Township Correspondence,
from Newton Fails.

NEWTON FALLS, April 6, '67.
Mr.. EDTToR:-The Union loving Re
publicans. of this village, are r%eioiced
greatly at the result of the Spring election
The regular Republican Caucus ticket wa:
elected by an average majority of thirty,
Inc common game Of the opposition ha;
been to take q few who were soreheaded on
account of being defeated at Caucus, fill in
a few most acceptable Democrats, and call
1t a Union ticket, and then by represent.
ing that politics should not enter into
town matters, succeed sometimes in carry
ing into Office a part, if not all, their Can
didates. But this year that little game
was beaten. and the following are our
township officers for the coming year all
true blue Republicans:
Trustees, Elijah Medley, David Carlile,
Geo. K. johnson. Assessor, Henry Err
win. Treasurer, VIM. L. Church. Clesk,
Nelson Spencer. Censtables, H. S. Rob
bins, David Medley.
But we congratulate ourselves mostly
on the fact that we have carried the vote
for a Town Hall. 1 may safely say that
this is an indication that our motto is
Excelsior" And the rate at which i'm
migration is going on into this village, and
the great number of transactions in real
estate Indicate that q corporation, gas,
sewers and pavements must soon follow or
anarchy may be looked for.
. The following transfers of real estate
are some, not all of those that have come
under my observation:
ID. Lowry, -four and saw-mlll to j. F.
Porter; Horace Stevens, residence, to J.
f. Porter /; Jacob Kinnamon, residence to
s.. Oviatt; VIM. Starr, residence to -
Whitney l.. S. Fairchild, machine shop
to-Baster; Jacob Kinnamon, farm TO
H. c, Soule; j. F. Porter, farm to DAVIS
Lowry; James Reed s. Son, store and
ktore-house to Patterson s. Stewart ; Mrs.
S. G. Price, residence to l.. J. Sampson ;
Ivers Sampson, residence to Edwin r.
Hine; Mrs. Tod's late residence To-
Everett; VIM. Z. Hart, residence to W.
D. Holcomb; Z. P. Merwin, hotel to o.
H. P. Parker; B. Osbrook, residence to
William Stone.
These changes have all occurred this
and are all in the village or its
vicinity. The most note
fact in connection with these
is that in but tour instances do
the sellers emigrate, which is conclusive
evidence that not only our population Is
increasing, but that u people who know
are satisfied that Newton Falls is q des;ra-
bic place to live in. And why should it
not be? You may travel far and near and
not find so beautiful q site for q village. 1t
high and dry, sloPing both ways
the branches of the Mahsning on
zach side, and for health not surpassed by
any village in northern Ohio. These facts
ire becoming widely known, and notwith-
the ISLANDERS widely circulated
concerning the health and morals of this
community, the fact that not q house in
his village can be rented at any price
hows that We multiply very rapidly, or
Use do not die off SO fast as is represented,
md the shove changes indicate that some |
willing to take the chances. Some
time I will send you the present
directory of Newton Falls, which
think will show some enlargement on
he one you published some time since +,
