The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1857-07-02

returned for these counties in the census
Of 1850, was 500, ,5l5, 749. The wheat
produced was returned as 4,754,Soe
bushels, rye and oats. A 93f, ,604 bushels,
Indian corn. 8, 27o, 252 bushels, and the
wool as 2,749, s3s lbs. The production
of these counties show a. soil of high val
ue. Taking the twelve counties in Ohio,
we find thot by the census of 1850, while
they contained 1912 per cent. of the pop
uIation Of the State, and had but IA SO
per cent of the improved land. they pro-
dured 1864 per cent. Of the wheat grown
in the State. These same 12 counties in
1850 still contained l,095.015 acres OF
unimprovcd land, and most of it heavily
timbered A similar statement we have
no doubt might be made Of the counties
in Indiana, From the reports of the
State Auditor, it appears that the valua,
ton Tor taxation Of all these counties ex-
cept Cook, Illinois, in 1856, was $143,-
005,974. Setting down Cook county at
$4,000, 900, we have an aggregate valu,
alton of Si78,ooo, 600 which is $780,
oe0.Oo0 more than the whole taxable
value OF lndianain 1850. The road pass
es through 6fteen county seats, many
eot them important centers of tradc ard
manufactures. At the mouth Of the Ri ,
Beaver it passes through cluster Of
manufacturing villages, second edition
Of Pittsburgh, with population Of 49,
iouo. Fort Wayne, most remarkable
railway center on its route, has a popula-
tion ot 10000. It passes through Mans
held, with population of $500, Canton,
1000. Salem, 2, 500 Crestline, 2,ooo.-
But it does not require the eye of sta
tistician to see that every acre within 90
miles Of such road will be valuable
aud durable customer So that, apart
oifom the immense commercial relations
OF its rapidly developing termini, this line
of road has local traffic which would of
itself justify its completion.
When the small hiatus from Allentown
to Clinton, Pa, now under contract, is
filed, there will be an unbroken road
from New York to Chicago, via Pitts
burgh and Fort Wayne, Of 885 miles,
having the advantage Of the New York
Central route by rs miles, and the New
York and Erie by 72 miles. That such
a road is good security for the sum it now
seeks is beyond the dependency of the
most inveterate ursa naoior to gainsay.-
With any ordinary prudence it must pay
good income on its cost as set forth in
the present I" ExhibH,"s till the country
itself goes to ruin and its life blood ceases
to circulate. We add from the above
documents statement of the lines ofl
railway intersected or met by the Pitts
burgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Road

Heartiess Seduction and Desertion of a
fi Girl.
We stated yesterday that he dress
making establishment of Miss Black, on
LoDgworth street, had been entered ear
ly in the morning and robbed of several
silk dresses. Itwas supposed the crime
had been perpetrated by some expert bur-
giar, rbut an investigation of the police.
led to the suspicion that the theft was
committed by some one well acquainted /;
with the Premises. Further inquiry
caused them to take into custody gfrl t
named Ellen Williams, who was in the n
employ of Miss Black. She at once con- i
fessed the robbery and gave up the goods. i
She IS only fourteen years OF age, and it 3
appears is the victim Of a base and heart t
less scduccr. /
Some two months. ago, she applied to G
Miss Black for employment, and was giv-
en- Situation. She was very ready with I
the needle, and was so industrious, and t
attentive to her business, so amiable and 1
gentle in her disposition that Miss Black {
soon became quite fond of her. Ellen,
however, was apparently in trouble, and
finally after much persuasion, confessed
to her employer. that she bad deserted S
good home and kind parents, and come to |
this city with a man, who had deceived
her. Sympathy retained the girl whose t
very face was the expression of inno- r
ocnce, in Miss Blacks employ, until she 1
voluntarily left, as rs supposed, through t
the persuasion Of Der seducer. The same f
influence, it is supposed. caused her to p
committhe crime OF yesterday. il
She did not seem to fully realize her Il
situation untilshe was placed in cell. t
She then wept ostgreyiously, and wish e
ed herself dead and in The grave. The a
mayor and others held interviews with "
her. and though she told them freely the h
history Of her wrongs, she withheld most a
the name Of the man who is Il
he author of all her misery. She SAYS b
she will suffer incarceration and even W
ieath before she will expose him. Her u
story is as follows:
She lived at or near Boston, Indiana,
With her parents. Her father is a far. Il
ner, and she was fourteen years of AGE m
ast January. AT home she became ac- 81
luainted with a young man, carpenter til
y trade, who persuaded her to leave her pa
,arents and come with him to this city.
'he came here, and for few days lived ne
appy with him, but he got out of mo- fa
ey ,aad would not go to work. She lie
ooked for and obtained employment, and th
lough she does not say SO, it is presum. rir
d That her villainoas seducer obtained at pr
'ast q portion Of her earnings. She re- M
ises to state why she committed the rob- tn,

She says Miss Black treated her with fun
Indness, that she appreciated it, and that Pc
le did not intend to wrong her. But ma
orse than all, she confessed, that young th,
} she is, she is now ina condition to b e.
