THE USURY LAW

VIII be run through the Legislative
mill this winter. Several bills have been
introduced with the intention of chang
ing or tinkering the interest law. One
bill provides for any rate, as parties may
agree, provided that when there is no
written agreement the rate shall be six
per cent. on bonds, bills, notes, judg-
ments, DEGREES, verbal contracts, book
accounts and settlements. Another pro-
vides for a rate not exceeding ten per
cent. Another repeats the s per cent.
law, and ~re-enacts the old six per cent.
law. The advocates of free trade in
money are very active, and the Standing
House Committee on Interest are friend
" to high rates, or unrestricted agree
mentS.

For the Chronicle
Potato Talk.
CHAPTER %.

The potato mania perhaps is conta-
gious. leastwise we sometimes feel a lit
tie feverish when reading the glowing
accounts of some new Seeding. That
potatoes will gradually d~eteriorate and
will in 4 few years almost lose their
identity, l have no doubt. Then as a
case of necessity new varieties must be
propagated. How to do this, so as to
make IN Improvement, is the of
some of our fever. That ''there is as
good fish in the sea as eve vas caught'
is an old adage we like to dwell upon
We know by experience that potatoes
planted in an isolated place the seed
therefrom will produce the same variety
as the parent; for instance: 1 planted
seed from the Early Goodrich raised in
the garden, and got all Goodrich. / pro-
pose this springto plant several varieties
intermingled, choosing those most hardy,
productive, good quality, and earlineSs
may be a good trait. Here is my list:
Peach Blow, Harrison, Early Rose, Ex-
c%elsiOr, and perhaps, out of respect, Bre-
Zees' King. As the Peach Blow is much
later it needs to be started first-twO
weeks perhaps. I expect the Excelsior
to yield the balls, as it is very prolific in
that line. Will other Trumbull farmers
experiment originating new varieties?
Perhaps our agricultural society will
potatoes produced in this way. Would
not this be a better stimulus TO the socie-
ty than a reward for the largest collection
of old varieties, some of which were long
ago exhausted? TRCMBULL.

THE BIBLE BILL,

~
The author of the bill to prohibit the
reading of the bible in the common
schools of the State, has had his bill re-
ferred to himself as a committee of one.
1t is probable he will permit it to "sleep
the sleep that knows no waking" The
suthor says, however, that he will bring
it again to public view. 1t will stand no
chance of passing. Ithas been very gen.
orally and literally denounced by press
and people. No gentleman has a better
chance to defy public sentiment by per-
sistance in a bad cause, than has Mn,
Ward with his bible bill.
REJoICINas.
The eOlored population of Columbus
were in extacies for several days over
the passage of the 18th Amendment.
They met en- masse and poured ont the
gladness of their hearts in thanks to
Heaven and this General Assembly for
the recognition of their rights to the
ballot. They pledged that their standing
loyalty to the Republican party should
be a monument of their gratitude for
the efforts of that party in the cause of
human rights. The Democrats are dis
posed TO grow humorous over the fact
that the colored Baptist church of this
city unanimously resolved to enter he
names of all the Republican members of
the legislature on their church record.
They say we are now all church mem
hers" So mote il be.
TIL WEATHER
Has been glorious here for several
days past. The sun has shown out
brightly from a clear sky, end the air
has been quite mild. Snow does not lay
here so long as in our Northern cOun-
ties. While you were snow-enTeloped

EDITOR CHRONICLE:-Our town has
recently been gone through at about the
tune of one hundred dollars or more by
an enterprising and energetic man, Civ
ing his name as J.. H. Miller.
He came to this town last summe and
began work as a mason. He was sue
cessful in his trade and had all the work
he could do. He also had the confidence
of most of the people here who took
him to be an honest and upright young
man.
He left here to go to Warren Jan. 18th,
and said he would return the next day
But mary return yet. Suspicious be.
gan to leak out Immediately that some
thing was wrong, as he took his entire
collection of earthly goods, all packed in
an enormous trunk, and instead of stop
ping at Warren, went his way, no one
here knows whittier. He had borrowed
several sums of money here and there
and had feathered his nest in a very fine
style. He borrowed twenty-five dollars
of Geo. Hull and gave rs collateral Sc
curity a note of $50 payable to j.. II.
Miller, and signed by Geo. W. Clark,
Mount Union. Mr.. Hull has written to
Mr.. Clark and aScertained that the note
is a base imposition and forgery" He
borrowed Geo. w. Snyder's valise to go
to Warren. Snyder still thinks that
while the lamp holds out to burn, &c.
BY summing up the several accounts
borrowed. il is found that about 500
have changed hands, through the enter
prise of this promising youth. Mr.. Hull
has made no nov yet that we know of
to recover his money or arrest the for
ger. We hope that he may still be brought
TO JUSTICE.

DEAR CHRoNICLE:-On Thursday and
Friday evenings, Jan. 9th and 9TH, a
dramatic and literary entertainment was
given in this place by the high school,
with sOme outside help. The proceeds
were to be applied to the r~e-seating of the
school building. We, 1.-THE un%dersigned,''
went without any idea of getting the
worth of our money, rs bloomfield has
not had much reputation in the literary
line for some time past. We were aston
lshed TO be served with so good a BAN
quet of essays, concert Rotations, colo
quail discussions, orations and music
The pieces played were the Peoples
Lawyer and The Idiot Witness" both
of which were acted a little above the
average of common theatres. Especially
the part of "SOlon Shingle," carried by
Mr.. l.. 4. Ferry, who never failed TO
bring the house down. Altogether the
affair was a success. Especially a finan-
cial one, as the clear gain was over sew
enty-one dollars SD. The perfOrman-
ces were under the management of Prof.
j. n. Hurlburt, Principal of the school.
The Prof. has a first class reputation as
instructor and manager in schools where
he has been employed. He is an earn
est, willing man, with a heart given TO
his words. Although coming among us
a stranger, he has already won our re-
spect and esteem May success attend
him and his amiable young wife, and
make them willing TO stay with us. We
hope the Prof. will continue in the good
work he has begun, by giving US another
performance before long, for our enjoy
ment and some more money. for the school.
He need not fear a lack of patronage.
Every thing is quiet in town at pres
ent. If you dress US up in print this
time we may e you some more
locals some other time. Y.
