third year will expire in two weeks. We
have another paymentto make upon the
Press; also large paper bill to discharge
The paper, at least considerable share
oft, was used during the last campaign,
and we have neither received pay for il
nor the labor performed, Remembering
this, we trust our friends will help us out
of our difficulty by discharging their in.
debtedness at least. We think that we
have right to ask this mnch.

commend their attention To the following:

"Why do you ask that singular ques.
ton my SOM"
because you said you had not paid

The RnIIrOad.

It will be seen that the question OF
Corporation subscription to the "Scioto
aud Hooking Valley Railroad" was car
ried on last Monday, by majority oftoHr
hundred and thirty Mine-only go voting
against it, 1t may be proper to state
here that, of these 30. only three or four
are opposed to subscription. The larger
portion of them felt unwilling to vote
$3.50 by the Corporation, should the
county at the next fall election, conclude
to vote 500, ,OO0; while at the same time.
in their opinion, the county would derive
the greater benefit from the road.
AS is, it is an unmistakeable sign of
the spirit ofour citizens. All are willing
to bear portion of the burden, for the
purpose ofgetling an improvement, which
will enrich both town and country.
In addition to the above, there will be
a considerable amount of individual sub
scription, and should The county also vote
favorable to the project next fall, we think
that we can discern with certainty the
commencement and completion of the en-
terprise. 1t will be new era in the his
tory of "Old Fairfield" and the benefits
of the road will be felt and acknowledged
by every one.
We have received pamphlet copy OF
report made by joint committee ap-
pointed by the Directors of the "Sandus,
ky City and Mansfield" and the Lake
Erie and Columbus" Railroad compa
nies, wherein the ADVANCES of the pro-
posed route are fully examined and stated,
showing most conclusively that it will not
only be lasting benefit to the country
through which it passes, but will also pay
a very handsome per centum upon the in.
vestments made in it. We shall have oc-
casion, hereafter, to make frequent use
of this report.
The Road, when completed, will pass
through the rich and productive counties
of Scioto, Pike, Ross, Pickaway, Fair.
field, Licking, Knox, ,Richland Huron and
Erie. 1t is doubtful whether a Road
through better and more fertile section
of the State, could be constructed. Il
will reach from the River, to the Lake
and as consequence will obtain very
heavy proportion ofthe profits arising
from the travelling community. 1t will
also receive large share ofbusiness from
portions of Virginia and Kentucky. Ia
king all these things into consideration
and also the fact that Railroads through
