Is very likely u miserable lie told about
the defendant of the player upon the
pipes by some malicious rival; but it is
stern fact that VIM. Minear was, at
the city Of Stanwood, on Saturday last,
tried before B. H. Miller, J. p, and
what was more important to William,
convicted, Of stealing small hog. For
and on account Of this little irregularity
on Williams part, the Justice sentenced
him to pay fine Of So and costs, In de
fault Of the paymen. Of which, he was
committed to Jail by The Sheriff. And
now comes the said Williams kather-in
law, an elderly and respectable man, on
foot twenty miles through the mud, for
the purpose of paying the fine for the
young man and setting him at liberty.
We are afraid William don't deserve
such a father-in law-much less his
daughter.

RAILROAD MEETING.-On Saturday

ed from an absence Of two weeks, and
therefore was not prepared to talk about
the Upton outlook; but he proceeded to
give number of cheering facts concern
ing the general aspect Of the enterprise.
He also threw out several suggestions of
ends to be attained and means to be
employed, which fell, ", think, upon
good ground.
Hon. WIN. p. Wolf was the next
speaker, and from the necessity Of a
continued absence, his remarks were in
much the same channel as Judge Roth
rocks.
DR.. J. Maynard then addressed the
meeting In short speech, with several
pertinent suggestion, and was the re-
cipient Of applause.
The Chairman, H. C. Piatt, in a few
minutes speech, informed the meeting
that $500 Of the amount assigned to
this county remained unprovided for,
and urged that during the next week
the canvass for subscriptions be prosecu-
ted to completion in all the interested
territory, and that then, OH the ensuing
Saturday, whatever should remain diff
cient, should be promptly raised by this
immediate vicinity, aud have done with
it. He represented that Cedar county
was accredited with having her quota
secured, and 80 it is virtually, and
should be actually, without further
delay. He alluded to the efforts and
success Of certain of the gentlemen who
have been canvassing for subscriptions
to the neglect of heir own business for
weeks past. and sensibly asserted that
this community could well afford and
ought to pay them for their time and
trouble.
