q TIE RAILROAD

1t cannot but be appa ent that Greene
County has a job OF railroad on hands,
which nothing but prosecution to the
end, or criminal lassitude, will CIT off -
The meeting at Jefferson on FRIDAY last,
seems to have been embued with the
right spirit, and the friends Of the
measure are sargulne as to its final
completion. Wherever we hear il
spoken of, the railroad is viewed in the
proper llgh. A majority of the farmers
on the proposed Line OF route, and Others
distant, offer literally. Men heretofore
opponents are now its warmest advo.
Gates, Argument to convince the peo.
pie OF the utility and need of such an in>
stitu,ion has been rehearsed so often
that it becomes stale. We look at it
now in q common sense way. 1t puts
itself in the simple question, Shall we
aim to be anything or continue to be
nothing" A call has been made for a
meeting here on Saturday next and we
confidently hope that all preliminaries
will be closed and subscription books
for stock opened at once.

AN ENeLrsHMAN AMONG THE MoRMoNs.
Mr.. Bepworth Dixon, the editor of the
London At6eueuns, has in course of publi-
cation in London on account Of his trip to
Salt Lake, last summer, and of his observa-
tons in America is general The following
is passage touching Mormonism; "For a
man to have twenty boys and girls in his
house is a common fact. A merchant with
whom we were dining yesterday, could not
tell us the number of his children until he
had consulted book then lying on his desk.
One of his wives, a nice English lady
with the usual baby at her breast, smiled
sweet reproof on his ignorance, but the fact
was so, and if was only after counting and
consulting that he could give us the exact
return of his descendants. The patriarch Is
ss years old. Women, he reports, become
drudges, they are transferred to the kitchen.
They wear an unnatural calm. "They
never emile except with wan and wearied
look, and though they are all of English
race, we have never heard them laugh will
the bright merriment of our English girls.
And the practice Of marrying plurality
of wives Is not popular with the female
saints. Mr.. Dixon is emphatic on this point
and quotes from Conversations which h,
had with the women in corroboration.
