TIM Enert OF NSnr.

In his annual message, the President ad
duccs the number of vote, cast at the recent
election in comparison with the vote in the
same States in 1860, to prove that notwith.
standing the war the male population of the
country is on the increase.
In looking about in any ncighborhood we
can not fail to notice the absence of men
and the great disproportion between the
number of males and females. Wccannot,
in any locality, find SO many men as We
could three or iouryears ago. We find that
in Democratic localities the vote fell below
that of lS6o. We also discover that in
States the Democracy hoped to carry, like
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois. etc, the
vote is largely increased, and The increase i,
shown in abolition localities.
This evidence, and the difficulty in beiev-
ing that killing men makes them plentier,
would lead most persons to conclude that
the Presidents figures bear testimony Of
most outrageous election frauds having been
pcrpctratcd by his party.

A Beautiful Smile.

Hon. VIM. b. Reed of Philadelphia re-
Gently concluded an address in that city by
saying that he had attempted to keep his
mind and the minds of his audience away
from the terrible events which, as nation,
were crowding upon us but he felt like one
that walks on Nesuvius and sees along its
entire height, cleaning through crevices,
the burning lava, and does not know at what
Instant it will burst forth and swallow him
up. There was fable, which he had read,
Of an old man who, walking one day in a
peaceful valley, was startled by a prophetic
voice which told him that at the end ofthirty
days there would be three full days and three
dark nights of rain upon the earth That
every one upon whom the rain fell would be-
come mad, as would also their children -.
The voice told the old man to hide himself
in a cave for the space of three days of rain
and at the end thereof he could again visit
his former abode. At the end of the thirty
voice, entered the cave and remained there
the length of time in which the rain by
prophecy, was to fall At the end of that
time he came out and entered his accustom-
ed habitation but what change had come
over the land. He saw brother Staying
brother, and friend driving dagger deep
into the back Of friend The voice of
Christianity was rlised in eulogy of these
dreadful crimes. And as the old man look
ed upon them in wonder and in pity, he was
looked upon with suspicion. Hewas threat
ened with the prison house and with death
In despair he, too, plunged into the waters
which had covered them all, saying, in a
world otmadncss it is better to be mad than
to be wise. The speaker said suchis the IA
Bile, and the audience could make their COM
parisons.

The Railroad, 10 NIiliersburg.

1t is now a fixed fact, that the Railroad
from Mlllcrsburg to GAINESVILLE will be built,
within short period. But the route upon
which it will be built, is undecided. 4
casual glance at the map will show any one
that the town of Coshocton is not sure Of
being on the route selected, without strug-
gle. The route down Milcreck would, very
likely, cross above Roscoe and run through
Co,hocton. The killbuck route might run
close to Roscoe, and cross to this sidc-but
IS most likely to pass us on the other side
But, Coshocton and Roscoe are both in
danger Of losing it. The route from near
the mouth of Killbuck to Warsaw-thencc
up Simmons run and down Wakatomika
Is Il very direct, and is claimed to be the
most feasible route. Should that be select
-why-good night to Coshocton. The
neglect Of her citizens, lost the half fway
station and machino-shops Of the y. a. G.
road, and when the Eating House goes To
thrichsvile, she will he but way-station-
with a red flag hung out to stop the train
for stray passenger, Roscoe would still
have her Mill-but with a station at War
saw, it would not amount to much. If the
new road runs by the Tomika route, War
saw becomes the most Important point in
the county. 1t is a beautiful locations
ccntraI-haS water power and coal-and
would soon claim the county scat-and the
people, by that time having lost all sympa-
thy for the dronCs in toshocton vote
to 20 to Warsaw. This is no idle stretch of
imaginaton--thc people of the county are
really ashamed of Coshocton. They are
compelled to do their official business here
and when they come, they would like to
find better markct-larger assortmcnts of
goods to select trom--mOre competition
