j Mr.. EDITOR Christmas has come
and gone. and was happily celebrated
by the good people of Rootstown.
The Christmas Tree of the Congre-
gational Church was the source of
much merriment and amusement,
many of the presents being useful as
well as ornamental. For instance /:
Our horse man, Mr.. A. NJ. Spellman,
received a fine cnrry-comb; the Rev.
Mr.. Beach, nice Nantucket pumpkin,
&C., &c. Every thing went merry as
marriage bell.
The Teachers Association met at
this place last Saturday, and consid-
erfng the inclemenay of the weather,
there was a large attendance, and
many went away saying it was good
to be there, notwithstanding some of
our, citizens deemed it highly impro-
per to have the meeting held in the
Church, we only wishedthem present
in orderlto convince them that they
were more righteous than wise. But

best men in the township, and were
wholly unprejudleed. After the jury
returnedthe yerdiotwe were startld
by the intelligence that there was a
ring existing in Rootstown for the

law and justice. and we exclaimed !:

and Tammany Rings; knowing the
awful retribution which so closely fol-

people Of Rootstown to be on their
guard lest they be induced to join
this sring7 and work out their own
ruin. But hoping this unjust sring'
