Railroads---Their Benefits to Far
mers.


The following able article from the New
lisbon Palladium. we recommend to the
careful consideration Of our farming friends
who are not willing to give the right of way
TO the Cadiz Branch Of the Steubenville and
Indiana Railroad. The Palladium says:
Many farmers seem inclined to the opinion
that railroads are a "capital invention" to
concentrate wealth upon towns and cities
and build them up at the expense of the
surrounding country. This opinion is an
absurdity. Instead Of taking money from
the pockets of farmers, railroads are their
best source of revenue. If these roads did
hot add a single cent to the intrinsic value of
farms, they would still save money 10 the
farmer. The increased facilities for The
transportation of goods, groceries, iron, DC,
put It IN tbe power of merchants to dispose
OF these Indispensable articles at lower rates,
than when they are compelled to pay heavy
storage and freight bills upon every invoice
of goods brought to inland towns. What is
true of getting goods into a country market
is equally true of shipping agricultural or
other productions from internal depots of
trade. We remember Of reading a case,
some months ago, illustrating This part OF
railroad benefits, which occurred in a neigh
boring State. A farmer who resided about
fifty miles from any considerable flour mar
ket, employed four teams to haul forty bar
Als of -four that distance. Unable to attend
to the business himself, he employed his
~neighbors to take his -four to market and
dispose of it, agreeing to pay them for that
service one doAar On each barrel of -four
In the market, the sum of $2, so per barrel
was all that the -four would command
Those having charge of the -four refused
that sum, as they saw it would yield the
owner but $1,5 so for his flour, so they stored
it and returned home. In this instance, the
farmer paid twice as much for transporting
his commodity fifty miles to market, as
would have cost him to send it by railroad
one thousand miles, to a market where he
could have obtained from three to four dol
lars per barrel for his flour; or he might have
sold it at his own door for more than was
offered to his agents. This is only one little
item in a country without railroads. 10 a
greater or less degree, the experience of this
farmer, in making sale Of his -four, is that
in the case of every other article of farm
production.
In the east, all railroad experience proves
that it would have been a good investment
for the farmers residing along the road to
have built them without any expectation or
hope OF interest in return, on account of the
increase in the value Of their property, such
improvements produce. There are hundreds
of farmers on the rugged hills of some of the
eastern States, who were once scraping a
scanty subsistence from the barren soil, that
have been suddenly enriched by a railroad
sweeping past them. Their forests are now
mines of wealth.

The Kentucky Senatorial case vas then
taken up, VIXEN Mr.. Meriwethe' said as the
vacancy had happened and the Governor
had filled it. there his power ended, and it
was for tt Senate to decide how long that
appointment continued. He wished he
cnuld give his seat up to Mr.. Dixon, as the
Legislature declared their desire that he
should have it, but the act of the Governor
was so clearly in pursuance uf the constitu-
ton that the appointment was 10 continue
until the ueHt meeting of the Legislature.
Mr.. Rush took MIR. Dixon's side. Mr.,
Seward followed on the same side, giving
his reasons. Finally the vote was taken and
Mr.. Dixon was admitted by a vote of 81
yeas to 16 nays.
Mr.. Dixon was sworn in and the Senate
adjourned.
HousE.-Mr. Brown of Miss, submitted
an amendment to the rules, pro'idipg for
the appointment of a Committee of fifteen,
to be called a Committee of Claims, which
was debated.
Mr.. Freeman proposed a substitute in

quire into the expediency of giving to thu

Foreign Bank Paper.

We learn by our exchanges that the Gin
cinnati Banks have commenced throwing out
every description of Eastern paper, except
at a discount of one per cent.
The Plain Dealer Of the 18th inst. saws
the banks of Cleveland have given notice
that from and after the 18th inst, they will
receive on depositn no Canada, Wisconsin, H.
linois, or Michigan Detroit excepted, bank
paper. Of course this excluded paper will
be at a discount, and the brokers will fix the
rates. The object Of the bankers is to give
a preference to Ohio banks, and to Eastern
currency, which latter viii likely remain at
par. as it can be easily converted into
coin than Western paper. We wish the
banks had included Kentucky paper. also,
the most miserable of all trash aHoat, one
half counterfeit and the other halt good for
nothing.
All we have to say is that the times por-
tend, sooner or later, another "erasA," and
that It will be well for the farmer and labor
er to keep q sharp lookout, or they may get
BIZ. The Ohio banks may be better than
Eastern or Western, but that there are some
Of them that are in q sbad way" there is
not . doubt. Gold and silver is the only
money that will never fail, and any one that
keeps money long in his hands, had better
secure something real.

Look Out for Panthers.

For some time past there has been con-
siderable excitement in this place, occasion
ed by the repeated reports that the unmis-
takeable tracks of Panther--a real doaefae
denizen of the ''untamed wilds" of America
had been seen in the neigborhood. Some
credited these reports; others did not. Last
night, however, Mr.. j. b. Turner, having
been awakened by the ~incesant barking Of
his watch dog, was induced to go out and
see what was the matter. Upon following
the dog to the back part of the lot, he dis
covered a strange looking animal in his pig
pen, and endevored to make his dog take
hold ofit, but "Trip" evidently aware of
the danger of such rashness, refused. Mr..
7. then picked up a billet of wood and struck
the varmint somewhere about the head
Not rellshing this rude treatment, on so short
an acquaintance, it leapod at its a~ssaulter,
who retleated in "doubIe quick time," leav-
ing poor "Trip and the ''Panther" to fight
it out. Mr.. Turner has not seen the "Pan-
ther," nor anything like it since. 1t is said
to have been seen this morning, about a mile
from town. Some twelve or fourteen men,
armed, and any number of dogs have gone
in pursuit. We will give the particulars as
soon as we learn them.
N. B. Since writing the above, part Of the
company have returned, and report that
strange looking tracks were noticed in the
bottoms below town.

"Panther" still at large.-Piks 20. COY
Democrat.
E1"Our friends down in Pike county, seem
to be troubled In about the same maner that
the people of this neighborhood were some
three years since. You could hear nothing
else then but panther" ''panther," and
every person, that believed the story, was
in a great state Of excitement. A meeting
was held, a day for a general hunt was fix
ed. Marshalls, Captains, DC were appoint
ed. and the 'hanimal'' was to be taken sure.
But no panther was caught. 1t all turned
out that some person had a large yellow
dog, that was sneaking round the country,
and that was the "panther." This is about
the way we think it will turn out in Pike
county. Hurrah for humbuggery.

Dead Subscriber.

The following is an cid story; but as il
can lose nothing by being often told, we
give it for the benefit of our ~nonpaying pa.
irons, in the hope that they will save us the
trouble of publishing their obituaries by ma
king immediate payment.
A long winded subscriber to a newspa
per, after repeated Cummings, promised that
the bill should be paid by a certain day, il
he wa alive. The day passed over and no
money reached the Office. In the next mum
Der, therefore, Of the newspaper, the editor
inserted among the deaths a notice of his
subscribers departure from this life. Pref
ty soon after the announcement, the subject
of it appeared to the edi'or-not with the
pale and CHASTITY countenance usually ascrib-
ed to apparitions, nor did he wait to be spo-
ken to, but broke silence.
"What, sir, did you mean BY publishing
my death?"
why, sir, / meant what ! mean when
publish the death of any other perstn n, viz:
to let the world know that you were dead"
"But | am not dead"
"Not dead! then it is your W fault: for
you told me you would positively pay your
bill by such a day, if you lived to that time
The day passed, the bill is not paid, and
you positively must be dead; for | will NOT
believe that you wo'd forfeit your word"
"0h, no! Isee thatyou have got roundme
Mr.. Editor; but say no more about there's
the money. And harkce, my wag, you'll
contradict my death next week?"
80, certainly, sir, just to please you
though upon my word cant help thinking
you were dead OF the time specified, and
that you have come back to pay this bill on
account of your friendship to me-"
