Mr.. EDITORIALS the chief topic OF
conversation Just now seems to be the
removal of the Post Office, let US look at
the matter, and some of the reasons
therefore. First it is urged that the
present location is not in the business
center of the city. This is a good, and
the only real objection the friends of
removal have offered, and yet, the pres
ent location is not unreasonably out of
the way. 1t is a place of easy access,
as near the centre. of the city, and is I'M
doubtedly as convenient for a majority
of the inhabitants as the proposed new
office would be.
As for the objection of the Hicy steps,"
it is not worth considering for the same
objection lies at the door of nearly every
church, hotel and other public buildings
in the city.
I have no doubt our Postmaster is actu-
ated by desire to accommodate the peo-
pie generally, but considering the I'M
certain tenure of office, might he not
reasonably object to an increase of rent,
which is already more than the Govern
ment provides for?
There are quite an amount of "hx-
lures" in the present office that would
not answer for the proposed new one,
and consequently a good deal of expense
would be necessary to fit up the office.
But my main objection to the new
Office is its size. The front windows
must of necessity be in the Office, in
order to afford light enough to do the
business, and allowing as much in
the Office as there is in the present one,
there would be only about three feet of
space outside for the public; and those
who have seen the crowd that sometimes
gather whilst the mails are being dis
tributed, will see at a glance how made
quate the room would be. Should you
encroach on the Office room enough to
leave sufficient space outside, you will
have the inside so small that it will be
almost impossible to perform the duties
of the Office with any degree of comfort.
Respectfully, A.

full evergreens in their house and loaded
them with gifts. Although intended
more particularly for the Sunday School

that the presents amounted to over 5000
in value. Mr.. Hunt, the pastor, receiv-

church was beautifully decorated with
wreaths of and presented a
charming view to the large crowd closely
packed within its walls. 1t was pro-
nounced a perfect success, and all went
to their homes fully satisfied.

Death Of sn Old Citizen.

It is with regret that we note the death
Of JAMES B. KING, of Bazetta, who died
Sunday morning last, in his 18th year.
In 1870 Mr.. King, in company with his
father, arrived at Garfield, then in this
county,, from Litchheld, Conn.,, where
he resided until 1906, when he removed
to Bazetta, and settled upon the farm on
which he died. During our struggle in
1872 Mr.. King, served with much credit
to himself, and honor to his country, I'M
der command of General HARRISON.
Politically he was always the friend OF
the oppressed, and was long connected
with the old Free Soil party, after which
ne became an ardent Republican and re-
manned so to his death. A pure christian
spirit was his, and his acts Of kindness
are known to many. He passed SssGsr
fully away to that "bourn from whence
no traveller r~eturnsi;' after a lingering
illness.

EDITOR CHRONICLE Ills seldom
anything of importance transpires IN
this township that is worthy of note II
so, we do not find it mentioned in the
columns of the CHRONICLE.
We, by the outside world, are little
thought of and perhaps less cared for.
Be that as it may we have the assurance
among ourselves that we shall not LET
occasions which should be duly celebra-
ted pass unheeded.
On Saturday last the friends and rela-
tives of Mr.. and Mrs. William Long
more, one OF our energetic and stirring
farmers, celebrated their silver wedding,
The d~isagreeable condition of the roads
and weather prevented many from at
tending, whom it would have pleased to
have been there. However, as it was,
the house was swarmed with smiling
faces and their appreciation of the bride
and groom was shown by the name in
which presents of silver ware vas Law
ished upon the happy couple. During
the afternoon the company partook of a
magnificent dinner, such only as car
grace the table of an Ohio farmer, after
which the company amused themselves
till late hours, when they took their de-
parture for their homes. The bride and
groom looked as sprightly and happy as

ago, and our wish is that their lives may
be prolonged another twenty-five years
and have the same pleasure Of a golden
wedding as this has produced.
Our younger boys and girls are al
present making efforts to develOpe their
vocal talent under the direction of Mr..
Snyder who has quite a large school and
who intends to givea concert at its close
when, and where, that will be 1 am not
fully informed, but shall endeavor &c
acquaint you of it.
1 am pleased to say we have no acct
dents to record and hope it may always
be so.
Our schools are well attended and an
unusual interest is felt by both schol-
ars and teachers. The board of school
examiners have at least done themselves
credit by their strict examination OF
teachers as we all can endorse by the
teachers we nov have.
The Sabbath Schools are not lost sight
of, and for Religious services we are well
supplied, but the roads which have no
permanent bottom prevents the usual
attendance. Yours, L.

but we are informed that they are not OF

the engineer, but a strong wind blowing
in the opposite direction prevented the
sound of the whistle from reaching her.
