COMMUNICATIONS

Among the many topics that are now
exciting the public, perhaps, none may
claim more attention, than the subject o'
constructing rail road from the Town Of
Zonr, on the Ohio Canal, through Carroll
ton to the mouth of Yellow Creek, on the
Ohio River.
In the winter Of 1884, an act Of incor
poration was grated blythe Legislature
of Ohio, authorizing the construction OF
a rail road from the points as above STA
ted.
Under the provisions Of the act OF IN
corporation, the company was organized
and survey and estimates have been
made by an Engineer Tin whose capaolI
ity the Board Of Directors have entire
confi1ence.) From the report oil the nm
gineer, the estimates are found 10 be
much lower than that orany other roaC
(ol the same magnitude and Importance,
constructed in the United States.
To those who are not acquainted w!'n

a FUNERAL AT SEA.

Death is a fearful thing, come in
wha, form it may; fearful, when the
vital cords are so gradually relaxed
that life passes away softly as music
from the slumbering harp string
fearful when in his own quiet cham
ber, the departing one is surrounded
by those who sweerly follow him with
their prayers, when the aSsiduilies Of
friendship and affection can 60 no fur
ther, and who discourse of heaven and
future bIessedness ill the closing ear
can no longer catch The tones Of the
long familiar voice; and who, lingar
ing near still feel for The hushea pulse
and trace in the placid sIumber which
pervndes each feature a quiet emblem
Of the spirits serene repose. What

GEN. WILLIAM EAToN Among
The bills ordered 10 be engrossed for a
third readlng 10 the Senate few days
ago, was bill for the benel Of the

and almost romantic services on the
Barbary coast, by paying him accor.
