the longest. The best author we have

As. or so feet. Of course in cleaning
and stuffing they will stretch some,

we consider is as much as can te done

PRoTRACTED MEETINGS. - The
United Brethren have been holding a
protracted effort in our place, during
the past week, and we regret to say
without any success further than its
moral influences. How long they will
yet continue is unknown to the writer.
Rev. Messrs. Flack and Wonders are
presiding, and both laboring very
earnestly. Under this head we feel
it our duty to speak of the success of
Rev. Mr.. Hill, of the so:called Camp
bellite denomination, in series of
meetings, held by him in our place
some weeks since. Mr.. Hill labored
with us under somewhat adverse cir
cumstances, but success seemed to
crown his every effort and he has Or
ganized q church here, consisting of
twenty one or more members.
Business has improved somewhat
since the improvement in the weather
and the roads. Yet there does not
seem to be that activity in the trade
that there was earlier in the Winter.
However we cannot expect our har-
vest to last all the year. d
"IN LIFE PREPARE FOR DEATH ~
The importance carried with this
quotation, has again been brought to
our minds. In our last weeks items
we spoke of our old friend and fellow
townsman C. $. Wilkinson, going out
of business here and retiring to his
farm in the country. At the writing
of our last his entire family was well,
but in less than week we find the
family in grief over the loss of an af.
ectionate mother. She was taken sick
on Saturday night, the 18th inst, with
lung fever, and constantly grew worse
until on Thursday following she died.
Her spirit, we believe, has gone to
reap the reward of a christian life
Mrs. Wilkinson leaves kind hus.
band, three children, and many
friends to mourn her loss.

SWindIing the Farmers.

1t is reported that a gigantic SWIM
die is being unearthed at Adrian in
which number of farmers have
been swindled out of sums varying
from $50 to 5000. 1t was done by
getting them to give their notes con-
ditionally, the conditions being writ
ten on the back of the note across
one end, and the conditions then
being torn or cut off, leaving clear
note, and then being sold. One
John C. Catten has been arrested and
held for examination at Adrian, on
the 10Th, for attempting to sell one OF
these notes msde by D. Lewis, OF
Cambridge. to De- Witt Clark OF
Adrian. The patent for which these
notes we're given is "The Young
American Grain Binder" Another
of the swindlers, it is stated, has been
arrested at Hudson for selling one oil

PROM FOREST.
BEING q reader OF vour nsner an

Being reader OF your paper, and
seeing items from different towns
published therein, 1 wish to give peo-
pie some idea of our village which is
rightfully named Forest. 1t is situ-
ated at the junction Of the Cleveland,
Sandusky & Cincinnati, and p, Ft.
W. & c. R. Rs, and we have one of
the finest depot buildings on either
road.
As regards the business Of Forest,
we have two good hotels, one bowl.
lath and shingle factory, good steam
saw mill, two dry goods stores own
ed by tolerably honest men. who like
to make money by attending to their
ewn business !; one first class drug
store. one wholesale collar shop, and
have also many good mechanics. We
have but one grocery where an arti-
Gle can be got without getting a dram
first or second-handed. OF slobber
shops, or saloons, We have four or
five, of which the less said the bet
ter. A neat church has has Just been
completed, which is q credit to any
aforest." We have one resident eler-
gyman whom we consider as good as
the best, and numerous excellent doc
tors, from whom all manner of dis
eases slightly "git." Singular as it
may seem we have no lawyers, and
flatter ourselves that we are too hon.
est to need those "purveyors on the
money of honest men," During the
year 1868 We expect to do large
amount of building and hope that our
town will flourish like a green forest.
Forest is bound to become place of
more than ordinary attractions, of
which persons hunting places to 10
should make a note.

The following is the reply of Pres
ident Rawson to the above questions:
l.. F. & L. r. r. OFFicE,(
Fremont, Jan. 6, '6S.
Messrs. Bell, Jones, Eaton and DOac
ling:
SIRs II received your note con.
tanning a large number of questions
in relation to this Company. You
will find answers to many of your
questions in the last published re-
port of this Company, which you have
in your possession, which 1t is unnec-
essary to repeat, and to which ] refer
YOU for answer. Some changes have
been made in the condition of the
Company since that report was issued
which l will state and / will answer
your questions so far as is necessary
for parties proposing to raise money
to aid in opening more of this Road
The floating debt is Eight Thou
sand Dollars.
Fifty-nine miles of this Company's
Road is now ironed and operated,
to- wit 81 in Ohio and % in Indiana.
The accounts for ironing and bal
lasting the % miles in Indiana have
not been closed and consequent
ly have not been carried into our
books. This is to be paid for in
bonds secured by mortgage on that
part of the road in Indiana.
Our construction account stands
thus:
Stock issued .$S40. .250
Bonds on Ohio Division. 500 600
There has been expended In Indiana
in purchase OF right OF way and
grading .-...-..-.--..-- -----.---. .41V,VOV
And in Ohio between Findsy and st.
Mary g.. SVVicVO
Amounting to the sum Of. $3.50, 900
All paid in stock and leaving bal
ance of stock applicable to the Road
between Fremont and Findiay off, 100 900
To this add for cost of this "a miles
the bonds AS above. 100000
Total. .soSO,oVV
The whole cost of the Road now
represented by stock and bonds be-
tween Findlay and Fremont is only
$500, $50. This is far less than this
thirty-seven miles of road cost when
built it is far less than it could be
built for now, and is far less than it
would be worth if the whole Road
was completed. This being the fact,
notwithstanding the Road pays no
net profit in its present unfinished
condition, and without any through
connection, appreciate the object of
your 18th question and in answer
thereto say think the present hold
ers of Stocks and Bonds will see the
justice of the demand, and if request
ed will cheerfully transfer them to
the parties bringing new money to
the Company, on being paid what
they cost them. This certainly would
place all parties ON an equal footing,
and if there is any profit to berea.
lized On the present securities by
reason of the extension of the Road
it is right new parties should be al
lowed to share in that profit.
