The Chronicle for 1869.

Though new volume commenc-

its columns, giving its subscribers the
the advantage over other papers pub
Iished here.

~ ago, the CHRONICLE has always
stood in the front rank of newspapers
of Northern Ohio, and has always
been true to the cause of Human Free
dom and Equal Rights, gaining popu-
larity with age, until now it has be-
come a household word among the
people of the Western Reserve:
The record of the CHRONICLE in the
past is the best guaranty that can be
offered for its course in the future as
10 politics. We shall endeavor to
keep our readers posted in regard to
the National and State Legislatures,
the news of the day, foreign news,
and shall make our local news col

a county newspaper look for its chief
support. Our extensive corps of cor
respondents in the county will enable
us to lay before our readers the local
news of every township, thus ma

serial history ofthe county and a faith

THANKSGIVING,

Tomorrow is the day appointed by
the President of the United States and
the Governor of Ohio as a day of
Thanksgiving to Almighty God for
the many blessings which have been
vouchsafed to our people during the
past year. The day will be generally
observed in Warren, the merchants
closing their places of business, and
the several churches holding union
services at the Methodist church,
where the Thanksgiving Sermon will
be preached by Rev. E. H. Yingling.
Thanksgiving How many and
varied are the thoughts arising at the
sound of the word. In the far-Off
New England homes of VI ancestors
we see the family circle gathered
around the parental board at least once
a year, on Thanksgiving Day, to in
terehange the family greetings and in
ouiries in regard to each others vel
fare. Bringing with US the habits and
customs of Connecticut, the people of
tina Western Reserve have become the
Yankees of the West, and in no part
of the country except, perhaps, New
England, are the Thanksgiving exer-
eises so generally observed rs in this
section.
How many things have we to be
thankful for, and with what an entire
unanimity can the people of our whole
country unite in the observance of this
day! The white-robed angel of peace
has spread her wings over u lately
distracted land, and1quietness is again
returning to our people. The excite
ment of a hard fought political cam
paign has subsidized, leaving a better
state of feeling between all classes.
Those lately in open rebellion against
our government and our flag, con-
quered by the bullet and the ballot,
and despairing of gaining their ends
by open instruction or secretplOtting,
are laying aside their ~antipathies, ac-
cepting the situation, and will shortly
return to ~peaceable pursuits, taught
by a four years war that resistance to
rightful authority is useless.
Now civil rounds are stopped, peace lives
That she may long live here, God say amen!
Let us be thankful
