EAST MECCA.

January 81, 1866.
In religious matters we are a meeting go
ing people, each one attending such church
es on lions Hill as best agrees with his pe-
culiar sentiments. Rev. Higbee, of the Free
will Baptist, and Rev. Campbell, of the Con-
gregational church, proclaim the Word al
ternately in the east church, which has been
recently repaired, painted and by the addi-
ton of window shutters, is much improved
Rev. Waterman ministers in the regular
Baptist church each Sabbath. The Disciples
are holding a protracted effort in the Meth
odist church west Of the creek; as to the sue
cess we have been unable to learn.
We observed the week of prayer, BY a
union prayer meeting each evening during
the week, and an appropriate sermon Sab
bath morning.
The several churches united their interests
and the result was a fine time generally for
the Sunday School children, and many 9TH
ers who partook of the fruits of our Christ
mas tree, which was a happy affair.
Schools seem to be in a prosperous condi-
ton, and well attended. We notice one of
the teachers wears the blue, and 1 understand
he was one of the first that enlisted in the
noble l25th, and only returned last October,
which is another proof of the ready manner
we as a people adopt ourselves to the work
before us. He comes home however, crippled
in his right arm, and is worthy of the pat
ronage bestowed upon him.
The Mecca cheese factory closed with the
season. Owing to some dissatisfaction we
are afraid it will not be opened in the spring.
A moderate BUSINESSES going on in the Oil
line. Only two wells are being pumped at
present. One on the farm of w. Shaw, the
other on the farm of F. W. Rice. Both
claimed as paying well. H

EDITOR CHRONICLE Noticing that one
of your correspondents said, that ewe were
out in the cold" we thought we would step
in and get warm, for we have had pretty
cold weather for two or three days past. And
think if ground hog or woodchuck storie:
are true, we will nave cold weather for sew
eral days to come.
We have seven school districts, all OF
which except one are taught by teachers OF
our own township. Three are taught by
teachers residing in their own districts. Be
sides, there are several others who are teach
ing out of the township. According to my
recollection, Lordstown has produced, within
the last ten or twelve years forty-tive teach
ers; and we believe has produced more
teachers than any other township of the
same population in the county. If any are
doing better than this or are teaching your
schools Independently with one exception, }
we would like to hear from you. And as to
religion, l think we are not a collaboration
people" We have four Churches in our
to Knship. The United Brethren lave had
a protracted meeting in the southeast part,
in which several conversions were made, and
much good accomplished. The Lutheran
Church, in the northwest part of town has
had a late revival, at which the old mem
bers nave been revived up; and several add
ed to their number. The Methodist Church
in tie centre of our township, are now hav-
ing a protracted meeting which no doubt
will result in much good. A few days ago,
a donation was held at the residence of Rev.
VanCamp, at which Rev. gentleman and
wife were the happy recipients of SOS, in
money, eatables, etc. BEE.

FEB. Ith, 1866.
DEAR CHRoNIcLE:-Some of our good CIT
liens have recently been seized with the
Southern fever" Thus far it has seemed
contagious, yet We hope, however, that some
remedy may be discovered that will prevent
its spreading to any alarming extent.
Our Sabbath Schools nave been sustained
through the winter, and are in quite a -four
ishing condition. Last Sabbath evening
the children of the "East Church. gave a
Concert under the superintendent of G. j.
Hickox, Esq. Between forty and fifty chill
dren with sparkling eyes and animated voices,
commenced the concert by singing ''The
Better Land" This was followed by recita-
tons in verses and Bible passages by each
class. These exercises were interpreted
with singing, in which their bird like voices
rang out sweet and clear. In every instance
they acquitted themselves in q manner highly
creditable, both to themselves and their wor-
thy superintendent.
Elder Higbee made some quite interesting
and instructive remarks. He commenced by
saying that he 'thardly dared to speak after
listening to so many youthful orators."-
This greatly fattered the "Wee Folks" and
they will long remember the Elders pleas
ant and agreeable talk with them. He was
followed by the Messrs. .Betch, Cowdrey and
Buck. Their remarks were appropriate, and
were listend to with eager attention by the
rolU of little heads before them. Mr.. Cow
drey compared the school to an Evergreen
Tree and wished to know "In what partic-
ular it resembled one?" Several answered
very promptly: because it lives in the
winter" All dispersed and went to their
homes highly delighted with all they had
witnessed.
The coil excitement still continues to
some extent, and many a dad has struck
lle,' to the joy and pride Of a numerous
progeny. We, on the east side of the creek,
hav'nt yet realized the full benefit of such
discoveries, yet we live in delightful antici-
pations of thai event. JUNO.

The Lecture Tonight.

This evening, February 18th. Rev. A. A.
WiIIetts, D. d., of Brooklin, n. Y, delivers
his lecture on Sunshine" as announced by
the committee. That it will be one of the
gems of the course, from the well-established
reputation of Mr.. WIllitts, as a lecturer, we
do not doubt. Among the many highly
laudatory notices of Mr.. Willetts and his lee
zture; we make the following extract from q
long article in the Daily Press published in
Portland, Maine, in which city Mr.. W. lee
tured on the evening of Jan. 4th. The Press
says.
at was a capital lecture, full of sunshine
and instruction, which will not soon be for
gotten. In all the lectures zoe hare heard ia
this Hall, zoe hare heard none that gaUe mere
pleasure than this. His form, face, express
ion, tone of voice, manner-an seemed to be
adapted TO his theme, and made his audience
feel and think just as he did. All were hap
py together, and the hour and a half passed
most agreeably."

Editor Chronicle As l consider the
town correspondence a very interesting
part of the Chronicle, 1 wish to contribute
slightly to its interest. While the differ
emit enterprises here have been noticed.
such as schools, lyceums, reading room,
the commendable suppression of the
liquor traffic by common consent, &C., &c,
our excellent singing school has not been
noticed. Our school is conducted by Mr..
AMAsA LITTLE, a very competent and ex-
perienced teacher, and is composed of
about 100 scholars. 1 understand Mr..
Little intends to have a public concert at
the close of his school, and those that
have attended Mr.. Little's concerts know
that he never fails to have a good thing.
We have also a Mozart society organized
here, conducted by Messrs Amasa Little
and..Richard Melvin, which is flourish
ing nicely, and by the way the young
folks pair off after school, we judge them
to be interesting to the boys and girls at
least. In fact it makes your correspond
emit feel young again, as in days of yore.

Exquisite workmanship.

We were shown q plain gold lady's ring,
1 recently, about th-ree-sixteenths Of an inch in
breadth, on the inside Of which was engrav-
\ed in legible artistic style, the whole
of the Lords Prayer. Besides this,
the lady's name and the date at which the
ring had been presented to her, were delicate
ly engraved on the inside. Ofcourse none but
a master workman, with steady hand and ex-
quisite taste, could perform so great a ehiro-
graphic feat with the ~engraver's pen. The
work is not the achievement of a great city
artist, few of which can equal, and fewer
still excel it, but was accomplished by a
Warren gentleman, Mr.. THADDEUs AcK-
LEY, whose skill for years past has been
beautifully illustrated on many a handsome
piece of plate, or fine watch and elegant or
nament- Mr.. Ackley, although a young
man, is one of the best workmen in the
State, and is not only thorough but perfectly
reliable. He combines a full knowledge of
the watch making business with the ae-
complished skill of the letter engraver, in
which respect he has few rivals. There are
good engravers and good watch makers, but
rarely is their q workman found who COM
blnes the skill of both branches. We take
pleasure in recording Mr.. AcKLEY's success,
knowing that he has risen form the bottom
round by his industry, perseverance and in
tegrity, and believe that enviable success and
distinction are within his reach.

We have made arrangements by which We
can insure the lives of all persons, whether
they are in good health or bad. Heretofore
only sound persons could get Insurance.
Now, we can Insure those whose health may
be impaired. This will meet the wants Of
many who have been deprived of the priv,
lege of providing for their families, should
they be left dependent.
We are ready to receive applications al
once. Those whose cases have been declined
by other Companies should apply without
delay. Rates are moderate, and the Compa-
ny reliable; standing second to none for re-

In the matter of Life Insurance, delay is
folly: Apply at once, and provide for the

great credit for this effort, and we hope in
any future enterprise they may engage in,
they will be as successful as they have been
in this. This township has recently lost
three of our most worthy citizens; but what
Bristol has lost Warren has gained. DR.. G.

ship and vicinity, had greatly endeared him

professional mantle has fallen on a very
skillful physician located here, we should
not consent to his removal to your town with
a very good grace.

neither of them lack energy. SELIN.

BRACEVILLE.

Feb, 18th, 1866.
EDITOR CHRONICLE have, this week,
to record another donation. Rev. A. Cone,
Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in this
place, was the recipient of one on Tuesday
evening of last week. As Rev. Cone re-
sides at Newton Falls, the donation was held
at the church here, it being the most central
and convenient place to hold 1t. AT an
early hour the company began to arrive, la
dened with edibles, and cotinued to arrive
until the house was we'll filed. i table was
spread and loaded with things good to eat,
which presented a tempting appearance. The
company became seated and listened to re-
marks and a prayer by Rev. Cone, ~appropri-
ate to the occasion, after which those present
were waited upon by the committee with re-
freshments frem the table, of which there
was IN abundance, and if any went away
hungry it was not for the want of ~rations, or
attention on the part of the walters. About
S65 was donated, mostly in cash. The
amount donated to Rev. j. Graham of which
1 spoke last week was $50. Aside from do
nations our town has been very quiet for the
past month. Business is generally dull.
Our telegraph Office is yet it operation and
bids fair to continue. If any thing ''turns
up" you may hear again from,

EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-As correspondents
from Hartford lave passed US over without
ever the compliment of an a~llusion, we are
disposed to speak for ourselves.
This is a quiet hamlet, blessed with peace
and plenty. We have two common schools,
well attended, and competently managed
We have one Church, Methodist Episcopal,
at which there is usually a good congrega-
ton. The pastor is Rev. Eddy, who is now
in the fftieth year of his ministry-s vetran
in the army of the Lord, bound to "die in the
harness"
Considerable is done here in the lumber
and mechanical pursuits. Among the pro-
auctions are lath, shingles and broomhan-
dies; a turning shop, two chair shops, at one
of which four workmen during the past few
weeks, have finished per week, fifty splint-
bottom chairs. From this point, Trumbull
and adjacent counties, and Western Penn,
are furnished with these good, old fashioned
and comfortable chairs.
There are a few thousand pounds of the
finer grades of wool yet unsold in this neigh
borhood. In fact, all the finest lots are vet
unsold. FOOT OF THE HILL.

DEAR CHRoNICLE:-After a six weeks So
journ in ''benighted Ashtabula," 1 ana home
again. and will now give you a few items,
although in our township, 1 confess, they are
'.like angels visits, few and far between"
Since my last, there have been some chang
es in real estate. d. G. Brooks hes sold his
farm, one-half mile north of the center to
Mr.. LOOMS, of Fowler. This farm is con
sidered one of the best in the township and
may in many respects be called a model
farm. S22 acres sold for $500 90, Rev,
John Mclean sold Is acres, no buildings,
situated about one hundred rods east of the
village for Sl3O0,O 90 to Homer Glkeson.
The annual mortality in our township is
about thirty-fYe, mostly old people. The
last year we have been favored with less
deaths than usual, owing, many think, to
the fact that the dam Of the mill pond lying
just at the foot of the village broke through
last spring and has not since been rebuilt.

VERNON

JAN. ZtIuJ 1000.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Here is a short sketch
from cur centre TO Johnston lire, commencing
west Of Mill Brook. 1 remember of hear
ing Vernon folks, in 1924, call Johnston the
'1sland" from the fact that much of the
land west of Mill Brook was under water
most of the time TO the line. Even twenty
three years ago, with two or three excep-
tons, the staple productions of that land was
black berries, June berries and frogs. But
now it has a large flow of milk and some
honey. Serenading is played out, and a
desert of wild fruit is now a rarity; and
this once depised spot is fast becoming a
butter and cheese mart. In 1924, $3.50 per
acre was thought q high price for it. Now,
fifty dollars per acre will scarcely buy any
part of it; and this advance in price is most
ly owing to the enterprise and skill of good,
thorough farmers, native and foreign. Ev-
~ thing about them seems to be labelled
with the word 'thrift." h.

being exhibited in parts of this county, We
deem it but justice to ourselves and the pub.
lie to say that this is not the ''Ne Puus VI.

chine to the other. Both machines were in.
vented by men named Adams, but they were
