THE BALTIMORE, PITTsBURG AND
CHICAGO RAILWAY.

We learn from Mr.. Waddle, who favor
ed US with q call last Saturday, that the
engineers completed the survey of the
contemplated line of the Baltimore, Pitts
burg & Chicago Railroad, through Can
ton as far as Plymouth, (2l miles north of
Mansfeld), on the Newark & Sandusky
road. This line runs through Rochester,
West Lebanon, Wooster, near Blatche-
lysville, brownsville, Ashland, near La
fayette; thence to Plymouth, and thence
via Attica to Tfin and Toledo. Mr..
Waddle says there is no better section Of
country in Ohio for road, and that the
people west of US are awake to the enter
prise, and are determined to do everything
in their power to secure it, being ready to
subscribe stock literally and donate the
right of way. East of US. we learn, the
same public spirit pervails Mr. Waddle
is continuing his survey back by way of
the Sandy and Beaver canal starting Is
miles south of Mansfield at Belleville on
the Newark & Ssndusky road, passing
near Loudonville, Nashville, Holmesville,
Benton, Dundee or Wilmot and Bolivar,
and thence up the Sandy river to Minerva,
thence by New Lisbon or down the west
fork to the Ohio river. This line is also
said to present many attractions. being a
practicable route and abounding in miner
als Of great value
He also says tho through route tor this
road is. undoubtedly, that through
Canton II is so direct in line, and passes
through country so rich in minerals, and
also hits 50 many important and large
business towns and towns of considerable
wealth. It would hit more county towns
than snv line in Ohio, crossing the river
at Beaver, Pa, thence to New Lisbon, thence
to Canton, (ssy by Minerva and osnA-
burg, thence TO Wooster, Ashland, Tifin
and Toledo This is certainly very di-
rect line, and ifcompleted would develoPe
greatly the rich and fertile country along
it. The finest minerals abound and Mr..
Waddle informs US this line is ten miles
OF more shorter than the Sandy route,
and about the same shorter than that by
Salem and Akron We have no dozbt
that citizens along this route will do as
much to promote the enterprise by way
Of stock and donating the right of way as
those on any other line We know they
can afford it and are confident they will

HVRDER IN CHURCH.

On Sunday morning the 18th inst, while
the congregation at St. Mary's Catholic
Church, in Piqua, Ohio. were engaged in
worship last Sunday, a young woman
named Miss Mary Naher, entered the
church and took seat. In a few moments
thereafter she deliberately took from her
pocket pistol and shot young man
named Thomas Wise, who occupied 3 seat
Immediately in front of her. Wise, after
being shot, arose and started toward the
entry. The woman pursued him, endeav-
oSing to shoot him a second time, but was
prevented by q policeman, who arrested
her. 1t seems Visa had formerly paid at
tention to her but had not lAtterly There
is hopes of Wise recovering at last ac-

The NoRTH-WEsT.-We had visit on
last Monday from Mr.. Samuel Davis, who
has Just returned from Minnesota. Mr.
Davis went to Olmstead county, that
State, some months since, with the pur-
pose of farming, but the prospect was not
sufficiently hopeful to Justify him in set
ting there. He draws rather a gloomy
picture Of that region of country. Wheat
is but forty eight cents bushel and hard
ly any money-ln circulation. Mr.. Davis
spent over $400 since leaving Youngstown
and received but $5 in cash during his
stay in Minnesota. He would not advo-
cate the emigration of laboring men to
the prairie regions Of Minnesota, as there
is no employment for them in the winter,
and if there were, the cold is too intense
to permit outdoor labor Many farmers,
even, have become bankrupt, and some
farms can be bought for q song Yo1tlgs-
tOa0n (Ohio) Vindieator.
The pinching time seems to have reached
some parts of the West. Wheat brings
40 to so cents, corn no sale. Cattle and
hogs and butter fortunately command bet
ter prices. What the future year will
develope remains to be seen. We per-

are becoming alarmed and actually talk
of cutting down taxation a little. Let
them first cut off e1travagance, reduce
the army and navy, withdraw the army
from the South. equalize taxation, tax the
BOndhOlders. or at least permit states to
tax the Bonds for stste andlocal purposes.
These would be steps in the right diroc-
ton. By abolishing their infamous and
oppressive tariff duties upon imports. our
shipping and commerce would revive and
in due time would improve the prices for
farm products and reduce the prices of
goods generally. But fools will not al
ways learn in the school of experience and
knayes never will

The Beaver and TOIedo R. r.

The news fFom Toledo, concerning the
new railroad, is fattering. That City is
taking a lively interest in the road, and
will contribute her full proportion towards
its completion.
We understand that the people of Shell
by and Plymouth, are still exerting them
selves to secure the location at one, or the
other Of those rival villages
Lafayette, is also wide awake on the
subject.
Let our people be on the alert, and lose
no time in bringing every possible infu-
ence to secure the road for Ashland.
Wooster, and other Towns along the
route, will be vigilsnt in looking out for
their interest
We cannot expect the road, without a
vigorous effort.
The country along which the proposed
road passes, from Beaver 10 Toledo, can
not be excellsd for fertility, fine stock and
wealth. These products must find p mar
ket. A market will be at hand if the pso-

The Heart Trnnsnxed by a Needle.

Professor Bifi, at ameeting of the Milan
Institute, presented the heart of q lunatic
who had died in consequence of gangrene
of the tongue which had supervened upon
a bite which he had inflicted upon it dur
ing maniaeal paroxysm. At the autopsy
a needle six centimetres in length was
found in the left ventricle, its point, after
perfarating the valve, penetrating to the
extent of one centimetre and halfinto the
left auricle. On INJURY being made, il
was ascertained that the lunatic, twenty
two months prior to his death, had an
nounced to his relatives that hehad forced
a needle into his heart but little atteR-
ton was paid to his statement, especially
as no symptoms of any disorder in the
chest manifested themselves, the pulse
during all this time, too, being quite regu-
lar in its beats

CORRUPTION IN CONGRESS.
Expulsion OF WhIttemOre--InnatiO
OF the Currency, Ge.


On the 2lst in the House General
Logan. from the committee Of investiga-
ton on the sale OF cadetships, reported a
resolution to expel Mr.. Whittemore for
selling two cadetships, one for Ave hun
dred and one for over a thousand dollars.
He claimed before the committee that he
had used the money for campaign and
charitable purposes. The resolution was
laid over till Wednesday. Whittemore
made no defence. He is carpet bagger,
elected by negro votes, and is doubtless a
specimen brick.
Among the witnesses wanted in the
cadetship arrangement is one NJ. D. Ian
ton, said to be the man who inserted and
paid for the advertisement which appeared
in New York, of cadetships for sale. This
is the same genius who. about year ago,
secured himself Glerkship in the Treasu-
ry Department by forging the name Of
President Johnson and some others. Ian
ton left town very suddenly on Friday
night, his expenses being paid by some OF
the parties interested.

millions more of currency passed by 10

REJECTION OF THE FIFTEENTH
AMENDMENT.

The proposed Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States, has been
unanimously rejected by the Legislature
of Maryland. The Amendment has also
been rejected by the New Jersey Legisla-
ture. The Baltimore Gazette forcibly
speaks OF it as having been conserved
IN fraud and born in iniquity," and adds
that 1T has been manifest from the first
that Congress would declare its ratifca-
ton by the requisite number of States,
and proclaim its adoption as part of the
Constitution" The Gazette very Justly
concludes
The object Of these provisions was sim
ply 10 secure the votes of the negro race
for the Radical party, and to obtain for
the Radical majority in Congress, the
right to regulate and control the elective
franchise in the Southern States. Among
the States which are said to have ratified
the Amendment, and. whose consent ia
necessary to make it valid, are Georgia,
which Is out of the Union, and Virginia,
which was out when her ratification was
accepted. The whole business is a farce
and a fraud, which We decline to discuss
seriously.

facetious over Chief Justice Chase and his

The legal tender decision Is considered
by many rather tough.
The man whose face IS on what the Su-

back on his portrait.

unable to identity himself with the eI-
