THE truthful Vinton Record, "the
liveliest paper printed in the coun-
ty," which "contains all the local
news" says that some citizens of
Jackson Township "lost thousand
dollars" betting with the three card
monte.man who was here with
CAMPBELL's Show. That is as near
the truth as "the liveliest paper in
the county" ever gets. The three
card. monte scoundrel secured only
sixty dollars
The Record had better cease pub
fishing that sort Of "local news"

A case of feminine daring is
related of a Virginia belle, who
rode to the edge of precipice
and defied any man of the par
ty who rode with her to follow
her. Not a man accepted the
challenge; but a tantalizing
youth stood on his head in the
saddle and dared the lady to
do that.
The Wolfeboro' News says
that a young lady visiting in
that village, a few nights since,
arose in her sleep, partially
dressed herself, and walked
without shoes to her fathers
house, some three miles distant.
When she awoke she found
herself sitting upon the door,
step shivering with the cold,

The ancient forest oaks are seeIh9
Where the old Rhine wave sounding run
Through vineyards gleaming the sun

'Tis where the free-souled Germans dwell.

Where word ofman is good as gold2

The locomotive for the Ma.
rietta and Pittsburgh Railroad
was brought from Parkersburg,
last Friday evening; Saturday
it was got on the track, by
constructing the road down to
the edge Of the river. Every
body was jubilant over the
result, and, amid waving Of
hats, the whistle was sounded,
and the first trip of the M. e.
p. r. r. was an accomplished
fact.
We understand that engi-
neers were put on the survey
for a railroad up the Little
Hooking, last week, from Bel
pre- to Athens. And, also, that
the M. 81 G. r, r. between
Athens and Marietta is. to be
leased to the Columbus and

There is room upon the books
here for more names, and we are
we'll acquainted with number of
men in the town of Macarthur, who
ought to subscribe in the sum of
$4,000 each; others are we'll able
to 'come down" with SO, 1000, $4,000,
and 1000 each. And why do they
not subscribe toward building the
railroad they have talked so much
and so long about? Why are they
standing back? The Gallipolis peo-
pie have talked for long time, but
now they are backing up all they
have ever said On the subject with
the the cash. They arc not bashful
about it, They put down thousands
of dollars without q word OF com.

to the conclusion that money and
not "gab" will build a railroad. One
does not wait for another to sub
scribe-all move in the matter as
one man. Examine that long list
of names again Sec the several

Let Macarthur come up squarely
and assist in the construction of this
noble enterprise. Let the people
unite and all subscribe in proper
ton to their ability, and there will
not be the least difficulty in compile
ting the road.

Books for receiving subscriptions

were opened, in each county, through
which the road will run, in pursu-
anco of tho official notice published
in the county journals, on the goth
of June. The stock is in shares of
$50 each. Very smallshares indeed;
so small that every man along the
line ought to take at least one
even if it should be most convenient
to pay the amount by labor on the
road after the work shall have been
commenced.
In order to give our citizens an
opportunity to see the progress that
is making toward the road, we pub
lish below a list Of the names Of
subscribers with the amount sub
scribed, in Gallipolis and Macarthur,
which, so far as Gallipolis is con-
