Stockholders will bear in mind that
the election Of Directors for this road
comes off on Thursday, the goth inst. -
This is an important election, and we
hope that all stockholders will be on
hands in due season TO talk over the
various matters connected with the road
That the road can be built, and that il
must be bull, is settled. But, If built, it
must have an energetic head that ioiH do
nothing else than attend TO the road Such
a man can be had and must be had, or II
would be best TO disband at once and
forever. We say at once, because the
road cannot be built without such a
head, and we say forever, because If not
built now il never will be.

A CORRECTION.

We have learned within the last few
days, from a sourse that is reliable,
that the father Of the girl who died in
the care Of the 0verseers of the poor,
a few weeks ago, is not drunkard.-
We make the correction at the earliest
possible moment after receiving the in
formation. We took, as we thought
great pains to ascertain the truth, but
we were misled by two persons who
live in the neighborhood, aud who
protested to speak from certain knowl'
edge. From a source more lelablo
we learn the man has the reputation
of being sober man.
Had the facts been as they were rep.
resented to US, wo believe il to havc
been our duty to allude to them as VIC
did.

The Committee on Constitutions,
who were especially instructed to re-
port plan for the admission of Fe-
males as visitors, or as full members,
and TO whom were referred the resolu-
tons of the Grand Divisions of Penn
sylyania and Georgia, would respect
fully report plan, which should for
the present satisfy the wishes of the
more anxious friends of the PROPOSE
ton, and at the same time can be tried
with perfect safety-and if expen-
ence shall hereafter dictate repeal,
it can be had without injurious conse-
quenees.
The plan proposed, is embodied in
the following. which we recommend to
be adopted
1. That any Subordinate Division.
may, by two thirds vote, determine
TO admit Females over sixteen years of
age, as visitors, at such times as may

THE CLAYTosEAN ExHrBrTIoS.-This
society exhibited last Thursday evening.
We were pleased to notice that they
began at the exact time appointed; no
one stood in the corner to read essays,
and the question for discussion was so
worded as to have an affirmative and a
negative and no defamation preceded
the salutatory. We attributed these
improvements chiefly to the puff we gave
them last spring. We hope the youn g
