from Perry county from The
Ohio State Journal simply
preiacing 1t with the remark
that while we seriously doubt
S450,OOO subscription, We can
assure the incorporates of the
Newark, Somerset & Big Sandy
Il. r. that they have not zap
propriated" the old roadbed ol
the Scioto aud Hooking Valley
r. r. 1t is now owned by the
incOrporators OF the GallipOlis,
Macarthur & Columbus r. r.,
TO whom it has been decided,
for the purpose Of building a
railroad by the original owners
ofthe land. They are no doubt
anxious to negotiate with any
parties who are willing to sub.
scribe so large an amount as
S450,OO0. Here is the letter:
Under the act concerning
suspended railroads, patsed
May 9Th, 1868, so much of the
old Scioto u Hooking Valley
line as lies between Macarthur
Station on the NJ. & @. h. r.,
and Five Mile Furnace, in
Hooking county, was located
by the Board ofCorporators in
behalf OF the Newark, Somer.
Get & Big Sandy Company on
the 9Th inst, at a special ses.
sion held in Somerset, Ohio.
This old line abandoned by said
act, and thus appropriated by
the Newark, Somerset & Big
Sandy Company is about
twenty-five miles long, and
nearly ready for the iron.
The line was chained by I.
Spencer Stillman, of Somerset,
who lin connection with Isaac
Yost, corporator of the N. S. &
b. S. Co. and a corps of EN-.
ployees) drove down the
stakes, having adopted The
field notes of the original sur.
vey and thus avoided the ne.
cessity of repeating the same
with the compass. The line
will be surveyed by the Com.
pany Engineer in a few days,
and the levels correctly taken.
This motion will throw the road
bed back into the hands of the
original subscribers to the
stock of the Scioto and Hook.
ing Valley road.
Four hundred and fifty thou.
sand dollars of the stock is al,
ready subscribed north of
Hooking county, kbeing $3.50
900 over the 10 per cent re.
quired by law 1t is contem
plated to build,a branch from
Macarthur Station to Gallipolis,
thus connecting with the Kan.
awha branch ofthe Chesapeake
and Kanawha Valley railroad.
In a few days books will be
opened in the counties OF
Hooking, Vinton. Jackson,
Lawrence and Gallia.
The Straitsville Branch of
the Hooking Valley Railroad
is hardly necessary in view of
this action, and the speedy
completion of the Newark,
Somerset & Straitsville road to
Pattonsville or Hayden's Fur
mace. The Chief Engineer of
the road, in a recent report
says it is most likely, should
that part OF the Atlantic and
Erie Railroad, south OF Perry
county from Pomeroy, via.
Athens, become a success that
the line up Monday Creek to
Straitsville is the most feasible
and likely to be adopted. If
this be correct, the true point
Of intersection of the A. & E
with the N. S. & 3. R. R., after
passing up Snow Fork and
down Shawnee Run will be the
mouth of the latter where it
empties into Monday Greek
one mile north Of Straltsville.

THERMOMETERS IN WAsHINGToN.-The
worthy representatives of the State and
the people of Vermont are all pleasantly
settled in their winter quaters. Senator
Edmunds occupies fine residence erect
ed by himself during the past summer,
in one of the pl.asantest and sunni
est locations in the city, on what is known
as Highland Terrace" at the corner of
Massachusetts Avenue and 14th street.
Senator Morrill, and family are no
longer to be found at "Cushings," but
are in the enjoyment of much finer rooms
and a pleasanter location at $40 18th
street.
Judge and Mrs. Poland will never de-
sert their comfortable, coy and pleasant
quarters at Mrs. Carriers, on Capitol
Hill. Senator Foot made this his home
for fifteen years, and Judge Poland has
occupied the same every season since he
first came to Washington. Whether it
is owing to the genial good nature of the
Judge, the pleasant welcome. and agree
able entertainment Of his amiable lady,
or to the cheerful wood fire blazing in
the ample old-tashioned fireplace, it may
be useless to inquire; but there are few
pleasanter places for an informal call
than at their rooms.
Mr.. Willard occupies rooms at the
same place, while Hon. w. G. Smith and
family are keeping house at the corner
of Goth and / streets.
AS usual during the first week of a
session. the city is full of strangers, or
visitors. Among those from Vermont,
we are pleased to meet the gallant Yer
mont soldier, Gen Stannard and that
prince of good fellow, the ever pleasant
and popular Secretary of State, DIR. Mich
OILS of Northfeld.- Washington Cor.
Watchman.

upon this system would commence the

the quantity if necessary.
HAYwooD.-I would certainly take

gan to fodder them; asst grain wedo not

ing grain, but will we all come to it p

able to visit each others yards and take
look at the stock and make enquiry
how such and such creatures are fed. If
we wish to know how to manage COWS,
drop in at the Deacon's and d. G.

j. B. MoRsE-I don't in all respects
agree with the gentlemen. l would feed
no grain to sheep, but good hay best
fore-part of winter, with corn fodder
twice week feed out of doors in fair
weather and in stormy weather under
cover, in racks, and should feed but
twice day. am satisfied we let our
stock run out too late. If | feed meal in
any quantity or to any creature would
scald it, and if convenient would scald it
sometime before feeding.

We have given but very little atten-
ton to "war news" for some weeks, for
reason that there is no important change
in the probable final result. The various
reports Of French successes, got up in
French interest and mainly started in
this country by the New York World,
have been quite generally untrue and
not unfrequentlypure fabrications. Thus
far the German success has been nearly
as general as while they were fighting
the Empire. Since the fallof the EN-
pire the people of this country have not
felt the interest in this contest that they
did before, but the general feeling pre-
walls that it is contest which ought to
continue no longer, and it is certainly to
be hoped that the French republic will
not continue the follies of the Empire.

The democracy are still constantly
annoyed by the imprudence Of some Of
their party who are constantly trying to
give life to the late rebellion. For in
stance Jones of Kentucky on Monday
offered secession resolution declaring
among other things that the right of
secession had always been debatable,
and that certain States had seeded and
set up government Of their own "with
an honest conviction, as to their reserved
rights" which resolution was defeated
by vote Of IA to 141, such democrats
as Cox, Holman and Slocum, &C., voting
with the republicans against it.

UNSAFE ILLUMINATING FLuIps.-The
fire marshal Of New York reports that
during last year there were 157 fires,
eighteen per cent of the whole number,
caused in that city by poor kerosene and
dangerous compounds that are used in
place Of kerosene, while there were seven
teen deaths caused by the explosion of
these fluids. A recent inspection of the
stocks of the dealers in kerosene oil and
substances sold for it in that city, showed
that ninety-six per cent of the whole
number were selling dangerous article,
liable to bring death and destruction in
to the house where it is used, at any mo-
ment. The recent explosions in this city
show the character Of what are called
" safety" oils, and should impress upon
the public the importance using only
kerosene obtained from honest and re-
liable dealers, who will guarantee its
quality. The increasing number of &C
cidents caused by the use of dangerous
Illuminating compounds. is evidence that
there are many persons interested in
pushing them and making money by
their sale, and there ought to be the
most stringent laws passed for their pun
ishment and the protection of the public
in every state.
