FROM THE RECORD Of last Saturday
we learn that one Ramsey, a so-caled
Evangelist" has heen making a
good deal of trouble in Monroe, BY his
attempts at preaching, and by various
foolish or wicked actions. Most folks
think him insane, while others cannot
think so charitably of him.
The Prairie City Cleaner Office has
been purchased by joint-stock sub.
scriptions, and the paper started again
under new management.

Our RArLRoAn-On Monday night
Messrs. Wright, Kruck and Christofel.
being Committee appointed for the
purpose, secured Depot grounds for the
A. X. 4 d. Railroad, from Messrs.
Jones 4 Hanks, about the space OF one
block north west Of the Advent Church,
thus fixing the Depot some four or
five blocks northwest from the Square.
From the Depot grounds the road is
now located southeastward down to
the crossing OF Competine creek. east
Of town, where there will be consid-
cradle bridge. Between that point
and the graded road-bed, at or near
Bremen, the surveyors are running
lines, by way Of Clay Township.
What route will finally he adopted is
yet uncertain.
One of the most pleasing facts is that
work on the Road is to commence here
at Knoxville Immediately, and be
prosecuted right along in good earnest.
Instead of letting the work out by con-
tract as usual, the Company will put
IL i'm charge of superintendent, who
will employ men and teams here, and
thus give opportunity for many who
may wish to. do 50 to pay their sub
scriptions, and perhaps their taxes, in
work and material. Speed the plow,'
and the scraper and shovel!

THE NEW BOARD of County Super
visors met last Monday, for their first
session. MIR. Gose was chosen Chair
man. Upon looking over the record
Of proceedings up to latest available
date we observe that new Rules have
been adopted, numerous bonds APP
proved. and some claims and petitions
acted on. Bids for the position Of SUI
perintendent of Poor House, for Term
of two years beginning on the let of
March next, are to be received until
the 7th inst. The Term Of the County
Physician is to be one year, beginning
March /.
The appearance of things during
sessions, with Board composed Of
only three men, is Of course considera-
bly, different from what it was under
the old plan; but we believe the new
system to be the better, and hope it
may at least have a fair trial. II it
shall be found that three men arc not
enough to properly transact the bust
ness, two more can be added in this
County, under the law. The members
of the present Board are going at their
work in good earnest, and we believe
they will perform their duties fairly
and with satisfaction to the people.
Their present session will probably
extend into next week. The position
OF Supervisor now is one of consider
ably more difficulty and responsibility
than formerly. We bespeak for the
new Board the fair consideration Of
the public, md wish them all possible
success everyway during their re-
spective terms Of service.
