The C. Mt. V. & ID. II. W.

The Ohio State Journal of Wednesday,
says: " Attention is called to the rail-
road meeting held last night at the Office
of Bartlit & Smith. There is needed
and asked only one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars subscription from
our citizens to secure this road to Co.
lumbus. 1t is. hoped that all will at
once see the Importance of this new
route, and give liberal subscriptions
when the committee call for that pur-
pose. Each new railroad adds to our
wealth and prosperity, and helps to build
up our manufacturing interests. We
have received such frequent demonstra-
tions of this there should be no hest
fancy in acting at this time" The meet
ing to which this notice referred was
called to order by Governor Dennison,
and G. NJ. Parsons elected chairman.
Judge J. c. Hurd, of Mt. Vernon, Pres
ident of the Railroad Company, was
then introduced, and gave full history
of the road from its incorporation. its
present condition and the prospects OF
building the same from the present ter
minus in Holmes county to Columbus
via Mt. Vernon, and statement as to
the amount of money needed forts COM
pietion, and the advantage it would bl
to Columbus. After remarks from
prominent gentlemen, committees wer'
appointed TO canvass the city and solici
contributions, with instructions to &C
promptly.

A New Wealth Open to Cleveland.

We clip the following from the Cleve-
land Herald, which will be interesting
to our readers, as it has special refer
ence to our county:
The agitation of a railway to the coal
fields lying in the backbone of the
State, is drawing the attention of the
people of the section of country that
would be developed by such road.
Cleveland can strike the iron when it is
hot, and make an impression, or she can
delay the blow until the iron becomes
cold and then get her labor for her pains.
Coal is not the only mineral wealth such
a railway would open to the Cleveland
manufacturers and capitalists.
We have before us specimens of Black
Band ore, found mile and a half from
the village of Holmesville, in Holmes
county, which have been pronounced
very rich, having at least sixty per cent.
of iron. The vein from which this ore
was taken is two feet thick, and was dis
covered by practical man who was
prospecting for coal. He submitted a
piece of the ore to heat, and it reduced
the weight of the piece from 1331 lbs.
to 1034--a loss of only 3pounds. A pro-
ject is now on foot to start furnace at
that point, provided a railway from
Cleveland is built.
We mention this fact as showing how
attention is being given to the building
of road from this point down the
Wooster way, and to show that while
the people along the line who are able
to give but limited pecuniary aid to the
enterprise are fully awake to the ad-
vantage to be gained, the men of Cleve-
land, so deeply interested in the project,
and so well able to build the road, are
sleeping upon their opportunity.

FROM BIG PRAIRIE.

MEssRs. EDITORS: We presume you
like to receive local items from various
parts of the county, and as we have not
seen any from our place, We thought we
would send you few.
Our village is improving very rapidly.
Mr.. J. D. Canaan with his indomitable
energy, in spite of law suits and every
thing else, is determined to make place
of it. He has been building store houses,
dwellings and shops, and is now hauling
in logs preparatory to bringing on a
saw mill, to which he intends attaching
a planer and also small foundry. We
are also making strong preparations for
manufacturing Peat, of which we have
an immense quantity in this vicinity, of
the very best quality. We also have two
or three deposits of Shell Marl, covering
several acres, which is of excellent quail
ity, and all that is wanting to develop
the wealth of the vicinity is to have a
few more men of enterprise settle
among us, to help push these matters
along. Generally speaking we have a
peaceable law-abiding set of citizens,
although, as in all other localities, We
have some exceptions to this general
rule, and some lawless party breaks
forth and for short time disturbs the
peace of the neighborhood by his law
lessness.
Should the foregoing meet your ap-
proyal, we may be induced to furnish
you an item Of news as often as we can
gather that which we think either prof
table or pleasing to your readers.
Yours, &c.

Coshocton Agency.

We will pay premium to the Trus-
tees of any township in Holmes county
of a full set of Iron Road Scrapers, to
be used on the public roads in their
townships, which sends us the largest
number of orders for Reapers and
Mowers during the season of 1871.
Scrapers to be delivered at Millersburg
free of charge. Our agent, j. S. Elliott,
having had twelve years experience in
examining and dealing in Reapers and
Mowers, and having attended the Uni
ted States Exposition of Machines for
the sole purpose of selecting the best

ket. We flatter ourselves that we are
prepared to furnish the very best ma
chimes at the lowest price and on the
the best terms. How many townships
will compete for the premium. Let us

Keen Your Family Paper.


The last thing that should be given
up, in a well organized family, is the
regular weekly local paper. Times may
be hard and money scarce, but in the
midst of the greatest financial distress
the most difficult things to dispense with
is the family newspaper. There are but
few persons who will do so under any
circumstances, and the wisdom of their
decision is manifest. The newspaper
is man at the lookout. 1t keeps the
farmer advised of the fluctuations of
the markets, and current items of the
day; of the regulations of the financial
policy of the country; of everything
that pertains to farming and business in
terests, and is, therefore, a guide-board,
which in hard times is the best friend
and counsellor. 1t is valuable on ac-
count of that information it regularly
brings TO our doors, and which, if
sought after elsewhere, could not be OBJ
tanned for ten times the amount of
years subscription. None but the most
hopelessly ignorant will stop their pa
pers on account of the hard times.
When they do so they throw away and
rule out of their families the only thing
that may save them in an extremity.
The newspaper costs less then penny a
day, and yet very often by containing
piece of valuable information to the
farmer or business man, may save him
thousands of dollars. If economy and
retrenchment are necessary in your ex-
penditures, commence elsewhere than
with your newspaper. 1t would be
looping off the head of the fowl to save
from destruction the rest of the body
like killing the goose that laid the gold
en egg to save the little supply of corn
required for its sustenance. The news
paper not only keeps you advised of the
state of the market, and contains in
formation that touches your every day
interests, but it is at the same time the
educator of your family. Your wives
and children read it and are enlightened.
The inventions and discoveries in agri-
culture, the arts and sciences, find place
in its columns and by filing it away you
have a yearly register of events and
things, to which you can refer with
pleasure and profit.

The Ashland Times says the president

there on Wednesday evening of last
week. He made some well timed and
interesting remarks, to the students and
some of the citizens. He says that he
likes the appearance of things there

are well pleased with him. The gener-
al feeling there now, is that when he
takes hold of the reins, he will drive

New Subscribers.

We are very much gratified with the
effort made by several of our good
friends within the past few weeks in
procuring us new subscribers. Such
favors are highly appreciated, and can
be easily granted by every subscriber of
the REPUBLICAN. No man who reads
newspaper, is of so little consequence
that he cannot induce one family, at
least, to take their county paper. This
too without any trouble. Simply speak
a good word for your home paper. Try
it, friends.

Lecture.

DIR. Hill of Philadelphia, will deliver
a course of nine lectures at Town Hall,
Millersburg, commencing Thursday,
Jan. 26th, at Z 1-2 o'clock 2. NJ, on
Anatomy and Physiology of Man; The
Laws of Health; The Cause of Disease,
its Effect; showing that there is never

Physiology and Hygiene.
We clip the following from the Port


age County Democrat:
DIR. Hill, of Philadelphia, has just
completed course of nine lectures on
these subjects, in the Town Hall. They
have been largely attended, considering
the bad condition of the roads. These
lectures have been splendidly illustrated
by great variety of costly, curious,
wonderful, and intensely interesting
models and preparations, manufactured
in Paris by distinguished French Anat-
omists, consisting of four Manikins,
fourteen Skeletons, and any amount of
beautiful paintings. Never before have
the people of Windham had so good an
opportunity to understand their physi-
cal structure, and how to attain the best
physical culture. The last four lectures
were addressed, two of them to men only
and two to women only. These con-
tanned instruction, which all should hear.
There is no knowledge pertaining to
mans earthly existence, so important as
that which may be gained by such a
course of lectures.

The Howe Sewing Machine,

We should judge from the number
and sold a week, in the
United States, that this machine was the
most reliable for all kinds of sewing now
in use. Twenty-four hundred week
are sent out to the public. Notwith-
standing this large number the demand
for them is such, that the company have
been compelled to enlarge their Factory
and when completed will turn out SOC
machines per day. l7tf.

PUBLICATIONS.
Something of Interest to the Admirers
of Charles Dickens,

We have received from the publishers, l.. r:
1.-The Bridge of Sighs," republished from "All
the Year Round" theisn Sifsh journal conduct
ed by the late Charles Dickens. The story is
well told, and has decided merits of its own to
recommend it. Aside from this, peculiar and
melancholy interest attaches to it, from the
fact that it is the last serial story published in
IAN the Year Round'' during the life time OF
Dickens, who, it is well known, never permitted
an article to appear in his favorite journal with
out his personal examination and approval.
The book is neatly printed and contains ninety
six octave pages. Price 35 cents, and can be
obtained from the publishers only.
