Railroads. AtAN

We learn from Mr.. Foster OF Rome, that
the preliminary steps to build road from
Fremont, via Rome and Findlay, to Lima,
thence toward the State line westward or
southwestward, have been taken. and L. @.
Rawson, Justice, and others of Fremont,
whose names we have forgottn. with Chas
W. Foster, of Rome, have SO far formed them
selves into a company, that as soon as they
receive their certificates from the Secretary
of State, they will proceed to see what can
be done toward the consummation of the this
most important enterprise on their part-and
one, too, in which the interests of Finlay and
Hancock Co. weigh most heavily. The peo-
pie of Hancock have nobly responded to every
call made upon them, when public improve
ment was asked at their hands. The Mad
River Branch was proposed some years ago
and the united voice OF the county went forth
with loud acclaim, greeting the building OF
the road When it was proposed last fall to
take stock in the Dayton and Michigan road
provided it would come here, to the amount
of 100000, the people spoke with loud
voice in a majority Of over 800, saying. "Let
the road come and the money shall not be
wanting, When it was proposed to "T" rail
the arm road, the people again said, LET ii
be done" But their willingness to improve
their county has been met with no favorable
results Other interests have oyerbalanced
ours, and the Facts have decided against us.
But new project is upon us. Our northern
friends stretch out their hands and cordially
greet us, and ask a mite thrown into the
scale that our mutual interests may outweigh
the obstacles to be surmounted. We may as
well say farewell to all other projects and
ceaye to this one alone. A road from Fre-
mont on the line proposed, will give us all
the railroad connections and facilities we need
want. Think of it, people of Hancock. and
say ye what ye will do; and what ye will de-
eide upon, let every tongue swear it shall be
Hancock Courier.

Ballad

ny JoiIN SAKE, OF VERMONT.
There lived an honest fisherman,
| knew him passing well;
He dwelt hard by little pond,
Within little dell
A grave AMI quiet man was he;
Who loved bis hook and rod;
SO epea ran bis lines Of life,
His neigbbors thought it odd
For science and for books. be said
He never had a wish;
No school to him was worth fg,
Except a school Of fish,"
This single. minded fisherman
A double calling had;
To tend his nocks in winter time,
In summer, fish for shad.
Ia short, this honest fisherman
All other tolls forsook,
And, though no vaerant man was he,
He lived by "hook and crook"
All day that fisherman would sit
Upon an ancient log,
And gaze upon the water, like
Some sedentary frog.
A cunning fisherman was he,
His angles were all right;
And when he scratched his aged poll,
You'd know he'd got bite. =.
To charm the fish he never spoke,
And, though his voice was fine,
He found the most convenient way
Was just to drop line"
And many "gugeon" of the pond,
If made to speak to-day,
Would own with grief, this angler had
A mighty stalking ray"
One day, while fishing on the log
He mourned his want of luck;
When suddenly he felt bite,
And jerking-caught "duck"
Alas that day, the fisherman
Had taken too much grog.
And being but andsman, too,
He couldn't "keep the Iog"
In vain he strove with all his might,
And tried to gain the shore;
Down, down he went to feed the fish
He'd baited oft before!
The moral of this mournlul tale
To all is plain and clear;
A single "drop too much" of rum,
May make a watery bier.
And he who will not "sign the pledge"
And keep the promise fast,
May be, in spite of fate, stiff
Cold Water man at last!
