Some of the particulars of the unfor

On the Track.


The locomotive is coming nearer every
day; and tits gcnarally believed that the
Iron train. will be in town from the west,
by Saturday evening. This is good
news, as things about our place will be
more lively than heretofore. We have
been waitiAg and hoping for the arrival
of the cars, for a long time, and now that
they will soon be here, is certainly cheer
ing. The first arrival Of the 5uNJine will
create quite an excitement for time, a4
this we need. It is excitement that gives
variety and spice of life, makes man ener-
getic, and in fact, tits that that gives soul
to our existence. Then roll on your cars,
and we will give you hearty welcome,
in our famous town of Upper Sandusky.
1t will be a pleasant sight to us to see
the fiery and rapid Iron Steeds coming in,
as if the very old harry were after them,
and bringing to our town new settlers and
travellers every day. Indeed, we think,
the coming of the cars will create entirely
a diffvrerent state of affairs in our midst.
We will then have the world cen
tered right round us, for we can ship
aboard the morning train and in few
hours land in Philadelphia, New York,
Baltimore, or almost any other point
On the western train, in very few hours
after taking our seats, we can land in Ft.
Wayne, Indiana; Chicago, Illinois, or
or wherever we please to go in that direc-
ton Are not these great advantages
over our old way of travelling in a mud
scow. drawn by some poor old bones,
scarcely able to get along? Give us rail
roads, telegraphs or any thing else that is
fast, but deliver us from the old worn out
fogy way of getting through the world.
Them we say, hurrah for the coming of
the cars.

WOmen,S Rights.


- WOmen's Rights.
Despise woman? Mol She is the most
admirable handiwork of God, in her true
place and character Her place is at
mans side. Her office, that of the sym
pathizer; the unreseryed, unquestionlng
believer; the recognition, withheld in ev-
cry other manner, but given, in pity,
through woman's heart, lest men should
utterly lose faith in himself; the echo of
Gods own voice, pronouncing, 1T is well
done! All the separate action of wo-
man is, and ever has been, and always
shall be false, foolish, vain, destructive of
her own best and holiest qualities, void of
every good effect, and productive of intol-
erable mischiefs! Man is wretch with
out woman; but woman is monster
and, thank Heaven, an almost impossible
and hitherto imaginary monster without
man as her acknowledged principal ! AS
true as [ had once a mother whom loved
were there any possible prospect OF wo-
mans taking the social stand which some
of them-poor, miserable. abortive Great
ures, who only dream of such things be-
cause they have missed woman's peculiar
happiness, or because nature made them
really neither man nor woman!-if there
were chance Of their attaining the end
which these petticoated montrosities have
in view, I would call upon my own sex tc
use its physical force, that unmistakable
evidence of sovereignty, to scourge them
back within their proper bounds ! But il
will not be needful The heart of true
womanhood knows were its own sphere is
and never needs to stray beyond it =.

~ The California Express gives the
following as fashionable life in one of the
little towns of California. That life would
be rather too fashionable for the people of
this country:
FASHIONABLE LIFE AT CoLUsA-We
learn by a private letter, that our neigh
bors at Colusa are becoming decidedly
pugnacious. 1t appears that some ladies
were reported to have said bad words of
each other, when the sterner sex took the
matter in hand, and after having exhaus-
ted the vocabulary Of billingsgate upon
each other, proceeded to the use of Colt S
persuaders, but without any fatal result.
The names of the parties were given, but
as it seems a sort of domestic broil, we
prefer to let the matter remain as it is at
present, and only publish this to caution
them against similar demonstrations in ftl-
ture, as the intelligence might fall into
hands who would be less scrupulous in
regard to giving it publicity.

poor families, who take newspapers, and

than the childrens of some rich families
who never have any papers. Tie con-
