MAHoNINe COUNTY.
From the Youngstown Register;


Rev. ]. H. Rylanee preached in the st.
Johns church, Youngstown, last Sabbath,
in the forenoon and evening.
The citizens of youngstown held a
meeting on the I'd inst. to meet the Presi-
dent and Directors of the Lawrence
Railroad, in order to devise ways and
means for the completion of the road
from Lowell to YOungtown. The chief
engineer of the road submitted a report
showing the general description of this
road, the prog ress of the work up to date,
and the amount Of money expended in
its construction from its eastern terminus
near Mahoningtown, to the Lowell
Furnace in Ohio:
The line of this Railroad begins at q
point on the Castle and Beaver Valley
Railroad, forty-seven miles by rail from
the city of Pittsburgh, then traversingthe
valley of the Mahoning a distance Of six
teen miles to the present terminus Of the
G. s. n. Railroad, which, from this point
to the village of Youngstown, has been
leased by this company of the A. & G.
w. Railway Company.
The whole length Of line between these
points is l6 miles, of which IL $40 miles
are tangent, 4 2-l0 miles are Of light cur
vature and Of short distances.
From the report it appears that the
railroad company has expended over
$500, 600, and that it would require about
1873, 600 to complete the grading, bridging,
masonry and right of way to and into the
village of Youngstown. The President
of the company stated that the company
had exhausted its in the COM
pletion of the road to Lowell, aud that in
order to run the road to Youngstown the
present summer 100000 would be re-
quired and further, that If the citizens
of Youngstown would procure the means
for the grading of the road-bed, that the
iron, &c, could be proc ured for the bonds
of the company, and the road be completed
by the lst of August. A committee was
appointed to solicit subscriptions either
for bonds or stock, and report at the
earliest time practicable, so as to ensure
the completion of the read to youngstown
the ensuing summer.
This part of the Mahoning valley,
which is traversed by line, is as yet
undeveloped, but abounds N minerals.
On nearly every farm is iron ore, coal,
limestone, fire clay and water lime. The
Mahoning Valley Coal Company at Sey-
mour's, have opened their mines and
menced shipping coal-w;ll soon be ready
to ship one hundred tons per day, and are
opening ere banks, some Of the most valu-
able in the valley. The Lowell Furnace
(owned by MeCreery & Co.. are now
ready to ship to and from the furnace n
hundred tons per day, and when the line
is opened to Youngstown the shipments of
gross freight, pig iron, &c, will exceed
five hundred tons per day. The Lowell
limestone, on which the Youngstown fur
naces depend, last year amounted to over
thirty thousand tons per annum.

The store of Mr.. Knisely, in Bueyrus,
was entered on Thursday night by bur
glars, who succeeded in blowing open the
safe, and got $3.50 for their trouble. Mr..
Knisely had deposited $500, the same eve
ming, which no doubt the thieves were
after.
During the present week not less than
1000 bushels of clover and timothy seed
has been sold in this market. A large
share of it was brought from adjoining
counties. The price of clover ranged from
Sc to 81, and timothy from $2.75 to S3.35
per bushel.
One day last week a young lady of this
place was skating on the river, when the
ice gave away and she went into the water
up to her neck. Not daunted by one mis-
hap, she went home, changed clothing,
and returned to the ice, when she met
with q similar accident. She then gave
it up for that day.

tfrOm In5 Oinslnnatl COMMERCIAL, rep. Sth-I
The will of Mrs. Martha A. Metcalf
was admitted to probate in this county,
Yesterday. The testatrix was a we'll
known courtesan, residing for some years
in this city, where she accumulated a large
amount Of property in the unhallowed
calling, in which many of her sex are
greedily pursuing the rewards which are
dearly earned, and little enjoyed. This
person has been indicted by grand juries,
and fined by judges, for violating the law
in her particular speciality; and, on u re-
cent occasion, avery mitigated penalty was
dealt put to her, in view of an apparently
solemn engagement to break up the snowy
style of institution she had inaugurated in
the western part of the city. But, though
sickness, and perhaps repentance, "the
weeping messenger Of grace from heaven"
may have made her feel the poverty of
riches, the establishment over which she
presided continued to flourish, and the
neighborhood toprotest and threaten.
In her will, executed on the 25th of
November, 1866, she leaves to h. w.
Broderick, as e token Of respect and
friendship, any article he may select from
her jewels. In q second item she directs
the sale of all her real and personal pro-
perty, including diamonds, but excepting
a gold watch and chain, and several silver
articles, to be converted into money, and
$1,000 of the proceeds to be given to her
brother; $1,000 to a nephew, and 81, 900 to
a niece, and the watch, &C., to a child she
was raising. A sodioil, dated January
2eth, is attached, and she states therein that
sha bod aipoa morriad w II 2 (ahova
mentioned(, and Increases the bequest to
her brother to $4,000, gives her niece
50, 1000, and $4,000 in trust, to a merchant
in Lexington, to invest in real estate for
the benefit of some Of her relatives;
81, 900 to a grand niece, and some few $500
legacies to other kinsfolk.

The Portage Register wisconsin
chronicles the death at Caledonia, Wis
consin, on the 27th ult., Of Joseph Crele,
born heal Detroit, Michigan, in l725,
and who had attained, therefore, the
amazing age of One Hundred and Forty
Years. He was born seven years before
George Washington, and was fifty years
old at the outbreak of the American Rev
o%lution, so that he might, wen then, have
claimed exemption from military service.
He was A years old at the birth of Napo-
leon I. He was 90 years old when the
Federal Constitution was formed, and 81
when Abraham Lincoln was born. We
know of but one longer life than his in
modern times, hat Of Parr, the English
man, who is recorded to have been born
in I4sS, and to have died in 1875, at the
ripe age Of l52. Crele's baptism is said
tc be on record in the French Catholic
Church in Detroit; SO that his age would
seem to be duly authenticated.-Neac

The ROeiproeIty business in Canada.

The reciprocity business IN Canada.
Montreal specials to the Toronto Globe
say;
The news about Reciprocity does not
cause much regret here. The demands
were too much, and the delegates unani-
mously declined them. They leave to-
day.
The Montreal Gazette says it does not
receive the news with feelings unmixed
with satisfaction. The greatest difficulty
was as to the extension of reciprocity to
manufactures. 1t is satisfaction, it says,
that long drawn out discussion and nego-
tiation are at length out of their misery,
and that these provinces will now have a
chance to feel their own resources. The
feeling of the Federal authorities which
moved their conduct was unfriendly, and
we shall simply have to legislate for u
own interests alone.
The Montreal Telegraph thinks the
country generally will be rather gratifed
at the result, and believes our unfettered
fiscal policy will be worth a good many
treaties.
The Montreal Witness blames the abuse
of our Press, and the e~ountenance lent to
Bank robbers, and perversions of justice
in their trial for the result. Still, that
cannot Justify the state of American feel
ing, as nothing but mutual interest and
Justice should govern such negotiations
Any desire to injure Canada is a con
temptible on the part of statesmen.
The other papers do not look upon the
result as much to be regretted.

rhe usirht OF Impudsnce.

1t will be remembered that a statement
was made by telegraph a few days since
that Raphael semmes, the pirate, had pre-
pared an argument in his own behalf and
submitted it to the President. The docu-
ment is published in the New York pa
pers. Semmes claims that he ought to be
released from arrest for the reason that he
was included in the surrender of John
ston's army to General Sherman, and pa
rolled with other Confederates, being
Hstyled and treated in the muster rolls
and other papers drawn up by both par
ties as a Brigadier General and Rear Ad-
miral." He says at the time, aud before
the surrender, he was commanding a brig
sde Of artillery in Johnston's army, and
argues, therefore, that his parole protects
him from disturbance by either civil or
military authority Of the government.
We merely state his position, withou! stop
ping to expose its u~nsoundness. He con-
cludes his appeal, or manifesto, or what
ever it may be called, with the impudent
assertion that whatever else may be said
of him, he has, at least, brought no dis
credit on the American name" The reb-
els, since their defeat, have not as a gen.
eral thing, displayed much modesty; but
this assertion of Semmes, who was nothing
more or less than a common pirate, is the
coolest piece of i~mpudence we can call to
mind. His exploits on the high seas con-
sisted of bouncing upon unarmed mer-
chant vessels, ana ~studiously avoiding
m~en-oi-war. And yetit will not be strange
if the Democratic press of the North at
tempt to justify his claim to be classed
among those who have brought no dis
credit on the American name" as they
have attempted to invest that double
traitor Robert E. Lee with attributes of
more than common goodness. Why is it
that men will be such fools?
