r., U. s. & G. Railroad.
Deeming it of great Importance
that our people should know the
sentiments of other localities, in re-
gard to the proposed Railroad, we
give below numerous extracts from
our exchanges, to the exclusion OF
much other matter. It will be seen
that the Keuton Democrat speaks OF
Upper Sandusky and Marion as
'small villages That's rich de-
cidedly:
FROM the Marion independently
Col. Williams and III. 7. Van Fleet
Esq, represented Marion County at
the last mentioned meeting at To
ledo, and they say we can get the
road through here if we will raise
sufficient money. The ''Air Line
alone will not win. The Toledo
and the Columbus business men
want something more substantial
If the ''Air Line or something as
near that as possible, can be attaiined
with as large sum of poney at.
tached in the shape of stock, as
upon any other line, then all right,
but if the money is not forthcoming
then good bye to the Air Line. The
business upon line will also have
something to do with the location
of the road Ia that view we are all
right. Delaware, Marion, Upper
Sandusky and Fostoria can certainly
do double as much for road in the
way of business, as Marysville. Ken
ton and Findlay. The road by our
line will be shorter than by the 9th
er line, and consequently will be far
less costly.
We believe it is absolutely neces-
sary for the people on the line thro'
Delaware, Marion, Upper Sandusky
and Fostoria to hold a meeting at
an early day so that we may work
understandingly and in concert
The corporators will soon expect
the different proposed lines to be
surveyed and the stock to be sub
scribed. Let us be awake to our in
terests and work to secure the route.
Shall such meeting as above sug-
gested be held? Ii so, when and
where

From the Bucyrus Journal]
A meeting, very respectable in
numbers, and enthusiastic in spirit
was held at the Court house, in Bu-
cyrus, on last Wednesday evening
for the purpose of taking measures
to secure the construction Of the
Toledo and Columbus R R. through
our town. This road is a continue
ton of the Hooking Valley Rail

section through which it passes

B Findly and Gen. S. Myers was
also appointed to confer with the
citizens IF Gallon, Melnore, and
other points through which the road
may pass, and obtain, if possible, a
effort i'm the matter.
fFrom the Kenton Republican,
The character Of the men who have
engaged in the enterprise is suffi-
cient guarantee that the road will be
constructed on some one of the pro-
posed lines. We notice that one of
the articles ofineorperation is named
the Toledo and Kenton Railroad
Company; but whether the route is
