The results of the "new depart ure" immediately became visible in the enhanced circulation of the paper. which, during the four years of the war, increased from about 1,300 to about 2,500 copies, weekly.

Canheld, each a one-third interest in The Beacon, the firm name being changed to Elkins, Lane Co. This arrangement contin ued two years, myself as editor, Beebe Elkins as business managers and Mr.

Canfield in charge of the mechanical department. In January. 1867, the remaining one-third interest of Beebe Elkins was purchased by Albertis L. raine and Hems Long, toremer ap prentices in the office, and taithtul sol diers during the war, the Summit County Journal those gentle men published by becoming thenceforth merged into The Beacon. The name of the new firm was Lane, Canheld to the sole editorial duties being pertormed bv myselt until tne VV inter ot 1868-69 when Mr.

nomas C. Ravnolds. then freshly graduated from Michigan University, but with decided iournalistic proclivities, was employed as assistant editor ana local reporter. The speaker then spoke in pleasing strain of the inauguration, in 1867, of the pay-in-advance system and tnen said: In the meantime Akron had grown from a village of 3.000 inhabitants in 1850 to a citv of 10.000 in 1869, with an augmented commercial and manufac turing activity to match, creating a demand for something faster than a weekly local paper. To satisfy this demand, after a careful survey of the field, Messrs.

Lane, Canfield on the Oth day of December, 1869, issued the first number of The Akron Daily Beacon, a seven column folio, myself, as editor-in-chief, and Mr. Reynolds, asas-istant, doing the entire editorial and reportorial work. 'Though quite a liberal advertising patronage was at once accorded the daily by the liberal-minded business men of Akron, it average daily circulation the farst year was only about 600. Gradually, however, the people have come to ap preciate its worth, as a gatherer and disseminator of local as well as fresh general news, until now its average daily circulation is a little over 2,200. In une, 1870, Mr.

Raynolds severed his connection with the paper, Mr. Car son Lake, then a compositor in the office, taking his place, and for several weeks, in the Summer and Fall of that year, during the illness and absence of the editor-in-chief from the office, performing the entire editorial and reportorial work upon the paper. In December, 1871, the establishment was transferred to the Beacon Publishing Company, Messrs. Canfield and Paine retiring from the concern, and myself and Mr. Long retaining our respective one-third and one-sixth shares as stock in the new corporation in organizing the new company your speaker was elected Business Manager, and Mr.

Long Secretary, he continuing, also, to act as superintendent of the news department. At this time, too, Mr. Raynolds was recalled and placed in charge ot the editorial department of the paper, in which capac ity, with the exception of one short in terregnum, he has since acted with Mr. Wilson M. Day as his able and faithful lieutenant.

Mr. Lane then told the story of the are or April 27, 18 1 2, which destroyed the entire establishment but did not cause the suspension of a single issue the rebuilding and enlargement of the old Beacon block; the heavy loss, which caused the sacrifice of the entire stock and its, purchase by a new company composed or Messrs, Thos.

Mr. C.

C. Bronson, of Tallmadge, up on call ably responded to the toast "Past and Present of Summit County Said the speaker: By act of the Legislature, the county of Summit was brought into existence March 3, 1810, and by the election of of ficers it was organized into a county A.pril 6, 1810. Thus 41 years only has it oeen in existence, a rather short time to make history. But when we look into the past we find young Summit has a history that some of her older sister counties might feel proud of. lie this as it may, there are many things worthy or our consideration, We are on the great water-shed, or di vide, between the water that runs into Cuyahoga Kiver, and mingles with the ocean at the liuir or St.

Lawrence, and that which runs south into the Tusca rawas River, mingling with the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and falling into cne uuir or Mexico, xne inaian trails across the county of Summit are worthy of a few moments attention First there was the great Indian trail the highway of savages, that came from the Northwest around the south end of Michigan, cross ing the country near the line between Michigan and Indiana, run ning in both states and into Ohio, crossing the Maumee at Perrysburg.the sanausKy at remont, tnence across the country to the Cuyahoga and Port age. Here the river was lorded, the trail crossing Northampton and Stow townships, by the south end of Silver Lake, and into Franklin, into Portage County, crossing the Cuyahoga at the Standing Stone, by the Salt Spring to the torks ot the Ohio, Pittsburgh. An other trail left this where it crossed Fish creek in Stow, takiner northwesterly course, ana crossing tae center roaa near the Jvil bourn farm in Hudson; thence to Ponty's Camp in Boston. A trail left at the Portage, taking a southeast course, crossing the Little Cuyahoga at its mouth, ana tnen crossing it again at Gilcrest Mill and King J. Ellet's, ana tnence to tne unio mver at ateu-benville or Wellsville.

But the most important is the cele brated Portage Path. This old high way ot tne savage nations is classic ground almost- The Indians with their canoes, when they wished to cross the country from Lake Erie to the Ohio iiiver, made this one ot their princiDal routes. Leaving Lake Erie, they would ascend the Cuyahoga River, to the point well known as Cuyahoga, or Old Portage. Here they lett the river and carried their canoes, with other possessions, across to the Tuscarawas River, near where the road cross es the Tuscarawas, leading from Akron to Manchester. The Portage Path was surveyed by Moses Warren.

of the Connecticut Land Company, in 1797, aud he found it to be eight miles ana rour chains ana 5o tiniss long, if I am correctly informed, this celebrated path is a well-defined highway from the Portage up the hill.thence in a southerly course to the stone house, the residence of our venerable fellow-citizen, Simon Perkins. Thence to the Tuscarawas on the Summit County Atlas, it is well de- hned by a dotted line marked, Portage Path or Indian Trail. Mr. Warren in his report says: "After ascending the hill west of the Cuyahoga Portage, the land will admit of a good road being built to the Indian Portage on the Tus carawas, ueuerai liierce locates the Indian Portage at what is at this day New Portage. This was as far as flat boats ascended the Tuscarawas, but the Indians ascended about two miles more in their canoes.

The speaker next turned his atten tion to the interesting storical events leading to the setting ff of the North west territory rererrea to tne nrst set tlement in Summit County, in Hudson in 1799, by David Hudson the first eel-, in in 1800; the hrst birth ot a white child the county, at Hudson, October 28, lbOO, being Anner Mary, daughter ot David and Anna Hudson the first marriage, that of George Harrow and Olive Gay lord, October 11, 1801 the first trame erected, a barn, by Hudson in 1802, and in conclusion said: The great Droiect of Lievvitt Clinton. to build the Erie Canal, when it went into operation, caused a visible change. Then wnen tne Ohio Canal was located across the Portage Summit, Middle- bury held a jubilee, for Akron was no where. But when the Canal Commis sioners let the jobs to the various men who put in proposals, Akron received its name and began to be populous Inuct busineTandryatwoan8e fhad eignt, ror tnat aay, neavy ary goous stores, in lull blast, two nouring mills were in operation mMiame bury one at Cuyahoga alis, which opened a market for wheat.which had previously been naraiy worth raising beyond family consumption. Now Summit County has great facilities, by canal and by the railroads, two of which run northerly and southerly, and one noth-east and southwest, passing through Akron, her county seat.

And the other places are receiving great benefit trom the same sources. From all this may we not draw a safe inference that the people of Summit County may feel proud of her ipast history, and not be ashamed by any means ot her present history, while they entertain great hopes of her future. power of the press. "Power of the Newspaper tne sentiment to which Mr. T.

C. llay- noias, eaitor ot The Beacon, was called upon to respond. Mr. Raynolds briefly impressed the point that the power or a newspaper and its influence are gauged by the sincerity of its management. As public confidence in that increases, a paper's true influence in creases, a fact that was illustrated by citing several cases.

telegraph and telephone. To the toast, "The Telegraph and the Telephone in iteiation to the fress, Mr. w. M. Hay, associate editor ot the Beacon, responded by referring.by way of contrast, to the fact that in 1841, when President Harrison died, it was ten days before the news reached Springfield, 111., and then Abraham Lin coln would not believe it, because it seemed impossible to have come in so short a time, while, a few days ago within four minutes from the moment Iroquois passed the wire, the first American horse to win the English Derby, the news was going into type iu the othce ot the JSlew 1 ork 1 tlearam.

To the telegraph the newspaper owed much, as it would in the future owe a great deal more to the telephone and kindred inventions. In illustration of what had been said by the previous speaker, Mr. Raynolds read from dispatches just received, to show how the news of the world comes in. moral responsibility of the press. "The Moral Responsibility of the Press" was the next toast, response by itev.

A. Mch-instry, ot Twinsburg. The speaker presented some very ex cellent thoughts and well worthy the consideration of every honest and fair-minded journalist. While it is impos sible to give his remarks in full, we herewith give a mere outline, which will only partially do credit to the ad-mirable-effort of the gentleman. He said in substance: Marvelous is the power of thought as the kindler of thought.

Who, of you, when you hear the utterances of a speaker can report them as they were given But the press takes them down, and prints tnem. paper becomes a tongue a thousand fold. While it is extremely difficult for a speaker to make himself heard to 1,200 or i.duo people, the press will speak easily to 100,000. Yes, truly the press repeats the utterances or the tongue. Who will show us any good in news papers? is a question sometimes asked.

With all their short-comings and high coloring oiten, tne newspaper give3 us tne Dest nistory or events as they hap pen. It is well known that the air, when poisoned with impurities has its effect on the individual. If we breathe im pure air we suffer. If it becomes tainted we detect it. Reading is like the air we breathe it has its effects.

The mind is more easily effected by the taint or impurity, nence now essential it is tnat we snouia exercise care in reading. The air is affected by impurities rrom an unKnown source. Ttre escape or roui gas irom an unsuspected quarter may produce disastrous re- suits. So it is with the moral atmos phere; it may be affected from an un suspected source. Herein comes the responsibility of the editor.

The news paper should avoid placing before its readers that which may be fraught with harm. The newspapers should give wholesome good, free from pollu tion. raise neea what you publish is the significant remark of a great writer. It is frequently claimed that the newspaper should adapt itseir to tne public taste on tne contrary, tne press must be a guide to the good and true. It is neces sary also, that it should not be irreligious.

Indwelling upon this thought tne speaner snowea tnat within the last 50 years a great change has ta- Ken piace. At one time tne newspa pers would not give a half column's space to religious matters. But to-day the press devotes considerable space to religious topics. The religious press in times gone by had nothing to do with secular matters. The New York Observer was the first to tive a column of secular news.

If the religious press uau given space to secular news, tne secular press has more than retaliated by the amount of religious news it gives. The newspaper is the instructor of the age. It is bound to see that all is for good. A wholesome newspaper is a blessing not to be estimated by gold ana silver. Liong lire to the Akron Beacon; may its light go forth on its mission to guide and to bless.

National Bank Reports.

An abstract of the reports of the Na tional banks showing their condition on the 0th of May, 1881, shows that the total amount of specie held by the banks on that day was 122,628,562, or seven teen and a half millions more than at the last previous statement on the 11th of March, and thirty-six millions more than on the 23d of April, 1880. The specie now held by the banks is composed of $114,600,000 of gold coin, and 8.000,000 of silver. Of the gold coin 844,000,000 is composed of gold clearing-house certificates, 351,000 of gold United States Treasury certificates. Of the silver coin the banks hold $1,250,000 only of silver certificates. The banks also hold 561,290 ot legal tender notes, of which $8,045,000 are Treasury certificates.

This is much the largest amount of specie ever held by the national banks ot the country.

One might be easily led to believe that those nimble warriors, Colorado, or Potato Bugs, were rightly named "Colorado." That word is Scandina vian for taking folks and things by the collar and jerking 'em.

If the reader doubts the swiftness of said bugs in jerking things, said reader can be sat isfied by observing a newly-married pair as they set up house-keeping on potato vine. lhey will get married, "move in" on hill of potatoes, have the undersid- of a half dozen potato leaves covered with beetle-babies, and the remainder of the "hill" all chawed up and put pur, away where a search warrant would fail to find it and do all this in one day. They are business folks, these Dugs are. We don hold any grudge agin 'em, but when they eat up an the vines, ana men aig wells down in tne airt ana matte a bug rope by holding on to each others' legs so as to reach down after the seed-potatoes, we think that is carry ing the war into Africa a little too far or too deep; we think such bugs as those are fanatics. It's all well enough, out when they eat up tne toiiage and the stalk, and then go down for the seed, they show themselves to be fa natics, and all good folks must shun them.

A dangerous weapon has made its appearance, which passes for a toy pistol, and is being sold to small boys by the gross. It is intended to be used in firing blank cartridges for Fourth of July amusement, but will take in a cartridge loaded with ball just as easily, and it does not require a prophet's vision to foresee that such cartridges will be frequently used, by accident or purposely. Some of the boys are filling up the barrels of these dangerous play things with sand after having loaded them with a blank cartridge.

No better means of blowing out eyes could be devised. Should a pebble happen to find its way into the barrel with the sand, life would be endangered. The pistols are marked but not have the manufacturer's name upon them. Two dozen of them have been sold by a single groceryman in Southside. Ex-Senator Lord, Im pressed with the dangerous character or the so-called "toy.

tested one or them by placing a buck-shot in the Darrei atter loading it witn a DianK cartridge. When fired off, the buckshot was imbedded in a board to the depth of three-quarters of an inch. So dangerous a toy should not be sold. Its sale ought to be suppressed by tne authorities. It certainly comes within the meaning of the statute forbidding the carrying ot concealed or aangerous weapons.

GATHERING OF CORRESPOND ENTS, PROPRIETORS AND EMPLOYES IN PHOENIX HALL. A FINE SPREAD AND SOME AF TER-DINNER TALKS OF INTEREST TO THE FRATERNITY.

From Daily Beacon, June 11, 1881 It has been the cherished desire of several Beacon correspondents, tor a few years past, to hold a general gath ering or reunion of the correspondents, employes and others identified with The Beacon. This idea was partially carried out last Fall during the Fair of the Summit County Agricultural So ciety, where a few of the correspond ents got together in one of the dining halls, and enjoyed a pleasant time. This little reunion had the effect only to kindle a stronger desire for a more general gathering, which finally culmi nated in the one held yesterday. At a meeting of several of the more active correspondents, an executive committee consisting of Rev. Daniel Emerson, of Peninsula; W.

J. Schrop, of Springfield, and Wellington Miller, of Norton, was appointed to make all the necessary arrangements, prepare a nroe-ramme. fix the date and place of mnp.t.inir. In due course of time all the preliminaries were arranged, and invitations sent out for a basket pic- nirt. Fountain Park was selected as the nlace at which to hold the reunion hut the heavv rains of the past few navs caused a change.

The remainder of the forenoon was passed in social con verse, and in becoming acquainted one with another. A little after high noon the party, over 50 in all, sat down to a sumptuous repast, prepared hv th ladies.

When the tables had been pretty well cleared of the substantial. Mr. W. J. Schrop, Chairman of the committee, called the meeting to order.

Rev. D. Emerson was selected chair man, and W. J. Schrop, Secretary.

REV. T. EMERSON'S ADDRESS OF WEL COME. Upon assuming the chair, Mr. Emer son thanked the meeting for the honor conferred, and said: We are met to gether on a new and most interesting occasion.

More than 40 ladies and and gentlemen, distributed through this county and its vicinity as regular correspondents, together with the ed itors. nrinters and other co-laborers on The Beacon, have been invited to meet together for the first time, and see one another face to face. As a band alm.iat ot Drotners and sisters, we hav been engaged in a common cause, and from week to week, and some ot us from day to day, have mutually spread the common labor of our minds and our hands before the eyes of each oth er. The speaker referred to the fact that moat of the correspondents were known to each other only by their noms de nlume and said that in order to be come acciuainted with each other the roll would be called and each corre spondent was to answer mpropriaper- sona. He tnen spoKe oi ma gtautuue for the gift of a well-regulated news paper; paid a generous tribute to The Beacon, and closed by bidding welcome to all present.

His remarks were greeted with applause. "the beacon's history." Though dealing with "dry facts." so- called, tne next response, mat oi aiayor S. A. Liane to the toast, "i-asi nistory of The Beacon proved most interest ing aud instructive. In opening, Mr, Lane referred to the fact that the day thus celebrated was the anniver sary of his advent to Akron and fol lowed this by the story of ho he first ac uired a taste for iournalism his tak ing a temporary position in a Southern newspaper office in 1834, while, as book canvasser, awaiting in Georgia, consignment of books from the North The taste thus developed led, on his re turn to Akron three years later, to nis purchase of a dismantled newspaper office and the starting of the famous Akron Buzzard.

Out of the discontin uanceof the Buzzard grew.in 1839, The Summit Beacon, as the successor oi the American Balance, with Mr. Hiram Bowen as editor. He then continued Notwithstanding its flush financial start on the 11th day of April, 1839, and notwithstanding it became the official organ of the Whig party and the new county of Summit, erected in 1840. The Beacon, like most of the weekly papers of the Western country at that early day, had a hard struggle for existence for several years. But, thrnuc-h the pluck and energy of its founder, and the increasing ability and liberality of the business men of the town and county its success became finallv assured and though its offices of nuhlication and their entire con tents have three several times been consumed bv fire, the paper.

Single-han'ed and alone I performed the entire editorial duties of the office, besides doing considerable canvassing throughout the county both for subscriptions and for local items. It was my aim to make The Beacon more thoroughly a Home paper than it had hitherto been, by giving more attention to local matters than was then customary witn the weekly papers of the country. I established, as far as was then practic able, the system of township correspondence which is now so valuable a feature of the paper, and which is the occasion of this happy gathering here LOCAL NOTES.
