BURNETTis MILLS, Jan. 18th, 1872.
EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-A few months
ago n of our neighbors lost their only
cow, and they being aged and in reduced
health and circumstances, a subscription
paper was circulated and money to the
mount of $3.50 was raised for the pur-
chase of a COW. The money was given
into the care of a. Banning, Esq, who
generously gave his time In selecting a
COW suitable for them. For this kind
ness of their neighbors and others, they
are truly thankful.
One evening, later in the fall, the
young folks bible class, of Burneti's
Mills, met at the home of their teacher,
Miss Jeanette Spear. and after spending
a pleasant evening, they presented her
with a beautiful silver fruit basket and
a good photograph album. A very sp-
propriate address was made by Mr.. d. F.
Byers upon the occasion. Evidently
this token of their respect was very I'M
expected, but highly appreciated.
Lately the NJ. E. Society has been en-
gagged il raising and repairing their
church. The old fashioned pulpit has
been replaced by a neat and tasteful one;
other improvements might also be no
ticed. The expense of repairing the
church will probably amount to $4,000.
To meet part Of the expense an oyster
was given at Mr.. Orvis Shatta's,
on the evening of the 2Sd of December,
was very highly enjoyed by those
fortunate enough to attend.
On the evening Of the 30th Of Dec. a
donation to the Rev. Mr.. Miller was
given at Mr.. VIII. Lafferty's. A very
pleasant time was enjoyed by those at
tending. Amount donated about $4,000. !
Have I not clearly demonstrated to
you the fact that the people of B~urnett's
Mills "are alive" to good and noble
a p~rotracted meeting was commenced
at the NJ. E. Church last evening, of
you may hear more anon.

Odd Fellows, Ban and Supper.

As previously arranged, the Odd
Fellows held their ball at the Austin
House, on Wednesday evening last. The
members of the Order, with their wives
and daughters, and some with somebody
else's daughters, together with a large
number of invited guests, assembled at
an early hour and soon became engaged
in tripping the light fantastic toe. Mem
bers whose hair had become hoary with
age, feeling it was good to be there,
could not refrain from participating,
when such music as was furnished by
the Germania hand of Cleveland, was
discoursed. The band consisted of six
musicians, the music OF which COM
pletely filled the room. The sleigh-ben
polka, a new feature in the t~erpsichore-
an line, was largely enjoyed by those
best acquainted with the dance. After a
%profusion Of quadrilles and round dan
ces, supper was announced in waiting,
when the company repaired to the sup
per room, there to findthe most sumptu-
Gus eve set in the Austin House. The
caterer for the occasion deserves much
praise for the manner in which his
duties were performed. Supper being
over the dance was again resumed, and
not till the wee hours did old winter
or young spring seem ready to leave
Ihe place. The occasion was in every
way enjoyable, and the Odd Fellows may
justly congratulate themselves upon
having had U Of the pleasantest social
reunions aver held in our city.

BLOOMFIELD, o., Jan. 18th, 1872.
EDITOR CHRONICLE I'm reading the
last numbers of the CHRONICLE 1 see
that almost every town has some report
of the good times during Christmas and
New Years, but nothing from Bloom
field, and I think I have just guessed
the reason. Last fall our Sunday Schools
were allowed quietly to pass away and
il the present generation follows the ex-
ample of their fathers in the spring as
they have during the past fail, the SUM-
day Schools will probably awake with
the same prayers and the same songs,
provided they can find their singing
books that were used twenty-five years
ago. Bloomfield needs a few good Sun
day School men. Inever knew a good
healthy Sunday School to winter kill.
The II. Z. and Congregational church.
.es started a lively mite society a short
time ago, but they have danced 1t out.
As regards business, things are about
as they were, except Howe & Smith are
closing outat auction. We are informed
that our worthy citizen. W. c.. Savage,
is about to embark in the dry goods and
grocery business ih.the building former
ly occupied by S. Ticehurst. We hope
he may be successful. He has certainly
made a bargain in purchasing the prop
erty.
The Good Templars are making great
preparation for an exhibition that is to
come of on Thursday and Friday eve
nings, January 25th and 26th. They
have reftted and reseated their large
and commodious hall with the expecta-
ton Of giving an exhibition that they
will not be ashamed of.
In a former issue Of the CHRONICLE I
see that q Bristol correspondent COM
plains dEesdfully about high taxes for
their town. I thought when I read it
that Bristol must pay all the taxes for
this county. But by making inquiry I
find that there are men in this town who
pay taxes and don't complain either.

EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-I would like tC
inform the readers Of your paper Rt thi:
late hour that We had a Sunday-school
Christmas tree, which was held in the
Evangelical Church, at Pleasant Hill,
on Christmas eve. At the appointed
time we could see numerous teams
winding their way from the north,
south, east and west, all Of them SEEM
ing to center at the church. At an early
hour the house was crowded to over
flowing.
Everything being in readiness, the
curtain was drawn, and behold! what a
scene was presented to our vie6. There
standing in all its majestic grandeur was
the stately evergreen loaded with rich
gifts for the children. After a piece of
music, prayer was then offered by Rev.
Summers, after which another piece
vas sung. Imnst not forget to tell you
that Rev. Summers kindly furnished US
with an organ. To accompany the organ
we had the pleasure of having Miss Ada
Wennermaker, of Warren. The distri-
button of the presents now commenced.
How many cheerful faces met our view;
everyone seemed to put on a smiling
countenance. Although We cannot
eclipse our brother Methodists in the
aggregate ofthe trees, yet we can eclipse
them in u present to our worthy
pastor. a purse was gotten up for our
minister, which amounted to the snug
little sum Of S24,OO (, besides several other
presents which were given to him and
his family. After the distribution Of
the presents, a few remarks were made
by Samuel Craig, Jr., after which Rev.
Summers made a few remarks. We
then separated, all feeling very thankful
for what they had received. The tree
amounted to the nice little sun OF 1868.
As il was our first attempt in this line,
everyone thought it was a good success.
Our correspondent from Southington
made mention of a series OF meetings
that were being held at Pleasant Hill,
and that they were attended with some
interest. They are still in progress, and
have been the means of doing a great
deal of good in our community. For
about two weeks every thing appeared
to work against the meeting, the mem
bers became discouraged, and as We
were on the point of closing the meeting,
the ice broke, if you will allow the
expression, and many found their way
to the altar, and professed to have found
peace in Him who taketh away the sins
of the world. At the present time 4s
have found their way to the altar. Many
thanks are due to our Methodist brethren
for the kindness they manifested in
laboring with US. In thinking Of the
many blessings that God has bestowed
upon US, we are led to exclaim in the
words of the Psslmist, How great and
marvellous are Thy works, o Lord God
Almighty"
On Friday, January Il, the members
and friends OF the Evangelical Associa-
ton met at the church in Pleasant Hill,
and kindly donated our pastor, Rev.
Fl. B. Summers, money and other
articles which amounted to $4,000.

Yho HAS the Jail Bond MoneIl
WARREN, O., 10th Jam, 1872.

", lOLu Jdu-y lol--
Mr.. EDITOR :-Ifa any person will take
the trouble to examine ths records, they
will discover that a large amount OF
county bonds have been sold for the pur-
pose of raising money 10 pay for the new
Jail, now in process of construction, and,
that now, there is about ten thousand dol
lars of that money that has never found
its way to the county Treasury,-the
only depository known to our laws for
such funds.
Now the question arises, "where is
the money ?" The tax payers of the
county are paying eight per cent. semi
annually, for this money, and will soon
be taxed to pay the principal, and con-
s%equently have a right to enquire, who
is using it? Is any person specializing
with it? Ifso, by what authority? Sup
pose the persons using this money should
fail in business, as persons have failed
before, what guarantee has the people
that one cent oft will aver find its way
to the Treasury, where it legitimately
belongs the moment the bonds are sold?
Is there any necessity for selling bonds
six months or a year before the money
is needed, thus making the people pay
unnecessary interest, and giving an OPP
p~ortunity for those who nave an Etching
palm" to handle the money?
Is there any probability that some
persons in imitation Of Tweed & Co., are
trying to start a little Tammany here,
commencing with the jail, just where the
great Tsmmany ended?
Have We no law to prevent individu-
ais using. for private speculation, the
public funds?
Ifnot, would it not be well to ask our
Legislators-who seem to have an eye to
the financial interests OF the county,-to
use their influence to have one passed,
right soon, making it a penal offence for
any person to use public money for pri-
vate purposes?
If things have TO run in this loose way,
we can sec the propriety of the bill intro
duced by our Senator in the State Legis-
lature, requiring the Treasurer to han
die, and be responsible for the proper
application ofthe money, without fee or
reward.
For, if he county pays interest on the
money six months Oh a year before it is
needed afterthat to pay the Treasurer his
fee would swell the percentage TO that
Of most modern Shylocks besides, why
should the Treasurer have pay when
somebody else takes care of the money
for him, he having no trouble with it,
perhaps neve even counting the green
backs.
1t would seem that if any person re-
ceived fees, it should be those having
the trouble with the money. 1 would
suggest this as an appropriate amend
ment to said bill.
Notwithstanding all that may be said
on the subject, the people are interested
in knowing where the money is, and
would be very, thankful if some one
would rise to explain"
Yours, &c. TAX PAYER.

of friends and relatives, who manifested
their respect and esteem by several
choice articles of silver ware. A sump-
tuous table was prepared, from which
all partook with grateful feelings. After
which the company participated in a

passed by all. After some appropriate
remarks were made by the Rev. David
