From Burg Hill.

EDITOR CHRONICLE: Mrs. Samuel
Cone, who has been wasting away for
sometime with consumption, died
on Sunday last in the twenty-eighth
year of her age She sought the Lord
diligently, and was willing to confess
him before her family and others, and
when about to die, called all present
to her to receive the parting kiss, say
ing, ''now 1 am going to Jesus" She
requested her friends not TO try too
bring her 'too again." 1 felt Mr..
Editor, at the funeral that angels
might still be lowering round.
Mr.. Erastus Chapman, who q few
days before was quite suddenly seized
with congestion of the brain, render
ing him at once incapable of correct
thought, died also, on Sunday last, in
the seventy-hfth year of his age.
When eleven years of age Mr..
Chapman an drove OF team from Con-
necticnt, sleeping in the wagon at
night, to Pittsburgh, Youngstown,
Niles, Vienna and through the woods to
Vernon, where he has lived onthe same
farm, and with his now widow fifty
two years-and shall 1 mention the
hard work clearing lands Indians,
wolves, bears, rattle shakes and the
no buildings, fences, roads, mills or
anything else hardly to make comfort
able? He once took his then young
wife, on q horse behind him, and in
company with Mr.. Havilah Smith
and others, went after cranberries
through n dense forrest about three
miles, and on the way back got lost
and was obliged to stop, after having
had his wife pulled off the horse
twice by the brush in the darkness of
the night. Mrs. Chapman after divid-
ing the few cakes she had with her
among the party, had for her seat the
saddle leaning against a large tree.
1t was cold and showed some; in the
morning they started as they hoped
for home, but came out near Mr..
Webb's, in Johnston. During their
protracted absence, their friends at
home were blowing their dinner
horns to aid them in their way out of
the woods. Mr.. Chapman never used
gun but when quite a hoy found two
honey and made q barrel of methig-
lin.
MI. Chapman never made a profess
sion of religion, yet, Mr.. Editor, we
must say that we professors and
church members will do well to i'm
itate his morality and upright life for
so many long years.
The funeral was well attended, and
yet Mr.. Alvan Hayes and Mrs. Coe,
were perhaps the only persons pres
ent who could tell much about COM
ing all the way from old Connecticut
in OK wagons. Is it not high time to
think about our county history?

March term 1869, respectfully repre-
sent that we have visited the County
Jail at this term of Court, and find
the same kept as well as the dilapida-
tea condition of the building and the
nature of the circumstances will per-
nit; that it is not a fit place for the
confinement of prisoners; that the
cells are damp and unhealthy, and
that it is dangerous for any n to re-
main in the building, it being liable
to fal at any time. And we do I'M
hesitatingly pronounce it a nuisance
and a disgrace TO the county.

Horse Thief Arrested.

Last week, Sheriff Laird received
a circular from the Sheriff of Lorain
County, offering $50 reward for the
arrest of a horse thief from that
county, describing the man as having
lost thumb and two or three fingers
from the right hand, rather short in
stature, light complexion, darkish
hair, somewhat gray, about IS years
old. The man was arrested in this
county OF Saturday, and started in
company with Deputy Gillmer fol-
Lorain county, on Monday afternoon.
1t appears that for a week or two
past, he had been travelling through
the northern part of the county under
various assumed names, as VIM. Laird
in M~esopotamia, Brown in Parkmanr
] Col. Slough, from Missouri, in Mecca,
and Chas. S. Matthews in Gustavu:
and Kinsman, stating that he wasthe
owner of three or four hundred cow
which were on their way to this
county, and that he intended to dis
pose of them at auction in the several
townships. In several places he
bought stacks of hay on the strength
of this statement, but as he did moi
call for the hay, of course nobody is
the loser. Trumbull county is a pool
place for such men to come to.

The Occidental MinstreIs.

According to previous announce
ment, this troupe gave entertainments
in Webb's Hall on Friday and Satur-
day nights of last week. The house
was well filled on Friday evening,
and the performance gave very good
satisfaction, but the extremely cold
and stormy weather, no doubt, pre-
vented many from attending on
Saturday night, and the house was
quite thin on the latter evening.
Taken altogether, the performance
was very good for amateurs, and some
of the players would not disgrace a
travelling troupe. The music of Mr..
Sealy was universally commended,
and the dancing, playing, jokes, &c,
of other actors were frequently ap-
plauded. We have not yet learned
how large an amount was realized.

Lamp ExulOsiOn-NarrOw Escape.

On last Friday evening, Mrs. NJ. A.
Patmor, of this place, had a lamp con-
tanning an oil or fluid called the "Dan-
forth Burning Fluid" lighted and
placed on a table, by which she sat
to do some sewing. After a few min
utes she went to an adjoining room oc-
cupied by her daughter, and had been
there but a few moments before the
lamp she had left where she had been
sewing, exploded with a loud noise.
On opening the door the room was
discovered in flames; but with the
assistance of some of the persons who
happened to be present, the flames were
quickly subdued. The furniture and
earpeting were damaged, and the win
dow curtains destroyed. The lamp,
we are informed, had all the fixtures
prescribed for lamps using the fluid,
by the vender.
