Hooking Valley Railroad. We trust our
readers will bear in mind the meeting to be j
held in this city, on the 18th inst, to con- =
slider the propriety of taking immediate g
measures TO construct railroad from Colum- B
bus down the Hooking Valley. tits, with !
out doubt, highly important connection !
and will be ofinfnite advantage to the coun- !
try through which it will pass. 1t connects I
at Columbus with the Lakes and opensup
below one of the best mineral regions in the
West. The coal and iron Of the Hooking
Valley, in quality and quantity, is not sur
passed by those ofany other section of Ohio.
These facts should be borne in mind by those
who discuss the question. There is road
proposed down the Scioto Valley from 20
lumbus, but the latter is much more deeply
interested in the proposed one through this
city, Logan and Athens, and will therefore
Join heartily in any efforts to construct it,
At least, we are so informed by those who |
are now engagedin in agitating the question.
We understand the C. w. & u. Railroad
will be located in very short time from this
city to GAINESVILLE, and will be put under
contract Immediately. The directors are
now only awaiting the action ofthe friends
of the respective routes, and will be enabled
to arrive at definite conclusion in a few
days. The work West continues 10 pro-
gress with considerable rapidty. The en-
bankment over the Hooking prairie is COM
pleted, together with the grading OF some
two or three miles of the road Immediately
west of this city.
The GERMAN VoTE.-The Wings of Rich
land county highly appreciate the Jealous et-
forts of large number of our German citi-
zens to promote the election of General
Scott.
They understood that their true interests
were to support that policy which would
build up homes for them in our midst instead
Of degrading labor and bringing it down to
level with tie labor in Europe-the ten cents
a day system advocated by Buchanan
They therefore worked hard and we should
certainly have been defeated in this town
ship but for their support. They are getting
upon the right ground and if the ball rolls
thus in the future as at this election we may
soon expect Richland to become Whg!
, That would be strange, but gentlemen, as
! so! Look out for '56!-MdnSfeid Herald.
