COMAfUN NICATIONS

For the Chronicle.
Our RaiIway.
We mee. no one, young or old, in our
village or the northern part of the
County, who does not seem deeply in
terested in having Railroad passing
through this section. To one who has
always lived near Railway, who has
always been accustomed TO the hustle
and business like aspect given to the
country blessed with the sound of an
engine whistle. this subject seems of
more than usual interest. What would
be the effect upon the country through
which it would pass, and upon the towns
and villages along the way, if the long
talked-of Road connecting Toledo and
Wheeling or Bellaire, was built? We
know what has been the effect of the
Central Ohio Road upon the lands and
towns near y, in this County. Land
that could bc bought Cor 35 dollars an
acre before he Road was built, sells
readily now at 60 dollars, and its rise is
almost wholly due to the Road. In pro-
portion to the distance of lands from
the Road, with exception Of those lying
near the National Road, they diminish
in value. The farmers along the Road
have well afforded to lose the greater
part of the stock taken in the Road.
The loss of 500 or 900 dollars stock has
resulted in almost every case in gain
upon land treble the amount. Look at
the towns and villages along the Road
in our County alone. "Ten years age"
says the Independent, "Bellaire1 had
scarcely 500 Inhabitants; now she has
over 1000" Bellaire never knew what
prosperity was, until the Central Ohio
route was opened up, and then the
little town was awakened from its long
sleep by the dash of the locomotive
down the valley. To-day it is rapidly
growing city, and owes its growth to its
excellent means of communication. We
might say the same with reference to
GAINESVILLE and Belmont. How would
such a means of intercourse affect us !?
Judging from other similar cases, we
predict that upon the completion of the
Road, lands along the way would Iise
in value 20 per cent.-more than balance
all the stock necessary to build the
Road. 1t would infuse life and energy
into business ofevery character; villages
would grow into respectable towns;
towns would soon double their popula-
tion; merchants, bankers, tradesmen
instead Of complaining of stagnation in
business. would seoh find that prosper
ity is the result of'a policy that extends
beyond the counter or workbench.

Carrier Pigeons.

From the Philadelphia Sun.
= Carrier Pigeons, it is announced, are
now, the only means of communication
between Paris and Tours, where the
seat of Government of France has been
temporarily established. Since the in
PRODUCTION of the electromagnetic tele-
graph the use of carrier pigeons has
nearly been nidiscontinued, although this
means of conveying secret intelligence
is still employed. They have, however,
been more used in the Turkish domin-
ions than in any other part of the world.
The advantages to be derived from car
risr pigeons are very limited, as they
cannot be dispatched to their homes ex-
cept under peculiar circumstances. Thus
carrier pigeons must be brought from
the place to which they are to return
within q short period, not exceeding
two weeks of their being let loose, and
and at time when they have young in
their nests. The bird must also be Kept
in the dark, and without food for eight
hours before being released.
, Tho message is written on very thin
paper and enclosed in an envelope tied
around the body and under the wings.
Another Inconvenience, when the jour-
ney il for long distance, arises from
the birds alighting in quest of water, by
which the message may receive injury
and be obiiterated. In order to allevi-
ate the pangs of thirst it is customary to
bathe the pigeons feet In vinegar, so as
Keep them cool. The instinct BY which
the carrier pigeon is guided has never
received a sufficient explanation, as
other birds possess equal and even
greater powers of vision, but cannot be
trained to carry messages. When the
carrier is let loose it rises spirally in the
air to great height, and then proceeds
to its home at rate of thirty miles an
hour. The carrier pigeon is of remark
ably large size, being fifteen inches in
length from the point of the bill to the
end of the tail. The naked skin on the
bill is very large, and is covered with
red fieshy excresences; the eyes are sur
rounded with 8 broad circle of naked
red skin, and the wings reach nearly to
the extremity of the tail. The carrier
pigeons are trained at an early age by
being at first taken a few miles from
home and then let loose; the distance is
gradually increased until the birds ac-
quire great facility in carrying messages.
An actual postal system, in which pig.
cons were the messengers was establish
ed by the Sultan Noureddin Mahmoud,
who died in 1174. This pigeon mail
lasted for over eighty-four years, or until
1858, when it was destroyed by the
Mopgols, who had captured Bagdad.

shocking ca.u.ll,,e. of the War.

From the Tribune.
The shocking casualties among prom
inent commanders in the present war,
followed by sudden and amazing re-
covery, will be cited hereafter as the
greatest curiosities of history.
The Emperor Napoleon died at Cha
Ions at an early period in the struggle.
He died again between Chalons and
Mezieres. He tried to die third time
at the head CT his army but could not.
At present he is in better health than
he has enjoyed for years.
Marshal McMahon, after being in
simultaneously killed at Sedan, recover
ed in time to be mortally wounded and
die in Belgium. He Is now canvales-
cent.
Gen. Failly was shot by his own
troops. He was afterward killed in bat
tie by the Prussians. Finally he was
executed for cowardice. He is now
alive and well.
King William went raving mad and
was conveyed to Berlin in straight
Jacket, ever since which time he has
been in command at the front.
zsBismarck has been shot. The Crown
q Prince was killed in action three weeks
ago. Subsequently the former gentle
man held several interesting converse.
tions with M. Favre and the Tribune
correspondent, and the Prince notwith-
standing his untimely demise, has scoy<
tinued to make pretty lively time IN
the neighborhood of Paris.

! THE ELECTION.

The election on Tuesday last, passed
off quietly, and with no more than the
usual tricks on either side. All places
where liquor could be obtained, were
closed up by a proclamation Of the
Mayor, with the exception of some pri-
vate arrangements, for the comfort OF
doubtful voters. The close vote, how
ever, on candidates for whom this influ-
ence was used, shows that the reward of
those who descend to such means, was
not very fattering. The vote in the
aggregate was light throughout the
County, and the calculating politicians
are not much disappointed. Republic
cans did not expect to carry the County,
but to reduce the majorities counted
upon by Democrats. We are glad to see
that men OF different sections are look
ing % their local interests. The vote OF
Pultney township shows plainly the
feeling Of Bellare upon the Tariff

gaans all over Ohio. We, doubtless,
