The Railroad Question.

The interest in regard to the pro-
posed railroad from Warren to Wen
ma is growing in intensity, as people
more fully realize the immense value
and importance of the road to this
town and adjacent country. If built
it will certainly ecure the immediate
erection of quite extensive iron manu-
featuring establishments here. Sew
eral of the most sagaciOus and success
full iron masters in the Mahoning and
ShenangO Vallies are of opinion that
with proper facilities for transporting
and furnishing a suitable quality of
coal, at fair rates, Warren will be one
of the most desirable iron manufac-
turing points in the State. This
should stimulate our citizens to exer-
tons commensurate with the i'm
pOrtance and value of the enterprise,
as contemplated in the eight miles of
most probably large dividend paying
road necessary to bring the coal to this
place. If you want to have the popu-
lation of the town doubled in less than
five years, and your real estate double
and treble in value, do not let this
golden opportunity pass.
Situated as our city is, in the heart
of a rich and thriving agricultural re-
gion peopled with an intelligent and
industrious population of $4,000 to 49,
OOO, who trade and transact more or
less business annually with our e
chants, mechanics and manufacturers,
all that is needed to give the place an
impetus upward and onward, is the
establishment of such manufacturing
facilities as necessitate an augmented
population of industrious producers,
whom, it is well known, are also lib
eral consumers of the products of the
farm and the fabrics of the merchant.
Let not the matter rest until all has
been done that should be to accomplish
the very desirable object which we
must all regard the building of a rail-
road to the Vienna coal mines to be.
1t seems to us it is now or never.
Cities and towns, like individuals,
may demonstrate their sagacity and
enterprise by grasping hold of and
making the most of good Opportuni-
ties. Will Warren see it and take
hold?

THE INDIANS.

Letter from Gen. Sheridan-The Indians Begin
ming to Realize the SituatiOn-LittIe Phil.
Proposes to Take the Starch Out Of Them
ST. LOUIS, January 2.-Gen Sher-
man has received a letter from Gen.
| Sheridan, dated Fort Cobb, Dec. 18th.
nothing has arrived at that post the
day previous, with Gen. Clusters sew
enth cavalry, in all about 1900 men.
Sheridan spent one day on Clusters
battlefield, and found the bodies of
Major Elliott and sixteen soldiers,
also the bodies of Mrs Blinn and
child, white captives in the Indian
camp. Mrs. Blinn had been shot
through the forehead and the child's
brains dashed out against a tree
Gen. Sheridan followed on the Indian
trail down the Washita, seYenty-siX
miles, when he came to a camp OF
KiOwas, who met him with a letter
from General HaZen, which declared
them to be friendly. Sheridan requi-
red the Indians to accompany him to
Fort Cobb, but discovered while trav-
cling towards that point that they
were sending their families to the
Washita mountains. Suspecting they
were attempting to deceive him, he
AOOh -lAdAlAd dAlu lOllG w Oll. anu llO-
titled them that he would hold them
as hostages, and that ifall the Kiawas
did not come to Fort Cobb he would
hang them. Sheridan says the Indi-
ans realize now for the first time that
winter will not compel us to make a
truce with them, and adds the Kia-
was have been engaged in war all the
time; and have been playing fast and
loose" They have attemptedto brow
beat General HaZen since he came to
Fort Cobb, but l will take the starch
out of them before l leave them
The Cheyennes, Arapahoes and one
band of COmanches, with fifty lodges
of kiOwas, are now at Washta noun
tains. Gen. Sheridan, after consulta-
ton with Gen. Hazen, proposes when
the KiOwas come in to punish those
who are known to have been concern
ed in personal acts of murder. He
will send Black Kettles sister out to
the Cheyennes, Arapahees, and COM
mand them to come in and submit to
like treatment. If they refuse to come
in, he will carry on the war against
them in the Washita mountains.
In n private letter to General Sher-
man, dated one day later, Sheridan
says the Kiowas are coming in; that
the Cheyennes have been very hum
bic since their punishment by Gen.
Gustav, and he has no doubt that the
Arapahoes will also come il, surrender
and abide by his terms, after which he
has no fear of the renewing of hOstil-
tiles.

A Visit to the County Infirmary.-
Burgh Hill Items, sc.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:-After leaving
the early morning train and walking
three miles, 1 was met at the door of
our Infirmary, by the lady in charge,
who soon asked, ''have you been to
breakfast ?' The good dish of coffee,
buckWheat cakes, &c, were very ac-
ceptable. Mr. ,Ludwick has raised
good crops and will have enough to
Keep his family of about seventy.
Feeling disposed to talk to the inmates
about Jesus and his dying love, they
were collected together in the dining
room. They were told how great
sinners we are-that sin is the cause
of all our misery and unhappiness:
and then eXhOrted to confess their
sins to God and each other, and live
together like a band of brothers.
Some professed, and seemed to enjoy
religiOn-two prayed when asked, and
all seemed to enjoy such songs of
praise as we were able to give. Three
who were unable to be present, re-
quested devotional exercises in their
rooms. Now it seems to me that
those who wish to do good, and can
make it convenient, would do well to
visit these afflicted Ones-talk, sing
and pray with them for Jesus loves
them and has given them very many
precious promises in his holy word.
The Lord bless them.

EDITOR CHRoSICLE:-We are surrounded
with the dying and the dead. And among
the many deaths that have occurred during
the last two months, none, perhaps, has
touched a more tender chord than the death
of Mrs. Mary Amelia Faunce, wife of Calvin
Z. Faunce, Esq, and daughter o Mr.. Henry
Tew, of Bazetta, who died Oct. 2d, 1858, aged
thirty-One years. Mrs. Faunce was born in
BaZetta, and at the age Of twenty-four was
marriedto Mr.. Faunce. In lS63she embraced
the christian religion; was baptized by Rev.
o. Gates, II united with the Disciples in
BaZeita. In 1864 she removed with her hus-
band to Greene, and became identified with
the Disciple church. Although modest and
retired in her amer, yet she was very faith
full in the discharge of christian duties, ever
bearing a faithful testimony for Christ when
opportunity presented. When her health
would permit she was always punctual at
the house of God, with her three little chill
dren, so pretty m well behaved always at
her side. Though unconscious most of the
time during her SicInesS, yet her christian
example and humble devotion in the cause
of her Master was such as TO give the clearest
evidence of her acceptance with God. Her
amiable disposition and agreeable manners
had endeared her to Il large circle of friends.
Indee, her lOVelineSS Of character could not
fail to win the affection of every virtunus
heart. In her death the community feels
that it has sustained n great loss, and the
church of which she was n member, one OF
its rightes stars. As a mother, she was
most tender and devoted as a companion,
she was kin and a~ftectionate, always will
ing and DESTROYS of doing all she could to re-
lieve tighten the burthens of her hus-
band, and most ~truthfully could he say,
"Unequalled virtues graced her breast.

With her loved friendship! oh, how dear
Were thy sweet accents TO my ear;
But Observation-Disclosures,

From my fond hopes did cruel rend
Tit tenderest spouse the sweetest friend.
All, fled forever from my view,
Thou consOrt o. my SOUL, adieui
Gu hopes are now to meet above,
Where pains shall cease, where all is love-
Also, Lizzie, daughter of Orrin and Eliza
beth Bailey, died Nov. 9th, 1865, aged four
years. Lizzie was one of earth's faireSt flow
ers. Her mild blu eye, her comedy features
and bright rosy cheek, combined with the
most pleasant and happy disposition, had al
ready endeared her to many fond hearts.
Innocence seemed engraved on every Inca
ment of her sweet face. All was lone that
could be by fond parents and a faithful
physician to save her, bat all in vain.
Angels saw her and loved her. Bright SER
aphs
Came and took their little angel,
Took the one they loved so well.
Bore her on their SNOWY boSOms,
To the better land TO dwell.
o, they weep through all the oonday
And they sit alone at night,
Thinking of their sainted Lizzie
In the land Of seraphs bright.
There she wanders with the angels,
Over the a of crystal light;
She is crowned in starry brightness,
She is rObed in spOtless white.

4lON LAND O6c. o., 1oOo.
EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-I send you a
short sketch of two of our oldest citi-
zens, deceased this year. Mr.. ARCHI-
BALD REEVES died Dec. "a, inst, aged
cighty-fve years. Mrs RACHEL
REEVES, his wife, died the 10th, of
May last, aged seventy-nine years.
Mrs. R. was the daughter of JOHN
RATLIFF and half sister of Judge
RATLIFF, of Warren.
MI. and Mrs. REEVES came from
Beaver Co., Pa, at an early day, and
were among the first settlers, as they
were residents here during the war of
1872, and through which Nj. REEVES
served as a volunteer. After the war
he followed his occupation of carpen-
ter. There is scarcely a building in
the neighbOrhood which does not bear
the marks of his compass. They were
a generous, hospitable couple, and
their house was a kind of asylum for
the poor and needy. They were be-
loved by all the neighborhood, and
called by the familiar names of "UN-
Gle ARCHY" and "AUNT RACHEL"
Like most of the old settlers, Uncle
Archy was a hunter, and quite sue
cessful, too. When he had secured
a deer or other game, the neighbors
soon heard of it, as Aunt Rachel
always divided the venison. In 1927,
perhaps, MI. r. started on a bear hunt,
and when near where he expected to
find bruin, he discovered what he
supposed to be the animal partly be-
hind q log, and blazed away at it. To
his great surprise and modification he
discovered that had shot a neighbor,
JOHN RUTLEDGE, in the shoulder,
who was hulling nuts. Uncle Archy
rendered all the assistance in his pow
er until Mr.. Rutledge recovered, but
it was a long time before he was to
known to again take down his old
rife. He with two others (CHRIsTO-
Pier HULL and CHARLES QUINBY)
killed the last elk ever shot in the
township. But all those old neigh
bOrs and friends of another generation
have gone, and we miss the old friends
at whose home we were always sure
of a hearty welcome. They have
gone to rest. Green be their memo
ries for long years to come. ].
