Rev. n. P. Bailey, writing to the
gainesville Telegraph, over date of
" Warren, August 81" devotes several
paragraphs to matters here. We quote
the following:
Yesterday VISITED Mr.. Richards
NEW FURNACE.
1t is a splendid structure, having all the
the newest and most approved appa-
atus. It is nearly complete, there be-
ing only a few "last things to be done.
Ore and coal are being delivered, and
ho will commence work in about two
weeks. This is a thing Of which we
Warrenites feel proud, and from which
we expect great things. It is the acorn +;
the big oak will grow from it; and in a
few years its spreading branches will
cover all the place. Then, too, there is
q second ground for a feeling Of pride in
this grand work, and that is the fact that
the engines and other fine machinery
were made here in Warren, by
H. C. REID 4 CO.,
Who rank among the finest and most
accurate machinists in the country
Their work is always as near perfect as
can be; and being young men Of the
highest integrity, they are making for
themselves a splendid reputation all over
the land. Mr.. Richards will now hasten
the Reconstruction" Of the old rolling
mill, and when that is completed and in
full running order, we hope some Of the
" Rips Of gainesville will wake up and
pay Warren a visit, and learn what they
might have If they would bestir them
selves, bury their ~jealousies, and go to
work and build
THAT RAILROAD
From Fairport to Warren. am salts
fed that it is not g lack Of money or sub
scriptions that has brought on dead
ness in this matter, 50 much rs it is a
superabundance Of not very amiable
feeling. The fact that Youngstown is
Just now a~l-absorbed in a new love,
should not discourage any one. The
three hundred thousand dollars she
talked OF subscribing would not build
the fourteen miles between Warren and
Youngstown ; consequently the money
to build it from FairpOrt to Warren
must be raised without any help from
Youngstown. Why not, then, go on
with the work. Build directly and i'm
mediately to Warren. In the mean
time Warren will build a road to the

carried to Sharon, Pa. With the road
complete from Fairport to Warren, and
thence to Vienna, it would have about
all the business it could secure II the
road ran on to Youngstown. The coal
from Vienna and from along the Niles &
New Lisbon road could all be secured I;
and so could the ore-carrying for all the
furnaces of Sharon, Warren, and so on
to Youngstown over the MahOning road.
And all the eastern merchandise for and
from the valley would find its way over
the road to gainesville, while the proba-
bilites are that when the road should be
built connecting Warren and Paines-
vile, It would be continued to Cleve-
land, and so make another competing
line to that city from the Pennsylvania
Central
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OF Warren are 10 open with almost a
whole corps OF new teachers. The new
Superintendent, Mr.. J. A. Barney, is
already in the city, and is making a
most favorable impression.
THE n. &. CHURCH
Has a beautiful lot on High street. a few
rods east Of the Public Square, on which
they propose Il build a very fine church
at q cost of about forty thousand dollars.
I understand that they viii soon break
ground and put in the foundation.
The Episcopalians have a beautiful
church, built only & short time ago
The Baptists and Presbyterians are both
greatly in need OF new church build
ings. hope the latter society viii take
advantage Of the Five Million Memorial
Fund to be raised this year, and sub
scribe enough to build a new church,
lecture room, Sabbath school ROOM, in
FAINT class room, church parlor and par
sonaFs. They have a handsome lot just
at the south end Of Mahoning Avenue,
which is the ~pleasantest street in the
city; and a subscription Of thirty-fve
thousand dollars, payable in one, tiOo
ard three years, would give them all
they need, and would also be passed to
their credit as so much given to the Me-
moral Fund.
