A NEW ROAD leading from a cross
route from the turnpike to the Norris
town road, has been petitiOned for, and
a view granted. This road will leave
the cross road near where Mr.. David
Hays resides, and will intersect the
Morristown road east of Mr.. Calvin
Pollocks.
WE learn that another class has been
formed, and that Mrs. Maggie Hays has
agreed to give another series of lessons
in oil painting. Some Of the members
Of this class were her former pupils.
COMMUNION at Crabapple Church on
Sabbath last, Rev. Chalfant assisting the
pastor Rev. T. J. Milford. Mr.. {. preach
ed to large congregation at the Church
in this town on the evening of The same
day.
Mr.. ROBT. HUMPHREY has made ar
rangements to tear down his brick
dwelling house and erect new one.
The house looks well, but is considered
unsafe.
As REGARDS the temperature of the
atmosphere on Saturday, different re-
ports were obtained-Sume stating that
the mercury indicated 90o, others so
We are willing to compromise at S5 ..
THE new town spoken of in our last
communication, has been named Oak
dale, and Postoffice of same name has
been petitioned for. and as the town is
named, the Postmaster General will not
hesitate to locate Postoffice of similar
name.
OWING to our illegible style of wri-
ting, we presume, the types rather 'got
the better of us" in last weeks issue.
Prof. Henkle's long word came out with
the antecedent "hOrrOr" instead of Hon
or-then followed "SOrial" instead of So
cial status-and last, but Oh.!i not least,
by any means, we were made to call our
friend fool, by the types indicating the
18th chap of Prov. 18th and 10Th, instead
of the thirtieth chap. 18th and 18th verses,
as we iCrOte it. When we read that we
went out and gnaweda Il file" Please ac-
cept as corrected.
WHENEVER any one marrleS lUeH OF
does better, Dart" of SomertOn, and 'D,"
of Colerain, having ua6Ounded faith in
the editor of "SOlOmon's Corner" ask
hlm to beat that" or "let us hear from
Solomon's Corner" sc. &c. The editor
of SOlomon's Corner has had only limit
ed experience in matrimonial affairs, be-
ing single-bleSsed man, and of bash
full habit, but where he is remiSS in Cne
duty, he is proficient in others, and can
beat any man i'll Colerain township
gnawing corn from the cob in roasting
ear time.
THE new road Steam Traction Engine,
invented by Mr.. VIM. NJ. kilgOre, of this
place, has been thoroughly tested, and
has proved IL success. If the trade and
travel to this town would justify, Mr..
Kilgore could construct Il small engine
to run between UniontOwn and Bruce
Station. With one freight and one pas
senger car attached, the Road Locomo-
tive would prove novelty and a conve-
nience to those interested.
Mr.. Jos. RAMAGE has on hand and
for the retail trade, a stock of Groceries
and Notions, and being on the line of
the T. V. Railroad, saves cost of carriage,
as the goods can be delivered at his store
door. This is saving to the consumer,
rs Mr. r. reduces prices as expenses are
leSSened.
No QUESTIONS for .Solomon's Corner
this week, and as the space is vacant,
and as most editors have set the exam
pie, and as poetical speech is recorded
in the Congressional Globe, l trust the
readers of the CHRONICLE will pardon
us for dropping into poetry" and as we
have regard for the Great Defrauded
S. J. T., to him this spring 'pome' is re-
spectfully dedicated:
Now doth the busy little pig
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey day by day
From every opening flower
And when the cares of day are DER,
Within his peaceful sty,
He sings his pretty evening hymn
loot little pig or die"
After the Cincinnati Convention the
following can be sung as an oxdology:
"This little pig went to market,
This one stayed at home," &c, &c.
