PARKMAN, January Is, 1868.
EDITOR CHReSICLE-SIR:-The com-
munication from West Pennington that
appeared in the columns of your last issue,
is Of such a nature IS 70 demsnd some ex-
PLANTATION but in making that explanA-
ton, I do not wish to be understood as
replying to the writer, IS that would be
eleYating him to q dignity which he in no
way deserves. The circumstances that
led to that communication are briefly as
follows: A post of the Grand Army of
the Republic had leased q room for the
purpose Of holding their meetings, with the
privilege Of admitting the Good Templars,
but with an understanding that 1t was TO
be used for no other purpose. Accord
ingly the Good Templars used the hall,
but held no contract that guaranteed to
them that privilege. Thus matters stood,
when a motion was made before the lodge
to sub let the room TO the sect known a
S~pirituslists. To this proposition q Yio-
lent opposition Immediately manifested
itself, which seemed to threaten an open
rupture, and to avoid this, I simply stated
that the lodge had no right TO lease the
room 70 other parties, and that such action
would be in direct violation Of the con-
tract by which the room was held. This
/ explanation seemed satisfactory. The mo-
tion was withdrawn, and there 1 supposed
! the matter would drop but, unfortunate
", AZ this / was mistaken: The matter
was taken up by outsiders in a very diff
ferent spirit from that in which it had
been discussed in the lodge. Some one
who proclaimed himself an advocate of
free speech, commenced writing q series
of abusive letters to me, without signing
his name or paying the postage, and &c
~ageravate his meanness, simulated the
Language and ch~irography of another, ev-
identity with the design of screening him
self from detection by casting suspicion
on some one else. Failing to produce any
impression in this way, the next oatcrop'
ping of his petty spite appears In youI
| columns sufficient commentary upon
the verscity Of which is found in the fact
that no one is willing to acknowledge The
authorship.
wish to state here that 1 am in favor
of giving every man 8 fair hearing, but
hope that I have no affinity for thosI
whose ideas of free speech seems to cul
inmate in the privilege of going to tht
street corners and into the groceries sbou
town, and uttering nnuendoes agains
men behind their backs that they dare no
utter before their face, and for which
their insigni6esnce alone shields then
from punishment, and writing abusiv
letters which they have neither the msnli
ness to sign their names to nor the none,
to pay the postage on.
In conclusion, 1 have only to say tina
the gentleman who appears to be desig
mated by the initials "W. @. T." is to
honorable to be suspected Of completely il
such as is displayed in the com
~municstion to which / refer.
Yours truly, ]. THoBP.

~ In the debate IN the House of
Representatives on the 18th inst, on
the Five-Twenty question, Mr.. Blaine,
of Maine, called attention TO the fact
that tbs pEoviso in the act OF June 30,
1864, absolutely prohibited the issue
of greenbacks to the extent necessary
to redeem the bonds. That proviso
declare that the total amount Of Uni
ted States notes issued, or to be issued,
shall never exceed four hundred mil
lions Of dollars. This proviso was a
part of the contract on which the loan
was negotiated, and Ny. Blaine main
tanned that it could no more be repeat
ed or altered than the loan act itself.
It was therefore absolutely impossible,
under the law under the contract, to
expand the greenbacks more than AZ
millions beyond the amount now IN
circulation.

ATlshOuid read the following certificate.
/ do most willingly bear my testimony in IA
yor of the superiority Of the Patent Parabola
over all other kinds Of Spectaeles. They are
constructed upon the best established and un-
deTsto0d principles Of Optics. and their adap-
tati0n to the human Eye IN Its different con-
ditions Of vision is so perfect as to render sight
easy without effort. In my opinion, none 9TH
ers should be used, since the Eyes once used to
these do not seen 10 grow old. and by having a
focus at any point Of the surface they appear to
restore the eye to their youthful energy.

non, Pa, for the consideration of S12,0O o
subject TO Mr.. Austin's lease.
-Wenoticed in tie Cleveland Herald of
last week, q statement that at the request
Of parties in Cleveland, the Postmaster at
that place had consented to send 8 through
extra mail to Warren, and also TO Youngs-
town, but that the Postmaster here had
refused to receive the pouch.
The facts as we are informed, are these.
Notice was received from the Cleveland
land Postmaster that such a mail would
be sent on the train leaving that city at
$50 and arriving here at 4:57 P. NJ, and
arrangements were made to receive it at
that time. Instead, however, of being
sent at 2:s0 as spoken Of, the mail was
sent on the youngstown Express" ar
irving at 8 o'clock, too late for distribution
and delivery the same evening.
On inquiry as to why it was not sent on
the earlier train, our Postmaster was in
formed that the train leaving Cleveland
at $50 did not run farther than Leavitts-
burg. In reply to which he was informed
that the train spoken of arrived here at
4:57 P. M, and that It was desirable the
mail should be sent on that train but if
sent on the latter train, it would arrive too
late for delivery the same evening, making
t virtually a morning mail, Of which we
have one already, which is quite sufficient.
Youngstown, according to the Ma
honing Courier, had two fires during last
week, the first one on Monday night, in
Merchants block, in s room occupied by
the American Protestant Association.
But little damage was done, as the fire
was discovered in time to be subdued by a
few pals of water.
The second fire, on the Tuesday night
following, was more destructive, occur
ring IN the stOre-room of B. F. Parks s
Co., among cotton piled beneath the shelv-
ing at the rear end Of the store, which
communicated to the goods on the shelves,
the exposed ends Of which were burned
to a crisp. By tearing down the burning
goods and blazing curtain which is used
to keep of the dust the progress of the
flames were stayed. The damsget to goods
and room amounted to between four and
five thousand dollars, which was fully in
sured.

GKNEGLs MRABE IN GEoRGIA.-The
speech of General Meade, in the Geor-
eia Convention, shows that he will not
be a plant tool in the hands of Mr..
johnson. The General distinctly afir-
med that he was there to enforce the
laws of Congress. The loyal members
of the Convention are much encouraged
by the new commanders firm attitude.
General Meade has expressed in wri-
ting his opinion that the expenses OF
the members should be paid but OF the
State funds, and it is probable tina
Jones, the rebel Treasurer, will be re-
moved. If the President wants ms
policy carried out in the Third Military
District, he must select some other
officer.

probably swell the annual production
Of gold to q higher figure than it has
ever reached; and when we consider
that, with the improvement constantly
being made in mining and reducing

tinued increase in the price of exchang.

BurgIaFieS.

BuE&IaFteS.
During Monday night last the prOvis.
ion and grocery store of Messrs. Freer 6
Smith, on Market street, was visited by
some person or persons Of the burglary
profession, who effected an entrance
through q back door, by means of prying
of the bolt with an iron bar or heavy
chisel. So far as is now known, they Sc
cured nothing aside from SD to $50 IN
money, mostly torn and mutilated scrip, q
portion of which was counterfeit. The
prOprietors of the store hope the present
possessors may have a good time in pass.
ing it
The same party, evidently, who entered
the store-room of Messrs. Freer & Smith,
on the same evening paid a visit to the
drugstore of E. Il. Allison, on Main
street, where they effected an entrance by
prying off the bolt that fastens the back
door, using . chisel or fiat bar Of iron for
the purpose. No damage was done in the
room, and little if anything was missing,
on Tuesday morning, aside from a dozen
or TO fine cigars. Both the money draw
ers, which were empty, were found on the
floor back of the counter.

The Importance of advertising in
dull times is thus strongly put in tn g
New York Tribune: ain the meantime
how are bushes men to keep aioat?
Prudence and economy Of course are
the two great lessons to be learned {:
but there is one part of these lessons
which 1 dull times is especially apt to
be forgotten. Be sure of one thing:
what eve you have to sell, there are
many people to buy, even in the most
depressed seasons. Find them out:
show them your wares; persuade them
to buy Of you rather than another.
When buyers are reluctant, sellers
must be active. 1t is neither cheap
nor sensible to sit still behind your
counter and wait for the hustle of trade
to revive. When business is dull, that
is when you must need advertise. In
the first place, that is when you most
need 20 adVerties; and in the second
that is when people devote most time
to reading the newspapers, and when
your advertisement consequently IS
most generally seem"
