We acknowledge the receipt of a com
munication from much respected Say
brook friend touching the silver question
and the payment of public and private
debts, and its relation to the vital point,
whether equally with gold it shall be rein
vested with the attribute of universal ten
der. We are net quite sure whether, ad-
dressed as it is, to our individual self, with
all the forms Of private epistle, 1t was in
tended for publication, and we have not,
therefore, seen fit to use in that way. We
have not all the information asked for
within present reach, but refer the writer
to the article of the Presidents message on
the subject, as embodying the fairsst rea-
soning on the subject of anything now in
mind. If, however, the writer has read
this as we suppose to be probable, we will,
as we have opportunity for gathering the
information called for, refer to the sub
ject more freely. In the mean time some
such articles as may be found in our col
umns this week may perhaps show some Of
the effects of what is apprehendsd by the
course Of Congress on the subject.
The git and justice of the matter at is
sue with our friend is-as we understand
ito this effecl-that the Government
bonds, are in general way expressly re-
quired to be paid in coin, without desig-
mating as to metal. 1t is therefore but
right thst every such contract should be
paid in coin of the standard weight and
fneness, established by the laws of the U.
S. at the time such obligation or contract
was made orimplied.

ORWELL.

A little three column folio called the
Welcome, of fortnightly appearance, was
merged into this cold world a week or two
ago at Orwell-A. R. Woolsey and C. R.
Stone as midwives and sponsors. 1t is
sprightly, rolicy and original, and cannot
but contribute to the pleasure and improve
ment Of the 'fireside. With the managing
editor, we are not acquainted, but the as
sistant we know to be ready thinker and
writer and permeatsd with fun and good
humor. We select from it as follows:
Mr.. Zera Parker, in testing Cooley's Pat
ent Can, placed "a lbs. of milk in . can
81 inches in diameter and 19 inches deep;
standing 13 hours there was 35s inches of
cream, making, when churned 2 lbs of
butter.
Rsv,H. D. King and family have re-
moved to GustaYGs. We are sorry to
spare those whose society is the means of so
much good, but Mr. Kings health will'not
permit him to continue in the ministry.
A family reunion took place on the 25th of
December, 1877, at the residence Of Mrs.
Elinor Bugby and Mrs. Zilphs Parker.
There were present the five Parker broth
ers with their wives. Mr.. and Mrs. Buggy,
Mrs. Fl. Bugby, Mr.. aud Mrs. Zers Cook,
together with the children of the several
families. Number Of persons present 49.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cook were able to leave
their home, some three miles distant, to
meet with their children, grandchildren
and grest-grandchildren. The term Of
their married life has been So years. They
have % grandchildren and u great-grsnd-
children. Mr.. Cook says he had the pleas
ure of riding on the first steamboat that
sailed on the lake. He was great hunter;
having killed as many as SO deer In one
season.
The meeting was much enjoyed by all
present, and adjourned to meet at Orin
Parker's one year from date.

Eds. Tel:-The change of weather,
with increasing cold, changes the temper
of the poor, who were getting along with
tolerable comfort while the mild weather
continued. Destitute and without en-
ploymsnt, and falling temperature is a
hard combination, but many are realizing
it in this city.
A novel way of making living has come
to light, in one case at least. 1t is by
contracting to feed the numerous cats
about the commission houses and stores
q needful protection against the hordOs of
rats that infest these establishments. A
young man who has embarked in this un-
heard of industry makes $50 calls daily
with his provision basket.
Poultry and game have ranged low dur
ing the season. Sometimes, as has been
especially the case this season, it has
come through in bad condition, and has
been sold at fearfully low prices. Tons
have thus been disposed of. The improve
ment in the weather, however, has i'm
proved prices which are now satisfactory.
So Beechsr has been lecturing in Ashta-
bula with good house. There is hardly
any one but that has a curiosity to see
and hear him, whatever the view taken of
his innocence or guilt of the charges laid
at his door. HIG.

about forty years of age. One eye tooth

having been extracted during life. A
