RAILROAD IrEMs.-The Directors Of the
Central Ohio Railroad have recently nego-
tiated sale of $500, 900 OF their first mort
gage bonds at fair rates, which will ensure
the early completion Of the road between
gainesville aud Wheeling. This is inter-
esting intelligence TO the friends OF the c.
W. g. z. Railroad.
A company has lcen organized under the
general law, for constructing a straight line
road from Mansfield to Newark. The dis
tI,nce be;w1en the W points will be eleven
or twel, e miles shorter by the new than By

Total debt
Sis,sss,74l e5

The surplus revenue from the United
States, will probably remain permanently
with the State. Deducting this item the to-
tai public debt is $l7, 1881 ,4Sh6h. The In
reducib!e trust funds are not designed to be-,
paid. The annual interest is all that iss
wanted. Deducting this, we have the sum
of $l5,649, $40 05 as the amount Of ours
public debt which we shall, in due time, bes
called upon to pay.

THE STATE AGENT iS New YoRx The
Trust Company has performed the duty of
State Agent in New York for the payment
of interest on the State debt, &c. In De-
cember last, the present Fund Commission
crs. Of whirh Mr.. Auditor Morgan is the
Chief, removed the business from that Com
pany, and appointed A. p. Edg, rton, a mem
Der Of Congress, the State Agent. Edger-
ton still serves in Congress, and We do not
know who does the business. Two and a
half months since the Senate Of Ohio by
resolution, called on the Auditor to inform
that body or what terms or contract Edger-
ton did the business. After the expiration
Of six weeks, nothing being heard from him
in reply, the Senate passed another resolu'
ton requiring he Auditor "to report forth
with, without delay" Another month has
since expired, and the Auditor is dumb-he
treats the Senate with contempt! He is
not content with this "masterly inactivity, ,
but has cuused bill to bercported appropri'
uting foe thousand dollars 10 pau the erpenSes
Of The Mem York AgencV! The Trust Com
pany charged about half that sum for doing
the business, but the member of Congress
or somebody else, wants some of the PEG
ple's money, and must have it,-Ctn. Gas.

WITcHcRAFr IN PEEKsYLvANIA.-The
C%hambersburg (Pa.) Wing relates a singu-
lar instance Of superstition, which proves
that the heliefin witchcraft is not yet done
away with. 1t appears that recently ate-
male membeF of denomination called the
Christian Church, in Fulton county, Pa
WIS taken sick, and finally imagined she
was bewitchedby a sister in the church a
meetinso of the session was called in due sea
son, at which the minister presIded' and inc
! charge of witchcraft was formally preferred
against the lady. Being a new case, and
we presume, not privided for in the dIscip-
! line, the session was puzzled Ssto the prop
or manner to proceed in the case AT
length il was proposed that she should be
asked 10 step over a broomstick, as it had
becn said a witch could not do go; but the
accused got over il without apparent difficult
". After a consultation it was thru agreed
that she should be tried in a pair of weigh
scales with a bible to balance her, and il
she was q witch the bible would be too heavy
for her. Accordingly she was taken to Z
mil, and thu experiment tried. but she prov
ed too heavy for the bible. 1t was then in
timated that probably her clothing prevent
ed Il fair test, and half a bushcl Of corn wat
then put on the scales with the bible, L
balance the clothing, but still the lady wa
too heavy, and the charge was formally dis
missed. r
