Editors OF the Register.
l have long been reader of your
valuable paper, and as l have never seen
ANYTHING in its columns from this vicin-
lty, conclude q few lines from here might
be acceptable. Owing to this uncom-
monty open winter, the farmers are re-
joicing In their prospect and looking for
ward to full harvest. Wheat, rye, &c,
promise fair crop; the soil is fertile and
we'll watered. This vicinity is thickly
settled and the inhabitants in
dustrious farmers, though in their
esgerness to till the soil, they forget
not the important work of life to cult
vate their minds and hearts. There are
several churches represented here, the
Catholic, Baptist, South Methodist and
Methodist and Methodist Episcopal, all
of which, am glad to say, believe they
are worshipping the true and living
God Then we are trying to keep pace
with the progressing period in education.
This district has large school, and we
were successful in procuring good
teacher. Miss Mary K. Newman taught
for us this winter, whose school
has Just closed. Miss Mary
is an earnest worker in the
school room, and the closing exercise of
the school proved her an efficient teacher
Her school was examined and gave an
entertainment that was very interesting.
After the exercise was performed Miss
n. presented each of her pupils with a
beautiful chrome, proclaiming silently
exquisite taste in selection, then Miss
Newman bid her pupils and friends a
kind adieu in neat and eloquent adj
dress. She has our hearty thanks for
earnest efforts in behalf of promoting
our children in education, and we hope
to procure the same teacher next year, or
one OF the same ability.

last February, the coal operators of the
Tuscarawas Valley reduced the price for
