We stated last week that the congre-
CATION of Rev. II. r. Hoisington had held
8 meeting and resolved not to accept his
rendered resignation. We have since
learned that the statement we then made
was wholly unwarranted by the facts, and
that our infor nation, which we deemed
entirely credible, was purely imaginary
No such meeting had at that time, or has
since been called, and no action whatever
has been taken by the congregation. 1t
is due all concerned that q correction
should be made by US.
The New Castle pa Journal ofSat-
urday last contains the following in re-
gard to the new line of rail road soon to
be opened through this valley. It says
Yesterday friday parties laying the
rails were to meet and the continuous line
,ofrail from Pittsburg to Cleveland, by
way of the Mahoning Valley was cOnsum-
mated. The work on this road, notwith-
standing the extreme cold weather has
been pushed forward with energy, and in
a few days OF by the first of next month
trains will pass over the road regularly
We are not officially informed, but we
learn from areliable source, arrangements
have been made to run two through ex-
press trains daily, each way, between
Cleveland and Pittsburg."
1t is 10 be hoped the new route this n
will open to the east for shipping and re-
ceiving freights, will inure to the benefit
of merchants and manufactures, who
have been forced TO pay extreme rates
heretofore. 1t cost considerably more to
ship the anne amount and quality of
freight from Warren to New York than
from Cleveland te New York, although
Warren is about So miles nearer the sea-
board by the A. & G. w. R'y., than
Cleveland is by the same line.
