AT meeting OF the stockholders OF
this road, at Marietta, on the 9th inst,
an efficient Board of Directors was
elected, headed by Hon, W. P. CUTLER,
and other measures inaugurated to
give success to the enterprise. We un-

friends of this important enterprise. af-

extend it down the river to Big Sandy,

been unable to secure in any other di-

road, and we should not be surprised
to see its accomplishment within five
wears.

The Ohio River Improvement survey
ing parties have concluded their field
work and returned home to Pittsburg.
The engineering parties have been dis

get rid of taxes short of a residence with
the "untaxed Indians" and we much

the Indians. Here is comparison of

CHARLES DICKENS ON WINE COUN-
RIEs.-The following from Dickens
is to the point, and he has good op-
portunities of knowing whereof he
speaks:
"The wine shops are the colleges
and chapels of the poor in France.
History, morals, politics, jurispru-
dence, and literature, in iniquitous
forms, are all taught in these colleges
and chapels, where professors of evil
continually deliver those lessons, and
where hymns are sung nightly to the
demons of Generalization. In these
haunts of the poor, theft is taught as
the morality of property, falsehood
as speech, and assassination as the
justice of the people. It is in the
wine shop the cabman is taught to
think it heroic to shoot the middle
class who disputes his fare. 1t is in
the wine shop the workman is taught
TO admire the man who stabs his faith
less mistress. 1t is in the wine shop
the doom is pronounced Of the en-
|ployer who lowers the pay of the en-
|ployed. The wine shops breed, in a
physical atmosphere Of malaria and
a moral pestilence of envy and venge-
ance, the men of crime and revolu-
ton. Hunger is proyerbially bad
counselor, but drink is worse"

Rum DoINGs.-On the 17th inst,
two men from St. Johnsbury Plain,
Horace Woods and Charles Quade
came to Winters Hotel, in Wheelock,
called for dinner and horse batting
and perhaps some of the "good crit
ter" after partaking of which they
became tumultuouS and undertook to
run the tavern in their own way
Quade took jug to the town agency
and by false pretences got quart of
whiskey, returned to the hotel and
treated all that were in. Among 9TH
ers he offered to treat the elected
landlord, but he, thinking that his
leases of the premises had not expir-
ed, ordered the offenders out, and not
complying with his request, complaint
was entered against them for disturb
ance Of the peace, and an assault on
the hostler, before Justice Silloway.
They were each fined $5 and costs,
amounting in all to $l6. After pay
ing up, Quade was 5arrested for OBJ
tanning liquor at the agency under
false pretences, proved guilty and
fined $40 and costs, making the ex-
penses of this "bum" about $50. 1t
is hoped this lesson will teach them
that Wheelock is in the State of Yer
mont, where the laws of the State
have been promulgated and that it is
an unsafe place to go to for spree

the Lacrosse Democrat on General

some time ago, and then proceeds to
paint "Brick" thus: = z1a5aH
aThe author of the above outrage
was born minus the moral attributes
of manly character. He is q thief,
liar, drunkard and wife beater, to our
personal knowledge. We have
known him to beat his wife and chill
dren numerically without provoca-
ton, and forbid the merchants to
trust them for the necessaries of life
while carousing in the dens of pros
titution. And such thing the lead

have known him to sing bawdy songs
and crack obscene jokes over the
dead remains of his friend and COM

in an attempt to drink gallon of
whiskey on wager, in the city of
Milwaukee. And we have heard him
curse the sun and and defy the power
that sustained it. We could chronicle
a thousand other instances, but it is
useless, as the extract we present
delineates the moral degradation OF
the wretch better than we are able
to do. 5 --r1 ra4lll:9. 81

The Mothers Prayer.
BY THEODORE TILToN.

With eager arms mother pressed
A laughing babe against her breast.
Then thus to heaven she cried in prayer;
"Now even as his face is fair,
o Lord! keep thou his soul within
AS free from any spot of sin."
From heaven the Lord an answer made
"Behold grant as thou hast prayed"
Within her door the darkness crept,
And babe and mother sweetly slept.
From belfry rang the midnight bell;
The watchman answered, "All is well !"
The mother, by the cradle side,
Awoke to find the babe had died.
With grief to set a woman wild,
She caught and clasped the marble child,
Until her heart against his own
Was broken, beating on a stonei
go God" she cried, in her despair,
"Why hast thou Knocked mothers prayerF
Then answered He, GAS have willed,
The prayer, o woman, is fulfilled!
If on the earth thy child remain,
His soul shall gather many stain;
At thy behest, stretch my hand,
And take him to the heavenly landr
The mother heard, and bowed her head,
And laid her cheek against the dead,
And cried, 40 God dare not pray
Thou answerest in so strange way"
In the shadow of a taper's light,
She mourned through all the livelong night /;
But when the morning brought the sun,
She prayed, 'Thy will, o God, be done p'

The Home Journal saws that MFR.

The Home Journal says that Mr..

their differences by agreeing to a per-
manent separation. It may not have
reached this unhappy point, but we
suppose it is likely to-at any rate,
they have not been reconciled, as was
earnestly hoped by their friends on
her return from Europe, and are not
likely to be. It is very certain they
were not made for each other and
found it out too late.
