The MahOning Road.

At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Cleveland and Maho-
ming railroad, on Thursday, January
18th, the following officers and board
of directors were chosen:
President-Joseph Perkins.
Secretary-GeOrge Mygatt.
Directors-Joseph Perkins, Reuben
Hitchcock, Dudley Baldwin, Charles
Smith, Frederick Kinsman. H. B.
Perkins, John Tod, James Magee, r.
w. Cunningham.
An important and interesting step
was taken by the stockholders TO
sustain very unanimously the action
of the board in protesting against the
transfer of the Cleveland and Maho-
ming road to the Erie interest by the
Atlantic and great Western railroad
company, which company, rs is well
known, holds a lease of the Cleveland
and Mahoning road. The new board
was further authorized to take legal
measures to receive full control of the
Cleveland and Mahoning road and its
fixtures, it being claimed that under
the laws of Ohio the Atlantic and
Great Western railroad company has
forfeited its claim to the Cleveland
and Mahoning road by attempting to
transfer 1t to a corporation located
outside of the State. Altogether, it
is a very interesting phase of the
grand campaign against Erie, and we
shall watch its development with
more than ordinary interest.-Gepe-
land Leader.

BrOOkGeld. Railroads, Coal, &c.

Mr. EDITOR We see numerous
articles in the papers about the rail-
road to Vienna coal fields, but don't
see anything about a railroad to Brook
field. the Warren people should
think only of building a railroad to
Vienna and not extending it to Brook
field, is what we can't see into. By
building a railroad from Warren to
our coal fields, you would take the
Otis Coal Company's shaft, which
ships in the neighborhood of 200 tons
daily, Brookfeld Coal Company's
works, which ship about 800 tons
daily, and the Apologize Bank, which
sends off over 200 tons daily, and the
Ira Clark Bank that would ship SO
tons per day, besides other coal that is
not opened yet.
All this coal could be had at War
rem, only twelve miles distance, pro-
vided you would build the railroad.
L think our citizens would take stock
in the road, provided it would come
TO this town. And instead of the
Brookfield coal going to Cleveland by
the way OF Youngstown, it would go
direct by the way of Warren. and
saw yer Is miles of useless freight
Let the citizens of Warren wake up
TO their own interests, and see if our
county seat car in time be a great
manufacturing city, instead of a one
horse butter and cheese town-and in
stead of the n little rolling mill,
doing nothing) you would have nu-
merous furnaces and rolling mills do
ing q good thriving business, paying
out hundreds of dollars to labOrers.
Your property would advance double,
aud instead of the Yankee butter and
cheese, you would have plenty of
black diamonds (coal and iron.

Mr.. EDITOR Il see by the proceed
ings that the Legislature of State
is flooded with petitions, asking the
legaliZation of a higher rate of inter
est than the rate now fixed by law.
1t seems to be a conceded fact that
the present rate, is as much as men
in various branches of business can
afford to pay for money to do business
with, and l think the net profits OF
our merchants and manufacturers,
take them in the aggregate, will not
amount to wen that small sum. MOI
do our farmers make six per cent. on
the value of their farms and fixtures,
by cultivation.
Now as it is the agricultural, the
manufacturing and the commercial
interests, that is the foundation of all
our prosperity as u community, and
the present rate is all that either of
these branches can afford to pay, and
as many of the most enterprising in
all these pursuits are borrowers, Will
not a higher percentage of interest
directly cripple each of these inter
ests, and thus sap the very foundation
of our prosperity?
And what are we TO receive in re-
turn for the injury thus inficted-for
this sprag stuck in the wheel of our
progress?
Simply, q law-encouraged, nOnpro-
ducing class, whose chief business is
to fatten, financially upon the
necessities and misfortunes OF their
fellow men. Substantially, the rich
made richer, and the poor poorer.
If this be a desirable result, let us
have the change made Immediately.
We all know that money now
eXerts an undue influence in society,
that wealthy men who have nothing
but their wealth to recommend them,
matter how they obtained it have,
generally, more influence in public,
than better, and more talented men
have without wealth. Our ambitious
young men see this, and bsnd all
energies TO become rich, aud are,
100 often, INSCRIPTIONS as TO the
means employed, to accomplish their
end. Our business and business men,
manufacturers and mechanics, are,
by day, becoming o and more
Inder the control of the capitalist, 5
md it has already reached the point j
many cases, when the beck, or the I
lod of some tyranical nabOb shuts ]
If the steam, and stops the wheels of i
ne factory, or closes the merchants
IOors, and forces the unfortunate
iwners into bankruptcy and poverty. '
And yet, with this immense power, {
money is asking ut the hands of our L
lw-makers special privileges. s
Like the hOrse-leech of old, crying 3

erO, asking, ''more! more" b
If 1 were a moneyed man, profess il

Railroad Items.

The question whether the Maho,
ming Road can be released by the A,
& G. w. Co., to the Erie Road, is be.
ing agitated.
An engineer, from the Erie Road,
was in town Saturday and Monday,
and went over the proposed Vienna
road in company with some of our
citizens. We are informed that Mr..
Jay Gould will be in town some time
this week, to finish up the business in
regard to the Ashtabula & New Lis
bon Road, and look into the matter
of the Vienna Road.
The prospects of our town in regard
to the latter road are Frightening
somewhat. As will be seen by our
township correspondence, the people
of Vienna, Brookfield, and the adj
joining coal region, favor the Warren
route, and it only remains for our citi-
zens to take the matter in hand, and
go to work with energy, and the road
will be ours, the superciliousness
and braggadocia of the Youngstown
press to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. A glorious future is open to us,
and if we neglect the opportunity we
shall richly deserve the fate which
will be melted out to us-that
of sinking into comparative insignifi-
canoe.

Good News to Travellers.

1t is reported that the Erie Railway
Company have got a controlling
interest in Pittsburgh and CLEVELAND
R. r. stock, and by virtue of tn,
power thus obtained will immediately
lay a third rail on the p. & C. roaC
from the Newburgh crossing, which
will enable trains on the A. & G. w
Railway to enter the Union depot al
Cleveland. 1t is a matter of much
Importance to the travelling public
that all the great railroads running to
Cleveland should center at a common
depot. 1t is especially important to
the people of this section, as all who
go owe the Atlantic road and wish TO
connect with the c. c. 81 c. or the p.
& c. roads are obliged to undergo
serious delays because of the distance
between the Union and the A. & G.
depots, and the accommodating
arrangement of timetables. The
Cleveland and Columbus R. r. time
tables are always arranged SO as to
prevent passengers over at A. & G. w.
R. Y, connecting directly or closely
trains on either line, at Cleve-
and or Gallon. If the Erie company
do anything to remedy this great
inconvenience, the public will be
obliged.

Valentines Day.

Sunday, 14th inst, is Saint Valen-
tines Day. No doubt the hearts OF
our little friends have already begun
to flutter in anticipation of the event.
To some, itmay be of interest to know
how, where and when this custom
originated, and for the information of
such We give the following account of
its origin, which we find in the
American Encyclopedia:
SAINT misunderstanding to
some ecclesiastical writers q bishop,
according to others a presbyter, who
was beheaded at Rome in the reign of
the emperor Claudius "a. d. 270), and
was early canonized. Wheatley says
that St. Valentine twas a mar of
most admirable parts, and so famous
for his love and charity that the
custom OF choosing Valentines upon
his festival (which is still practiced)
took its rise from thence.h Others
derived the custom from birds being
supposed to select their mates on this
day; Others again from a practice
prevalent in ancient Rome at the
festival of the L~upercalia, held du-
ring the month of February, when,
among other ceremonies, the names
of young women were placed in a
box, from which they were taken by
young men, according as chance d.
rected. The pastor of the early
church, finding it impossible to ex-
tirpate this pagan ceremony, changed
its form. As nee practiced, it was
the custom on the eve of Feb. IA, st.
Valentines day, to have the names
of a select number of one sex put into
some vessel by an equal number of
the other; and thereupon every one
drew a name, which for the time
being was called his or her Valentine.
The custom of choosing Valentines
existed very early, and was much
practiced in the houses of the gentry
in England. There are frequent ref
erences to it in Shakespeare.

Yesterday was ''woodchuck day."
As the SUI was not visible during the
entire day, we suppose his pigship
preferred to remain in the open air,
and the prospects of much more cold
weather are not very fattering in
consequence, if the tradition is true.
The Youngstown Register, a
reliableC ) family journal, says that
''the time has passed when Warren
could hopet to rival Youngstown" In
another column it says indications
are that Warren or Niles will out
strip Youngstown in less than fifteen
years. 1t is evidently anxious to say
something, without any particular
as to whether that something
is true and consistent, or false and
Inconsistent.

THE Book BUsINEss.-But few
persons have any proper comprehen-
sion of how vast is the book business
in this country. Take one "item,"
for instance, as illustrative: Matthew
Hale Smiths Sunshine and Shadow
in New York" which is the exciting
work of the day, has already reached
the enormous sale of y. 700 copies
within thirty days. The publishers
u. b. Burr& Co., of Hartford, Comm.
use two tons of paper o day and run
SIX large roller presses constantly to
supply the current demand. This is
doing a wholesale business with n
book alone. This is a large work too,
it must be remembered, between sew
and eight hundred pages royal Octa-
vo and yet it is said to rival in rapidity
of sale Uncle Toms Cabin" of old.
Think of the cOuntlessness of he
small ones published. Surely ours is
a reading country.
