THE following should have
appeared last week but was
crowded. out:i
The meeting Of the Ohio, Val
ley Editorial Union, at Ironton,
on the 7th inst, was an occa-
sion both Of pleasure and prof
it. We were pleased to see so
many of the faces we had met
at Portsmouth, last January, as
we'll as the number Of new
faces, indicating that our Union
is destined to extend itself.
The meeting was called to
order at one o'clock, and dis
patched the business presented
harmoniously and promptly,
after which, upon invitation,
they visited the Belfont Fur
mace to witness the starting OF
their engines. This furnace is
entirely new, and very large
and compelte in all its details.
At five o'clock, the Union,
availing itself of the invitation
of Mr.. Richards, Sec'y of the
Iron r. R, started by special
train for a trip over the road.
The aLittle Etna," a miniature
locomotive, started promptly on
time, with one car attached, in
which was seated the editorial
craft. At first We doubted the
capacity of so small an engine
to draw SO heavy a load; but
soon found that it could run
with all the speed, whistle into
q station with all the dignity,
or scream at the cattle with all
the authority Of its larger breth.
rem, very much as we little
folks, who publish little papers,
in little places, sometimes talk
back to our larger neighbors.
We found the roadin good con-
dition, and finished to Centre
Station, a point ten miles from
the NJ. d q. r. r. But eight
thousand dollars remain to be
subscribed to complete the con-
nection, and We think that
amount will surely be raised
by so enterprising o people as
the Irontonians appear to be,
when we remember that du-
ring a great part Of the year
this road is their main depen-
dence for intercourse with the
outside world.
In the evening, after the con.
clusion of the business session,
The Union assembled around
he festive board, cur worthy
and venerable looking Presi-
dent, Col. Bond, at the head of
The table. And here let us say
it has never been our good for
tune to meet with so excellent
a presiding officer, he being,
indeed, the prince Of good fell
lows, and the fountain
head of our mirth, never for
an instant allowing the flow Of
nerriment to cease; his decis-
ons were given with a reckless
disregard for expense, and an
liter contempt for parliamenta.

Bro. Hood, of the Marietta
Times, though indisposed, staid
with US during the early part
Of the evening, convincing us
that his reputation as a relic of
antiquity arises alone from his
knowledge Of events in the
early history of the press
as we'll as our State. We
regret that his indisposition de-
prived the Union of the pleas
ure of hearing him sing Barbraa
Allen, a song, the very name OF
which throughout all this part
Of the State, brings to mind
Walter G. Hood.
Bro. Mackley, of the Jack
son Standard, who so ably set
forth the huckleberry and per-
simmon interest of his section,
down from the digni-
fed position he usually main
tains, and let us see a vein OF
humor flowing in a course un-
