NeighbOrhoOd News.

The London (Madison Coz Times oflast
week says: The carpet sack found in the
possession of John johnson, (and aliases)
the Mt Sterling burglar, ON its inside had
the price mark of Mr.. Sifrit (brother to
our Mr.. Jacob Sifrit) of Harrisburg whose
store was robbed but short time before
the Mt. Sterling robbery. Among other
goods doubtless this worthy took this car
pet sack.
The Times gives little more of the his
tory of this notorious burglar, as follows:
Officers McEwen and Ryan, as they
lodged Barciey in our Jail last Sunday
morning, recognized Weider, alias John
johnson, after which McEwen informed
persons here that while he-McEwen
was guard at our penitentiary, Weider
served several years in said institution, and
also that he had served term of eight or
nine years in the Kentucky penitentiary
before. He advised Sheriff Strawbridge
o keep one eye, at least, on him.
Barcley, to whom the Times refers, was
arrested on charge of killing and robbing
Mr.. Garner, [of Delaware county,) nea
| Columbus, a few days since. Garner had
! 5000 in his possession and was in two
horse wagon driving out home from Col
umbus, when Barcley jumped into tho
hind end of the wagon and struck Garner
on the head with hammer or hatchet
and robbed him of his money.
DR.. Hull, Weiders accomplice in the Mt
Sterling burglary had previously beer
selling corn shelters among our unsuspi
cious agricultural friends of that region
and consequently knew the grounds.
The Greenfield Mail of last week says
Between ninety and one hundred ca

Dayton & South Eastern r. r.

On Tuesday evening last, we in
company with several citizens from
this county, attended an adjourned
Railroad Meeting at jamestown,
Greene county. We found the people
of that section alive to the subject of
the building of this important Rail
road. Articles of Incorporation were
agreed upon, and will be filed with the
Secretary of the State in a few days.
A favorable report was made by Col.
S. n. Yeoman who had been appoint
ed to confer with other parties on
the subject. Col. Yeoman. c. A.
Palmer, Mr.. NJ. Sharp and Mr.. Davis
of Greene county, and others spoke
of this as one of the most
important enterprises to the cou ntry
through which is proposed to
build the road, that has ever been pre-
sented to them in the way of public
improvements. All seemed to be con-
ffdent that the road will be made if
properly and energetically taken hold
of by the people along the line. 1t
was thought proper to originate some
definite plan for operations, and for
this purpose committee was appoint
ed. A committee was also appointed
to go to the East with this plan and
show the superiority and the feasibili-
ty of making this road; showing its
advantages as freight road, and the
fact that by its own line and other
roads it gives better means of access
to coal mines, and to more of them
within our own State, than any other
projected railroad line in Ohio The
articles of incorporation are for a
road from Dayton through Xenia
Washington and SO on to or near Cali
polls, in Gallia county.
Col. S. N Yeoman and A. NJ
Stimson of this county, and Mr. Syfers
of jamestown, and Dan'l Mcmillan oil
Xenia, were appointed on the same
| SoIh hunAGIee On the part OF GREENE
county. to go East, and present the
matter to parties, and ascertain wheth
er arrangements can be made, and
what, if any, to assist in the construct
ion of the road. The people of James
town at this meeting, raised s135.OC
to assist in defraying expenses, ant
are taking measures to raise more fol
the same purpose.

The people along the proposed railroad
from Dayton through Wilmington and
Hillsberough to Jackson, are vigorously at
work trying to raise the stock for building
said road. The amount required by the
c. & o, R. R. Co. to give the proposed road
a connection with the c. & 0. R. R., is $780,
600.
The Hillsborough-4Tevs OF Thursday
last Gays rnat the amount required of High
land county is $175,OO0 and that $12I 600
of this has been subscribed, leaving $54,-
600 still to be taken.
The Clinton County people we do not
think, are fully awake to the work yet,
though from their well known energy, tits
fair to suppose that they will do their
share. The journal says it hears that the
citizens of New Vienna are making liberal
subscriptions to the road. Meetings are
being held in the county, and the Journal
says it is thought the money will be
raised.

The iron bridge over Walnut Creek,

a very substantial piece of Workmanship.
Messrs. Guthrie Ladd &; Co., of this vi

Our neighbors of the Clinton County Re-
publican of last week, gave their readers a
good deal of hog news, which we transfer
to the columns of the Herald:
Henry Spray shipped to Q. j. Wright, at
Waynesville, one day last week, 10Y head
of hogs which averaged 425 pounds.
Thos. W. Mcmillan sold his lot of hogs,
forty in number, to Henry Spray, of New
Burlington. They averaged 486 pounds,
and considering their number, the lot is
seldom excelled.
S. N. Babb and Frank Smith brought in
and weighed on the 9th ult., the finest lot
of hogs ofthe season so far. There were
eighteen of them, and the average weight
was 533 pounds-the largest weighing 74O
pounds.
Il G. Rannels, brought in and sold few
days ago, thirty-three head of hogs, aver
aging 465 pounds.

Good Pigs.

We are informed that Mr.. Pressly
Thompson, of Paint township, in this coun-
ty, marketed 80 hogs of his own raising,
Is months DID, that averaged 800 pounds
and a fraction. When it is taken into con-
sideration that these hogs were kept as
stock hogs are ordinarily kept, without any
effort to make them more than ordinary
hogs, and that they were not fed for fattcn-
ing until in September last. they must be
regarded as uncommonly fine pigs.
