Editor Chronicle Nothing of Importance
to you or your many readers has %transpired
of late in our town, consequently your cor
respondent Will extend his limits on this oc-
casion to county affairs. Having business
in your town, we started, ''ere the twilight
dawned the eastern hills among" and long
before the middle of the day, were snugly
placed beneath the care of osmiue host"
Chase, where we did justice to an ample din
ner, which dispelled all thoughts of famine
from our mind. Wishing to take q peep at
matters and things in the Court House, we
started across the street to the gate, and be-
fore we reached our destination, our pedal
extremities were submerged in mud and wa
ter, which decorates the walks of the eastern
part of the square. Where are our public
f~unctionaries? Why should they not see that
our public grounds IRE made ~passable? They
did a noble deed in expelling m%arauding
animals from the square, and now would
they not do we'll to grade the walks? Pass
ing into the court house we noticed above
fifty teachers being examined, preparatory to
the summer campaign. "A Teachers Insti-
tute was organized, for the benefit of the
teachers of Trumbull county, and every one
should avail themselves of the opportunity of
GS1 " many lullSS Cdu NC ACdIuCO
that will benefit those that contem plate
teaching in the future. According TO the
statement of Commissioner White, Trum-
bull county furnishes a larger number of.
teachers, accordingto the number of inhabi-
tants, and better schools, than any other
county in the State. This certainly ought
to be encouraging to all.
In passing along the street, we dropped in
to several places of business, and were very
much surprised at the naked appearance of
the shelves, which contained nothing in
comparison to what was displayed at the be-
ginning of winter, and all seemed busy DIS
posing of what remained.
This tells well for the business tact of our
merchants, and the liberality and refined
taste of our citizens, who are not surpassed
by those of any other county in the State.
We had been solicited by many friends for
a copy of our p~hysiognomy and consequent
" assembled the stairs at the Revolving Pyr-
amid" where Rice soon placed cur nasal
protuberance in close ju~xtaposidon with mas
camera. and after a few movements which
we did not understand. he emerged from his
dark retreat, and exhibited TO our view an
exact image, in miniature of opFself, which
did credit to the artist. ZEE.

SadAccIdenf.

At the Pittsburg Mill, in Green, on the
4th inst, a young mar named Joel Holman,
was accidentally killed, in the following
manner He was attempting to put a belt on
a pully, when his hand was caught in the
belt, drawing him over the shaft at the rate
of two hundred revolutions per minute
His arms were crushed to the shoulders, his
back broken, skull badl y broken, and both
his feet severed from his body. We do not
learn that any person is responsible for the
sad and fatal accident. He lived about two
hours in this condition, and had his reason to
the last.

Editor Chronicle For some time past the
Sheriff of Trumbull county, has been noticed
to be spending more of his time about this
place than has hitherto been the custom for
that functionsRy, ~srousing suspicious that
something was going to happen. On Thurs
day evening, the Sth inst. the mystery vas
solved by his summ0ning a posse, consisting
of the Rev. w. F. Milliken, and others,
and making a descent on the house of Al
mon Clark, Esq. capturing the eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. CLARK. To-day, March 9th, be-
ing very stormy, the sheriff holds the lady
in custody at the house of J. H. Laird, Esq.
We understand that the officer with lis
charge, viii start for Warren on Monday
We hope she will cause the sheriff no un-
necessary trouble, as any attempt 70 escape
would prove utterly unaVaililg. We under
stand that the offence Is of 9 purely person
al nature and concerns the sheriff himself
more than any one else, and that he has
long contemplated having it settled in g le

RRnOKFIELn-

Editor ChronicIe The rumsellers have
had the fidgets to some extent-or at least
some of them, those who were indicted Tor
selling whiskey by the efforts of the States
attorney and Grand Jurors, and by the aid
of witnesses who were picked up in the Court
House. Some of our landlords feel rather
wrathy towards some of the witnesses, for
not swearing to screen them from justice, and
they seem to have fixed their particular spite
upon me. because l was one of those sum-
moned, and was compelled to testify.
There were perhaps forty to fifty witness
es summoned for that purpose, among whom
were Messrs. Jackson, Price, Denison and
Sinclair. from Hubbard, Messr. Andrews
and Treat, from Vienna, and, l am told,
Mr.. M'Geehan and myself from Brookfeld.
Now 1 knew no more than the ''man in the
moon what 1 was summoned before the
Grand Jury for. 1 inquired of several of
the others if they knew. They said they.
did not. As TO entering a complaint against
those men voluntarily, I never thought of
doing so. Mr.. Scoville says that l did (;
that he was told that 1 entered the complaint.
Now 1 do not believe that anybody told him
so; nor lave / seen a man who does be-
lieve it.
Mr.. SeoVille goes on about this way
he SAYS, have YOU bought out Chew's inter
est in the hay-scafes yeti" l answered 'had
not" He said she would give me notice to
take them off his premises" THE scales are
on the side of the highway The elder
Scoville, then comes, and says that-''he
would give me notice to not hitch my horse
the other side of the highway, from their
.-'whiskey shop for he had been told that l
returned them for selling the article" L re-
monstrated with them, bat they 'srefused to
to be comforted." They also said a good
many things which 1 will not mention
One thing more, 1 will write. "If 1 had re-
turned him instead of his father he would
have had the satisfaction of whipping me"
Well, 1 am not a lighting man. nor a
shooting man. but 1 have known people
to become satisfied by undertaking just that
sort Of a job.
Now for Mr.. Shoff's turn on the pro-
gramme. 1 went to Payne's Corners, where
his constitution is located, to see the inter
ment of the remains ofElder Matthias Chris
ty. While waiting for the procession to
come, as the church was full, 1 went into
this bar-Ioom to warm. Nay, verify, 81
could not warm there, for 1 had returned
him for selling whiskey.'' 1 went from this
bar-room, shook the cigar stems and tobacco
juice from my feet.
Now if they tell that 1 returned them or
caused them to be returned, they tell a false
hood WYATT MCKAY.
