EDITOR CHRONICLES We. in this part of the
township EAST FaImingtOn.) at least. are very
GLAD, indeed we are proud. of the noble stand
taken by two of on Sta te Senators. judge Brown,
of this Dis trict. and Mr.. Sadler. of Sandusky Dis
trict, and wish there were more such. We who
earn our bread by the sweat of our b1ovs. and
have to labor six days in a week. and pretty hard
at that, think it is too bad that our Senators and
Representatives cannot work six days in one week
and four in the next. and then adjourn one if they
must to go home. Every thorough going man and
good citizen will Ger ainly comm md and homer
these two men fer the stand they have taken
Let us hope that the legislature will reconsider
this resolution and give us some work. so that
they can get through by planting time at least.
1 have an item of local interest. About two
weeks ago West Pennington und ertook to move
the centre up to their city, and worked hard one
week and two days, aud got one building fairly
through the woods. about S-5 of a mile, and to-day
they have got it within reach Of its location. hut
the best part is they had a guard, nightly, in the
building for several nights, at an expense Of $3.50
per night, paid to three valiant West Pennington
young men. This guard las is supposedly was to
prevent uncle Sock. Loveland. or uncle Ira Hatch,
or uncle Chauney Taft, or yea. Lewis Woleott or
uncle John Greer, OF uncle joseph Palmer. or Da-
vid Caldwell. or Dea Gof. or uncle John Wilson,
or Mai. Fuller, or Newton W%olcott. or Abisha Gil
or ira r. Crane. from burning the thing up.
The fact is, these old cO'ns are a class ofGoung
men that are skylarking around 20 nights more
or less. and the probability was if they came across
this Old fabric on its travels they would demolish
it. But thank fortuue. it h S arrived after two
weeks journey near its destination. Ii these (old
yOung) cOOns do commit any depredations. we
will keep you p osted. More anon.

not bear in mind this cold winter. the widows and

The Public Square.

Mr.. EDITORIALS our 'City-Fathers"
have not taken very great interest in
keeping up the fence and gates, or in pro-
tecting the evergreens in the Public
Square, would it not be a good idea for
the ladies of Warren, to take the matter
in hand. l have 60 doubt if they would
consider it worthy of their attention that
they could get up an Oyster supper and
festival, or an "Old Folks Concert" for
the entertainment of the public, (such as
we used to have under the supervision of
the Ladies' aid Society," and thereby not
only crafty the citizens by such a social
gathering, but raise ample means to re-
pair the fence and the square; erect
hiching posts, and put out more ever
greens and other shade trees and trim up
those which are already a comfort and a
beauty in the warm summer months.
hint to the wise is sufficient"

The protracted meeting in the NJ. E
Church in this place. which is still in pro

magnitude has prevailed in the Sabbath

work is not, however, limited to the
younger people, but numbers of adults
are manifesting much anxiety on this i'm

The Presbyterian and Baptist Socie-

meetings for religious inquiry, and a gen,

Dear GroHicte:-I am sujourning here for a few
days, and 1 fud Rock Creek one of the most
pleasant VILLAGES in Ashtabula county. It Is quite
a manufacturing place. There are four large steam
Ia inerirs. tanning about $1,000 skins annually;
70 " dry goods stores. drug store. hard ware and
tin shop, harness shops. boot an shoe shops. black
smith shops. saw and girls. mills. wagon manufa. -

tory, wooden fac cry. cabinet shops, milliner shops,
etc. Toe amount Of trade for the year ending Jan.
1sr, 1866. amounted TO full so, 900 dollars.
Last Thursday night I was star1el from my
sleep by the cry of fir, and I was not long in get
ling out of bed and into the street, when I saw
smoke oozing ont Of La imer's dry goods store. and
although the citizens were promptly en- the ground
no possible effort could save il. Then it was the
people felt the need of a fire engine; a few throws
of water would have saved the building and
goods. In connection with the store was a large
boot and shoe shop and ware rooms. The whole
was lost. save a few boots and shoes and q mall
amount of stuff in the ware room. 1 understand
that Latimer was fully insured, showing him to he
a sensible man. But the third story of the build
ing belonged to the Masonic Fraternity on which.
tiey had no insurance; hence this is a total loss
amounting to about $15l6. including their charter
aud lodge furniture. The Odd Fellows. true to
their principles will permit the Masons to meet
in their Hall. as soon as the latter get a renewal Of
enarter. until they can rebuild. 1 am n Mason
and odd Fellow, but l look upon such neglect on
the part Of our brothers as eulpable. No Lodge.
or other building of value, should go with being
insured. The whole los will amount to probably
$4,000. Latimer's Insurance. Sl1OCO.
