LOCAL PArERs.-There are many persons
who either take no paper at all, or else take
one from distant city, and when they wish
to see what is trauspiring in their OWL
neighborhood, they beg or borrow the local
paper from some citizen more liberal thar
themselves. Many men of this kind are
engaged in business and frequently grumble
because people do not patroniEe home
industry" when they practice the very
same thing of which they complain.
Recollect that if home paper is to bs
supported, home influence must do it.
Every dollar sent for foreign paper is al
the expense of the local journal. A towr
acquires prominence through its pspel
more than any other way, and to every one
who has an interest in his town at heart his
home paper is necessity. Never will such
man take paper from home until he is
able TO take second paper. His first pa
per viii be his home sheet; he will 80 iden-
tify his own interest with that of his home
paper, as to consider his subscription az
mnch matter of duty as the payment o.
his taxes.

wOnIAN,s RIGHTS.

Lately we received paper called the
Reuolgtion, published in some Eastern
city by ELIzABETH CADY STANTON and
others of the ''strong.minded" sister
hood with the request to 'please
notice." We "notice"that the paper is
deeply muddled in politics, claiming to
be Republican, Democratic, anti-"nig-
ger" anti-hquor, opposed'tO thewhisky-
ring, in favor of the whisky-ring, op-
posed to Impeachment, in favor of i'm
psschment and blatant for woman's
rights and George Francis Train. The
woman's rights matter, as we look at it,
may be summed up as follows: If the
women of America want the right of
suffrage; if they need it to repair or
prevent wrongs to their persons, prop
erty or feelings; in short ifthere is any
earthly reason why they should have
thei right TO vote-they will get it
But they don't want it. If they had
the right they wouldn't exercise it and
it wouldn't benefit them if it were free
ly granted. To. call this matter, there
fore, an important question, or any
question at all, is stuff. The laws, if we
mistake not, of all the States-certain-
ly of all the Northern States-secure
to women all the rights and privileges
in regard to their improperly that are
enjoyed by men. If they are taxed
without representation they are granted
immunity from cares and burdens in
other respects from which. no sound
man is released. Education and the
avenues of trade are open to women as
well as men. There is no honorable
employment, now, thanks to the pro
gress Of genuine civilization, suited to
the capacities and strength and pecu-
liarities of women, from which they are
excluded. We confess to being just old
fogy enough to dislike the whole class
of female stump speakers, and to be-
lieye most thoroughly and earnestly in
the old-fashioned doctrine that woman's
sphere" is Home-her first, last, high
est and hottest duties the care of home
and friends, husband, children, father,
mother, brothers and sisters-house-
keeping with its multifarious details,
and the education of her children.
Happy are those who are placed by cir
cumstances above the necessity of work
ing for wages; who have means to sat
isfy their wants, and good sense and
honor and education to carry them
through the world comfortably. And
the poor or those in moderate circum-
stance need not be unhappy while
earning a livelihood in any of the
thousand pursuits of honest industry
which an enlightened public opinion
has thrown open 10 women as well as
to men.

THEIR1yKR IMPROVEMENT

We learn from Mr.. Z. w. AMsDEE,
U. S. Inspector, that the work of dredg-
ing Whitaker bar, in the Sandusky
river, has been finished. The number
of cubic yards of dredging on the bar is
S7,es6, at27c per yard. Including the
dredging at the warehouse, about half
the appropriation of $4,000 has been
expended. The channel at Whitaker
bar is 20 feet wide with from 10 to IL
feet Of water at the present low stage.
The Government dredge yesterday
moved to the mouth Of the river, where
it viii take offsome sharp elbows and cut
channel through the lower bar 80 feet
wide, which will give 10 feet of water
there. When completed, which will be
early in July, boats drawing 9 IL feet
can come to this port with perfect safe
ty in low water. p 9alii>7a

The Eastern Road.


The Toledo papers state that the Rail.
road meeting held there last Saturday
veniag was well attended by capitalist,
and business men. JoHNsR OspouN wac
calledto the chair and stated the objects o.
he meeting. He said.
1t was at one time expected that the
several Railroad interests here and at the
East would furnish the means requisite
for the proposed road, but owing to subse.
quent events this dependence had in a
measure failed, and it now devolved upon
the people along the line, acting with the
Toledo roads, to do the work, the initiatory
steps to which win rest with the local in
terests. The President had been in con.
sultation with citizens of Tifin, Norwalk
Sandusky, and other points on the different
routes proposed, all Of whom were anxious
to secure the advantages of the road.
Upon parting with A. Boody, ESQ, Pres
ideut of the Toledo d Wabash Road at
Akron, a few days since, that gentlemrn
stated that if the local interests of any
practicable route would raise S5COOOO in
stock. he would see that the Road was
built aud stocked ready for business. The
speaker had no doubt that one-half that
sum could be obtained from points outside
this city. -7'.a
On motion of DR. Scorr, a series Of res.
olutioDs were adopted, from which we make
the following extracts. ,i,-
ResolUed. That TO accomplish this enter.
prise SO necessary to our assured future
growth as city, q company be at once
organized, subscription books opened, and an
energetic force got to work to develop the
line.
Resolved. That an Executive Committee
of fifteen be appointed, of which six shall
constitute a quorum for. business, whose
duty it shall be to perfect an organization,
open books of subscription call meetings,
when and where thought necessary, to
promote the objects in view, employ agents
organize engineer corps to examine propo-
sed lines, in fact, have the general super
vision of the enterprise, until such time as
the company can be fully organized under
the law !. y .r g
RESOLVED. That as at present. advised the
route via Woodville and Fremont 10 Wads-
worth or Seville, in Medina county, is re
garded very favorably, the location b.
ever, subject to such notifications wv
changes as actual surveys, engineering, and

other routes may suggest. WIS and
mr. ossoRN said that he was rscer,t,v
assured by Mr.. L. D. RuoKER, sune,;n

operation coal could be delivered at Toledo
at as low rates as at Cleveland.
