EDITOR CHRoNIcLE:-Since your re-
quest that some one in each township
would give you items for publication, I
notice communications from several
towns, but none from our own, not be-
cause nothing occurs in our quiet town
worthy of note, but because there is so
little inclination on our part to elbow
our own horn" prefering TO let the trav
cling part of community do it for US
Now, Sir, it IS a fact worthy of notice, in
the first place. that we have as good soil
(f not better) as any other township in
the county. Secondly, we have the best
roads between Warren and Ashtabula.-
Thirdly, we are egotistical enough to
think that for good healthy morals we
can't be beat. We have no place where
Liquid damHatioa" is dealt out at ten cts.
a glass, or in any other form, nor do we
see any of cur citizens lying about loose,
or wallowing in the ditch, feeling for the
ground.
Now, for what we have done, and are
doing: I saw among the resolutions pass
ed at the dedication of the Nelson mon
ument, that, it was claimed Nelson was
in adrance of all other towns in doing
honor to their fallen heroes. We wish it
understood that Bristol was the first town
ship in the State of Ohio, and we think
in the United States, that erected a mon
ument to the memory of its fallen SOL
diers. As early as the fifteenth of Octo-
Der, 1868, we dedicated our soldiers
Monument, placing it in the centre
of the Common, and enclosing the
whole with a good, substantial fence,
painted white, forming a beautiful
park. Around the park we have set out
a row of white naples, fifty two in all
which are growing nicely. Then to or
nament the grounds still further, we
have planted about fifty ever-greens,
which are all living but two. When we
erected our Monument, we done the best
we could with our limited means; but
now the boys are all home from the army,
they too feel like doing something for
their fellow comrades; hence they have
concluded to replace the sand base with
a Quincy Granite, and put a marble shaft
on the top nine feet long, removing the
urn) so that the Monument when i'm
proved will stand about seventeen feet
high. The Bristol Thespian club will
give an exhibition soon for the purpose of
raising means to place an iron railing
around the Monument.
As one of the results of our enterprise,
real estate has gone up full fifty per cent.
in the township.
The trustees have just purchased of Col.
Hammond, grounds for a new cemetery,
West of the centre.
Yours,
II. D. NILES.

A merry Christmas, friend CHRONICLE |!
and may the heartfelt wishes of your
many friends be realized to you for many
a Christmas yet to come.
We can contribute but little to your
cloumn of local items from our quiet
town, but to that little you are quite well
come.
Property does not change hands with
much rapidity here. The only recent
sale that occurs to me now, is that DR..
Bronson has sold his homestead lot in
the village, to Mr.. D. 7. Robbins. The
Dr., by the way, has recovered his health to
some extent, and is busy as of old, in his
profession; he has associated in business
with DIR. Smith, a Surgeon but recently
returned from the army, who by his gen.
tlemanly appearance and pleasing address
has made a very favorable impression up
on community. The present prospect
here is not very encouraging for Doctors.
The health of our village was never bet
ter, and despite the severe sickness of
the past autumn, l do not think there is
a town in the county that can show a
lighter bill of mortality.
We have lately lost some valuable cit
liens, by their removal to other places
Mr.. Uri Merwin and his amiable family
have left US for Vineland, New Jersey;
as also Mr.. J. Cross and family. By the
removal of these families we are depriv-
ed of the service of both a Photographer
and a Jeweler. Our dentist, Dr.. Lyman,
has left u also; so that there is room for
good workmen in the three occupations.
Our saw and grist mills, our wollen fac
tories, pump factories and fax mill, are
all in full blast, as also Dur foundery.
Our townsman, Mr.. Fairchild, has late
ly received a patent for a water wheel Of
his invention, which those who have
tried and can judge, pronounce to be "just
the thing" He is busily engaged in
manufacturing them, and judging by the
orders that come for them, the business
bids fair to be permanent and profitable.
Mr.. Fairchild has also a shingle machine
in operation, which is doing good work
rapidly.

Editor Chronicle - Speaking of heavy
Steers, reminds me that Mr.. Seth Brock
way of this place, on the l4th of last Now,
weighed a pair of yearling steers, whose
weight was twenty-six hundred and sixty
pounds, (2660.) Say to your Fowler and
Rowland men, they will have to try
again, and if they should have any as
large, by all means let US know through
the Chronicle, and then re will try again.
Matters here remain in Statr gao. Snow,
rain, mud, frost, snow and buster, about
as in other places. We are glad to know
that the certificates of the Sherman Tes-
timonial have arrived. We have many
times wondered how the General was sue
ceeding in his new role, and whether he
has any ''big Steers" May his farm be a
resting place for him in his old age.

Many suppose that the Florence Sew
ing Machine is complicated from the fact
that it makes four distinct stitches on
one and the same machine, and has the
reversible feed. Such, however. is not
the case. The feed is reversed while the
machine is in motion, and you can also
change from one stitch to another with
out stopping the machine. Go to Kings

DeCordora,s Lecture.

Nh. j. DeCordovs, gave the third lee
ture of the Course, at Webb's Hall, on
last Friday evening, to a large audience.
Mr.. DeCordova had been warmly RECON-
mended by a Cleveland gentleman, one
of the lecture committee of that city, to
gentlemen of Warren, as the "star of the
season." the great Humorist CT New
York City" The ZTmes newspaper, of
that city, gave him a position along side
of Dickens, Thackery, and other worthless,
conveying the4impression that he @Tas a
most extraordinary wit and humorist.
The subject of his lecture here was
Courtship and Marriage, although he had
been advertised to lecture on "Amatuer
TheatrIcals." Probably the audience did
not lose anything by the change, as the
lecturer thought he gave the best of his
productions. What the others may be,
re presume no one who heard him here,
would care to learn. Mr.. Decor dova is
zone grand humbug," and if he is the
great Humorist of New York." the les
ser e must be cheap clowns indeed.
His p~retensions to being classed as a wit
and humorist, are sheer imposture. His
silly story might be admitted to a third
rate magazine, or if rejected there, be
tolerated in a cheap comic almanac. But
such stuff compiled into the shape of a
lecture, and rehearsed to intelligent and
respectable audiences, as irst-class wit, is
a feat in literary galranism that cannot
be practised twice on the same commune
ty. fany neighboring city or towns have
in contemplation the engagement of De
CordoVa to lecture, we advise them to
trade him off for "Hun-kido-ri," who is
the more witty and sharper fool of the
two.
