Public Spirit Of the Right Kind. F.
There IS some talk OF a manalactory for Agri.
cultural Implements being established IN Per.
rysbnrg. In view Of IL, 81. HAYES. Esq has
generously offered 70 donate six acres Of lAnI To
the parties on the line Of the Dayton & Michi-
gan Railroad, or should site near taerivor On
the Perryshurg Hydraulic Canal be preferred,
he will donate the same amount Of land at that
point. Should thc latter point be selected, a
side track could easily be laid from the D. & NJ.
Railroad, and by its continuation be made to
accomplish what the people Of Perrysbnrg con-
templated when they took stock IN this railroad,
namely, the formation of sid.-.rack along the
canal to It's junction with the river, TINS con-
meeting the railway transit with the navigation
by the Man uee river.
Mr. HAYES deserves much credit for this gem
erous Offer, the result of jndicious foresight In
due time it will bring him rich reward, By
the increased value OF his prop rtY Like the
attractions Of the magnet to the iron, gcaer-
Gus public sentiment rightly directed, win draw

sive influence give business strength CONNER
eial vitality, and largely increased value to
