LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW RAILRoAD.-Pursuan to call,
large and enthusiastic meeting Of our
citizens convened at Templar Hall last
Friday evening. The meeting was or
ganized by calling T. P. MYERS to the
Chair, and electing W. (. MOORE Sec
retary. The advantages to be derived
from this road were fully set forth by
several gentlemen, and a Committee,
consisting Of V. It, Hills, r. o. Brown,
J. D. Van Deman, Jas. A. Barnes. J. R.
Hubbell, c. f. Bradley and J. C. Evans,
was appointed. The duties ofthis Com
mittee were to take the entire matter
in charge, gather all information fav-
orable to the road, and ascertain what
our citizens were able to do in the way
of raising the $50, 900 worth of uncondi-
tionaI stock to be taken by Delaware
County. After instructing the Com
mittee to report at another meeting on
Tuesday evening, the meeting adjourn
ed. The commtttee Immediately pro-
oeeded with their work, called meetings
in the various townships through which
the line passes and sent a sub commit
tee to Mt. Vernon to ascertain the state
of affairs there and one to Columbus to
ascertain the prospect OF the passage by
the Legislature Of the bill transferring
the WaIhonding canal to the new rail-
way company, which committees were
to report Tuesday evening. The COM
miJtee also opened subscription papers
and succeeded in obtaining almost a
third of this townships apportionment
by Saturday evening.
On Tuesday evening, another large
meeting was held at Templar Hall,
with J. D. VAN DEdAN in the Chair
and J. HYATT Secretary. The com
mittee reported the following ap-
portioument of the unconditional stock
required from the county: Della
ware must take S25, 600; Brown, S., 900;
Kingston, $4,000, and Porter $4,000.
The gentleman sent to Mt. Vernon, re-
ports that the people of that city are
wide-awake about this new railway
line, favor the route Uja Delaware, and
have the S80, 600 in unconditional stock
required from Knox County pledged
every dollar Of it will be subscribed as
soon as the Company's books are open
ed. The committee sent to Columbus
reported that the bill transferring the
canal had passed the House by a very
large majority, and there seems to be.
no question but that the Senate will al
so take the same action. Opportuni-
ties were given for all in attendance at
the meeting to pledge the amount of
this unconditional stock they We're will
4 ling 10 take, which was responded to in
4 a very liberal manner and SO large a sum
secured as placed the question ofraising
sur appOrionment beyond shadow Of
! Whio3oubt. Indeed at the time we write
as Wednesday evening" pledges for near
three -fourths of the entire amount
ave been obtained. The meeting hnaI-
adjourned, subject to the call of the
plnmIttee. Delaware has come up to

the advent ola sheep shearing machine
in that vicinity.
BY the politencss of Messrs Cushing
d Boynton we yesterday had an Oppor-
tunity of observing the operation of
shearing sheep by machinery, the
machine used being that manufactured
at Nashua, n. H., by the American
Sheep Shearer Machine Manufacturing
Company. TO operate the machine re-
quires two men, or man and boy, one
to hold the sheep and guide the cutter,
and the other TO turn the wheel. For
this latter purpose a small boy is as good
as man. The cutter operates upon the
same general principle as the moving
machine, differing only in that it re-
wolves, while its attachment to the
frame, being by means of two universal
joints, renders it capable of being held
in any position desired. 1t is claimed
that the machine can do the work OF
two or three men, and we presume il
might in the hands of an experienced
| operator lacking such man Yesterday
it was, of course, working at great dis
advantage. Perhaps no better flock
than that of Messrs. Gushing and Boyn
ton could be found Oh which.to test it, as
1 they combine the very best condition
of carcass with the heaviest tieeces, the
former being very important consider
alton if machinery is 10 be used fol
shearing. But while the process Of
shearing was novel and interesting, the
wool taken from the backs of our neigh
bors' sheep is a sight far more rich ant
enjoyable. Such eveness, delicacy o.
color and texture, length and strength
of staple, in so large flock, are very re
markable, and are the result only of carr
and labor. They shear this season
about 400, and the number of fleeces
taken at random, which exceed tel
pounds in weight is, we had almos
said, innumerable. On Tuesday 81 O
the flock were sold, and started for Mis-
