50Q. strong, arrived about | | O'clock, escort

for the purpose, and preceded BY the Somer-
set brass band. This delegation as we'll as

dresses were all good--in lact,excellent, and

I emblage that heard them. The facts, statis-
tics and arguments, used seemed to surprise
. many who had given railroad matters but
slight attention and we noticed numerous
winks and gratulatory mods among the firm
4 ing portion Of the meeting when some of the
speakers called their attention TO the price
of hay III Portsmouth and that Of wheat in
Sandnsky and de monstrated to them the great
advantages they would derive from rail
road communication with those cities, seae
Everything passed off in a satisfactory
manner, and we doubt not allSreturned to
their homes fully impressed with the impor-
tance OF, a railroad and strong in the belief
thut the Scicto & Hooking Valley road is the
one for them to assist in making. ~, ~,
a. The amount Of stock which The President
and Directors Of The s. & H. ". Road ask Of
!, the three counties Of Vinton, Hooking and
Perry,is 100000. OF this sum, Perry is
assigned $r500oO; Hooking 100000 and
Vinton $50 900. We have no doubt that
thefequisite amountwillfberuised and that
the road will be immediately located aud plf
under contract. Such are the indications at
present, e Yinton seems to falter little, but
proper effort by the lriends.of the road will
not fail TO secure the small sum required of
that county. Upon the whole, our friends
have great reason 10 feel encouraged, and we
!. congratulate the Stockholders Of our road and
the citizens along the line generally upon
Il the bright prospects now before them.
! In order to show more fully the feeling
upon the subject, we may state that on re-
turning from Logan, Messrs. Damarin and
MNey,. Directors Of our road, stopped at
4 New Plymouth, place Of some dozen or IF
teen houses, where they obtained $1,000 in
stock within aboutten minutes. One, OF the
!! ciiizers had been to the barbacue, had caught
| the spirit and infused it into the Nhole pop
, ulatlon. At Logan, we learned that several
/ ladies intended 20 take stock in the road. -
The Perry county boys say they are bound IA
! have the road, and feeling prevails among
| them which must bear down all opposition
and overcome eyeryaobstaeles We publish
