Judge in this Judicial District. Judge
Glidden has been appointed to fill the
unexpire5 term, which would have
ended on the second Monday of Febru-
airy.
The Friday evening dances held at
the Austin House are pleasant affairs,
especially the last dance. Treated with
the fine music furnished by the Ger
mania band of Cleveland, the occasions
pass of to the pleasure and enjoyment
of all.
1871 celebrated its last days with
lightning, thunder and rain. The cleo
trical part of the exercises was quite
unreasonable, and perhaps not Undesirable;
but the rain was pronounced good, only
that the quantity did not hardly half
supply the general demand.
Postmaster Wise, of this city, has
made arrangements for a morning mail
by the SOS am. train from here to Cleve-
land. The evening mail is also to be
continued. This arrangement will give
US two daily mails to and from Cleve-
land, and will be a matter of great con-
venience to the business public.
At the election held in this place, on
Saturday last, by the stockholders Of the

We publish this week the first of a
series ofartieles entitled fragments Of
History of Newton Township" The
articles are from the pen OF a gentleman
who is capable of doing the subject
ample justice, and we have no doubt the
sketches will prove Of much local in-
terest. We hope to be able to give
interesting historical "reminiscences from
several other townships in the county,
during the year 1872.
E-The concert given under the auspices
of the Episcopal Church on Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings Of last week, was
8 success. Some aid was obtained
from abroad, yet the music of our home
people. was very fine, listened to with
great pleasure, and repeatedly encored
by the audience. The Old Folks. in
costumes Of years ago, brought forth
the songs of the olden time in a pleasing
style. Dana's orchestra furnished some
fne overtures. Mrs. VIM. Birchard
sang several pleasing operas, and was
frequently encored. Altogether the
concer proved that Warren has some
musical stars.
1t seems we are likely to realize
what has long been talked of-the con-
struction of another line of railroad from
Youngstown to Ravenna, via Newton
Falls. But whether our city is to be
benefited directly by its construction or
not, is yet but soon) to be determined by
surveys and pending negotiations. The
question to be determined lies between
the canal route, VIA Warren, and one Of
the former surveys between Newton
Falls and Youngstown. The western
portion, as decided upon, is on or near
the canal line, as formerly surveyed.
We are well advised that the company
has completed its stock subscription as
required by law, elected permanent
officers, and means work.
