Observation-Disclosures.

La / week a drummer from a print
ing Office in Mansfield, called upon
isome of our business men begging job
printing, and we are sorry to say, for
the credit of the town, that he succeed
ed in carrying away about $500 worth
of printing that could be as well done
here as in Mansfield and as cheaply,
Now if these business men, who expec,
to receive their support from the citi.
zensso CoshoctOn were served in a like
manner, perhaps they would be a little
more careful in the future how they at.
tempt to cripple home mechanics and
home industry. If they want to break
down the local press of their county
this thing of sending their printing away
is one of the effectual ways Of doing it
We have not yet, however, heard Of
any respectable business house or bust
ness man encouraging the practice
[ Coshoctop Age.
Runners from Cleveland, Columbus
and other cities have met with similar
encouragement in the town of St
Clairsville, not so much from her bust
ness men as from County officials
These officials during their candidacy
and tenure of Office use the 'tlocal
press'' to defend themselves, and de.
mand that the columns OF "their organ''
be ladened week after week, with arti-
cles demonstrating to the people that
they are Enlightened" christian
Gentlemen" with large business ca
paeity," and that "they are the very
men" 70 serve the dear pu6tic for four
or .Jiuc thousand per year.
"rhe organ" is expected to support
the Irregular nominees" to Office and
do all in its power to secure their eleo-
tion. OF COURSE, it is expected that
the successful candidate will encourage
the aforesaid organ, by sending to some
other job or newspaper Office in New
York, Cleveland or other foreign place
for their blanks, and other printing
which they require.
We submit that the practice Of send
off for printing, when it can be done
neatly and expeditiously at home is
unjust to the "local press" and discour-
sgement to home enterprise. We in
sist that the peoples money be expend-
ed ameng the people who contribute to
dlI the Golfers of the County Treasury,
and not among capitalists oflarge cities.
We hope TO see a reform In this matter
even, though, the work Is given to our
contemporaries.

PETERS MUSICAL MONTHLY COM
pletes its Tenth Volume with the De-
cember number, and it is doing Mr..
Peters but simple justice to stale that
his excellent magazine is improving
with age. 1t was good years ago, when
it first made its appearance, and it has
been steadily improving until the pres
|ent time, when it can only be pro-
nounced perfect, and indispensable to
every lover of music. The December
number, price 80 cents, contains three
Ballads, a Christmas Song, an Anthem,
a Four-hand piece, as played at Theo-
dOre Thomas Orchestral Concerts, and
three splendid Piano Pieces, any single
piece being worth in sheet-music form
more than Mr.. Peters asks for the en-
tire lot. Giving so much really good
music for such small sum, it is no
wonder that PETERS MUSICAL MONTH
LY has hosts of friends among our
music-loving people. Those who have
seen it will, of course, renew their sub
scription for the coming year; others,
less fortunate, should send the Publish
er, J. L. PETERS, 500 Broadway, New
York, 81, and secure the last four num-
bers as sample copies, or 50 for years
subscription.

CENTREHILLE LOCALS.

EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-Since the new
administration of the Chronicle | have
not ventured to issue any locals from
this place, partly on account of SO
much political ne VS. being in the way.
and not knowing the desire of the new
editor. AS you have solicited the gen.
eral news from the different towns. in
the County, perhaps it will not be out
of place to throw in our little mite
The greatest weight on the minds of
the people here is the Epizootic. Near
ly an of the horses in this community
are affected with it, but no cases yet
have proved fatal, or even very serious,
some have worked their horses while
affected with it, and they recovered
as from cold. 1t does not affect
business much as the farmer does not
need horses at this season of the year.
The most lively business is among the
wool-buyers, agents have sprung up
from nearly every cabin, with wool on
the brain. Prices ranges from 55 to so
cents. We are having cold snap with
enough snow to tempt young America
out with his sleigh looking for his Nam
cy to play love in the frost, and she is
silly enough to play. A serious acci-
dent took place on the playground at
the school house a few weeks ago:
while the boys were taking game at
ball, one boy accidently struck his
brother with the bat which proved IA
tai. Everybody appears satisfied with
the election of Grant, and sorry that
Greeley is dead, and came near say
ing that Poorman is living, but not so,
we desire him to live, but to be careful
when he dies politically that lie don't
die really. CITIZEN.

ACoBSBURGH LOCALS.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:-Not your
calls for locals in your last issue we pro.
pose to respond, although our village is
so very quiet that there is seldom any-
thing of importance occurs.
The most excitement at present is
caused by disappearance of the "Horse
Epidemic in onr vicinity; it is raging
pretty severely in the surrounding
neighborhood, but as yet, we have but
one case in our place. 1t seems to as
sumo the shape of severe distemper,
and the general impression here is.
that if the victims are properly cared
for, that there is little danger of it prov
ing fatal.
Old winter has put in appearance in
rather an abrupt manner, and we now
have the best sleighing that we have
had for three years, and judging from
the number of persons out sleighine.
the merry tingle of the bells, and the
peals Of laughter from the passers-by.
they are enjoying it to the full extent
of their capacity.
We have singing class organized
and taught by G. w. Milligan. which
bids fair to be a success; Mr.. MillIgan
is one of the best Instructors in music
that the country can boast of, and we
anticipate pleasant and profitable ses-
sion. r. A. Kelsey has been teaching
our school for month past, he has
near sixty scholars, and considering
that he has no assistant, and the pro-
gress that he is making, we certainly
do not go too far when we say that we
have Q model teacher. We also had
the pleasure short time since of visit
ing the school of our former "Peda-
gogue," Jas, Z. Garrett, who is now
teaching in Businessburgh; we are truly
glad to see that Mr.. Garrett is progress
ing 80 well, and that there is so much
credit attached to his success. Less
than year ago that school was in
rather dilapidated condition, but
since his introduction there, it is one of
the most prosperous. AS contempora-
ries In this glorious work of education
we wish you success Bob and Jim,
The wells have all give out here and
the people have to carry water from
the surrounding springs and brooks:
we fear If we do not get rain soon that
the stock will suffer from the effects of
the drought.
A great many of the farmers have
not got their corn gathered yet, we
think that cold hands this winter will
learn them hereafter to ''strike while
the iron Is hot"

We have lost confidence in Private
Dalzell. He has written two letters to
every newspaper in the United States,
Canada, and New Zealand. In one of
them he says Noble county has not a
dram shop. In another he says Noble
county has not had a man in Jail for
the last year. And now comes truth
full gentleman and says that there have
been two fellows in the Noble county
Jail the past year, and both of them
were put there for keeping dram shops.
Therefore, we move a general conven-
tion of all the newspaper editors in the
world, to provide newspaper for
Private Dalzell to write TO, in order
that all the rest may escaps. 1t will
require heavy subsidy, but we will
pay our share.-[ Journal.
