Only about one and a quarter miles of new
road have been made, much of the time and
money having been expended in relayng and
otherwise repairing the road. The little thai
has been done during the past year. was done
under very embarrassing circumstances thn
treasury empty, township bonds exhausted,
and stockholders generally discouraged.
An effort was made at the beginning oi
the year to have some of the townships
again take stock; II vote was taken, and lost.
Our ambitious superintendent, falling in his
efforts for the immediate cOmpietion Of the
road, "fured Up,' resigned his office, sued the
company for his services, got his pay and
left This, like all other over-done efforts
had tendency to rctard 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.
It has been proposed 10 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 a paying one, no one Gan doubt. But,
aside from this, the towns of Perrysburg and
Fndlay demand such a ROAD, and the people
all along the line Of road demand it, and
would be more than paid by the use of 1t,
when completed, if they should in no other
way get back the big dollar they laid out IN
its construction. And it is tP be hoped that,
into whosever hands the fu ture destiny Of
the road may come, some Impetus may be
given to i T.. and that we may yet see It's final
complexion.

The MedicnI Lighthnnse.

From the Spring6eld (Nluss.J Daily Post
A series Of popular and scientific essays
on the nature, uses and diseases oGlhc Lungs.
Heart, Liver, Stomach, Kidneys, Blood, &c"
This work is written in a clear and compra-
hensive style and is well calculated to en-
Tighten the masses on physiological and an
atomical subjects. Unlike most medical
works, it is entirely divested of technicali-
ties. which only serve to mystiry the mind
in pursuit of information upon subjects so
important and yet so neglected. lfthe prin-
ciples which the author strives to inculcate
were adopted by the young. and strictly
practiced the world would be less crowded
with invalids, and the longevity of the hui
man family would be greatly increased Ev-
cry individual should possess d copy.

An attempt has been made to arrest Arri-
son, the Torpedo Murderer of Cincin-
natl. He was at his fathers, at Croton,
Lee county, Iowa., when several persons re-
paired thither for the purpose of apprehend-
ing him. But he made good his escape, and
has not been heard of or seen since.

A copy of this new and popular work is
before us and after a cursory perusal of its
large and beautifully printed pages, we think
it a very valuable work. While many of the
doctrines advanced in the book, are in con
with received opinions, they have
a show Of plausibility which at least entities
them to the attention of every onc. We
regard it as highly beneficial physiological
work, which all would do well to procure
and study. Retail price, two dollars.

a work with the title of "The Peoples
Medical Lighthouse" has been laid on our
table. We have hastily glanced it through
and find in it much that is instructive: and
our opinion Is, that the work will do good.
The author appears TO be a reformer, and
speaks right out with reference to some
things, in way that can not fail to affect
many minds favorably and to their profit
We have not yet sufficiently examined the
book to be able to give it an extended notice,
but we think we'll of it.

out in large eating sores from my knee to my
foot, and discharged great deal of offensive
matter. My groin also broke out in large biles
which discharged much offensive matter, and
OF the same time my left hand broke out in
large running sores nearly to my elbow.
