Fire at Newton Falls.

DEAR CHRoNICLE:-The wagon and
blacksmith shop of ]. R. Stocking, stu
ated in the slower village" caught fire,
and was totally destroyed with its con-
tents, on last Thursday morning. The
building was completely enveloped in
flames before the alarm was raised, SO
that nothing could be done only in efforts
to save other property, which the rain of
the night preceding made comparatively
easy. There is not much doubt but the
fire was the work of an incendiary, and
two or three persons are found who
claim they saw some one running down
the river bank shortly after the alarm
was raised; but in the confusion no pur-
suit was made, and the tracks left in the
mud have not yet identified any one.-
There was talk that the property was
burned to recover the insurance, which
was thought to be than its value,
but there is no evidence to Eubstantiate
such a charge, and the cause of the fire
still is a mystery. The property was in
sured for about $500, and was estimated
by the owner TO be worth, contents and
all, over $1,000.

Destructive Fire at CanneId.

On yesterday morning "wednesday
at about three o'clock A. NJ, our citizens
were aroused from their peaceful slum-
bers by the cry of fire, and the ringing
of the Court HoGRe bell. The fire was
first discovered in the southeast corner
of the Gothic building, on the west side
of Broad street, owned by G. Van Hyn-
ing, ESQ. The building was occupied by
H. H. Edsall as a tin store, and by G.
w. Shellhorn as a boot and shoe store.
The flames soon spread to an adjoining
building, owned by s. W. ellison. The
first floor OF this building was occupied
by J. V. McCurley as a harness shop,
and the upper part was used by Nj. Gill
son for a law office. 1t was soon found
impossible to save any portion of the
building, and after removing a portion
of MI. Edsall's stock, snd that of Nc
Curley's and ShelIhorn's, every effort
was made to save the dwelling house of
c. French, which stood within a few feet
of the burning buildings. By untiring
efforts on the part of our citizens, the
house was saved, and only sustained
slight damages by the fire.
There was no insurance on the build
ings owned by Mr.. Van Hyning and
Gibson. The stock of tin ware, &C., be-
longing TO Mr.. Edsall had an insurance
OF 81 900, in the Home and New Haven.
Ar. ~Shellhorp's stock was insured for
5000, n the Colu1biana Mutual. Mr..
Van Hyning's loss is estimated at 3, 500,
Gilson's at 81, 1000. Mr.. Edsall suffered
more severely than the rest in loss OF
stock, as what little he managed TO get
ont was badly damaged. His loss will
rot fall short of 81, 000.-Mdhoninq Her

Rail Road Meeting at Vienna.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Pursuant to previous
notice, n large number of the citizens of
Vienna assembled January 10Th, at the
Town Hall to take into consideration the
location of the Warren & Sharon r. r.
A committee vas appointed to confer
with the President and Directors of the
Road with reference 10 a new survey,
which in their opinion prevents many
advantages over the one made by the
company. 1t is thought that a line
shorter by at least two miles than the
surveyed, may be run near the farm
owned by Mathew Meadley, on which is
q valuable ledge of rock and thence to
the centres of Vienna and Brookfield,
running through the heart of the coal
deposits in both townships, and on a
direct liEe to Sharon. Another meeting
is to be held on Saturday evening, Feb
ruary 5th, TO hear the report of the COM
mittee, and to take such action as may
seem necessary to effect a change in the
location of the road. The citizens of
Brookfield and Sharon, are invited to at
tend the meeting, and to cooperate in
securing a location which will satisfy
the various interests involved. L.

Common Schools.

EpIToR CHRONICLE:-There has been
much said of late through your paper in
respect to school examinations; some
complaining, others vindicating the man
ner in which they are conducted. Now
1 shall not undertake to do either as L
am not personally interested in teaching
or teachers, any farther h a l have sew
eral children who are attending school,
and for whose education and good in
struction 1 am of course anxious. /
have now had % years experience in
sending scholars to our common schools,
and from that experience 1 must say
that If 1 had left all to the teachers, my
children would have grown up in COM
parative ignorance; and here, let me say,
much of the fault lies in our getting so
little benefit from m schools.
We should examine critically our child
rem at home when they are attending
school so that we may know whether
they are really making progress or not.
When you are tired and need a short
rest from your work, a the opportu-
nitv to hear the children's lessons. You
will be surprised how many hours you
will find in a week you have thus be-
slowed on YOUR children, which will be
a helping TO them in after life. The
placing a teacher in the school house
who will not or cannot teach our child
rem, is of no avail. Life is short; time
precious, and children should be learning
something beneficial every day, until
the cares of life come upon them. In
the forty-five or fifty terms which 1 have
sent to school, 1 have not found it neces-
sarv to take them put and teach them
or mostly at home, but three
or four.
Teachers as a general thing do not pay
that attention to study themselves as was
the custom when 1 was a Juvenile. An
defect is that too many are anxious
to get what may be termed a polished
education and in order to get a smatter-
ing Of the dead languages will spend
thier time on these at the expense of the
rduiments. Another fault 1 think rests
with parents i'll neglecting to visit the
schools. The more we visit vi schools
the better we will be prepared to judge
of the qualifications of the teacher, and
of the behavior of the scholars and the
they are making; it also en-
courages the teacher, and they will feel
as the the parents were taking an interest
which will give them more confidence,
and impart a good influence over the
school. Hoping that progress will be
made by examiners, teachers, parents
and scholars, 1 am as ever a friend of
COMMON SCHOOLS.

For the Chronicle.
From the Postmaster.

WARREN, FEB. Isl, 1870.
MEssRs. 7. j. MCLAIN, a. ID. WEBB
AND OTHERS 81 have carefully exam
ined the petition, asking for the removal
of the Post Office to Main Street, and
find among the names many personal
friends, and many whose opinions and
regard l highly esteem, and in duly con-
sidering their request, have examined
the Don proposed for the Office, togeth-
er with the surroundings, and l think
my conclusion is such as any n must
arrive at, who has unbiasedly considered
the matter. In the first place, the pres
emit location is nearer the geographical
centre of the city than the one proposed,
and, 1 think, nearer the centre of the
population. The centre OF business is
more or less f~uctuating, but I am clearly
of the opinion that the Post Office is
nearer the centre Of business now,-esti-
mating the business of the city in all its
departments in dollars and cents, than it
would be on Main Street.
The room proposed is entirely too
narrow, only allowing, with the best
arrangement, seven feet Inside of the
boxes, for the employees, which any one
acquainted with the business of the
office, will see at a glance, is totally in
adequate for the rapid separation and
distribution of the mails. The present
OlllCt has eleven lteI llsluc Vi lue DOAtSs
and my experience has been, that there
is mons too much room for convenience
and dispatch.
Another objection is; the approach
from the street to the Main st. room is
generally so thronged with vehicles, as
would greatly impede the receipt and
departure of the mails, which is a matter
of no small importance when it is con-
sidered that there are daily about four
teen arrivals and departures. Neither
would 1t be convenient for those who
come for their mail in carriages, as is
common at the present location, which is
always free from these distractions. 1t
is my desire 70 make the Office as o N
venient for the public in every respect as
can reasonably be asked, and with this
view, I have given your petition my
careful consideration. Surprising the
office should be removed as requested, |
what assurance is there that the other
part of the city, flor you are aware this is
a sectional peIition,l would not immedi-
ately procure as large and influential a
petition for the return of the Office to its
present location, or an adjacent one?
What then would be my duty? l trust,
after re-considering the matter in all its
bearings, you will agree with me, that ii
is inexpedient TO remove the office at
present.
Respectfully, H. H. TOWNSEND.

3,5SS head. against liza head last week, 1856

the same as noted in our report from day TO

active demand existing for well matured
stock, and prices for such ruling firm and
buoyant. The supply for good first and Sec
ond-class steers was rather more liberal than
usual, but the stimulating character OF East

force, and under a good, healthy con
sumption, all desirable shipping stock
was taken up sharp at very fun prices,
sales making at S5,25d5,75 for "pOny" built
steers of from $50 to l,u0O fbs average; S6,OOG

are as good prices as the same quality OF
stock would have brought in this market at
any time within the paStsiX months. Good
butchers stock and good stock steers were
inquired for TO a fair extent, the former at
