needful products. The present week
opened more favorably, and trade seems
brisk.

attempt to walk, but soon fell, and it was
supposed hat he was a drunken man stagger-

at night, he was noticed by some persons
who carried him to the toll-gate. He had
been so long exposed to the very severe
weather, and being withall a weakly man,
that he died about midnight. The deceased

which has witnessed so many scenes Of dlssl-

their fist steps on the broad way to ruin, is
to exist no more. If those old walls could
speak, what stories theymight tell of by-gone

The educational prospects of our township

ask, that there is not more attention paid to

EDITOR CHRoNIcLE;-There are to be
some changes made here this spring. Mr.,
is. Mcmahon, who has been doing business
here for some two or three years, is selling
out his stock of goods at cost; and Mr.. F. P.
Green is to occupy the store now kept by Mr..
Mcmahon. Mr.. VIM. G. Savage will also
close out his stock of groceries. fancy goods
and notions this afternoon and evening at
public auction in order to fill up with an en-
tire new selection.
1t should be mentioned that an effort is
being made to erect a plank walk along
that portion of the ground lying north of
the corners which is so exceedingly muddy.
The enterprise has fallen into good hands,
and the prospect looks favorable.
They began operations at the oil well
some time since, and the work goes on with
considerable energy. We all feel some de-
gree of interest in the proceedings and hope
before the summer closes to have a flowing
well in our midst. "1MPROMPTU".

MARCH 10th, 1866.
EDITOR CHRONICLE Our prospects now
are pretty fair for having a furnace and roll
ing mill erected in our township, as it is
said the proprietors have secured a site in
the village of Girard. If such proves to be
the fact, it will give a new impetus to the
farming interest, as it will tend to create a
ready cash market and at good prices for all
the smaller products of the farm, such as
butter, eggs, chickens, &c.
The different winter schools in our town
ship nave come to a close, and, I believe
have all been successfully conducted, excep-
ting the one which we referred to in former
correspondence. There must be a screw
loose in that district somewhere. Report is
that the teacher was dismissed by
the directors before the expiration of his
term. 1t appears also that we gave some Of
fence in the statement we made in regard to
a fare-up in that school. We stated that
one lad assisted by a companion had hogged
the teacher, &c. We supposed our informa-
ton was correct, but it appears it was not
We made another mistake, we used the word
clad" when it appears he is a young man
of Is years. he, as we are informed, fog
ged the teacher without assistance, our state
ment of his being assisted in that noble
transaction it seems, deprived it of SOM of
its story! And we were charged with lying.
We hope this recantation will prove s~atisfac-
tory TO the aggrieved father. But at the
same time, we enter our protest against all
such disorderly conduct, notwithstanding
threats of church mauling or any other kind
of mauling. We have seen scarecrows of
ten, but have never been much frightened
yet, and we seriously think that some one,
or something, has been tinkering with the
old gentleman's glasses, to get them in such
a shape that he can see ''glory" shining
through the transaction of a son fogging a
teacher in school hours in a school house
and in presence Of all the children. Certain
ly they must have got a terrible twist. And
as we intimated before, we think that our
legislative body could take the kinks out of
all such glasses if they would go at it and
gsve us some law, and let US know what a
teacher may do, and what be may not do,
in school, and at the same time something
will fetch crooked glasses straight with
a jerk. We think they would be fully as
proftably employed in such legislation as in
legislating in favor of idlers ana %loafers, ma
king eight hours a lawful days work.

missal of the minister, fell below that of the
church where Zebulon attends worship :" thus

Now, Mr.. EDITOR, we feel like making
excuses for the length of our review of Ken

PENNINGTON

MdICu lObu,
EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-The closing exer-
clses of the winter term of Western Reserve
Seminary on the 9Th, 9th and 9TH, were very
interesting. The examinations reflected
great credit to the teachers and the students,
each class giving evidence of having not
only studied well, but having been subjected
to the most rigid scientific drill. Many of
the classes were composed of grown young
men and women, features of interest in
schools of such a grade.
On Tuesday evening a large, appreciative
audience was most interestingly entertained
by Rev. John Peate. Many of his descrip-
tons of men and places, seen and visited by
him in his travels in the Orient, were very
finely ..delineated. He took his audience
through the Gceat Desert, over beautiful
plains and fer lie wales and led them up to
the grand Of pyramids of old Egypt, where
he held them in wrapt wonder, closing with
a very happy allusion to the patriarchal
WORTHLESS who, more than forty centuries be-
fore, had stood where the speaker, in imsa-
%ination, was then standing.
On Wednesday evening the chapel was
crowded, to witness a musical and literary
entertainment given by the school. The
essays of the young ladies, and the oratIons
of the young gentlemen-all original-were
credItable TO head and heart. The recita
tons in French and German were excellent,
especially those in French. The papers
were ably edited and happily read. The
music, under the supervision of Mrs. Leon
ard, evidently selected and prepared with
much discrimination and good taste, was
among the best we had ever heard on such
occasions. Mrs. L. being an adept as a
teacher of piano music, the music class, un-

to require several new instruments, which, l
understand, have been procured, and will be
in readiness by the 18th Of March, the open
ing of the Spring term.
The most pleasant incident of the occasion,
was the presentation of a magnificent watch,
from the students to Prof. Leonard, princi-
pal of the institution, by, A. B. Clark, of
Huntsburg, in a very neat speech, as a token
of the esteem and affection in which the
students hold Prof. 7. as g true friend, a
faithful councillor, a ripe scholar, Q success
full educator and a Christian gentleman. 1t
was evidently a perfect surprise to the Pro-
fessor, who acknowledged himself complete
ly captured, and accepted the beautiful pres
ent in a few remarks which moved the
heart TO feel, and the eve to weep. |
After the disLaissiOR of the delighted audi
dience, about two hundred students and in
vited guests were handsomely treated by
Mrs. Leonard and Miss Culver, the pre-
ceptress, to ice cream and cake. This closed
one of the most pleasant and successful sess-
ions of this popular school; and we hope it
may continue TO grow in favor with God
and With the people, and become a mighty
auxiliary Of light and power in the uproot-
ing of error and the spread of truth.

FRIEND CHRoNICLE:-We have been
much interested the past winter in reading
the correspondence from various parts of the
county which has appeared from time to
time in your columns, and think it but fair
that we should contribute our mite to the
general stock.
We have had the best school the past
winter that has ever been taught in this dis
trict. Mr.. T. G. Strock, a young gentle
man who has just graduated from Pough-
keepsie Mercantile College, has filed the
post of teacher to the entire satisfaction Of
both pupils and parents. Besides the daily
instruction given in the school, he has given
us a writing school gratis, two evenings in a
week, during the whole term. He is a
splendid penman, and the copy books of his
scholars show the result of his labors in q
very satisfactory degree.
The school closed on the 9Th inst, with a
literary entertainment, consisting OF dla-
logues, declamations, essays and music. The
house was crowded, but the scholars -cquited
themselves nobly. Space will not permit
me to mention the names of all, but l must
be excused in mentioning a few names
Master A. Nye, a lad but five years old,
gave US a defamation with the ease and as
surance of a natural orator. Masters Will
bur Nye, Levi Hitchcock, Wallace strock,
Wilbur Sutton, and Misses Emeline StrOck
aRd Flora Carleton, performed their respec-
tive parts yith great credit.
Singing by the choir, under the leader
ship of Miss Ella Booth, was a very inter
esting part of the exercises.
Although the house was densely crowded,
the best order was maintained, and al went
of in the hsppiest manner. At the close Of
the exercises remarks were made by Rev. S.
Nye, VIM. n. Sutton and Jas. Baldwin,
closing with a farewell address from the
teacher, thanking the audience for their visit
and the school for their attention and obedi-
ence, and stating that his labors had been
amply repaid By the success that had re-
Warded his efforts. Yours, Truly, iB.

On Saturday evening of last week, a
person by the name of Kennedy, who
had been drinking in one of the holes on
Main Street, was followed into the street
knocked down and pretty severely
kicked in the face. A report somehow
got into circulation that it was our friend
James D. Kennedy, who has been en-
ployed in the Auditors Office for the
past two years. This was a false report,
as those who are best acquainted with
Mr.. James D. Kennedy know that he is
not at all likely to get into a fuss in a
doggery, for the reason hat he is not in
the habit of fr~equenting them.
