Rail- Road Meeting.

A meeting of the citizens of Ravenna was held
at the Court House on Monday evening last, to
consider the subject of the Franklin and Warren
Rail Road.
MIR. PRENTIss made statement of the position
IN which the matter is at present, stating that a
conference had that day been held by committees
from the Cleveland and Pittsburgh and the Frank
lin and Warren Roads, which had resulted in an
agreement the part of the latter to locate their
Road to the mutual benefit of both Roads, and so
as to promote the interests and advantage of this
place, provided the requisite amount of stock is
raised here. We think that every person can see
the importance of this work to the business and
property interests of our village. The meeting
adjourned to Saturday evening, when it its hoped
every citizen of the place viii be in attendance
and manifest his interest in this great work by
giving it all the aid in his power.

Another cree Sotl Lie Natlet1.

"How IS THrs?-It is said Mr.. Deputy Sheriff
Herrif refused to receive drunken fellow into
Jail last Thursday night, at the hands of the Mar
shal. How is this The Tom Thumb Law then,
can't have the use of the County Jail. Then give
us the Maine Law, and Deputy Sheriff 3 will prob
ably soon learn their duty"
The above is taken from the Ohio Star of last
week, and we need only add, that it a complete
unfounded, unmitigated, and malicious falsehood.
There is not one syllable of truth in the entire
article nor any circumstance that justfes the lie.
But progressive men who fight 'for principle, p
and shave political party organization to main
tain,'' must not effect too much modesty, should
truth itself be sacrificed.

The deaths by the epidemic continue to aver

there are many cases in private practice and
among respectable circles, it is subject of spe-
cial remark that they easily managed, and that
very few prove fatal Almost every resident has
had occasion to verify this fact, within his own
range of observation. The disease seizes upon
all the unacclimated, but its attacks seem to be
mortal chiefly among the unfortunate laboring
classes, who either allow it to proceed too far be-
fore obtaining medical aid, or are unable to COM
mand this indispensable means of safety. We
know personally of at least fifty acquaintances

BILE to the naked eye, in the West, at about half

ness of star of the third magnitude; tail of
one or two degrees in length can also be distin-

ject has been observed by astronomers for one or
two months past, during which time it has been
gradually increasing in brightness. It's distance
from the sun is now thirty millions of miles; but
from the earth it is two or three times more re-
mote.

0t When the opposition prints speak of the
"fusiousts'' ticket they tell the people that 'po-
litiealy the candidates are equally divided among
the several parties." Now, let no Democrat be
deceived by such f1msey pretext. Look at the
ticket, and then tell what political power is
secured to the Democracy thereby. In the cleo
ton of an u s. Senator, in the policy of the State
and nation, is the Democratic party to have any
voice whatever? No, not whit. The Free
Sellers were cautious to secure the nomination
of the candidate for Representative who will
vote for s. P. Chase for U. s. Senator, and the
Bankers were particular to secure man true to
their interest. And when the question comes up
next winter of repeating the, law taxing Banks,
the money power will have man ready to sub
serve their interest, to return to them their lost
privileges, and to impose additional burthens upon
the people for the benefit of chartered wealth. Of
what avail will this equal division of candidates
be then. What would the Democracy and the
people gain then, though every other candidate
on the ticket were from the Democratic party?
Is there Democrat in the county who is ready
to abandon this great reform for which we have
been contending for years, and again place the
State under the supreme control OF the money
power! Are the people readysto shield the Banks
from the taxes justly imposed upon them by the
law and the constitution, and add quarter of g
million of dollars to their own taxes? If not, will
they allow themselves to be deceived into aiding
the bankers in their designs by issues got up with
the express view to mslead them, and by the silly
pretext that this "fsionist' ticket is s'no party
concern, and that the candidates are equally di.
vided among the several parties" 1t is ticket
in which the bankers had the modesty to take the
lions share, and on which they can rely for the
accomplishment of their desires, and as well
might the convention have nominated bank d
rector and member of the Board of Control fol
Representative, as to give him the control of
| committee to select the man to do his will.
| o. Our neighbor of the Star seems IN very
bad humor at our frequent aliusion to the subjec
of Banks and Bank Taxes. No wonder, for he j:
peculiarly situated-bound by his professions ant
those of his party, to stand by the present Law
taxing the Banks, and by his engagement will
the directors to work for its repeal! No doubt i
would be agreeable to his tender sensibilttes
we would sdrap the subject" That sheet som,
time ago promised to discuss all the questions a
issue in this contest, and yet, beyond mere asser
ton and wholesale denunciation it has not eve1
dared to utter word upon this, the most impor
tant of them ALL It's position, and that of its Goa
lition candidates are to be kept secret from tn
people. Now we would like an exhibition O
"free speech" upon this subject; SO let them dol
the muzzle and speak out

Now the "Whig'' is in favor of sending Caleb
Brown to the Legislature. Is he Wing? Will
he vote for the repeal of the Anti-Whig tax law,
and the crow-bar law! Will he vote for Wing

to be in favor of free trade, direct taxation and
directly opposed to every measure of the Whig
