| ton Falls & Ravenna Railroad Compa-
nv was fled in the Secretary Of States
Office. 1t is organized for the purpose
of constructing a railroad from Youngs-
town. Mahoning county. TO Rsyennain
Portage county, passing through the
counties of Mahoning, Trumbull and
Portage. The distance between the
termini is about Al miles. Capital
stock 5000, O0O. John F. Beaver, H.

The political topic of the week has
been the Grant-Johnson correspond
ence and the subsequent correspond
ence between the President and his
Cabinet. The matter has narrowed to
a mere question of verscity between
the President and Grant. 1t IS, how
ever, very apparent, that Johnson had
set a trap for the ensnsrement OF Grant,
but which failed to catch the General.
johnson is cunning and INSCRIPTIONS,
and would, if he could, embarrass
Grant and cast a shadow Of stigma on
his exalted reputation. Grant can
afford to pass this most ig%nOminious
attempt to degrade him before the
American people, for partizan cOnsid-
erations. 1t will be properly regarded
as a very weak invention of the
enemy"
One of the most interesting and
largest Republican State Conventions
ever held in Ohio, is expected in this
city on the 4th of March. 1t is expect
ed the railroads will issue half-fare
tickets, and the Union men of Colum-
bus propose to invite their Republican
brethren to partake of the hospitality
of their homes on that day. Let
Trumbull be largely represented. The
Union Club Rooms will be open night
and day during the Convention and on
the day previous; and all in attend,
ance who desire accommodations are
requested by the Executive Committee
of the Union Club of Columbus, to re-
port at the Club Rooms, corner of High
and State Streets. r.

EDITOR CHRoNICLE With the excep-
ton Of g Occasional, Jr.'sn letter, in last
weeks paper, I've seen nothing from Gus
tavus for sometime, not because there IS
nothing TO write about, for we are, as
Occasional says, "a live people" and
there are plenty of items that would be OF
interest were they recorded more espe-
cially is this the case in the northeast
portion of the township. Some two weeks
ago, the young men of East Gustavus re-
ceived invitations to attend a Leap Year
party, and, as a matter Of course accepted,
and on the evening appointed, were wait
cd on by the yuung ladies, and escorted to
the residence of VIM. Sullivan, ESQ, and
after spending some two or three hou IN
social converse" playing ''Simon," &c,
they were invited to walk into the dining
room, where they were again surprised.
After dispozing Of the b~ivalves, and mum.
berless other good things, they adjourned
TO the parlor, and the time passed swiftly
and pleasantly till the wee sma' hours, -
when the party broke up, and the gentle
men were taken home in the most careful
manner. One lady had the misfortune TO
lose her fellow in the creek, or at least he
was not heard from till the next day, when
he turned up in Einsman but for all that,
the opinion is general around here among
the young men, that Leap Year parties
are a good thing, and that the young la
dies of East Gustavus know Just exactly
how to get them up.
Last week there was considerable excite
ment here in regard to an affair, which
came near having a tragical termination.
l. ---m- At . ,-1,l,- - --1A11n v-a-n
stopped at the house of an estimable lady
in the neigh5orhood, and in the absence
of her husband grossly insulted her and
an adopted daughter, g young lady some
fifteen years of age. He wss arrested and
brought before B. Barnes, Esq, but 1 be-
lieve got of with paying costs. The nus
band Of the lady, a returned soldier, one
of Col. Opdycke's Tigers" was, with dif-
! fculty, restrained by the bystanders ffom
shooting him when he was brought in. l
understand that he threatens vengeance
yet.
Our schools and churches are in a pros
perous condition. Rev. Mr.. Clark, from
Greene, delivered a discourse to q crowded
house last Sunday, having exchanged with
I Elder Barnes, of this place.
r p. Williams, so long a resident among
US. has sold his store, the old "Stevens
| stand" and we believe intends locating at
Hudson. DR.. Peabody, of kinsman, Is
! the purchaser. 4. Miner, proprietor of
! the Gustavus Hotel, is having a series Of
parties this winter, which are generally
attended by the younger portion Of tn c
community, and give good satisfaction:
The older portion OF the married folks
had a grand sleighride last week. They
mode quite a show, there being some thirty
sleighs.
When Occasional Jr.'s' coal bank
gets in full operation, you may expect an
other letter from him. APPS.

RSFThis week we give our readers
the balance of the Graut-Johnsou cor
respondence, but forego any remarks
on the subject. The affair seems to
have narrowed down to a matter of
veracity between these two prominent
men, and we feel that our readers are
sufficiently intelligent to distinguish
right from wrong-and that it was
simply an attempt of the President to
entsngle Gen. Grant in a controversy
and detract from his reputation as well
as injure his prospects for The Presiden-
cy. For this reason it was that the
Cabinet were called upon to guess and
think that Genl Grant said so and so.

In tn is city. Friday afternoon, January 9th.
1855, Mrs. NJ. G. ADAMS aged 81 years.
The disease Of which Mrs. a. died was con-
sumption. which resulted from a cold contract
ed in March Of last year. She was then resi-
ding in ~Janesville, Wis. About SIX weeks ago
she was brought. with her family, in the tender
care Of her husband to this place, with the hone
that the climate Of Minnesota. which has PROV
cd so helpful in promoting the cure Of many
persons afflicted with the same disease. might
be beneficial to her. But Notwithstanding her
own courageous, cheerful and hopeful spirit
and the most asSidiOus care and ministratiou,
she sank Iapidly under the increasing power Of
the diselSc. and passed away as noted above
But it was a precious death, as saith Gods Holy
Word. Precious in the sight Of the Lord is the
death Of his saints" and precious TO surviving
friends. Without any fear. with a clear appre-
hension Of Jesus. and reliance on Him as her
Savior, and with a bright hope OF a glorious
immortality she welcomed the approach ofdeath
saying, lam glad to co." Her last hours were
made happier by the assurance that fell upon
her dying ear from the lips Of him she loved
best on earth, that he now believed her faith 70
be right and that he too would cast himself on
the mercy of the same precious Savior. She
leaves behind a husband greatly bereayed, and
four little children who had been the objects OF
unusual maternal care and training, but by the
grace of God in Jesus Christ she leave them
rich in the sweet memories Of her as an afec-
Tomato and faithful wife and mother. and a
bright exempiieation OF the reality and worth
of faith in Christ. The funeral services were
