The Little Miami Railway,

We find the following notice Of the

Yet we have seen the time when a
county subscription Of few thousand
dollars was lost TO it, Oh the grotnd Of

the time when we peeped through the

wonder, 10 see fer the first time "the Lo-

would have looked like mouse beside

sengers over grades too expensive to be
subdued. And it is a positive fact that
the Company was about that time unable
TO obtain credit ior load of coal !
Lo, what change! The stock which
went begging is now begged for, the
road is stocked with many huge engines
and hundreds Of cars. the track has been
Strengthened, leveled, relaid, and will
shortly be doubled, and the Company can
command millions where it tcould not then
command thousands.
"And this is all attributable TO the won
derful growth oi our State - says one.
Not altogether. Ofcourseth the prosperity
Of the country had something to do with
it; but energy had still more. This was
the pioneer road. Though not the first
begun in Ohio, it was the first finished.
Its proprielors launched into 'the untred
ocean OF experiment." and built it BY
slow and painful degrees, against hurl
ing storm OF pliless public opinion. The
enterprise needed a Columbus. boldly to
sail over the unknown sea, peopled with
fabulous monsters

ground OF a prosperity unlocked for by

From the Cincinnati Gazette.

The Catholic Toicgra ph on the Jes-
uitS' Oath and PapaI supremacy
The desperate efforts made by our CO.
temporary to escape from the doctrines Of
the Jesuits' and bishops oath, as publish.
ed by us, show either that it is not con.
Sidered prudent TO avow the old doctrines
and practices Of the Catholic church here,
or that these have changed with the chan
ges in society and'the improved condition
and increased intelligence of mankind
We are glad to see our contemporary at.
tempting to get rid Of these odious doc
trines; and we should very gladly excuse
the absence of Christian spiritin his re-
ply to us, if he had only displayed that
of an honest and fair controversialist.
In the first place, the Telegraph denies
the authority of Arch bishop Usher, up
on the ground, we suppose, that he was a
Protestant. Archbishop Usher was one
of the most pious and learned men of his
day,--a eminent divine whose life was as
pure and upright as humanity has often
attained to and if he asserts that Jes-
uits oath which we published was cop.
led from the records of the Society of
Jesus in Paris, we presume it will have
quite as much weight with all who sin
cerely desire to arrive at the truth, as any
of the random or equivocal denials of the
Telegraph.
Our cotemporay also objects to DR..
Brownlee, whom he denounccs as pub.
lie Slanderer in the same breath with which
he pronounces the eminently holy and
learned Archbishop Usher an 'unprinci-
|pled enemy of the Church Such de-
famation may surely be permitted to 60
for what it is worth, especially as DR.,
Brownlee was considered respectable and
learned enough to carry on controversy
with the Very Rev, DR.. Power, the Rev,
DR.. Varela. and the Rev. Mr., Levins,
three Catholic priests, collectively, and
Notwithstanding the inequality of the con-
test, soon succeeded in silencing them.
With reference to the Bishops oath, the
Telegraph denies that it contansa clause
making it obligatory on them to 'perse-
cute heretcs, and declares that there is
no word in ecclesiastical Latin which cor
responds to the English word persecute,
Now though the Telegraph is very fond
of charging us with ignorance, we will
notretortit here, Our cotemporary must
have known that ii was giving a false
meaning to the word 'persequi when he
translated it to preach against With
out any knowledge Of Latin whatever, he
might have learned, from any complete
English Dictionary, that the English verb
persecute' is derived from thatyery word
'persoqn1 which word we believe never
has the signihcation given to it by The
Telegraph; and certainly has not when
used in connection with the word impug
nabo.'

for the tyranls John Henry II, and Hen

was making a charge in every respect

the large number of oxen, cattle, and
horses driven across the plains, the last

that stock would rule at low prices. But
this is not the case Oxen now command
from $500 10 $500 yoke. Horses sell
from 5000 TO l,000--the latter for the
best. An ordinary dray horse will com.
