Railroad Meetings.

! The two Rrailroad meetings held al
this place on last Thursday and Satur-
day were not as large nor enthusiastic as
those previously. We believe that all
the good that meetings car do, for the
present, has been accomplished. A Rail
Road can't be built by public meeting.
There has been enough talk and enough
resolving; and there is abundant evil
dence that the right of way will be read
lily granted and very large amount of
stock subscribed for this enterprise-in
short that all the elements exist for the
construction of the Wheeling and Toledo
Railroad that ever existed for the con-
struction of any Railroad.
If there is just one man, possessing a
reasonable amount of capital and with
good organizing force of character, who
can be found, that will take a personal
interest in the matter and devote his
time and energy to it, the enterprise will
succeed, and without that no great pub
lie enterprise can succeed, nor every did
succeed. The money is available, the
right of way is offered; where is the man
to work it up" and while he does a
good thing for thousands of others
make a fortunte for himself?- Cadiz

COUNTY SEAT.-We see an advertise
ment made by posters that a meeting
will be held at, Belmont on the 25th
inst, for the purpose of making pre-
liminary arrangements for agitating the
County Seat question again. With the
experience which our Belmont friends
have had in such matters already, they
certainly mean business in incurring
the labsr and expense of second can
vass Of the County. They will meet
with less organized opposition than last
winter and if they succeed in securing
ar affirmative vote of the Legisl ature
upon the question, We may look for
lively times.

NEEDED FENEILATIoN.-Last week a
negro named Murray was, discharged
from our Infirmary in a pitiful condition.
Sometime in July last he was discharged
from the Jail ofthe county where he had
been confined OH some criminal charge,
it being proven to the satisfaction of the
Probate Court that he was idiotic and
incapable of committing crime. Said
court thinking it dangerous'to permit
him to run at large, sent him to the
County Infirmary there to be safely kept
as provided by law. Since that time he
as,been confined in one of the cells at
the Infirmary and SO indifferently treat
ed that when discharged last week his
feet ere foundto bein gangrenous
condition and will perhaps have to suf-
fer partial amputation. Verify we need
q new poor-house or somebody ,,to look
after the poor, helpless wretches which
God has entrusted to the sympathy of
man.

the Champion Agents posted through

them of posting Bills claiming apemium

above subject. The proposition. of the
President of the Lake Shore Railway
Company to our Committee will be laid
before the citizens of Flushing and 9TH
ers along the route. who will be in at
tendance. In 5rief, this proposition
is as follows: The citizens along the
route with whatever outside assistance
they may secure, shall grade the Road
and make it ready for the reception of
the Iron aad Rolling Stock. These the
above Company agree to furnish.
With this definite understanding
that the Road will be accepted
by moneyed Company, it only re-
mains for the citizens along the route to
say whether they will put their hands
to the work of leveling down the rough
places and filling up the hollows, in or
der that our towns villages and rich
lands shall be opened up and brought
into profitable connection wi h markets
and the moving world, by Railroad.

men of means who should be deeply in
terested let this chance slip away with
out desperate effort to set this move
ment on some sure footing. We now
have opposition from Companies seek
inc other rontes and for this reason a
doubly strong effort should be made to
put men to work upon this route as soon
as the Winter closes. We accept the
motto of our friends at New Athens.
