posed 70 have been the work of an incendia-
~, occurred on the night Of the oath ult., on

gether with a number Of out-buildings also
q new stable and its contents, with stack Of

FATAL AccIDEET.-0n Saturday last, Sam
uel Burton, Jr., residing in Goshen town
ship, Mahoning county, was thrown from a
horse and so severely injured internally, that
he lived but a few minutes. His remains
were brought to Salem for interment.-Sa-
lem Republican.
THE butternut meeting which was an
nouuced to come off at the Court House on
last Saturday evening, hszIed out completely.
The crowd failed to appear, and in conse-
quence, the orator Of the evening not having
any great desire to speak to empty benches,
the meeting was indefinitely postponed. The
butternuts cannot get up a meeting in town
among themselves, and consequently when
they want to have little Copperhead spout
ing, they have to call on the reserve force in
the county.-Nei0 Lisbon Buckeye State.
HOK. LUTHER DAY.-The Union COnven-
ton in the Summit and Portage District
nominated Judge Luther Day, of Ravenna,
for Senator. The selection is an exesllent
one, and bis election by the people is certain.
His antecedents are Democratic, but he is
loyal supporter of the Government, and goes
for putting down the rebellion. He is q man
Of eminent ability, and sterling principles,
and will be an honor to his District War
ren Chronicle.

new Machine shops for that road which are
being erected at that point. large num-
Der of hands are at work excavating, quar-
rying, stone-cutting, ETC., and the northern
wall of the Car House was nearly ready for
the water table. The walls of the various
structures are to be Of fine, firm quality of
sandstone, of which there is great abund-
auce in the immediate vicinity, and of the
mammoth dimensions
The Car House, directly in front Of the
railroad track, is to cover space of two hun
dred and twenty five feet in length, by one
hundred and fifty six feet in width, seventy
five feet of the west end to be two stories, or
twenty feet in height above the base,

together with the numerous other shops and
dwellings, that will be needed by the compa-

erected upon land donated for that purpose,
by Mr.. Kent, some nine years ago, about one
half mile below the covered bridge, upon
the south side of the river, and when finish
