Board Of Public Works and Ran
Road COMPANIES.

The action of the Board Of Public Works
in requiring Railroad Companies to remove
their bridges from over the public works Of
the State. s subject to considerable animAd-
version on the part Of many Of the papers,
and many Of them are unjust in their stric-.
lures. IfRailroad Companies are to be per-
mittedto obstruct the canals Of the State, and
enter into the business Of merchandising for
the purpose of breaking down all cOmpe--
ton IN order that they may m~on3poize the
carrying business, and then charge what
they please therefore, it is time the canals,
were abandoned and filed ID.
The canals are the properly of the peo-
pie of the state. For their construction they
insured a heavy State debt. Upon the.
tolls they receive upon them they rely to pay
the interest Of that debt, and also as a source
Of revenue when the debt is paid of. The
Board of Public Works are the agents they
have selected to manage and take care Of
those canals. Aud when these agents find
rail road companies not only placing obstruc-
tons In them, but going out of their sphere
to tnJure them, and break down men who.
are doing business upon them, it becomes,

around for one, they find no law in existence
authorizing the railroad companies to bridge
the canals, and they, therefore order al
such bridges to be taken down, and refuse
to permit any more to be constructed until
the Legislature, with suitable restrictions,
grants the requisite authority.
Now, the Board had two courses to pur-
sue, one was to permit Railroad companies,
to ruin the canals: the other was to lind o
remedy. They chose the latter, And as.
all will admit that a remedy was highly
necessary, it becomes those who objected
to the one they adopted, to find one less
harsh, and at the same time equally effec
tual.
For our part, we think it entirely out of
the question. that giant railroad comp anies
should be permitted to ride rougshod over
and ruin men engaged in private pursuits,
by engaging in such business as is disclosed
to the Tegort Of the Board of Public Works.

onr Court.

The Spring term of the court OF
common pleas for Harrison county,
commenced on yesterday, the 9th
inst, and is now in session, the Hon.
Thomas l., Jewett presiding.
This is The first term of the court
of common pleas held in this coun-
~ under the auspices ofJudge Jew
EFT. He has presided at one session
of the court in I'uscarawas county,
and from tho eulogy passed upon
him at the close of the session, by
our cotemporary of the T'uscarawas
Adyocate, who had been one OF his
most ungerous traduc ers, we pre-
snme that he gave as general salts
faction to the Public and the Bar
there, as he is now doing here. His
kindness of manner, and good tenn
per, on the Bench, and his prompt
ness in correctly deciding the varI-
Gus legal questions which arise in
the. course of business before him,
appear to give universal satisfaction
to the Bar; while the rapidly and
facility with which he dispatches bu-
siness, will redeem the court in the
minds Of the people, from the long
standing reproach OF useless delay.
In the high character for integrity
and honor MIR. Jewelt always sus-
taiHed while q member of the Bar,
and from his eminent attainments as
a lawyer, the people have the Stron-
gest guarantee that the judicial er-
mine with which they have clothed
him, will be preserved in its original
purity, and that his decisions will be
marked by that wisdom and ability
which has generally characterized
the decisions ofthe higher courts in
our country.
In the proper selection ofthe judi
ges of the courts under ournew con-
stitution, the people have given the
strongest evidence of their capacity
for self-government; and notwith-
standing the wings in many parts Of
the State, choose to sheer at the idea
of the people being.capable of chos-
ing proper persons to be judges of
our courts, and predicted that the.
Judges would DO chosen from among
the politicians without regard to.
their character or qualifications, the.
result has belied their predictions
and rebuked their sneers.
The Democratic party has ever
had an abiding faith and confidence
in the hoaesty and integrity of the
people, and their capacity for self
government, and the results of the
election last Fall, have gwen new
p~rooftflat that faith and confidence
has not been misplaced.

Lady Odd Fellows.

We perceive by the following from the
Anderson Is. C. Advocate, that the ladies
have at last made a dive into the mystery
of Odd Fellowship. Theg were initiated by
Jocasse Lodge, No. 10. The Advocate
syas; @
Eight ladies made their appearance and
were initiated into the mysteries and ~instruc-
ted in precepts Of the degree. They were,
we have been informed, both delighted at
the idea of being metamorphosed into the
daughters of Rebecca, and highly pleased
and edited by the instructions impaired
to them. 1t is tho't by Odd Fellows with
whom we have spoken, that the welfare OF
the order will be promoted by the institu-
ton of this degree-to receive which the
ladies are admitted into the penetralia of the
Lodge room duringthe session of the Lodge,
and thus become in rome degree identified
with them. 1t seems cruel that young un-
married ladies should be denied the privel,
ege of taking the degree. Yet it may DO
to the interest of the order that they should
be excluded. For in case of their admis-
sion we fear few of the members would con-
tinue to be for any length of time Odd
Fellows.

RUNWAY WITH ANOTHER MANS WIFE,
Quite an amusing scene took place in
our borough, one day this week, which we
think will be interesting to our readers
A Frenchman who lived in New York,
and carried on the manufacturing of cork
legs, &c, had a very beautiful and faci-
mating wife, who lived in the same house.
The Frenchman was desperately in love
with the wife, and the wife was desperate
ly in love with him; and the only obsta-
Gle to their happiness was the husband
to get rid of him was their only wish, but
how to accomplish that they did not know.
At last they resolved to run away, and
leave the husband to seek another part
ner of his heart. Accordingly they wait
till a favorable opportunity when the hus-
band was absent, and they left for Phila-
delphia; from there they came to this boz
rough, and rented part of a house in Sell
lers street, which they furnished and liv-
ed together as man and wife, Nothing
transpired to mar their pleasure for seve-
raj weeks, and they lived on happy in n
another's company.
The husband on learning the news Of
the departure of his wife and the French
man, Immediately went in search of them.
He traced them as far as this place, where
he issued a warrant for the destroyer of
his happiness, which he put in the hands
Of the High Constable, with whom he
started in search Of their residence
Through the vigilence Of the High Con-
stable it was at last found, but The sedu-
Ger had fled, having received news that
the enraged husband wasi in search of him.
The meeting between the husband and
wife was said, by those who Witnessed it,
to have been very affecting. The wife,
on seeing her husband, opened her arms
to receive him; he embraced her in amost
affectionate manner. They chung to one
another for several minutes, continually
sobbing-neither able to speak. AT last
they became reconciled and began to con-
verse; they soon came to terms, and the
wife consented to return with her husband
to New York, which she accordingly did.

EDUCATION IN IowA.--In Iowa there are
Eve hundred and eighty one public schools,
taught by about the same number of teach
ers, Of whom nearly half are females. In
each township of the State one square mile
of land has been set apart to remain forever
devoted SO the support Of public schools.
The number Of acres thus reserved in the
whole State is about one million, which, with
other lands devoted to the same purpose.
are now worth two and a half millions of

Steubenville, Cadizan Cambridge
Turnpike Company.


We arc indebted to our repre-
sentative, Marshall Mccall, Esq.
for a copy of a special report of the
Auditor OF State. showing the a.
mount of stock held by the State in
Railroad, Turnpike and other COM
panics, and the annual dividends re-
ceived from each. The report is
quite interesting and satisfactory.
In looking over this report we
find the amount of stock owned by
the State. in what is called the Steu-
benville, Cadiz and Cambridgeturn-
pike company, is set down at $780,
G94 20. In making an explanation
in regard to the stock in this road,
the Auditor says
"The last report from the ~Steubenville,
Cadiz, and Cambridge Turnpike Company,
was dated Nov. 18th, 1847, in which it is
stated that this road is graded the most
part its entire length Of "a miles, but since
the suspension, on the part of the State, of
further payments on its portion of the stock,
the work upon the road has also been sus-
pended The stock held by the State in
this company is considered worthless, and
was therefore omitted in the annual reports
from this office"

TIOE.
Under this heading the Long Island
Star publishes an interesting tale, for the
extended details Of which we n ind
room, (says the Fxehange but we must
content ourselves with giving the leading
facts in a condensed form, for the benefit
of our readers.
A young grocer o good character and
correct habiis, commenced business in a
good and improved nsighborbOod. His
stock was small, as were his means, and
his stock Of customers were still smaller.
His sales hardly met his expenses and he
was evidently going down hill, and an old
grocer on the opposite corner predicted
he would soon be at the bottom.
That the young grocer had reason to
regret this opinion of the old grocer will
appear. The latter had a daughter, who
had won the heart Of the former. He Of
fered himself to her and was rejected. 1t
was done, however, with the assurance
that he was the man of her choice, but
that she acted in obedience to her fathers
commands.
Assured of the affections of the woman
of his choice, he set himself about re-
moveing the only obstacle in the way of
their union-the fathers objection to his
pecuniary prospects.
A year had elapsed, and 10, what a
: change? The young grocer was now 60
ing up HILL with the power of a steam
locomotive; customers fiocked to his store
from all quarters, and ever many had left
the old established stand on the opposite
corner, for the young favorite. There
was a mystery about it which puzzled the
old grocer sorely, but which he could not
unravel. He at length became nearly
sick with the losses ana a~ggravations, and
vain attempts to discover the secret ofhis
neighbours success.
At this juncture, Angelica-for that
was the daughters name-contrived to
bring about an apparently accidental in
terview between the parties. After the
old man had become, through the interven-
ton of the daughter, tolerably good hui
mored, he inquired with great earnest
ness ofthe young man how he contrived
to effect somuch in a single year, to thus
extend his business and draw off the Gus
toners from the old stand.
The young man evaded an answer
but inquired ifhe had any further objec-
tons to his union with Angelica. None
replied he provided you reveal the secret
ofyour success This the young man
promised when his happiness was made
complete. The old man commended his
prudence on this point. The affair was
all settled and the marriage soon took
place.
The friends of the young couple were
all assembled, and among them many of
The customers of the two stores. Angeli-
ca and Thomas looked as happy as could
be, and the old gentleman was, happier
than they. The bridal cake was about to
be cut, when the old man called out for
