South-eastern Independent. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1871-1871, 1871-11-17
Columbus, FeFrnra and Min
eral Region Rail Road.

On Friday OF last week, a large
meeting was held In Columbus in
The interest Of the above proposed
new line of Railroad. TWAS as
certained at the meeting. that II
would take about $500. 600 to grade
it, and it was stated that fully
$500, 600 had been subscribed for
that purpose.
The proposed limo If the shortest
possible one between Columbus and
the great Coal Vein Of Perry Coun-
ty, and there Is no doubt but that II
will be built.
By invitation, the citizens OF
Malta had their representative, Mr.
James NJ. Rogers, present at the
meeting, for tue purpose of ascer-
tuning what could be dore relative
to a connection of the MuskInsnm
River with said road, the point Of
connection with the river being
Malta.
Mr. Rogers received every ell
couragcment and assurance, posi-
ble to be made at the mIeting, that
tho above road would give some
material assistance toward construc-
ting L road between Malta and the
nearest point of connection with
said road in Perry County.
Considering this prospect, and
that there IL II standing offer from
Perry County now to give s25, 600
toward a road to Malta, we should
think that the men of push and 60
aheaditivness on the West side of
the river would take the matter IN
hand ut once, and proceed TO raise
the subscriptions necessary to build
the road.
The line is but q short one, and
would not cost the people of the
west side uf tho river, considering
the outside assistance they would
have, more than So 600. And be.
sides, there is no dOnbs IN tho world
bat that it would be one Of the best
paying Investments that money
could be put in.
The Coal of PerryCounly, IN orr
der TO get into market cheaply, has
TO be transported by water. Rail-
road transportation will always
limit the district where Perry Coun-
ty coal will be sold, if It all has to
be transported by railroads. and,
consequently, the need of river.
transportation which Is always
cheaper.
Malta is about the nearest point
whore Perry County coal can be got
10 a navigable river, and the trans
1t of coal over O road FROM Malta
to the Perry County Coal fields
wonld be immense, and would, of
%ltself, make the road a paying In>
stltution.
But this IS not all. The iron IN
terest OF Perry County would find
it fully as advantageous to use such
q roEd as the coal interest, and for
the same reason; the cheapness of
river navigation.
Besides, who KNOWS but that Nal

Industrious courtships are the fashion

THE MODEL WIFE.

The following is an extract from Rev.
DR.. Willct's lecture on the "Model Wife"
The model wife is described in Prov.
erbs. Out oflhe - verses which there
describe her. just one half speak of her
industry. The model wife not only su.
perintends, but herself works. Work, to
be sure, is what common people do, but
common things are valuable and necdtul.
We all do such vulgar things as breath
ing and eating Common sense is one
of the most valuable of common things,
and common sense will never scoln to
work. The idea that domestic indnsty is
vulgar, is the most silly OF modern no.
tions. Health and happines 60 together,
and work is the attendant of health
This model bible wife, too, is pattern
ofneatness. She was not II slave nor a
drudge. Her home was a model OF or
der and good taste. You can always pick
out man who has god wife by the

SWINDLING BY NAIL.
Counterfeit Money Frauds-How They
Operate and Grow Rich.

The number OF persons in this CITY en-
gagged in swiadIing through the mails, by
promising their correspondents counter
felt money, gold watches and other yalu-
ables upon the payment OLA certain sum
OF money, is surprising to any one out
side the police department. Notwith'
standing the true character of these
frauds has been time and again exposed
by the press. both the swin,llers and their
willing allies in the case OF those engaged
in the counterfeit money frauds, have
seemed To- increase. Yesterday the first
conviction OF this class Of Swindlers, un.
der the statute prescribing penalties for
'larceny by trick and devise" was had in
the Court Of Special Sessions, when JUS
tice Dowlng sent William II. Jackson
and William Hammond 10 the Penitentia.
RI for six months.
One of the first to engage in this busi-
ness was one Daley. He looked like 4
thief and was So poorly dressed that the
agents in the express office refused to
deliver the packages he called for. but rs
he produced proof that he was the con-
signoe, the companies were forced to give
him the money. The receipts were very
small at fD,, but in few days the sums
averaged from $50 TO $40 day, and then
DALEY exchanged his filthy rags for
broadcloth and fine linen. After while
gold studs and diamond rings appeared
on his person, and every tram brought
piles of greenbacks.
An office was rented at No 50 Nassau
street, up in diugy loft, and business in
creased so rapidly that he found it neces.
sary to take in 4 partner, and so he en-
gagged young man who agreed to do all
the dirty" work for 4 modest sum-
Things prospered finely, until one day,
when the youth was foldinga lot Of his
employers confidential circulars yer.
dant came with detective who stayed
below. A charge ofswindling was made
and when there was 4 prospect oil fight
the official stepped up and arrested the
Young man. A counterfeit bill was found
on his person, and after trial the clerk
OF all work was sent to Sing Sing. Daily
managed to keep out of the affair. Not
long after the arrest, the subject of this
narrative found another man, named Wa
ters, who was soon found TO be eminent.
ly fitted for his new place. After Daily
had been in the business about year, he
bought fine house. and here he brought
his wife and several OF her relatives. Wa.
ters was also invited to the new home,
for the owner was anxious TO have all his
tools under cover In case Daily and Wa
1ers should be uncertain Oftheir identity
after reading this article, description OF
each will be valuable.
Daily is about forty years OF age, OF
medium height. and dark complexion
He wears black chin whiskers and q

A COOP TEMpLAR LODGE OF SORROW.
The following is from the Now York
Tribune:
The ceremonies of tho Lodge Of Sor.
row were observed last evening for the
first time, in the Order of Good Templars.
by the Geo. H. Peavy Lodge. No. 95l.
The Lodge was held in memory of Bro.
Lewis Applegate, NJ. d.. deceased. In
addition to the members Of the Order,
many visitors of both gexes were present.
In the center of the room, which was
drapcd in mourning, was a calalalque on
which was placed coffin, surmountcd
by portrait of the deceased. A dirge
was sung. portions OF the Scriptures were
read by the Chaplain, and short adj
less was made by Prof. Nickerson, and
eulogy upon the deceased was pro-
nounced by the Rev. Bro. Northrop, OF
the Twenty third Street Presbyterian
Church. Doxology and the Lenodcion
closed the exercises.
Subordinate Lodges may adopt such
methods of expressing sorrow of respect
as may suit themselves without any ac-
ton OF the Grand Lodges.

FAMILY GOVERNMENT.
BY HENRY WARD BEECHER.

The first child Of parents who are earn
est and conscientious in their purpose OF
bringing him up right, is apt to be excess
lively governed. The first cl lid OF easy
going, affectionatc parents is apt to be ex
ccssively indulged. But as the children
belong to different families, it is hard to
make an average. Which is nearer rightF
Both Neither! Too much government
and too little government come TO about,
the same thing. However, it is great
mistake TO suppose that the simple mat
ter of government can be taken out OF the
whole routine of family life. as il it were
thing by itself. Government is but a
name for the sum of all influences brought
to bear upon the children. 1t is not sim
