Only about one and quarter miles of new
road have been made, much of the time and
money having been expended in RELAXING and
otherwise repairing the road The little that
has been done during the past year, was done
treasury empty, township bonds exhausted,
and stockholders generally discouraged.
An effort was made at the beginning of
the year to have some Of the townships
again take stock vote was taken, and lost.
Our ambitious superintendent, failing in his
efforts for the immediate cOmplctiOn of the
road "fared Up,' resigned his office, sued the
company for his services, got his pay and
left. This, like all other over-done efforts,
had a tendency to retard the progress and
interest of the road. And yet, we think that
some Of the townships would again take
stock; and Others that have not yet taken,
would, were they assured that their subscrip-
tions would be expended in the township
where subscribed.
1t has been proposed to stone the road a
portion of the way, where the stone is
plenty, and give subscribers an opportunity
to work out at least part of their subscrip-
tions. That this road, when completed, will
be paying one, no one can doubt. But,
aside from this, the towns of Perrysburg and
Findlay demand such road, and the people
all along the line of road demand it, and
would be more than paid by the use of it,
when completed, if they should in no other
way get back the big dollar they laid out in
its construction. And it is to be hoped that,
into whosever hands the future destiny of
the road may come, some impetus may be
given to it, and that we may yet see its final
completion.

tors, SAMUEL JOHNSON, Sec'y.

ARRIVAL OF FOREIGNERS The influx of
foreigners to our port yesterday was very
great. Several ships, early in the morning,
came up the bay, their decks lined with new
arrivals, and between sunrise and IL o'clock,
noon, something over 5000 emigrants had
arrived. What is most extraordinary among
all these there was not one case of sickness,
and not one of this number left sick at the
hospital N. Y. Herald.

The Medical Lighthouse.
From the New London Daily Chronicle.

From the New London Daily Chronicle.
A new and valuable medical work, bear
ing the unique and significant title of "The
Peoples Medical Lighthouse has been laid
upon our table. 1t is from the pen of Har-
mon X. Root, A. NJ, M. D., the inventor of
the celebrated Lung Barometer, and author
of "Lectures on Health" From cursorv
perusal, we should Judge that it is well ad-
apted to the wants of those people who have
a taste for physiological studies, and a desire
TO qualify themselves sufficiently to act as
their own physicians. A work like this in
the first p lace, will have tendency to open
the eyes of those who {" do not know them
selves and lead them to abandon many per
niCious habits of living which they have
from time to time inadvertently fallen into.
and which are gradually undermining their
constitutions. Poor Richards old maxim
that "an ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure" is just as correct now as it
was in the days of the Printer Philosopher,
and if people would only live up to it's
teachings, the longevity of the human race
would be immeasurably increased. People
have wanted light on physiological matters,
and that which is not dimmed by the misty
shadows of technicalities, and this new
work, from the pen of one who is an fat in
his profession, supplies the great desideratum
This book comes within the comprehension
of the masses and while its style is simple,
It IS alike elegant, rendering it deserving of
the Perusal of both the higher and lower
classes.

From the Manchester (N.H) Amer. & Messenger.
A new medical work, bearing the title of
= The Peoples Medical Lighthouse" has re-
Gently been published in New York, under
the editorial supervision of DR.. Root, who
has gained much celebrity for his success in
treating chronic and pulmonary diseases.
The author appears to be an oppugner of the
allopathic system Of practice, and views the
administration of mineral medicines, as well
as the old-fashioned practice of blood letting
as not only unnecessary, but absolutely per-
nlcious to the health and permanent restora-
lion of the invalid The arguments Of the
writer in favor Of the use of vegetable rem
edies, evidence his acquaintance with the
subject, and give plausibility to his theory.
The work treats clearly and compreheusively
on all diseases which affect the human fam
iIy, giving description of their various
symptoms, and advising the course best to
De pursued for their eradication. Unlike
most medical publications, the Peoples
Medical Lighthouse is decidedly interesting,
and well calculated to prepare the people to
act as their own physicians. individuals as
well as families, should obtain copies.
