol reached out for him. By him we were introduced to the principal, and then we divided squads, visiting the different rooms, spending about ten minutes in each. The teachers exhibited their scholars satisfactorily, and showed to what a gree of proficiency they had attained, by the usual tests. The scholars in lower rooms, evinced an excellent knowl edge of geography and drawing, well posted in the productions of different parts of the country, and of their own Stats and one fellow was so anxious for the honor Ohio that he determined to extend its area; so, when the question was asked, "In what port of Ohio are the coal fields situated!" he responded with energy Pennsylvania." He knew well euongh, but he was in too much of a hurry, the teacher suggested it was a mistake unless that Stato had recently been mov ed over. But it was when we reached the room where Miss Cora Barrett, of Norwalk, taught, that we what teaching was. First girls boys were put through a lesson in ical history and economy, and replied with a promptitude that would have prised a politician. Then came exam ples in mathematics, and all the the teacher urged her scholars to prompt itude. They worked like beavers, rapidly and during the exercis es recorded but one mistake. Shcool Board should be proud of teacher, and we know friend Gibbs, the Reflector, felt that his town wasjhon ored. From the Sullivant School, proceeded to Broad street, where HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING. of litho graphing, It in a be come rap idly the and to of com fain a is situated. Here the programme some excellent musio aud mations. As we mounted the leading to the High School Hall, were suddenly halted on the second by several young maidens, who captured Prof. S. and pinned a charming boquet on each luppel of his coat. sooner was he out of the way, than we, sundry others of the brotherhood, captured by little nymphs with eyes and deft fingers, and "decked boquets fine, uutil each one of class editorial had a mark of distinction pinned to his coat. We were then ducted to seats on the platform, and ter being seated the exercise were gun by marching the school children v v .uuwm their .eats. It was an interesting the boys (young men,) were well dressed land well behaved, which is better, bore themselves like gentlemen; girls (young ladies,) were equally the well dressed and well behaved, but we could not fail to notice that many of them had ;boen hard students, and had, in conse- nuence. impaired their eyo sight At in a least so many of them wore glnws, that we could not roach any other conclusion from appearances, and wo were not al lowed to ask questions. Should the complaint affect many more, we would prescribe an occnlist as an addition to tho faculty. The first piece of music on the programme was "Men of Harlach," a chorus, which was well rendered. This was followed by a declamation by one of the young men, entitled "The Traitor's Death Bed." It was well ren dered, and showed the studont as a care ful elocutionist. Then came "Spring's Delights," a part song, which showed the voices to advantage. Then followed "Roirer and I." by a younor miss, who sustained her part well. "In a Wood,' well sung, followed, and then "The Dy ing Alchemist was given by a young gentleman, who had evidently stndied Shakespeare's advice to the players. Then "America" was sung as a chorus, and the exhibition closed. Brother Hopley was called on for some remarks, and responded, in an able manner, but came near turning the meeting into a political gathering. He was followed by M'Gregor, of the Stark County Democrat, who quoted Shakes peare liberally and made, altogether, very pleasant speech. The school was then dismissed, the editors took posession of the hall, ap pointed a committee to draft resolutions and then adjourned to witness the Capi tal City Cadets drill, which, however, did not take place till we reached the deaf and dumb asylum. While waiting ing, Dave Fisher's stomach began to rebel because of some water he had taken, and he had recourse to Hopley's .private gloss for relief. After a few minutes spent in trying to- draw the cork, ho concluded to "look into things," aud discovered he had been trying extract swoetness from a large spy-glass. However, it cured his stomach. At the Asylum, in the evening, that "private did a "power of good to thoSe who knew its capacity, but Van pro nounced it a base swindle and Judge Estill concluded it was an unmitigated fraud, while numerous others recorded a similar verdict.

For a time little else was thought of but eating, for seemed hungry; but the popping champaign, and sparkling catawba, a zest to the entertainment and a "flow of soul" followed. Joe Geiger, Putman, and Thompson, and Donald son, and Heitman, of Columbus, made pithy speeches, which were in turn to by Furay and Boscom Dave Fisher and other luminaries. About seven o'clock we again took'the ca 9, and proceeded to Washington Ave nue, where we took our leave of the company with regret, aud proceeded the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, where were courteously received. Soon after our arrival the sounds of musio heard and the Cadets were announced. The visitors took possession of the conies, and witnessed the company drill, with pleasure. Every movement was cxecnted with precision, and soldiers pronounced the exhibition very creditable one. After the Cadeto had retired, the company assembled the Chapel, where they listened to S, Reed's essay on The Great Moral gine, a charming satire witnessed tomimes by the pupils of the Asylum, and were entertained by music from orchestra of the Blind Asylum. At conclusion of these, the company invited to the BANQUET HALL, sur while re sponded The that of we the in cluded stairs we floor, where tables were spreadj with aU delicacies of the season, as well as substantials, and where everybody themselves to the utmost. an hour was passed pleasantly, were offered and responded to by Allen and others, and when at lost company dispersed, it was with a ing of relief on the part of the fraterni ty, They had been kept on the stretch all day, and thongh they felt that kind-heartedness and public spirit citizens of Columbus stood unexcelled though they had been admirably enter tained and feasted, they felt that the will grow weary; and it was with a ing of relief they sought their conches rest before their jaunt dowii the Hock ing Valley.

One of the earliest hotels of any mag nitude, if not the first, in Toledo, was the popular house referred to. which. has always enjoyed a high reputation and is to this day growing in publia fa- The Oliver house, and ita neces sary out-buildings, cover over an aero and a half of ground, with a frontago on Broadway of 250 feet and 150 feet on Ottawa street being looated near the railroad aud within only a few minutes, walk from the Union dipot, though 'busses and street cars are constantly in communications with the honsa, The present proprietor, Mr. Donald Mc Donald, originally managed the house for the heirs of the estate Major W. Oliver but about twelve months ago took the business in his hands, since when some very important improve ments have been effected. On entering the main hall of the building 75ft. x 40ft flunked by the offije, we are coa- with desks, news tables &&, f or tLe con fronted venienc of guests, and it at onca becomes strikingly apparent to. tho eye that neither pains or expense-have here been spared to make provisioa for the comfort of guests. To the right, down stairs,leads to the labratory and barber's shop, while tip stairs brings us to the spacious dining hall, 120 xi, with four teen neatly laid out tables, which are-, waited upon by a corps of sixteen ex perienced waiters. Turning down stair to the loft, after re-entering the main hall we came to the billiard room and: bar, this department being- remarkably well fitted up. Proceeding ux stairs. we were next shown over the suits of rooms and single apartments, when- we- were perfectly struck with the neatness, order and serotinous cleanliness of eve ry apartment The furniture, through out, is very handsome andmassivemake,. the carpets for the most part new be ing nearly all body brussels. Particu larly handsomely furnished are the bri dal apartments and the family suites. There are no less than 134 rooms in the house, 40 of them being eligible for sam ple rooms while there are no less than 24 suites. Theentira house is heated byam improved system of steam, while-the ven tilation and sanitary arrangements ar a surpassed in any hotel we ever saw. Of the cuisine at this house, too muck ear not be said. Mr. McDonald has ever had the reputation for providing a table second to none, and at this, ample proof will be found in the excellent . bill of fare that daily graces the tables. Nor should we here fail to mention, that in view of the present slackness in com mercial matters and the scarcity of money, the proprietor has resolved up on lowering the tariff of the house to 2.50 per day which new arrangement tx)k plttoe the first of this month thus affording all the advantages and com forts of a first-class, old established and popular hotel at a 'priee within the means alike of every one. Mr. Mc Donald will be found at all times a gentleman most communicative, atten tive and accommodating. Ho may be said to poses3 a life-long experience in Hotel management, and even to tho marketing, and general supervision of the Oliver House, Mr. Ma gives in cessant, personal attentions Whatever may be said of other hotels in the city the Oliver House, in many respects, emphatically takes the lead. Thugk within five minutes walk of the leading thorougfare, it is nevertheless out of the incessant hurry and worry of busy streets. Its location is the most healthy and many of its rooms afford the most charming prospjots the rural outskirts, of the city are quite aooessible and the. general surroundings of tb housa are- exceptionally pleasant. All the rooms ore lofty, light aud admirably arranged, the building has six fixe proof, principle walls built throughout it, and adjacent is provided a very fine ice house 200x 50ft. containing over 500 tons of ioa for ita private use. We congratulate Mr, McDonald on Lia excellent institu tion are not in the least surprised at his popularity with lua gueata, and would strongly reooommend our readers to give him call if they desire the beat of accommodation and to aecure abund-. ant satisfaction.
