ED. Observation-Disclosures Festivals
haye engaged the attention ofour church
going citizens the past week. The Meth
odist society had a crowded house Tues
day evening, and many fine presents
were made, to the evident satisfaction OF
all concerned.
Wednesday evening the Congrega-
tionalists at The Center, and the Christian
Church at the north part of the town
ship, held their festivals. The writer
was not present at the entertainment at
North Bristol, but understands that they
had a good time-a boat load of gifts be-
ing distributed. The Congregationalists
also had a full house, and a variety of
valuable presents were made. Rev. Mr..
Jones was the gratifed recipient of a fine
saddle and bride. The superintendent
of the Sunday School, Mr.. Corey, was
presented with a Commentary, Is trib-
of aespect for his labOur and faithful
performance of his duties.
The exercises were interesting, and
will be remembered by some with graf
itude, as the Injunction to remember
the poor" was not forgotten-Uncle
Jimmy Thorp, an industrious old resi-
dent, received a fine large turkey for the
supply of the ''inner man" much to his
surprise and qualification.
Our winter schools are going off finely.
Several of the teachers are from Oberlin.
Railroad matters are progressing about
as usual. Whatever may be done at
North Bristol, the Centerfolks haYe not
given up the idea of having a depot and
telegraph station at the crossing east of
the Center.
The extreme cold weather causes the
fodder and hay to disappear at a fearful
rate.

PLEASANT HILL.

DEAR CHRONICLE. We wish you
usefulness your visits to this part of
the world are very welcome, bringing
to US useful intelligence from different
parts of the county, apprising us of the
doings of both Church and State. How
pleasant it is to sit down these long and
very cold winter evenings and converse
with a friend from which we may receive
important information.
The church dedication, referred TO in
a former letter, passed ofvery pleasant
". The amount necessary to cover the
Indebtedness (which was eight hundred
dollars was secured on the day Of dedi-
cation. Tue lot and church cost nearly
three thousand dollars. The Sunday
School is again in good working order,
and was, by the unanimous voice of the
school, placed under the management of
Mr.. C. h. Barkley, who is an efficient
Sunday School worker.
The Evangelical congregation at this
place, under the pastoral care of Rev. J.
Garner, have bright prospects for the fu-
ture; and although much has been ac-
complished in this community through
the influence of religion there is still
room for improvement. May He who
hath promised to be with and prosper
His people, grant them an abundant har-
vest of souls.
By the way, 1 notice a clipping in your
last issue from the Aahoning Vindicdtor,
undea the caption of Preachers Sitting
in Judgment" in which the members
ofthe Ministerial Conventionare assailed.
1 know not what they think, of it, but I
suppose they feel much as the boy did
when he was kicked by a member of the
long-eared fraternity, they consider from
whence it comes Had the article come
from any other source it might have
merited criticism. But coming from the
Insignificant source it did, it does not
sven merit the reply recommended
in Prov. XVI, IS. This is not the first
article that the VTndic1tor has published
that was aimed at the christian religion
and the character of the ministry.

Of the railroad company, if it should
issue bonds, and under this arrangement
the company took temporary possession.
In due time the 500, 900 was paid, and
bonds of the railroad company rendered
for the balance, which plaintiffs refused
to accept, because they distinctly provid-
ed that the stockholders of the road
should not be individually liable for
their payment. His Honor held that
such bonds were not in compliance with
the contract while the contract did not
in terms provide that the bonds should
bind the stockholders individually, yet
the makers undoubtedly contemplated
that the bonds should be such as the
Constitution and laws of Ohio provide
for, the bonds being, in the opinion of
the Court, "dues,' within the meaning
of Section 8 of Article XIII. Of the Con-
stitution which reads as follows: Dues
from corporations shall be secured by
such individual liability of the stock
holders, and other means, as may be pre-
seribed by law; but, in sll cases, each
stakeholder shall be liable, over and
above the stock by him or her owned,
and any amount unpaid thereon, to a
further sum, at least equal in amoun to
such stock" Motion refused. Leave

ED. CHRoNIcLE:-Christmas eve was
a time of general rejoicing among the S.
S. scholars o fNiles, as there were Christ
mas tree entertainments given for the
benefit of the Sunday School children at
the Disciple, Presbyterian and Methodist
churches. There seemed to be no strife
to see which could Guido the other in
getting up q grand tree and making a
fine display; but so far as we could learn,
each school undertook to procure pres
ents which were of utility, and to so con-
duct the exercises as to make the occa-
sion one Of profit as well as pleasure to
all concerned. We were present at the
Disciple church, and can therefore speak
more particularly with reference to their
exercises. They have a school number
ing over one hundred scholars. A gen.
eral fund was raised with which to pur-
chase presents, and was so managed that
but few scholars received a gift valued
at less than one dollar. The tree was
beautiful, audience large, children Or
Derby, exercises well arranged, singing
good, and Santa Claus a perfect success.

VIENNA.

Ed. CHRoNICLE.-A few weeks ago
there appeared in the columns of your
paper a problem for those who saw ft to
attempt its solution. It was concerning
the age and weight of the celebrated calf
Wallace. The problem was thoroughly
practical and well worthy a place in your
local columns, although it is probable
that few failed to solve it without diff
Guilty. But the events of this eventful
winter furnish another problem which
puzzles me in the extreme, but may be
correspondingly simple TO others.
In the adjoining township of Fowler
q grandfather and grandson married sis
tiers. By the marriage il is plain that the
grandfather and grandson became BROTH
ers-in-law; that the grandson's wife is
her sisters granddaughter, and that the
grandfather's wife is her sisters grand
mother. The grandfather's graaddaugh-
ter is his sister-in-law, and the grand
sons grandmother is his s~ister-in-law
also the granddaughter's grandfather
is her brOther-in-law, and the grand
mothers grandson her brother-in-law.
Now what 1 require is, that those who
are familiar with the ties of consanguin-
ity will figure this all up and tell me
what relation their children will be.

Court Proceedings.

On Thursday, 18th ult., Court met pur-
suant to adjournment, and proceeded
with unfinished business.
The case of Commissioners of Trum-
bull County VS.. Ashtabula, Youngstown
and Pittsburgh Railroad Company, was
decided in favor of defendants. That is
the Court held that there is no legal ca
pacity in the Commissioners to restrain
the railroad company from diverting and
obstructing a public road. The Court
did not so announce, but it is presumed
that the power alluded to is lodged with
the trustees of the various townships.
Francis Plantin VS.. George Atkinson,
error, raised the question whether, when
a party is sued in a township other than
that in which he resides, but within the
county of his residence, and appears and
pleads to the merits of the controversy,
he can afterward set the Judgment aside
on ground of want of Jurisdiction on the
part of the Justice. Held, that the vol
untary appearance and Plea Of defendant
is a waiver on his part Of the question of
jurisdiction, and that it cannot sfterward
be set up.
Motion for new trial in case of David.
Mcconnell VS.. admir- of VIM. Lee Bron-
son, in which jury had rendered verdict
of $3.50, was argued and decided. Court
found that the verdict was excessive, far
beyond what the proof warranted, and
that it should be cut down TO 500, or set
aside. Plaintiff preferred the former,
and it was done.
Decision was rendered in the case of
A. c. Mcconnell & Co. VS.. James Chris
ty, previously tried to the Court. Plain
tiffs, who live in Cleveland, sued for the
value of a buggy claimed to have been
sold to defendant through his son, and
the principal question was as to the
agency of the son. Court found from
the proof that fact of agency was not es-
tablished, and rendered judgment for
defendant. Ensign for plaintiff Ratlih
& Moses for defendant.
The business not being concluded, ad.
jOurnment was had to Saturday, 18th ult.
On that day further proof and argum emit
we're heard in the case of Sarah Jane
Dunlap VS.. Jonathan F. Dunlap, and d.
Vorce granted with alimony, consisting
Of household goods, and custody ofchild.
Judge futile for plaintiff; Ensign and
Palm for defendant.
An able opinion was pronounced by
Judge Glidden in the case Of Struthers
ct al. VS.. A. Y. & P. Railroad Company
ct al, reserved from Mahoning County,
and heard on the 18th. The case came
up upon a motion to dissolve an iniunc-
ton granted by the Probate Court of
Mahoning County, preventing the rail.
road company from using that portion of
its road lying between Girard and
Youngstown. 1t appeared that the road
in question was bought by the railroad
company, or its officers, of the plaintiffs
for $500 600; 4 half OF the purchase
money to be paid in cash, or acceptable

Akron Beacon, and son of Rev. DR.. Day.
OF this city, paid our sanctum a visit last
week. He was in the city spending
Christmas with his friends. Mr.. Day
represents one of the best papers, and
one of the most complete printing offices,
in the State.
Trains were to have commenced
running on the A. Y, & P. R. R. between
Warren aud Pittsburgh, on last Monday,
but in consequence of ar injunction re-
straining the Co. from using the leased
portion Of the line from Youngstown to
Girard, the opening of the road is post
poped until the question at issue shall
have been settled.

that can do better.
Liberty township, in this county,
has lately had an addition to its popula-
ton /; q number of French, and their
families, in all about two hundred, have
settled in different parts of the township.
They came to this country from the east
ern part of France, in the neighborhood
of Belfort. Their business is coal min
ing. As a class of people they are very
orderly, and attend to their own business
in a very proper manner.
The fifth annual ball of the L. n.
Dawson fire company, came of at the
House, on Christmas night. The
dancing hall was tastefully decorated
with pictures and flags, giving it a pleas
ing and handsome appearance. The &C.
casion was highly gratifying to the large
a~ssemblsge Of the " fair" and "brave,"
and creditable to the managers /; every
body feeling at the close of the dance
they had passed a pleasant evening.

loaded to overlooking with fruit (pres'
ents) and several lines had 10 be stretch
ed to receive the heavier articles that
could not be put upon the tree. The to-
tai estimated value of the presents was
one thousand dollars, embracing nearly
everything from a penny toy to two val
liable watches and chains. Soon after
the committee commenced distributing
the presents, the conductor of the even
ing called the attention of the children
and asked ifthey had heard about Santa
Claus. OF course they had heard about
him. Then he asked them. if they had
seen him, n how he looked, &c. Would
you like 10 see him? As many as would
raise your hands. Every hand came up.

him. The jingle of sleigh bells was
heard, and in he came, dressed in a style
that created considerable merriment,
and he passed up and down the aisles,
distributing candies, nuts, &c, to the in
finite satisfaction of the children. We
