his part of the road, so far as finished, until

passengers each way. The trains make good
time for new road, and the track is quite
smooth. At Waseon, there isa line of stages
to West Unity and Bryan. From this city
to the Indiana line, 50 miles, the road is to
be an Air Line, and there will be but three
curves between this and Goshen. .F
The country on the line from two or three
miles of Toledo to Centerville, (the station
near Swanton) is sandy and not very iavora-
BILE for cultivation beyond that it is good.

a good location, and contains already a
good hotel, two dry good stores, two groce-
ries and several dwellings. 1t bids fair to be
an important place.

one is much wanted for the accommodation
of those living beyond as well as those living
on that portion of the line already com
pleted.- Toledo Rep. .t-.

him, and the treatment the ia ather received is
believed to have caused the disease of which
he died. .. ..

church, as he had requested, and yesterday
they dug place for the purpose Of building
a receptacle for the coffin. This morning

to be defeated, and despite the efforts of the
bishop, proceeded, and again opened it, the
bishop then refused to open the church for
