PomEROY COMPARED WITH OTHER
OHIO RIVER TOWNS.
We see our exchanges in Ohio, gener-
ally, are copying the census table, (the
same as we published last week, and
commenting upon the returns as COM
pared with the former population of their
counties, towns, and districts. In some
instances, also, we see the prosperity of
towns compared with others, as reflected
in the census.
Our district would suffer little by
comparison with any other in the State,
our county still less, and our town, we
believe, has increased more, in proper
ton to the number of inhabitants ten
years ago, than any other town in Ohio,
with the exception, probably, of few
points on railroads, which sprung up
rapidly to their full growth. We have
not the census of Pomeroy, ten years
ago, before US, but it was then far from
being considered the largest toaon on the
north bank Of the Ohio River Jet,oeen Gin
cinnati and Pittsburgh. But such is now
the fact. Wesee that the Ironton Register,
in alluding to Pomeroy, says "it includes
all the mining villages connected along
the Ohio River. locally known as Nyes-
vile, ,Middleport, Coalport and Sheffield"
So does Cincinnati include Fulton, Sc
damsville, CumminsTilIe, and host Of
other suburban towns. MinersviIle, how
ever, which is one of the ''mining towns
connected along the river is part of
Pomeroy, which is not included in the
census as part of it, and it would be i'm
possible for one not familiar with our
town TO know where the dividing line
between the places is, as there is a con-
tinuous string Of topn from one end to
the other But, Notwithstanding all the
mining districts are included, there is
less territory embraced within the corpo-
ration of Pomeroy than any other town
in Ohio with the same population. True,
it is between four aud five miles in
kHgth, but runs back only sh ort dis
tance.
Pomeroy, as compared with other
towns in Ohio, ranks as the 9th, and
with Ohio River towns, No. 1, as fol-
lows:
