The recent absurd story that Washington
was born in England has led to some interest
ing "reminiscences respecting ihe collateral
branches of his family William Fl. Maxwell,
of New York. has written aletter on the sub
ject from which We make the following ex-
tract:
am inclined to believe that the father Of
Gen. George Washington had brother OF
cousin who emigra:ed to Holland nbou, the
year 1880. This brother had son who be-
came General in the Bavafian army, and has
sons now living at Augsburg The Mr. Field
referred 10 may have mistaken our Washing.
ton for General Washington of Bavaria, and
in this way the error referred to may have
been originated.
In confirmation of my views on this subject
will mention that when in Bavaria last Aug,
| was introduced to an officer of the Bavariau
cavalry. having the title of Baron Washington
Surprised Mt meeting an officer bearing that
honored name, solicited and obtained from
the Baron, in explanation, the following infor.
nation: He said his grandfather. he believ-
I ed, was brother of the father Of Gen. George
Washington; that the two brothers agreed te
Eemigrate to America prior to 1880; that one
of the brothers went directly to America
that his grandfather went to Holland, intend
ing to go in a vessel from Amsterdam 10 A.
meEiea, but, for some cause unexplained, he
changed his plan and settled in holland thai
the son of this brother was an officer in
the Dutch army; that about the 1896 he at.
tracted the attention of Maxamiiian, the king
of Bavaria; that he entered into bis service
was in most of the great battles in Germany
became Major General and Baron, and died
few years since at Munich The Baron fur.
ther stated that Gen. George Washington had
writtento his father, acknowledging the rela
tionship, and that said letters were in the pos.
session Of bis brother at Munich.

From the Cincinnati Gazette.

Mcssrs Editors:-The recent elections in
| the counties along the line of Fremont and To-
ledo Railroad, have resulted in favor of the
proposed subscription Of stock to this Road
thus swelling the amount subscribed on this
line to more than 100000, and thereby sec
uring its early completion, This result must
greatly prejudice, if no destroy the prospects
Of the rival line passing west from Cleveland
Immediately on the south shore of Lake Erie
through Sandusky city.
The completion of this line through Bellvue
and Norwalk, to Cleveland, will give our citi-
zens, at equal cost a choice of routs from Gin
cinnati to Cleveland, both of which will be
traversed in about the same time. The dis
lance te Cleveland by the Great Miami and
Mad River Roads, via Bellvue and Norwalk
is only twelve miles farther, than by the Little
Miami and Columbus lines, and this distance
is more than equalized in running time BY
the superior location grades and curves of the
Great Miami, as compared with the Little
Miami Road. By running their road direct
from Tif6n to Morwalk, the Mad River Com
pany will have route to Cleveland only FIVE
miles longer than Columbus line, and it could
beyond doubt, be run in much less time,
If the friends of the Mad River road will
look we'll to this matter, and not allow their
feelings for Sandusky City to influence their
judgements, they will at once build the road
from Tifin 10 Norwalk and Cleveland, and
thereby secure a large share of the through bu-
sness This through the thriving towns OF
Elyria, Norwalk, Tiffin Kenton, Beefontaine
Urbana, Springfield, Dayton and Hamilton
all county seats and towns of large popula-
tion-and through the Great Miami Valley,
the garden of Ohio, would attract many more
passengers than the Columbus line, passing,
as il does. nearly its whole distance through
unimproved country. Let this be done, and
let the The Mad river Company extent their
road from Tifin to Fremont, and thus con-
meet with Toledo and all Northwestern Ohio
Michigan, Northern Indiana and Illinois, and
thereby secure 10 themselves the Northwes-
tern trade and travel,and the Mad River Rail-
road will be one OF the best paying Roads in
the West CINCINNATI.

The following says the Express, is the
outside cost of some of the garments of our
wives, sisters and mothers. Happily, they
are paid for in part, at least by the smiles and
charms which are made to set off such costly
apparel. We will not now add the costly wines
imported BY the lords and masters of crea-
tion and which are so much more profitable
than even silks and laces'

Eg The following article, from the Toledo
Republican, will give our readers some idea
what Rail Roads, Plank Roads. DC. nre doing
for Toledo. We are pleased to hear of her
prosperity:
Rapid Increase Of Population in Toledo.
BY census returns taken las. November by
Charles A. Lamb. Esq, Deputy Marshal. the
population of our city, enumerated 1919.
We are indebted to Charles l. Scott, Esq,
City assessor. for an enumeration made by him
and under his direction, on The 5th of March,
showing population of 4l77-increase in
four months 358. Should this ratio
of increase ofpopulation continue through the
year, it will give to Toledo an increase of over
25 per cent. per annum.
Considering the numerous and extensive
improvements, which are now going on in all
parts of our eity-the rapid extension of our
extensive railway lines east and west-the
rapid extension Of the Wabash and Erie canal
and our plank roads-we think the population
of Toledo, within the year will somewhat exceed
5000 souls There are abundant indications
that Toledo is rapidly improving.

Removals from ONCE.

A week or two since We announced that Sc
veral removals had been made on the Western
Reserve and Maumee Road. Since that time
we have learned that clean sweep has been
made, and that there is not Wing left on
the whole line of the road.
We do not complain at these removals, be-
cause we knew they would be made as soon
as arrangements could be made to that effect
We knew that the spoils Of Office, however
small they might be, was too much of tenn
tatioa to patriotic locofocos not to appropriate
them TO their ownuse. But to show our rea-
ders how these men, Clothed with little
brief authority love the unfortunate and poor,
how they sympathize with the widow and or
phan, we shall briefly notice the character of
some of the removals and appointments.
We have been informed that the Wing in
cumbent at Bellvue, was placed in his position
on account of an unfortunate loss of an arm.
His successor is a stout, able bodied man, and
is in comfortable circumstances.
Mr.. Mecker, at the east end of the corpora
ton. is rather an aged man. has large family
depending upon him, and is not in comforta-
BILE circumstances. His successor, however,
is worthy man, which partly does away the
disgrace of the removal.
Mr.. Rice, who had the gate at the west end
oftown. has held his post for number of
years, and his removal is regretted by the hon
est portion of all parties. He was a gentle
manly and attentive officer. But "strict hon
esty and good conduct" is no object with To-
cofocos. where there is "crumb of comfort"
TO be dispensed to a hungry Office seeker of
their party.
The following article will show the
character of removals on the west end Of
the road:
