will join them Saturday. Mr. Robt. Dorsey accompanies them as cook.Very much to the regret ot the average citizen the b.rry season is over. No other fruit can take the place of the berry fcrtable use. And this leads us to remark that the greater part of the be rries that were furnished for the Coshocton market came Jrom the berry farm of Mr. Joseph Madison, near Chili. Mr. Madison visited Coshocton daily during the strawberry and raspberry season, and the public will bear us out in saying that his berries were large and luscious, and the ras1 berries, especially, the best ever sold in this market. Mr. Madison has been growing berries for years, has studied the habits of the different varieties, and is therefore an authority upon the subject. He tells us that of the raspberry, th.i purple—.he variety he marketed freely here this season— is the most prolific, and that ihey will yield ai least double the fjiiantily any black cap will yield, li is a cross between the Gregg black cap and the red berry and is a native of this county, the first hiving been grown by “a man named Elliott. Mr. Madison has cultivated and improved it, and finds it exceedingly profitable.Joseph W. Curtis vs. John C. Milligan. Action for damages. Amount churned, $1077.26.The above suit was commenced in Common Picas Couit this week by Voorhees and Hunt, attorneys For plaintiff. The petition recites that George Greer was possessed of certain 1 intis in Clark township, that he died in January, 1885, and that the defendant, John C. Milligan, was duly appointed executor of the last will and testament of the deceased; that as executor he offered for sale the land, and while offering it, announced that there was a mortgage on it held by Wm. McLaughlin for $1092, but that there were no other claims. The land was not sold on the clay it was first offered, but it was sold to the plaintiff on March to, 1885, for $1400 on the representation that it was free from all encumbrances, but when the deed was made it read, “but subject to existing mortgages thereon. At the time of the sale there was a mortgage for $1000 held by John C. Elliott, and in April, 1886, Elliott foreclosed the mortgage, and the premises were sold, and ihe plaintiff dispossessed, lie asks for judgment for $1077 27, the amount he expended in purchasing and repairing the farm.The Republican County Convention neglected to appoint delegates to the Congressional Convention, and the duly therefore devoices upon the Executive Committee.

The German carp is broader and thicker than the white fish and grows very rapidly. They do not feed upon their young, as do the native fish, but will eat vegetables, grain, the food most used being boiled potatoes and bran, or shorts or corn meal. The rapidity of their growth may best be illustrated by Mr. Madison’s experience. In May of last year he stocked a pond with carp that were four inches in length, and at the commencement of the succeeding October they measured from 10 to 11 yz inches in length. The ponds should be at least four feet deep, and as much deeper as possible, and should be fed by clear water— spring water being preferable, although Mr. Madison has his fed by both a spring and a brook. In Crawford township there are several ponds, and in the adjoining township in Holmes county nearly every farmer who possesses a spring or brook has a fish pond well slocked will, carp, out of which lie supplies his wants. There is no good reason why any farmer in the county, especially in the hill lands, should be without a good supply of fish throughout the year.Camp Kokosicg.The third brigade encampment at Mt. Vernon came to' i clore Monday evening, and the Coshocton bo^s arriv-cdhome Tuesday evening, having been detained :n Newaik to attend the funeral of a former Major of the 17th regiment, Judge Chas. Montgomery', who died at his home in Kansas, but was brought to Newark for intermentThe boys of Co. F are unstinted in [heir praise of everything connected with the encampment, and unhesitatingly condemn certain reports that were sent out in derision of the place and the command. From the Mt. Vernon Daily Tribune we make some excerpts:THE SlIAM RATTLE.The central event of the week was the sham battle Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. It is estimated that 10,-000 people witnessed the display. The hills to the west of the camp were almost a solid mass of people and vehicles. People were everywhere, and took the deepest interest in the movements of the troops. The Union troops were on the north of the parade-grounds in the camp and defending it, ihe Johnny Rebsbeing concealed behind the fence and margin of bushes and brush bordering the parade ground on the south and massed behind the battery on the hill. The Reb’s had one battery stationed on their right onthe hill, and another in the hollo w, masked behind a clump of trees. The Union batterries were stationed opposite the center of the line of battle. Col-onel^ F. V. Flick of the 5th regiment was in command of the Union forces, and Lt. Col. Gyger, of the 8th regiment, in com . and of the Rebels. The battle opened by a volly from the Rebel masked battery, which was followed by the sounding of the long roll in the Union camp. The Union troops formed rapidly and advanced to the field ot batile in double-quick, and their batteries replied effectively to the Rebel guns. The Rebel skirmishers then appeared at the fence and opened on the Union line. The rebels next appeared in mass on the Union lelt, by a pretty flank movement captured the Union battery after it had been dismounted by the Unionist. The Rebels mounted the guns and turned them on the Union iorces, but the battery was i speedily recaptured by the Union troops charging. Captain Price, with Co. F, 17th, double-quicked along the fence, crept up the hill on hands and knees, then rose, charged and captured the Rebel battery on the summit, The Rebels then surrenderd, the boys in blue cheered lustily, and the sham battle twas over.General Axline, in commenting on the engagement, said he though it was excellent; that the movements were carried out perfectly, and- reflected great credit on those who arranged them.Fish ponds are becoming more plentiful in this county, and-before long German carp produced in Coshocton county fish ponds will be in the Coshocton market. Mr. Joseph Madison, of Crawford township, expects to engage in the business of growing German carp for home consumption, and with this end in view has now two large fish ponds stocked, another ready to stock and is constructing a fourth, and has in his ponds probably a million—at least many thousand—carp from two to two and a half inches in length. Besides these he has some two-year-olds thatCOSHOCTON GUARDS.Co, F. was organized in Sept.,. 1876, with E. J. Pocack, captain, S. M. Price, first_ lieutenant, Wm. Markley, second lieutenant. In the summer of .7.7, on the formation of the .17th regt.,\ Captain Pocock was' made are from 13 to 14 inches in length, lieutenant-colonel of the regiment, and m and some three-year-olds that are! Lieut. Price was made captain, whichA fine dress parade was held in the evening, and as day by day passes, Col. Pocock becomes more and more delighted with this parade. He remarked last evening that hejnever saw finer wheels made than were made by all the companies. He had not a single fault to find with any company. He was very much elated with such a condition of affairs, and well he may be. The men like him so well that they will do anything for him. He is also much pleased with the conduct preserved on the grounds, and, although the work devolving upoa him is very hard, he takes much \pride in the condition of the camp and the favorable comments made upon it.
