EDITOR CHRONICLE;-Fearing that
our neighbOring towns should think
we are resting dormant, l have con-
cluded to address a few local items to
our worthy CHRONICLE.
It would, indeed, be useless 10 at
tempt to give you a full account of
our business directory, for we have
been moving along at an unusually
brisk pace.
Our mines OF hidden wealth are
still sending forth a prOdigious supply
bringing thousands to the sons OF
dame fortune, and the neighing of the
Iron horse is heard almost constant
ly.
Quite a number of buildings will
be erected soon among which will
be included two churches, and a large
and commodiOus school house.
We would also call your attention
to our fine farms, and the proceeds
realized therefFOm, by our enterpris-
ing farmers, As our town is claSsed
among those Astounding with the best
and largest amount of coal, so its
fame will 0 be spread farand wide,
as producing the best cattle in the
county. / fthero is a doubling Thorn
as, | would refer him to some sales
made a short time since. A. NJ. Jew
ell sold to VIM. Sampson, a pair of
well matched steers, one wear old,
and weighing eighteen hundred
$500 pounds for one hundred and
fifty dollars, and a pair of three year
old steers for two hundred and fifty
dollars. If there are any who can
outrival these We would be pleased to
hear from them. Yours most respect

EDITOR CHRONICLE Since writ
ing last week, We have gathered some
facts with regard to the gainesville
and Vienna r. R., which we would
be glad to have find a place in your
columns.
The proposed road, if built, will
follow the line of the gainesville 4
Hudson r. R., as far as Chardon.
Said road being ready for the ties
when abandoned as far as that place.
A party of gentlemen consisting of
Hon. Mr.. Woodbury., Mr.. Durfrey,
and Mr.. Garfield of Chardon, and
Mr.. Z. C. Cox of this place, in COM
pany with an engineer, came through
from ChardOn to this place, April 22d,
and then returned. Some surveys
were made, and it was found that the
heaviest grade between the two places
was sc feet to the mile, for two miles,
and that can be materially lessened.
There will be a general survey
made the present week, from Chardon
to Vienna through the towns of Clar-
idon, HuntsbuTg, Mesopotamia, Bris-
tol and BaZetta.
The people of this section are
thoroughly aroused, knowing this is
positively the last chance.
We hope the people below us on
the line will wake up to this matter.
We of MesOpotamia congratulate
ourselves that for once we are favored
by providence" We are directly on
the line and cannot be lodged. Bris-
to- should be engaged in the matter,
although she has been twice humbug-
ed with bogus Rail Roads, she should
''pick her flint and try again" re-
Numbering that the third time is the
charm. Baconsburg should remem-
Der that a man always has chance
in life to make himself famous, and
the game rule applies to towns. This
is her chance aud she had better take
il in. If the r. II. should miss her
and go to Warren the quietude would
be painful. Respectfully. y.

killed, and fifteen Others severely in
iured, two or three MORALLY. Every
person in the rear al was either killed

EDITOR CHRONICLE Perhaps Q
few words from Pennington would
not come amiSs. Since the debate be-
tween the Spiritualists and Metho-
dists, all has been quiet. Not a spirit
has visited the place ito our knowl-
edge) and the supporters of the doc
trine are supposed to have become dis
cOuraged.
Business has been rather dull for a
few days, but we hope it will revive
again soon. The talk is that James
Crane is about TO buy u the Parker
Brothers and is to take the old Kibbee
stand; this would leave US five stores
at the West Corners. c. S. Thonlp-
son has opened a furniture store at
the Corners where he will keep all
kinds of cabinet ware, upholster work,
picture frames, DC. &c.
The school although small on ae-
count of hard times is doing well.
We have an excellent corps of teach
ers and having built two large board
ing houses, will be prepared TO accom-
modate a large number of students.
1t is rumored that Prof. H. U. john

place nothing need be said as to abil-
ity. YOUrs truly, "OCULUS."
