The Prosecuted Christians in Turkey.

Rev. Arthur Bogdan. q native of
Bethlehem in Judea, and a Presbyter
in the HISTORIAN church, delivered a
couple of very interesting discourses
on the above subject, at the Presbyte-
rian church, in this place last Sunday
morning and evening.
The history of the ancient Nestori-
an church, the oldest christian organ
ization nov existing, being establish
ed about the year $40, and one about
which comparatively little is known
in this country, was suecinctly set
forth. 1t comprises such a chapter of
wrongs and cFuelties practieed upon
the unoffending people by the Turks,
as makes the blood of every feeling
man run cold, and will call down the
vengeance of the Almighty upon the
heads of the Turks, as surely as pun
ishment will be melted out to those
who deserve it.
The lecturer gave a short history of
the revolution in Crete, and de-
nounced the action of England and
France in that bloody drama, He
said that the the christians in Turkey
were looking a~nxiously to the people
of the United States for protection
and assistance, and stated that the
moral influence of our sympathy
would do them more good than an
army of so, 900 men. In this connec-
ton, a resolution had been introduced
in Congress, requiring the Secretary
of State to lay before them the details
of the Cretan war, and the prospects
were that Congress wonld take meas
ures to- denounce the action of Eng
land thereto, and in conjunction with
Russia, preserve the liberty and safety
of these christians from further ag-
gressiol.
After service, n contribution was
taken for the benefit of these per-
secuted christians, and quite a hand
some amount realized.

The Big Pig in Gustarus.

GUSTANUS, IAN. I'd, 1859.
EDTToR CHRoNICLE:-Your readers
find in the local and personal column
of the CHRONICLE, Dec. 23d, a state
ment from Messrs. J. s. and G. II.
Thompson concerning the weight Of
three hogs. The one butchered by
Mr.. John Thompson Is stated to be
seven and one half months old and
weighing 37T lbs. As L have been in
neighbofing towns since, the question
has been asked me several times,
about the big pig of Gustavus, no
one having ever before heard of a pig
of that ace weighing so much. /
have this day learned from the man
who raised the pig and of whom
Thomson bought him, the exact age,
which was over 1O1 months when
killed. Now three months makes
quite q difference especially in the
weight of the pig. He certainly was
a good one and hard to beat even at
TO- months old. o. X.

Boiler EXPLOSION at Mineral Ridge.

The Niles Independent has the folio

noon on Monday, Jan 4th one of the
three boilers at the "Tod & Wells"

unceremoniously as it entered, through

Several persons standing near at the
moment Of the explosion were scalded
and one of them thrown sixty feet
through the air, lighting in a pond.
Some of the debris scattered by the
explosion lit amongst some boys ska

one Of them on the head, cutting quite

The two boilers that stayed ia the

The Vienna Railroad.

The proposed route from the great
coal fields of Vienna TO Warren, is
now receiving considerable attention
from our citizens as its importance to
our town and county naturally de-
mands. The youngstown people are
trying to have the road built to their
place, and will no doubt succeed if
our citizens, by their own negligence,
allow the present opportunity of
placing Il city in the front rank OF
manufacturing towns in Northern
Ohio to pass unimproved.
A route from Vienna to Niles has
been surveyed. 1t is almost a direct
line from Vienna to Hake's Corners
in Rowland, where it DIVORCES to the
left in order to make connections at
Niles. Were the road continued to
Warren from Hake's Corners, itwOuld
form nearly an air line,
We have assurance from gentlemen
of integrity, experience and large
means, that the road will be COM
menced in the spring, and completed
by August next, and in connection
Herewith two or more blast furnaces
built, provided the people of Warren
will furnish the means to build the
road, for which bonds will be issued
bearing a reasonable interest, payable
semi-annually, the bonds payable in
ten years, principal and interest, and
the interest guaranteed by responsible
parties.
In this enterprise the citizens are
asked to give nothing, butte invest
their money where it will pay them
more than cent. per cent.
The iron business of the Mahoning
Valley is yet in its infancy. Our
country, with its 10000 miles of rail-
roads, and the rapidly increasing de-
mand for other purposes, will soon re-
quire double our present production,
and an effort must be made to meet
these demands. Warren would offera
splendid. situation for rolling mills
and furnaces, did it only possess facil-
tiles for the easy conveyance of coal
to this place from the adjacent mines,
and there exists no good reason why
there should not, in less than five
years, be a dozen blast furnaces with
rolling mills to correspond.

In last weeks issue of the YOungs-

very heavy-articles appeared on
this subject, making the whole mat
ter about as luminous as mud or the

not contradicted, and We are content
to let the matter go before the people
in that shape, merely Feiterating a
condensed summary of our statement
as then given:-The line by way of
Niles is shorter by seven miles, will
be as cheaply built from Garfield to
Miles as from Garfield to Youngstown,
and will make better western connec-
tons. Eastern connections are not
wanted by the people of lower
