KINGSTON, July 20, 1869.
EDS. GAzETTE.-SeeiHg thatyOu have
given a little space in your valuable
columns for urneighboriDg townships
TO be heard, we thOt Eht perhaps You
would indulge us. Happily no large
stream of water run through Kings
ton, but being situated between Alum
Greek and Big Walnut it escapes the
floods" which so often devastaGe the
country along these streams. Three
small streams have their source in the
northern part of the township, run
ern Part, forming what is called Little
Walnut" Besides We rave Ind gu
Run in the northern, and Butter Run
in the southwestern part. These
streams fed by living springs, always
afford an abundance of water for stock,
and in addition innumerabl6 springs.
In fact there are but few farms in
Kingston that are not we'll supplied
with stock ate The soil is well
adapted 10 grass, but when we'll cultiv-
ated for annual crops. it yields an
abundant remuneration for ali BUR toll.
The Church edifca belonging to the
(Old SchuoD Preshyterisus is undergo
ing thorough and efficient repairs.
Having cast of its coat of "BIue" and
taken another color. it can no longer
with propriety be called the "BIue
Church." We hope that while the
Temple made with hands is being neat
ly decorated for a place of worship
that the hearts OF all CT liens surround
ing may take on a new dress even the
Esprit of TRUTH
No liquors are sold in Kingston, and
we have no paupers in the County In
Urinary. We believe the official rec
ords viii show that not a conviction for
a breach of the Peace has occurred for
the last ten or twelve years, but we are
not right certain but there ought to
have been two or three within the past
six 0nths o, that men would al
ways be neH and not demean Them
selves to the level of the canine spe-
cies by fighting. There have been n
OF two unsuccessful attempts to run a
one horse still-houss in the township
during the past year. So may it ever
be. We would much rather the fruit
of our labor should go to "feed the hun
cry and clOthe the naked" than to i'm
ROYerish those in good circumstances.
A brief business directory consists of
Mr.. J. N. Stark, dealer in Wool, and
Dry Goods merchant ; Cepter Stark,
dealer in wool and all kinds of stock (;

\ brief statement of the number and
condition ofthe commOn schools in their
re- ,pective townships. We think it
would be interesting to your numerous
readers, and likewise he a means of

Mr.. Editor, here's hoping thatyou will
in the future rs in the past. expose the
wrong and faithfully contend for the
right nothing dHuuted, even though
opposed by the Immortal Jeems.'' So
