A "WALE" From MAHoNING COUNrY.-A
railroad was completed to New Lisbon, O.,
last August, whereat the people rejOiced
very much. The Mahoning Register, in
noticing the Civilizations, thus refers to the
New Lisbon peoples feelings afterwards
But alas, the next day the New Lisbon
ties were Sin the minds eye, Horatio.'
There was the railroad, to be sure, but
where were the trains? Week after week
they waited for the snort of the iron horse,
but not a snort did they hear. At last they
tell their tale of disappointment in the col
umns of the Buckeye State, and ask that a
freight train be granted them. give, oh
give US a freight train they implore. They
call to the minds of the directors all the
money they have spent in buying the right
of way and grading the road, and draw a
narrowing picture of the miseries of haul
ing their freight over the bad roads Of

all familiar with the books in the recorders
Office knows that this General Index" as
required BY law to be kept, is great public
convenience. and that it is almost impossible
for the recorder or any body else to find any
particular record unless this set of books is
kept posted. The keeping of these books is
part of the recorders business, and when
man pays for recording deed the fees in
clude indexing also,-so that, if the recorder
does his duty the county is not taxed for the
work. But the law also provides that, if,
from any cause, the books are neglected, the
present recorder is authorized to bring them
up and the county must pay for the labor
The result is that the county will now have
to pay for seven years neglect of duty of
Mcneil and Thompson.
Wewill, at present, allude to only one 9TH
er matter of neglect of duty in that Office,
viz: The Entry Book" has not been kept
at oil for ten gears This is book in which
the recorder is required to enter, as received,
the title of every deed, and the names of the
parties. For the convenience of the public
it is a very important book, as every man
who calls at the recorders can see at once
what deeds have been left for record. II is q
sort of bulletin for the publi,, saving many
useless questions and much annoyance. Not
an entry has been made in it for ten years
until Mr.. Hodges came into office, since which
which time it has been properly kept.
1t is our belief that Mr.. Hodges will make
the best clerk and recorder the county ever
had. But it is unfortunate for him that he
has to do the neglected work of Mcneil and
Thompson, much of which there is no pro.
vision for paying him.

TIE RECoRDER's OFFICE.-Our readers
will remember that, last fall we gave express
sion to the complaints in regard to the very
slack manner in which the public business
was conducted ia the recorders Office, and
among other things, stated that the record
ing of deeds was some four months or more
behind that people were required to pay
the recording at the time they left their
deeds, but could not get the work done for
four or six months-in fact did not knew
when it could be done. Mr.. Hodges, the
new recorder, at once set about bringing up
the neglected work of the office. He en-
ployed as many clerks as could work at the
books, and, part of the time, had double
set of clerks, one set working by day and
the other at night. Happening in his Office
Thursday morning, Mr.. Hodges alluded to
the matter, and showed us that there were
then only five deeds in the Office which were
not recorded, and said those would be recorded
before night. We may, therefore. say that
the deeds are all recorded. and in future
will be recorded as fast as received. We
think the number of deeds unrecorded, when
Mr.. Hodges was elected, was about 800,
the fees on all of which had previously been
paid to Mr.. Thompson. This money now
has to be returned to Mr.. Hodges by DR..
Bowman, the late clerk, whose deputy Mr..
Thompson was. There are many other things
which have been managed equally bad, under
the administrations of Mcneil and Thomp-
son, but which will be corrected by Mr..
Hodges. For instance: The General In
dex" of deeds recorded, consisting of two
sets of books, one for "Grantee" and one FOX
"Grantor" hare been sohosly neglected for ocer
seoen years! Not an entry has been made
in them for over seven years! Any one at

DoN'T TEAR Your LINEN.-The Union is
quite "obstreperous" over the following sem

adoption of the constitutional amendment by

amendment came before our legislature one half
OF the democratic members voted for it."
As we wrote it it read lone half of the
democratic senator's, "but the compositor sin
advertently" set it ''members," and the proof
reader Inadvertently" omitted to correct it.
We are much obliged to our fretty neigh
Dor for calling our attention to it, thus giving
US an opportunity to correct an error 'inad-
vertently" committed. Should our printers
ever Inadvertently" commit another error
of the sort, or our proof reader "inadvertent-
