THE WARNoCK's PIKE.--The Com
missioners on Saturday confirmed the
appointment Of DR. j. NJ. Mitchell as
Engineer of the proposed turnpike from
st. Clairsville to Warnock's Station,
Central Ohio II. II. DIR. Mitchell was
appointed Engineer last Fall, but owing
to a want of action on the part of the
Commissioners and the application for
injunction lately pending in the Com
mon Pleas, could do nothing. We hope
the Commissioners will give him the
means to commence the work at once.
We understand Col. John Thompson,
of Moundsville, has thrown off all the
damage allowed on his land, and that
Robert Thompson and VIM. Chambers
have each thrown off one-half the dam
age claimed by them on their lands. The
damages claimed now amount to 81 OPS
5000 Of which is on the Lash farm.
Speaking of the necessity of this work
the GAINESVILLE Enterprise, of last week,
says:
We notice, in late number of THE
BELMONT CHRONICLE, an nintimation that
the proposed pike from Warnock's to
st. Clafrsville is likely to fall through
The people of the Western part of the
County have no objection, and in fact,
are in favor of the County Seat remain
ing at st. Clairsville for all future time ;
but they insist that some better means
shall be provided for getting to and from
that place. By ordinary public convey
ance it requires about the same amount
of time to go from GAINESVILLE to st.
Clairsville that it does to go from Barnes
vile to Cincinnati.
To the people living in st. Clairsville
and along the proposed pike we say, that
if they have any interest i'll retaining the
County Seat, the Warnock's pike must
be6uitt, or the question of removal is
cate the contemplate meanness of the
parties living along the proposed route,
who, by claiming eXOrbitant damage,
will defeat the proposed improvement ;
but let fault be where it may, the pro-
posed pike. should by all means be made.
