a strength of emphasis, conspired to

GEN. CAss.-One of the most in
teresting incidents connected with the
recent Railroad Celebration, was the
reception of Gen. Caas, at Marietta,
within a few feet of the very spot
where he landed over half a century
ago, to commence the battle Of life
amidst the perils and %privations Of
what was then known as the North
West Territory. What emotions
must have agitated the breast of the
old veteran, as he surveyed the vast
changes wrought in this region since
that period Filty-one years ago, he
represented Washington County in
the Legislature of Ohio. Then the
only modes of transportation known
in the west were by horses and wag-
ons on land and by fiat and keel boats
on the rivers. The General said, in
his response to the elegant reception
speech of Gov. Chase, that the pio-
neer steamboat builders, Me8srs. Full
ton and Livingston, about that time
made a proposition to the authorities
of Ohio, to establish a line Of freight
and passenger packets on the Ohio
River, and that it was laughed ont q
the Legislature! The General said
he was a young fogy then and an old
fogynow. The history of Fulton shows
that the General and his colleagues
were not the only persons who laugh
ed down the ''absurd idea," as it was
termed, of making a Roadway of foul
miles an hour up stream by the sim.
pie agency of steam.

"THE WICKED FLEE, &c.-Some

were to be summoned before the

tain violations of the statoOt." In
order to prevent such a consumma-
tion they incontinently sloped and
scattered in all directions. Some
pleaded important business at Athens,
ORillicotho and elsewhere others
kept travelling up and down the rail
road while q number rgralized in
the country, making friendly Sisits to
farm houses about meal times. Sew
eral had congregated at a certain rail
road station for dinncr-so the story
goes--and at the time the passenger
train arrived there, they were very
comfortably seated at dinner, satisfy
ing the cravings of the sinner man"
with a great deal of self c~omplaconcy
Their feast, however, was suddenly
interrupted by the appearance Of our
burly Sheriff on the platform Of one
of the cars. Forthwith, upon sight
of him, there was a general stampede.
Bread and butter and bolognas, not
withStanding their strong attraction,
were at once forgotten, and with hats
in hand and coat tails streaming in
the wind, the whole party made for
the brush at a Gilpin rate. They all
got home, safe and sound, when tie
