One hundred andseventy-eight ot this number were refugees from North Carolina. ' : " 1 , " The Sign? and fPo8T Nuisance. The Prosecuting Attorney of the Cincinnati Police Court has been directed to institute tbe necessary legal proceedings to compel the removal of signs and posts elected on the streets of that city, contrary to municipal ordinances. Would It not be an excellent move In our own city, tbat this nuisance and poblic eye-sore be abolished? The first genuine snow-fall of the season occurred in this city .on. -Saturday afternoon and evening. The greater portion of the fall melted as soon as it tell, but enough remained to draw oa the first cutter of an enterprising cit ze i, who, with a fast team musical with bells, attracted much attention on High street. Another dash of snow fell yesterday afternoon, but the temperature of tbe weather was too cold for a regular fall. ' Thr Applb Cropw A very large pro portion ot the apple crop in this section of the country remained upon the trees unpicked during tbe late heavy frosts, and In some instances were frozen solid. It is probable that the price of good, sound trait, picked before tbe frerze, -will be considerably eubanced. On the other hand, elder can have but nominal value, as the frozen crop can be Immediately converted Into juice. Thx County Commissioners. The Board met on Saturday. Present, Messrs. .

Horace Capron, Commissioner of Agriculture, for the October Report of his Department. The report embraces a statement of the condition of the crops, with tables of averages, and notes on the respective crops, together with extracts from the correspondence of the Department detailing experiments with seed, etc; letters from Idaho and Washington Territories; an announcement of the Cordova Exposition, Argentine W s public: tables of live stock receipts and sbipmentsat Chicago; meteorological tables for the month of September; notes on the weather, etc. In reference to the condition of the crops, the report says : The great agrl cultural lesson of tbe season Inculcates the necessity of draining and thorough cul ture. It is not an exaggeration to esti mate the reduction this season,' from the alternate drowning and scorching of farm crops, at two hundred millions of dollars, Reports from drought-parched regions de clare the crops 'in fair condition on lands well worked,' and that the effect of the heat was aggravated by want of cultiva tion as dry weather set in; that on drained soils, properly cultivated, fine crops were obtained, while on wet or un- drained lands, and fields neglected or half cultivated, a failure was imminent."

Aii Interesting Excursion " and a Charitable Party. Editor Statesman : An excursion party, consisting of o (Boers of the Columbus and Hocking Valley Railroad, members of their families , and others, In all about thirty persons, started from the depot of the Company, inthla city, on Saturday morning, about .3 a'clock, In A special car, for a trip over this new road to the coal mines at Haydenville and Nelsonville. Several gentlemen of the party were anxious to examine the- track, its grades and curve, and bridges, fcc., and did so carefully, and to their satisfaction, while the entire party enjoyed the beautiful scenery of hill and vale and river and forest along the line of the road. The road was found to be well built, the grades and curves easy, the bed solid and well ballasted. 8eated in tbe smoothly gliding cars one would not know, unless told, that he was on a new road, but would get the impression tbat it was one of the oldest roads in the country. The chief interest of the party centered in the mines at the lower part of the route-At a station about eight miles this side of Nelsonville we- found a specimen of the mmense wealth stored up in the Hocking hills, In the shape of a train of thirty cars, each containing three hundred bushels of beautiful coal, in all nine thousand bushels, rawn by one locomotive (so easy is the grade), and bound lor Chicago. Our excursion train ran on to a side track, giving the main line to this immense coal train ; and as car after car passed us, we cheered them, and getting a full view of the whole train as it rounded a curve near by, the entire party was thoroughly impressed with the mineral wealth of these hills, and that railroad burdened with its transportation to the markets of the North and West, has substantial basis of prosperity. This coal train was from the mines of our towns man, W. B. Brooks, who came up with it and met our party. He had a right to be proud ot that sam ple ot the product of his mines. Mr. Brooks joined the party as we went on down the road. We soon discovered that we were in the vicinity ol the mines at Hay 1 denvllle. Mr. Hayden was with us. Directly the locomotive whistled for a halt. As we looked ,out over the canal we saw two men turning a pivot bridge over the canal, under the direction of our friends Mr. Reamy and W. B. Hayden. This bridge made a continuous track for the . cars up to Mr. Hayden's mines. His loco motive came over for our car, and after the locomotive' filled itself with water out of the canal, (by means of a steam pipe from the boiler to a stationery pump on tbe canal bank, forcing water through another pipe into the water-tank of the locomo tive ) we sped away for two miles up the track, built by Mr. Hayden to bis mines. There, the first thing that attracts the view, is tbe immense trestle-work structure erected to accommodate screens through which the coal, brought out of the mines in trainsof dump-cars is poured, coming out below through separate schutes In large coal filling one car, nut coal another and finer coal another, thus ready loaded for transportation. The party ascended the hills to enter the mines un der the lead of Mr. Hayden, and being met by a mule train coming from one mine, the cry was, "lookout for tbe locomotive," and met by another train Just emerging from another mine, the mule driver having a small lighted; lamp hooked Into bis cap- band, the cry wa, ''clear . the track!' Mr. Hayden calling attention to the "head-light" of that locomotive. As the party entered, through a long, dark ball, .cut through deposits of rock and coal, into rooms or chambers where the miners were at work, we could but think that we were entering into wonderful storehouses, built by the Almighty when be laid the foundations of the evei- lasting bills; and, as we examined the formations and deposits, first of fire clay, then of coal In a stratum near two feet thick. then a thin layer ot slate, then a stratum of coal, and so on for a heluhth ot near eight feet, all covered over with a protect ing root of slate, and above tbat rocks and earth and forests, many of the party mast have thought that all this was the work not only of an Almighty Creator, but also of an All-wise and Beneficent Father, who bad laid away lor the use of his children tor centuries such bountiful provision for their prosperity and comfort. Having examined these mine.9, the party returned to the C. & H. V. Railroad, their car being drawn by the locomotive of Mr. Hayaen, who very considerately performed the duty of forward brakeman. On the main line once more, we soon found ourselves at Nelsonsonville, five miles below. We ran up the side track to Mr. Brooks' mines. There, as at Mr. Hayden's, we iound the structure for screening coal as it comes from the mines, pouring it at once Into cars ready tor transportation.' The party ascended the bills and took a survey of the entrances (seven in all) to the several mines. ' Directly the cry was ''cleaf the track," for, above us was coming. down an Inclined plane or railroad track, a train of four or five loaded coal cars trom one of the mines, propelled by neither locomotive, nor mule, nor man, but, as one of our party very pertinently said, by "gravity" one man applying tbe brakes as the cars ran on to the platform above the screens, through which the coal rattled into the cars below. The party did not, for want of time or dinner, or some other cause, enter these mines. A couple of lawyers of the party, however, were disposed to do so, and a train of empty cars coming along, drawn by a single horse, these disciples of Blackstone jumped aboard and rode in far beyond daylight, say something lees than half a mile, when they, changing to atloaded train; each astradle - of a coupling between the cars, rode out to daylight again, and continued on the cars down the inclined plane to tbe screens, just In time to see the excursion car start ofi ; but a white handkerchief being waved as a signal that a couple of gentlemen, not on that train, weald like some dinner too, the party halted, and, all hands aboard, the order of the hour was " dinner" and such a dinner Take a hungry party, and an abundance ui coiu nam, coicKen ana tongue, weu-DUU tered biscuit and rolls, and pickles and grapes and cake and jokes and fun and beauty, and something that seemed to be designed as a substitute for coffee, and Imagine tbe rest If you canl Alter dinner everybody felt comfortable, tbe sun came out brightly and cheeringly but soon Indications of snow reminded us of winter, and cold, and tbe poor ot our city. Tbe mines spoke of coal, and the ladies thought of Mr. Hayden and Mr. Brooks. Soon the proposition came from these two coal kings that they would each give this winter, to the Female Benevolent Society of Columbus, twenty-five hundred bushels of coal, making, together, five thousand bushels, If the railroad company would carry It free. A gentleman, on behalf of thecompany.with bis thumbs in the arm- holes of bis vest, promptly replied We ac cept tbe proposition." So tbe Benevolent Society gets free tickets for five thousand bushels ot coal 1 The sun again came out brightly and approvingly ; but soon after ward the sky was overcast with clouds, and flakes of snow began to fly. To some ot the party this meant "Hannah Neil Mission." That institution needed coal too. The matter was mentioned to Gov. Dennison, who mentioned it to Mr. B. E. bmith. They fixed up this proposition, that they would pay for mining five thou sand bushels ot coal for the Mission Mr. Hayden to furnish half tbe coal and Mr. Brooks tbe other half, and the Railroad Company to bring it up free ot charge. The proposition was promptly accepted on I all hands. So the Hannah Neil Mission also gets five thousand bushels of coal. For one little party to thus provide ten thousand bushels ot coal for benevolent purposes in one day, is p'relty good work. Mr. Hayden thought of a pertinent anecdote. The Indian makes it a rnle that he must have all he dreams given to him. One ot them had a dream that a certain white man gave him a new gun and a new hunt log-shirt, and certain other articles he wanted. He told the dream to his pale- faced friend, and Insisted that he must have them. He was gratified. The white. man also hai.a'dream, and in turn told the Iudian.about it. He dreamed that a certain large tract of land was given to him by the Indian. The latter, bound by his rule, consented that the white man might have tbe land, but quietly said to bim, "Don't dream any morel" So Mr. Hayden requested the excursion party not to dream any more about coal. The party agreed not to at present. Tbe excursion proved to be a very pleasant trip, and was greatly enjoyed by all concerned. This Hocking Valley Railroad is a good one. . Well built and well backed up by elements ot success that few other roads can rely up in. No other road that entersColumbus can benefit the city as this one can, opening up, as It does, a section ol country that is unsurpassed in agricultural and mineral wealth,and which by means of tbis road will become tributary to the prosperity of this city. The road is a monument to the all pre vailing energy of Mr. Green, who projected and carried forward the enterprise to its present condition against discouragements and opposition that wonld have con quered ninety-nine, men out of every hundred. Thcs uccess of tbe road will, no doubt, prove that his foresight is equal to bis energy. Scbiblkk. Examining Court Judge Pugh was engaged on Saturday afternoon in hearing the case of Albert Sewell, who, through his counsel, Mr. George Li. Converse, made application for an examining court,' in the matter of the charge pending against him ot shooting with intent to kill. On tbe 24th of July last, Officer Shufflin arrested Sewell, and when In the act ot unlocking the door of tbe City Prison, Sewell drew a pistol and shot at the officer. He threw up his arm quickly and changed the direction of tbe ball, which entered the arm of Sewell, producing an unimportant flesh wound. OfficerShulHin had previously arrested Sewell on another charge, and it is alleged that the latter declared that should Shufflin ever attempt to arrest nim again, he would kill him. The defense claimed on Saturday, was that Sewell really attempted to kill himself at the time of the shooting. A full hearing of tbe case be fore Judge Pugh on Saturday, resulted in Sewell being remanded back to jail, to await the action of the grand jury, It being considered by the Court that the tes timony tor conviction was ample. Prose cuting Attorney. E. T. DeLany represented the State, and Mr. George L. Converse appeared for Sewell. Coal for thb Poor Munificent Be quests by Citizens. It'will be seen by ref erence to the very Interesting communication of "Scribler," (will he not please to scribble some more? ) descriptive ol incidents attending the visit of an excrusion party to the coal fields of the Hocking valley, on Saturday last, that Messrs. Peter Hayden and W. B. Brooks donated five thousand bushels of coal to the Female Be nevolent Society of this city. This good act done, Gov. Dennison and Mr. B. E. Smith proposed to pay for mining five thousand bushels more for the Hannah Neil Mission, Mr. Hayden to furnish one- half and Mr. Brooks tbe other. Tbis was also cheerfully acceded to, and the splendid donation of ten thousand bushels of coal to the poor of the city was the result. The Hocking Valley Railroad Company promptly entered into an understanding to transport this God-sent gilt to the city free of charge. It were difficult to express In words the beauty ot the genuine charity of this kind Christian action on the part of all concerned in its proposition and fulfilment.Tbe Hannah Neil Mission. The first regular fall of snow for the season suggests to the-mind ot the philanthropic among us the pitiable condition ot the inmates of the Hannah Neil Mission. We took occasion a short time since to partially describe the wretched condition of the old frame rookery, now occupied as a Home for the Friendless, and those of our citizens who are at all conversant with public matters, know tbat our description was, if anything, short of existing facts. Thanks to the active exertions of those Christian ladies, Mrs. Dr. Smith, Mrs. Dr. Ide. Mrs. Y. Anderson, and other?, a most gratifying response to their labors and appeals for help has been made, and tbey now hold ready for investment In the purchase of the old Idiotic Asylum property, nearly $8,000. The result is most gratifying, and entitles tbe ladies who have so faithfully performed their good work, to the lasting gratitude of our cemmunity. The poor children of the Mission, will now, thank God, have comfortable quarters for the winter. One of the workmen employed at the works ot the ObloTool Company had tbe misfortune to have the fingers of one of I his hands badly sawed on Saturday.

Advices from various sections bf the State are general that much damage has been done the past two weeks, to those crops whioh Jack Frost caught outside. Potatoes in the field suffered more than those under ground-. Other vegetables . have also suffered more or less. Apples on tbe trees are said to have ' been almost totally destroyed In some dls-, tricts. Corn was generally too ripe to be affected. Buckwheat was the only cereal hurt, but as farrners are apt to look on the dark side of such things, the report may be taken with a few grains of allowance. Changed her Gait. The fine black maie "Jessie," wbo, it will be remembered by many of our readers, paced her last hall mile at the Olentangy course in 1:13, a few weeks ago, has changed her gait to trotting. Mr. Lytle drove her on the same course on Friday last, when she trotted her first quarter in 37 seconds and her first half In 1:28. The day and track were each unfavorable, but the knowing ones predict a bright future for the black mare among the trotters.Billiards. Mr. Fred.
