died in that institution on the 25th ult., in

T, The time has now come for settling the
s9nes ton as to what newspapers we will
take the coming year. The world is full of
papers-good, bad and indifferent. There
are many families in every town in this
county, that never take paper, yet some
Of them smoke ten or fifteen cents worth of
cigars 3 day, or pay out twice that amount
for Wafered whiskey,. bur feel too poor to
pay four cents a week for a newspaper.
They do not stop to think that it costs less
to educate, than to prosecute crime. We
say to such-Take paper! Your children
win resd it, and learn to await its coming
with deep interest. The attractions Of
home will be enhanced, and you'll be rich
er at the end of the year. If you can take
but one, let it be your home paper. In this
county We have several that are ably con-
dueted, ty men of well defined principles
-of moral character and worth. Among
these We name the Sentinel, the Times and
the Telegraph. We see by poster that
the TELEeRAPH will be furnished in clubs
of ten, to one address, for the year 1878, at

entirely destroyed, with its contents, by
fire on Saturday night last. Mr.: Batchel-

The loss of Mr.. Cook, il is understood
was covered by insurance
Wilcox & Son have been overhauling
their tannery establishment, and among
the changes were large vats, which were
made at the Ashtabuls establishment Of

kind of work was done, and that amount
of money distributed among US.
A serious injury was sustained by Mr..

Butter factories are becoming more pOT'u-
lar and numerous. Leander Reeve is re-
volving the question of starting the third
in the neighborhood of the station. ]. R.
Reeve runs one, putting up his make in the
patent-pound packages-and George Stan
ley, has been running another, packing in
the ordinary way.
A. A. Peck, has SOW shote of the Berk-
shire breed, which for proportion and
beauty of put up, would be hard to beat
One of the peculiarities of this breed, is,
the extremities are all tipped with white,
while every other part is black.
This town seems to be quite mail route
center. The contract for carrying the
mail from Rome to Chardon-some 18
miles-is in the hands of Mr.. Peck. Three
trips a week are made with a compensation
of $72O. Mr.. Kelsey of the Q. S. House.
runs the mail daily between Rome and
Andover, distance of 10 miles.
No country hotel is more invitingly
clean and orderly than the q. S. House.
Denio's handle factory was to be fired up
the present week. The work from this
factory goes to Girard, Pa, and when
made up, finds market even beyond the
continent.
Postmaster Decker, says that the busi-
ness of his Office has nearly doubled during
his administration. In all that goes to

promptness and attention to business,
courtesy and aecommOdation-he is mod

The notice of Preacher Cranes charge in
the TELEGRAPH, was erroneous, inasmuch
as it located one of his places of preaching
at Rome Station. 1t should have been at
Rome center-the new Union meeting
house.
An important addition has been made to
the business of the locality Of the station,
in the establishment of Mr.. E. A. Peck.
recently removed from the premises Of Mr.
Oliver Smith, New Lyme with whom it has
heretofore been driven in partnership. The
machinery is of superior character, and
the work accomplished, is of the best. The
articles manufactured, are Butter Tubs,
well buckets, butter, paint and sap pals,
fence caps, etc. Mr.. P. is evidently clever
mechanic, and his machinery is sufficient
to meet orders promptly and such as to en-
able him to meet competition also, success
fully, in range of prices.

AMBOK.

Eds. TeI.-it was our intention, before
winter set in, TO give your readers a list Of
the trOtting stock in this vicinity. Re
pairing to Kelsey's stables and track, we
found that Little Jake had been disposed
of to landlord Field of your place, and a
three year old Of some promise, was all
the fast stock on hand, with the horse
track, and the bleak winds of November
sweeping over it. This was about as IN
teresting and picturesque as a goose pas
ture. Kelsey says the thing has been a
success with him the past season, finan-
cially, beside the fun enjoyed.
Trotting stock in this vicinity is some
what scarce, compared with what it was
last spring. l notice however, that Rieg,
of the Reporter, keeps his Highland Ma
ry'' but she proves more OF an elephant up
on his hands, than was dreamed of when
he negotiated for her, But Riggs reason
ing was sound, when he said to himself,
'1f Bonner of the Ledger, can own
and drive horses with records, why not l,
of the Reporter, own a nag with pedi-
gree, and by tact and dexterity in hand
ling, make reeord?" But Highland Ma
~, up to this time has no record. The dis
tance between Riggs house and office
lacks SO feet Of half mile. He cannot,
therefore, make record with the aceura-
cy necessary in these matters. Besides she
is getting to be too much for the whole
Reporter corps, So she proved herself
with the old Junior, and had to be put
through course of sprouts by Stiens Of
the Central. This humbled her somewhat,
but she is now being handled by nimble
cadet of the Jefferson Military academy.
This it is thought by horsemen, will bring
her to time; so that record will be forth
coming. The record now looms up over
the pedigree in the mind of the editor.
His feeling is-give me back my Clydes-
dale be he ever so scotchy there is nothing
so faithful and trusty. soJoURNER.
