Central Ohio Railroad.

We have had some conversation with the
President of the Central Ohio Railroad, and
are pleased to learn that the work between
here g. Zanesvlle is, taking into considera-
ton the scarcity of laborers, progressing rapid
ly. The Engineer reports about $4,000
worth of work being done monthly.
We are glad to find, also, that the rumors
which we have heard occasionally, within the
past four days, of the Company being embar-
rassed for the want Of funds, have not the
slightest foundation in truth. A railroad COM
pany whose stock is in demand at from 95 to
97b per cent, need never want funds. These
rumors went so far as to charge the company
with bad faith, in consequence Of their want
of funds, in using the means furnished them
by Belmont, Guernsey and Muskngum coun-
ties, amounting to 100000, on the western
division of the road, instead of east of Zlnes-
vile, and within these counties respectively.
The facts are these: OF the proceeds Of the
100000 of bonds, paid over by those coun-
ties, only about 100000 have as yet been
used; whilst about 100000 worth of work
has been done upon the road east of Zlnes-
county getting expended within
It about twice as much as the portions of their
used would amount to! These
facts show clearly the position of the COM
pany and its capacity Wheeling Times.

DR.. BAlLY editor of the National Era is
now travelling in Europe. In his paper of the
l4,h, there is an interesting letter from
which we make the following extract. showing
the lntemperance in LONDON.
see by the New York Tribune, whose
regular visits are as cheering as those of an old
friend--U shall not quarrel with it any more,
till get back)--that the Temperance cause
is "gong aheud"-that even in Washington,
| so often and so undeservedly reproached for
its supposed immoralities, the License system
has been voted down by the citizens. Thank
Heaven for that! Could they witness what
| daily see-the legions Of gin-shops here,
with men, women, and children, thronging
their doors, women drinking in the open
streets, spending the earnings of bcggary in
rum, instead of bread-they would never
repent their vote. ] have never before been
so profoundly impressed with the policy of
the Maine Liquor Law, never before felt so
deeply grateful to the preserving advocates of
Temperance in my own country: Intoxicating
liquor in some form or other is almost univer-
sally used in London. You cannot spend a
social evening with friend, without the
decanter being produced, and if you call at a
clergyman's house, you are asked to refresh
yourself with glass of wine. 1t is useless
to attempt any reform among the poorest
classes while this bad habit prevails among
respectable and wealthy people This is 'esson
long ago learned in America; but they have
yet to learn it in England. They do not
recognize the truth, that drinking in high
places encourages it in low places; that the
use of intoxicating spirits is in itself
an evil, an abuse; that temperate leads to
drinking, and is appealed to in
or excuse of its enormity. Ragged
schools, dorm,ores for the poor, bath-houses
for the working classes-all are doing good
work; but they can really accomplish very
little, comparatively so long as the poor
spend their earnings, waste all their substance,
and make brutes of themselves, by GIN
drinking. The Temperance Movement in
En- gland is far behind the times.

MIR. EANEY,s ADDRESS.

"My habits of life," says Mr.. Haney,
shave been that Of a thinker and not talker,
consequently l have never cultivated the
flowers Of oratory." That reminds me of a
story.
JACK TAR told his mother of great ma
ny strange things he had seen in far off coun-
tries, and among the rest of certain birds that
talked, called parrots.
Birds that talk! exclaimed the good
woman. 'Sure Jack, you aint making a
goostherumloodle of your poor old mother, is
ye! Birds that talk! Come Jack, now DON'T
Its as true as thunder said Jack. 'Out
there in the Sandwich Island they are as
plenty as mother Carey's Chickens at night

Birds that talk. Never heard of the
like before. l say Jack; cant you get me

Yes, mother, and | will; said Jack. 'The
very next voyage III. bring you one.'
In due time Jack went his next voyage
which happened not to be to the region o.
parrots; and in due time returned. AS he
turned the corner going to his mothers re-
sidence, he bethought himself of his promise
of the talking bird. The recollection was
heaviness of the heart to Jack. His mothe
would be glad to see him, very glad; bu
then, the talking bird! Jack; where is th,
talking bird! Walking slowly along, meditat

window of shop caught his eye. 'Egad,
said Jack, turning the quid in his check
that's lucky and forthwith went straight t.
the shop, bought the owl, took it home, an,
presented it to his mother as parrot; par
rot from the Sandwich Islands.
That talking bird; what joy it was t.
Jacks mother. True, it didn't speak righ
out at first, but then, no wonder. 1t was
among strangers, and it seemed sorter scared
and bashful like. 1t would talk when it go
better acquainted.
! Early in the morning of the next day she
came to the cage looking for the bird to talk
1t stood straight up, and looked unutterable
things out Of its great round eyes, but spoke
never word. Many time that day and the
next, and the next, she came, and tried tc
enter into conversation with the bird. She
talked and sung, and nodded, and beckoned
and laughed and grinned to it, but all in vain
She gave it water, and milk, and honey, ant
whiskey even, but whiskey it would not drink
and would not talk.
Il say Jack, said she, despuirng at last
Il say Jack, this bird wont talk

bird with a surprised expression, 'wall, the,

much, but he is capital for thinking. S. s.

Taking into view the difficulties that had to
be encountered and surmounted in the build

wonder is--not that it cost so much, but that
it did not cost great deal more. In conver-

For the UhrOnice.
SONS OF LIBERTY.-SecondM Meeting.

SONS OF LIBERTY--SecondM Meeting.
Well, here are preamble, resolutions and
speech, occupying five columns of the
newspaper in small print, and what is it all
about! All about Liberty to be sure. What
should Sons of Liberty talk about but Liberty.
| Liberty desired or Liberty in danger. Men
made earnest and devoted by present or
prospective unbearabe tyranny, and stimuat-
ed by the example of Revolutionary sires
met in meeting, adopted preamble and re-
solutions and made a speech. The air re-
sounds with the excamations of devoted
heroes. Amidst the noise and confusion oc-
casioned by the spontaneous and unanimous,
uprising o: oppressed and resolved men, we
can distinguish some sounds; such as Liberty;
Liberty and Liquor; Liberty or death; Liberty,
Liquor and death; Doton with the Maine Law;
and the like.
Very significant of the general purpose g.
these exclamations of resolved men, but they
do not fully inform us of all that we wish to
know. We have still to inquire, who is the
oppressor, and what is the oppression.
Who is the oppressor! The meeting have
given us to know in their preamble to their
sor is a certain class of men who have band
ed themselves together under the imposing
name of Sons of Temperance.
What is the oppression! And here again,
we are not lett in the dark. The meeting
inform us that the said Sons of Temperance
"are seeking by Legislative enactments to
make the manufacture and sale of wine and
other alcoholic liquors penal offence, punish
able by fine and Imprisonment"
And what are they fighting for! OF course,
Free Liquor. Restriction is proposed on one
side and resisted on the other. Tyranny a.
gainst Liberty. Or, as, Mr.. Haney puts it
in the following felicitous sentence.
"l say, they by their action, yea, they say orally
we cannot govern ourselves-we cannot govern our
nppetitos, thereby giving the lie to the theory and
practice of our republican oretathers, well the
precepts taught us by our old respected mothers"
Mr.. Haney, of course, means to say that
we can govern ourselves; we can govern our
appettes; such was the theory and practice
of our republican forefathers; and such was
the lesson taught us by our sold respected
mothers" Away with your restrictions. |
Liberty and Liquor. Free liquor forever.
But let us look little closer into their
proceedings to ascertain il our priori con-
clusions, and our reading of Mr. Heany are
Do the "Sons of Liberty" 60 for
free liquor! What means this resolution -
Resolved That while we oppose the passage Of I
he Maine Law, or any law similar thereto, to pro.
libit the sale OF wine and other alcoholic liquors in
his State we in favor OF constitutional laws to
guard against evils arising from the indiscriminate
,ae thereof
Free liquor, indeed! There are then ad-
nitted evils to be guarded against by consti-
Iutional laws. Then we cant altogether gov
ern ourselves. We must submit to some leg.
slative restrictions upon our appetites. Then
