At the meeting held on the 24th of September, 1859, the name of Dr. A. J. Scott occurs in place of that of Levi Farnsworth.


The name of Rev. W. A. G. Emerson appears in the proceedings of April 13th, 1861, as the successor of Dr. Scott.


Mr. Barber having entered the military service near the close of 1861, Mr. C. W. Mykrants was appointed his successor.


The board of school examiners therefore, as con- stituted in 1862, is composed of Rev. John Robin- son, C. W. Mykrants, and Rev. W. A. G. Emerson.

METEOROLOGICAL PHENOMENA.


Synopsis of Meteorological Phenomena for nearly ten years, made at Savannah, Ohio, for the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D. C. By J. INGRAM, M.D.


Temperature .- The mean annual temperature for the period named was 49.92°; highest mean in any year, 51-55°, which was in 1858; lowest mean an- nual temperature in any year, 46.45°, which was in 1856.


The highest temperature in the shade within the above period, 104°, and happened on July 14th, 1859; lowest temperature observed during the same time was 24° below zero, on January 12, 1857.


The mean temperature for the three spring months was 46.87°; do. do. summer months, 72-82°; do. do. autumn, 49-43º; do. do. winter, 26.95°.


Frost .- The time free from frost during the period would vary from 56 to 102 days, and the time free from killing frost would vary from 92 to 128 days- giving a difference of 36 days, which, with a tempera- ture averaging 65° to 70°, would exercise a vast influ- ence on vegetable and animal life in the way of growth, maturity, decay, and disease.

HISTORY OF ASHLAND COUNTY.


Rain .- The mean annual amount of rain for the period was 41.325 inches; highest annual fall of rain, 52.024 inches; least do. 28.854 inches. These amounts include the snow in the form of melted water-ten inches of the former making one inch of the latter. The general course from whence most of our rains proceed may be seen by a glance at the fol- lowing table, showing the average amounts in any given direction for four years. From the N. 2.493 inches; NE. 1.467; E. 325; SE. 7.678; S. 1.339; SW. 18.618; W. 2.681; NW. 6.470.


The average number of rainy days in any one year is 85; do. of snowy days 23, making a general average of 108 days in a year on which rain or snow fell.


Wind .- In 4106 observations on the wind, it was observed to blow from the N. 125 times; NE. 180; E. 30; SE. 540; S. 55; SW. 1346; W. 669; NW. 1160.


Thunder .- 46 express the average number of days in which we have thunder-51 the highest, 39 the lowest.


Dew .- During some limited observations on dew and its relations to rain, the following facts were noted. The dew period extends from middle of April to middle of October, or 184 days.


In 326 dewy mornings there were 56 days on which rain fell, so that the mere fact of there being dew in the morning is no evidence that it will not rain that day. Also on 164 mornings of no dew, there were 47 days of no rain, and hence the absence of dew is no positive evidence of the fall of rain on the same day, although there is a probability in its favor of about 10 to 3.

The first and second Fairs were held at Hayesville, and the Fair for the current year, under the auspices of the Ohio State Board of Agriculture, was also held at Hayesville. The intermediate Fairs were held at Ashland.

HISTORY OF ASHLAND COUNTY.


THE JUNE FROST OF 1859.


As Northern Ohio was particularly desolated by this extraordinary visitation, it may not be inappro- priate in a work like this to make a brief record of its devastating effects. On that memorable Sunday morning, June 5, 1859, had a sheet of living flame passed over the face of the earth the preceding night, the vegetation that covered its hills and valleys could not have presented a more desolate appearance.


Mr. Jacob Ihrig, of our neighboring County of Wayne, in a communication to the State Commis- sioner of Statistics, writes :-


"The season of 1859 compares well with that of 1816. In each year we had frosts in every month of the year. In 1816, the frost did not do as much harm as in 1859. In 1859, since February, the weather had some extraordinary changes. Part of March, and the first part of April, the season was very favor- able, and appearances promised one of the best of harvests. The fall grain looked more healthy than usual until the fourth of June; after a rain, it clouded up and flakes of snow were flying. On the morning of the fifth, there was more than a common frost. It was a severe freeze. The ice was one-half to three- eighths of an inch thick. Everything froze of the plant kind. Wheat and rye froze in the blossom, corn in the stalk, potatoes and vines froze to the ground. Some of the corn recovered, and some did not. The weather was cold and changeable till the fourth day of July, in the morning, when there was another frost which froze the corn on the flat, swampy land a second time. On August eleventh and on

the twenty-eighth, we had frost. In May and Sep- tember we had light frosts, but I did not put them on record. The month of September was a favorable one. October ninth we had the first hard frost. It froze the corn-fodder and some soft corn. Since that, the fall has been favorable."


Dr. S. P. Hildreth, of Marietta, one of the oldest citizens of Ohio, and a scientific and most experienced observer, also writes to the Commissioner :-


"No similar disaster had fallen upon us since the settlement of Ohio, in 1788. In 1834, destructive frosts took place in May, as late as from the thirteenth to the eighteenth day, six mornings in succession, destroying all the fruit, and much corn and wheat. But the wheat was then in blossom, and where not plowed up, in a great measure recovered by pushing up new stalks from the uninjured roots, and produced a fair crop. The corn was replanted, and, warm rains succeeding, the farmer was blessed with a fair return for his labor by the kindness and loving favor of Him who has said, 'Seed time and harvest shall not fail.' Even so, this present year, where the fields were im- mediately replanted, as late as tenth of June, on rich and well-cultivated soil, the crop of corn was really good. The apple and peach crops were, in a great measure, destroyed all over Southern Ohio and the adjacent regions. The fruit had acquired the size of an almond or nutmeg, and most orchards were filled abundantly. It was a serious loss, as the previous year had been unfruitful, and no stores of dried apples were laid up by the farmers."


Some interesting matter in regard to the weather during the years 1816-17, and the years following, are furnished by Judge Ingmand, and will be found in its proper place.

HISTORY OF ASHLAND COUNTY.


The Ashland County Infirmary is probably as well and as judiciously managed as any similar institution in Ohio. The present Board of Directors consist of Messrs. D. K. Hull, J. S. Martin, and Joseph Strick- land. The immediate charge of the institution is confided to Mr. Edward Moore, Superintendent, and Mrs. Moore, Matron.


DIMINUTION OF POPULATION.


It will be observed that the population of several of the townships in the county has diminished within the last twelve years. This is caused by the sales of the small landholders, and their emigration West; and by the absorption of their places by the larger farmers. Sections of land that formerly sustained six and eight families, are now occupied by one and two families. It is very clear that this process has neither improved the tillage, nor added to the wealth of the county.
