DENTAL ErHIcs.-Dental societies have generally
agreed to denounce unprofessiona any special ad-
veItisng by its members, such as resort to cards,
handbills, posters signs calling to peculiar styles OF
work, lowness of prices special modes of operating,
or the claiming Of superiority neighborng pTac-
ttoneers. At meeting, recently, of the Chicago
Dental Society," DR.. J. Ward Ellis was expelled tor
malpractice in this regard. In his defense he was
rather hard on the Society and upon the code OF
ethics-said they instituted by old fogies, with
foszed ideas of proprety, and their object was to
keep the young men of the profession under the
thumbs of the old ones. In conclusion, he thanked
the members for the reputation they had given him,
for his practice had doubled and instead of run"g
him, as they had intended, they were putting money
into his pocket and asserted that for every $40 paid
to newspapers for advertising, 500 had been returned
to him.

EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-In your issue
of the 9th, l see a letter from this place
treating, or assuming to treat, of affairs
in this place. As some matters of real
importance were lost sight of, 1 will en-
deavor in my humble manner TO give
your readers a little of the geography OF
the place.
Going north from Mr.. Kinsman's you
will find good farms, good fences and
good buildings. But none better or
better kept than those of Capt. Briggs,
who resides near the northern limits OF
the town. Before leaving State street
1 will mention that the property former
ly owned by Mr.. James Bishop has gOne
into the hands of Mr.. George Brackin.
Following State street back to the corner
of Meadville Avenue, you will find the
kinsman Hotel owned and kept by Mr..
Perry Gee, where If you are weary and
hungry, you will find a good home and
a good dinner.
You will be happy to learn that the
physician" and his bride the fair "Pro-
prietress" of the millinery store, the
Little Pony" and the Ancient Maid
ems are still alive, and enjoying good
health, n a usual flow of spirits, and
that they also have many friends who
wish each and all a long life attended
with its choicest blessings. I will try
and learn all hat is said at the "black-
smith shops and what happens in the
grocery" and inform youi in NV next.
I have only time in relation to our
churches to say that the Rev, II. B. Ed
red, pastor Of the Presbyterian church, is
holding a series of meetings in that
church, assisted by the Rey. DR.. Shaw
which gives promise OF good results.

EDITOR CHRONOLOGICAL the present
writing we are enjoying quite mild
spring-Iike weather. The sun shines
out clear and bright, and it seems
very much like spring. But the wealth
er is so changable that we cannot
tell how long this pleasant weather may
continue. Before this appears in print,
or even before it reaches you, the wealth
er may turn cold, and it may be blowing
a Irregular nor-wester." But there has
been very much wet weather this winter
which has made agood deal of high wa
ter on the ''bottoms,' las it is termed) in
the east part of this town. The old citi-
zens that live down there say that they
never knew a time before when there
has been so much high water rs there has
been this winter. Every week, for eight
or nine weeks in SUCCESSION the, water
was up so as to prevent travel on someo of
the roads.
Among the recent transfers of real eS-
tate, I will mention Ira Boyer TO A. G..
Fauss; 10 acres for $1,000. Emory San
derson to Ira Boyer; lll2 acres at $50
per acre. Some time last fall S. w. Ir-
win bought, at administrators sale, the
shop and property known as the Dos
ton House" at the north end of the COM
mons. and intends converting it into a
cheese factory. He has already COM
cenced fitting it up for that purpose.
When he gets it in working order, we
can boast of three cheese factories in our
town. AS usual at this season of the
year, several will change residences.
Lindsey Pierce, now living on S. NJ.
Laird's farm, will nov on to the farm
known as the George Arnold farm, and
c. A. Brigden now, living in that house,
will move into the parsonage. I am not
informed whether s. w. Irwin has rent
ed his farm or not. Joseph Wilcox,
now living on Jessie Grifin'S farm, has
got { move, but where / am not inform
C. n. Bates intends moving onto
the farm formerly owned by Emilius
deceased; and Mrs. Lampson
will move into his house a little north of
the centre. / am informed that We are
10 have a new store in town. Some time
next month a man by the nance of Pierce
is going to fill the store room, lately va
Gated by Mr.. A. Poe, with goods. Mr..
J. Clark, p. NJ, has moved the Postofice
the store of Z. Sperry, and has adj
ded several more boxes, and improved
the convenience and appearance Of b

EDITOR The Cheese Fac
tory formerly known IS the L. c. Coz

the Diford Brothers, closed out the las
lot ofcheese the 18th inst. The Novem.
Der cheese, which was sold for lScts. Del
pound, melted the patrons lScts. and {
mills per gallon of milk. There were
I79, IS9 gallons Of milk manufactured the
past season, which made I5S,640 lbs. OF
cheese; the net average being Is cts. and
. mills per gallon. The amount Of money
distributed to the patrons was $23, 1884, 90.
Thus, You see, 1t required but 9.4 lbs.
OF milk to make one Ofcheese. We think
every thing was skIllfully managed, and
so far as known, good satisfaction was
given. Since honest efforts should always
be rewarded, wehope they may be equal
ly successful the coming season. We
would like TO hear reports from other
factories throughout the county.
Our schools are generally in a flourish
ing condition. There are six schools in
the township, with a tolerable good at
tendance. They employ three male and
three female teachers.
Althou III we may not be in as flourish
ing a condition in every respect as Kins-
man, vet there is occasionally a wedding;
md babies are verv fashionable here, and
never were so numerous. s

EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-I was amused
on reading an article from this place. in
your paper of Feb. 9th, to see how easily
small errors creep into a communication
to suit a writer's convenience. Fol in
stance. the allusion to the grocery, in
that article, (when, in fact, the services
of the grocery were not brought into req
uisition at ALL served to fix the atten-
ton of the reader upon the n only we'd
ding, among the many, alluded to by the
writer. 1 suppose this is to be set to the
account of "Poet's License" The great
est misrepresentation of the article is, in
making one of Our grocery-men a party
to the temptation of the young Good
Templar, the location of the outrage be-
ing far from the grocery, in a distant
part of the town. This was too bad, for
they have enough to answer for, without
laying the sins of others TO their charge.
This maxim is a good one, "give the
devil his due" This one item, accord
ing to the writer's own definition, viz:
advance of the TRUTH should place
him at the head of one of those "self-
constituted news depots,'T and indeed.
vertantly left put of h list. The mind
of the writer must have been severely
exercised that he should bring this
couple in particular, to public notice, to
the exclusion of so many others. One is
almost led to believe the article a lament,
saVoring of the back of the fox with the
grapes out of reach. We read OF ~"l0olCes
in sleeps clothing and why not, IAN

Whoever he, she. or they may be. their
conclusion seems to be-to make virtue
of necessity to take their proper place,

of the Literary" a few weeks ago.

selection, and accord to the partner

Pennington.

Mr.. EDITORIALS O citizen of Farming
ton permit me to say a few words in re-
ply to your correspondent "X." We
have not been unmindful of his invidi-
Gus shots at our town for some months
past; but supposed his disease, of that
peculiar nature, which if let alone, would
Iind its own remedy; or at least that a
change of climate would rid him of the
malady: but from his effusion in your
issue of the 9th inst, we conclude his
case is chronic, and needs thoroughbred
ment.
Inspeakingofthe dilapidated condition
of Jackson, Mississippi, tx" says: "Just
take Pennington, her muddy streets. her
tumble down buildings, and her general
unthrifty look" In communications
heretofore he calls us such "pet names
as Scrub Town. - "Pink Village" &c
We learn also that, in private conversa-
ton, he docs not spare the town or its
citizens.
We have no desire to boast of our town
or its attsinments, but believe it will
fayorably compare in appearance, or
thrift with almost any of the inland
towns ON the Reserve where there is no
speciality to keep them growing. We
have a thriving institution of learning, |
which has established a reputation and
character above reproach. 1t has thor
ough n competent teachers. Have
three stores doing a profitable business,
and other smaller Establishments such as
boot and shoe stores, drug and grocery
stores, three harness shops, a cabinet
shop and furniture store, a good Touring
mill, a flax mill, employing from twenty
five to forty men steadily, and doing a
business of from thirty to forty thousand
dollars annually; three cheese factories,
do a thriving business in the sum-
.er months; besides many dealers in
cattle and horses, with the usual number
Of mechanics, professional men, &c. Our
also, are S thrifty and well to

Chnrch Hill.

Mr.. Editorials many of your read
ers reside beyond the boundary lines OF
Liberty, and have never visited Church
Hill, they may be deceived by the name;
S%upposing there must be either a very
majestic church edifice here, or a great
number of churches, or that all the peo-
plecongregate here for church privileges.
Neither of these suppositions are true
What particular event in the past sug-
gested so distinctive a name 1 can not
now state. Be that what it may, the
name is ominous. About one mile east,
is the location of the United Presbyterian
Church which has recently undergone
extensive repairs, and is now fitted up
and furnished in a very neat and CON-
Portable style; and was reopened, with
appropriate services, on the first inst.
One mile on the west of us is the Evan
gelical Church; and two and One-half
miles west is the NJ. Z. Church, and
village of Girard. North and east of US,
is a place called 'Sodom;" not where
Lot lived, but where the Protestant
Methodists have a church organization ;
but 1 believe occupy a school house for
church services. So you see Church
Hill is not 20 Liberty what old Gerizim
was to the Samaritans, or Jerusalem to
the Jews. Still, Church Hill is a place
worthy its name; having two very re-
spectacle church edifces, namely: the
Presbyterian and the Methodist Episco-
pal, both occupied by intelligent and en-
ergetic congregations If w~orshipers. In
the latter, a furnishing Sabbath School
is being kept up, for the first time, during
the winter months, and so far has proved
a success.
On the evening of the 10th inst, an en-
tertainment was given in the NJ. L.
Church mainly for the interests of the
Sabbath School. The exercises consisted
of declarations and dialogues by the
children of the school, interspersed with
some fine singing, led by Mr.. Calvin
Nelson. A fine table, well furnished
with apples, confectioneries, nuts, &C..
provided by Mr.. u. Kline, Superintend-
m of the school, which wefe passed
around to all present, contributed to the
enjoyment of the occasion. A second
part of the programme consisted in the
presentation of a fine gold watch, chain,
and breast pin, TO Miss Malvina Cald-
well; q gift from many friends, As a
token oftheir appreciation of her fidelity
and efficiency as organist in the church.
The watch, &c, was purchased from
Mr.. J. King, of Warren, and valued at
SSl. The presentation was made by Rev.
Ely, pastor of the church, with some APP
propriate remarks, suggested by the
name, material and design OF the article;
and which were responded to by the re-
cipient in a very distinct, happy and
appropriate manner. The occasion was
a very pleasant one, and the large assem-
bly, dispersed feeling it was good 10 be
