wednesday, with favorable adyiees from

became slower and prices declined a full

cattle Of the best grades and sold quicker
and for better prices relatively han
more common stock. This week coun-
try buyers, and others who generally
take the common stock, were not here in
strong force, and dealers had to look to
eastern buyers. While most Of the
strictly prime that were offered sold,
some went through on first hands. The
market closes with 8 few lots unsold.

The work Of ballasting and leveling up
the road between gainesville and Char
don has been temporarily discontinued,
The changing weather and severe storms
have made il impossible to do the work
of ballasting to advantage or properly,
and it has therefore been decided to de-
fer it until the weather shall be settled
and favorable. In the meantime, the
plans and specifications of the line,
between Chardon and Warren and
Youngstown, are being made ready
for building. In addition to this,
Messrs. Ford & Meyer have put a corps
of engineers on what is termed the Hud-
son Branch, from Chardon to Hudson,
to make a survey between those points
on the line of the old gainesville 4
Hudson road. We have no positive in
formation as to the object of this survey,
but the general opinion is that Messrs.
Ford & Meyer contemplate the building
of that branch. There are sundry and
divers Tumors afloat in the community
in connection with the stopping of the
ballasting between here and Chardon,
and among them, II that the road is
about to be sold to the Pennsylvania
Central. If thatis so, all right. But the
Engineers, Directors, or other officers Of
the road here know nothing Of any such
plan.
Messrs. Ford & Meyer have thus far
fulfilled their contract with our citizens.
Their contract was simply to lay the iron
from gainesville to Chardon, to entitle
them to % per cent. of the subscription.
They might have laid it from the outside
limits of each town, and in addition, have
stocked the road for running, which
their contract did not require to do. They
have already expended more than double
the amount to which they are now en-
titled to collect on the stock subscrip-
tons, and under all the circumstances it
looks as though they are not only fulfill
ing their promises but are running full
as much risk as those who have SUBJ
scribed stock. 1t will, at all events, be
full time to distrusttheir good faith when
they fail to keep and fulfill their con-
tracts.-PdineSvilIe Telegraph.

4 CHAPTER In the Book Of Chronicles.


A Chapter In the Book Of Chronicles.
l. And it anne to pass on the 18th of
the month, in the reign Of Grant, in the
year Of our Lord, 1872, that the events In
the following chapter transpired:
2. And there was one George, whose
surname was Smith, who dwelt in the
land OF the Meccaites.
8. And he said unto Am, whose sur
name was also Smith, who wal his wife,
come, let US make a feast Of goodly
things, let US gather together our friends,
our neighbors and our kinsmen, and let
US rejoice and make merry. And size
said, it is well.
4. Then George, whose surname was
Smith. went forth through the streets
far and near. and said, Lo, 1 have been
married ten years; I beseech you to
cone unto US that we make merry let
US have a . tin wedding" that all may
rejoice and be glad.
5. And they came, one and all, mas
much as the house could hardly contain
the numbers, so great was the multitude,
numbering in all about one hundred
and fifty souls.
s. Ard they all with one accord did
walk up 10 q table and did lay thereon.
an article of tin of all kinds and qualities,
and of all the various deyices under the
sun. 81 e.
2. and the pile Of tin did grow and
wax exceedingly great. and the show
thereof was beautiful to behold, amount
ing in all to about fifty dollars.
8. And as the night wore away, music
and the sounds Of mirth ceased, and
there was a great calm; and the multi
tude were all fed and there was much to
spare.
9. And 10, they departed n after
another, and soon they were all gone
and nought remained but the fragments.
10. And we know all this to be true,
for our eyes did see all these things
which came to pass on the 18th Of the
month in the year Of our Lord, 1872.

That "Christmas Tree.D

BURG HILL, Jan. Is, 1872.
Mr.. EDIToR:-That christmas Tree"
to a great extent, is just a novel way of
advertising that which a person is in
DUTY bound and has furnished for him
self and family. The custom originated
for the purpose of rewarding those at
tending and good behavior during Sab
bath School. In this respect The plan
wss acknowledgements lessons
being taught from the scriptures, and
the promotion of a social feeling, il
which teacher and pupil, alike, were
benefited by its r~eciprocstion. But
Eere are presents from cities remote and
towns near at hand varying in price
from five cents to one hundred dollars,
both purchased and received by persons
who have not attended Sabbath School
during the year. This class of persons
having purchased necessary articles, sus-
pended them upon the evergreen tree,
and when the roll was called marched
up and took them of again. How would
it look for me to haul six barrels of flour,
forty bushels of potatoes and all the ct
edterds that are required to sustain life,
up to the church, and when my name Is
sounded pitch in and haui them away
again? Better leave them at home and
save a vast deal Of handling. How often
has your wife said, 81 wish had a sew-
ing machine" Tor some OF the appliances
necessary in housekeeping, or some
wrapping to complete the wardrobe,)
'but our circumstances will not allow"
Now on, Christmas morning she discov-
ers upon the family christmas tree
those very articles she most needed, but
least expected. Now, indeed, is the
pleasant surprise; and it is the circum-
stances which merited the gift, which
pat the intrinsic value upon it. Now
erect the family christmas tree'' at
home, and il it is a race for form, don't
make such an ado about a sugar baby,
flor they are not half so sweet as q meat
baby,l nor a ten cent calico dress, but go
to Messrs. NJ. & v, and get the best silk
pattern on the shelves, or to Messrs.
Vautrot & Ackley and get the genuine
silver set; do something to win, but be
II and raise the Sabbath School Christ
mas tree in the church.
