Main street on Saturday night last
was a scene of a regular Donnybrook Fair
row. How many were engaged in the row
it was hard to say, but the street in front
of Reeve's music store seemed to be full
of rioters or spectators, The rioters were
mined with billiard cues and whisky. No
one could show any interest in the dis
turbance without attracting the attention
of the active ones, and it was not easy for
such a one to escape an acquaintance with
one of these billiard hickories. Scalp
wounds were not scarce, und the How ot
blood made some ghastly spectacles. Of
ficer Rennick being at the station the thing
blew itself out without let or hindrance.
The Women's Missionary Associa
tion, connected with tho Cleveland Pres
bytery, began a session in the Prcsbytcriau

Mrs. Huntington the president was pres

villc, Ashtabula, Kiugsville and Rome.
A public meeting was held ou Wednesday
evening. This was addressed by Mrs.

Africa, on the S. E. const one or two
hundred miles from tho Cape. A letter
from the lute Belle Marsh was rend by
Mrs. Morrison, descriptive of Japan. Mrs.
Huntinctou gave a cursory but able glance
at Salt Lake City, showing something of
the peculiarities of tills strange system
and strange people.
The Ashtabula National Bank has
just been furnished with an extra safety
for its treasures, in the addition to its safe
of Homes improved, double electric,
chronometer time locks. This lock dif
fers in several respects from mo9t others,
especially in this, that a stoppage of both
chronometers does not cause a "lock out,"
for it is provided with an electric movement
that can lie set to work, beginning where
the others stopped, which in the same
running time unlocks the doors. Anoth
er important feature of this lock is, that
tho precise hours for locking nnd unlock
ing is set by means of indices on the diul,
which is then locked and the winding can
be effected by any one having a key, while
the unlocking is effectually under the con
trol of the executive officer, who may have
a key to the case. By setting the electric
movement in operation tho unlocking
may be done from tho outside. The
mechanism is by the Howard Watch Com
pany of New Haven, Ct., and, of course,
is first class. The lock is fully guaran
teed, and as an evidence of Its reputa
tion several of them have been purchased
by the Treasury department. Any one
thinking of securing this latest triumph
of ingenuity applied to financial security
can apply to Mr. H. J. Aycr, of Columbus,
Ohio, who is the agent.
The injury from a fall upon the slip
pery walk, some weeks since sustained by
Mrs. Hogle, proves quite severe, and ren
ders her probably a permanent cripple.
When the bones loose their firmness of
texture in old people, a fall upon the hip
Is dangerous from the liability to break
off the head ol the hip bone, for which
there is no recovery. This, we under
stand is the case with Mrs. Hogle. Our
authorities could hardly introduce a more
humane and valuable reform than the
simple one of scattering ashes upon the
icy walks. An ordinance requiring the re
moval of snow or ice from every man's
premises, or the scattering of ashes where
the ioe is fast, is strongly called for. The
worst place we recollect ill the village. 18
the walk through North Park, and the line
of walk along the block of the school
houses and the Baptist and Presbyterian
churches, particularly ou tho declivity at
the corner of the latter. Now it would
be a small matter to include in the con
tract wilh the janitors of these buildings,
the item of distributing the ashes made
iu these building, to save the limbs of pe
destrians, in such cases as the one alluded
to. Is not this small, simple matter im
portant enough to demand attention ?
SMALL FIRES.
On last Fiiday morning aftout nine
o'clock, a fire was discovereo in the shav
ing room of Hitchcock's ships, occupied
by Snyder & Son, manufacturers of shafts
and poles, Mcfiuire Bros. & Co., manufac
turers of carriage circles, and by K. A.
Hitchcock, as a machine shop. There are
about one hundred hands employed in and
about the shops, who formed bucket bri
gade and after nlioiit two hours work ex
tinguished the fire. No fire alarm was
given, but as a precautionary measure en
gine No. 1 was sent for and placed in
position for use. This shaving toom is,
like the walls of all the rooms, built of
brick, is eight feet square and three sto
ries high. All the shavings from the ma
chines on the several flcrs are carried by
belts or currents of air into this room,
where they are used as fuel under the
boilers. The damage will be little, if any.
AlHiut 2;!i0 o'clock last Tuesday morn
ing tin: luiiiily of Mr. John Fowler living
over and iu the rear of E. A. Willard's
drug store, No. 120 Main street, were
aroused from their slumbers by the smell
of smoke, in their rooms. Mr. Fowler
gave the alarm and with the assistance of
Messrs. D. W. McKenzie and William
Clover, who occupy the adjoining build
ing, broke into the cellar of the drug store
and extinguished the fire, which had
gained considerable heudway among a
pile of empty boxes under tho cellar
stairs.
Several barrels of oil were stored near
the location of fin;, one of which was
burned threiifh, and all the rooms
in tho building were filled with
smoke. Engine No. 1 was promptly on
the grounds ready for work, but the fire
was under control when it arrived.
The goods injured by smoke will be the
only loss to Mr. Willard, which he places
at two or three hundred dollars, covered by
$1500 insurance in tho Pennsylvania Fire
Insurance Company of Philadelphia.
The cause of the fire is unknown) some
attributing it to spontaneous combustion
and others to the work of an incendiary.
The store is located in a row of twelve
wooden buildings, the upper floors of near
ly all being occupied by families or as
sleeping rooms, and had the fire not been
discovered and promptly extinguished as
it was, the loss would have been heavy
and probably human lives lost.
In connection with this subject we de
sire to call attention to the careless habit
many have of using In place of cuspadors
wooden boxes filled with sawdust. Un
less the said receptacle is well patronized
it becomes a dangerous tiling, and many
fires have resulted from lighted cigars

NEW YEAR CALLS.
Next week we shall publish a complete
list of the ladies of Ashtabula who will re
ceive callers on Saturday, January 1st,
1881. The efforts of the Telegraph last
year in reviving this pleasant custom, that
had nearly died out in Ashtabula, were
appreciated by all, and many who have
not kept open house for several years ex
press their intention to receive on the
first. It is our desire that all send in their
notices by Monday the 27th inst., and
they will appear iu the Teleoraph of the
30th.
Personals Some of our young folks
are home for the holidays. We note
Misses. Zillah Sherman and Mary Mitchell,
from Wells College, Aurora, New York;
Misses. Fannie Haskell, Sallie Hubbard
and Ilattie McNutt, from Lake Erie, at
Painesville; Messrs. Will King and Tom
Hubbard, from Mcadvilie; Miss. Eva
Kelloy of Goneva is spending the holidays
with her brother's family Dr. D. E. Kel
ley. Mr. John H. Camp, of St. Paul, Minn.,
made us a call of business and courtesy
on Saturday last, while spending a few
days among Ashtabula friends and rela
tives, on his way to Washington. His ro
bust figure and evidences of vigorous
health were in strong contrast with his
conditiun a year or two since. He was
constrained to give up a heavy mercantile
business, .travel extensively, and seek the
virtues of change, and at length to adopt
an open air life. Occupations consistent
with this rcsolye were adopted. To this
regimeu is attributed his restoration to
sound heultb. From a busy and earnest
mercantile life his pursuits are now almost
wholly in real estate. Having large pos
sessions in prairie lands west of St. Paul,
as well as pine lands in Wisconsin to the
extent of half a dozen townships his en
gagements are sufficient to employ his time,
where he can breathe the pure airs of
heaven fresh from iabratories of nature
primeval forests and the broad prairies.
Beginning with a clerkship in Ashtabula,
and following it iu the vigorous young oity
ot St. Paul, something over a score of
years Binee, ho has by probity, industry
and business sagacity, taken a prominent
place among the sterling, substantial men
of the northwest. Ashtabula may with
just pride recount such of her sons as have
gone out from her like Mr. Camp, and
empty-handed surround themselves with
all the elements busi-uesa success, social
standing, and with a heart and hand that
have contributed to the welfare and hap
piness of t lie world.
At no previous time has our village been
so supplied with goods calculated to attract
holiday shoppers. The Ashtabula store
sold a country dealer a good sized trunk
and filled it wilh cliildrens articles of
vertu, and when packed, its value was
about $1.50. The purchaser called for an
other trunk and filled it at the same rate.

pork, which he kept in a barrel in bis cel

strange smell about the meat unlike that
occasioned by the brine souring and the
green portion having a greenish hue, and
a reddish scum forming over a portion of
the top of the brine. He also noticed
that soon after eating a strange sensation
passed over bim and a numbess was felt
to the extreme portion of the body, and, at
times, dizzeness and sickness of the stom.

an investigation took place, and the pork
removed, and in the bottom, covered wilh

access to the cellar, but who placed the
poison there remains yet to be ascertain
ed. Mr. T. informs me that he has never
kept anything of the kind about his prem

found to contain many species of poison,

some one to injure his family; and bad
