Norlce is given this morning TO the
owners Of city property lying along the
line Of the Pittsburgh, Wheeling ana
Kentucky railroad TO meet committee
to the Directors OF that road to confer TO-
gether in relation to the right OF way
For the present, it is only proposed to
consult with those who own lots below
Franklin street, and the meeting ls to
he held at the heal Of the wharf, or
foot Of Union street, at one o'clock this
afternoon.
We beg to suggest 10 the owners OF
property along the line that liberal ar
rangements as to the right of way will do
much to insure the early building OF the
road and the early enjoyment of the
advantages its opening will afford. The
line has been SO located as to inflict as
little damage as possible to the private
property over which it passes, and it
will probably be found that IN a
majority Of cases no actual damage has
been inflicted at all. The company, 1t
should be remembered, is home cor
poration and the enterprise is one that
will certainly be productive OF much
public benefit. BESIDE, the company -
not overstocked with funds and cannot,
without serious embarrassment, pay
very heavily for the right Of way.
Liberality Oh the part ofthe lot holiers
will doubtless aid very much in the
prosecution of the work and will con-
fer a decided benefit upon the COM
munity at large.

Letter from ". Y.

Editors OF Tie Register:
Did your readers know the true posi-
ton OF A. B., the alb ab champion OF
the Wheeling and Tuscarawas Valley
Railroad Company? | would pay no
more attention to him, as there is moth
ing in his last article deserving atten-
ton.
| only want it to be known that as
this A. B. has deceived them in one
thing he is capable Of deliberately de-
ceiving them in every other. His over
weening vanity has disclosed the fact
that he is a Bridgeporter who has been
deceitfully and fraudulently assuming
TO be a citizen Of Wheeling, and has,
bv his articles, tried to impress Us that
he one Of us and has interests identl'
cal with ours. In this light let any one
read his articles and see the base
hypocrisy. | admit that he is a fit
person TO vindicate the moral honesty
of the Lake Shore and Tuscarawas
Valley Company.
This is another of the tricks" by
which bridgeport and Streator Il Co,
with their mythy switch" hope to
involve our people in the expenditure
of a million of dollars TO extend q
purely coal road to Wheeling Island
to and from which it will be toll, toll,
toll, till the funeral knell of Time
and when our million of dollars are
gone, we may have purely coal road,"
one end at the mouth Of Black river,
and the other end east of Back river.
But Wheeling will not be deceived
by such deceptive words as A. BIS,
whose patients are to be pitied indeed,
if he is as ignorant and reckless in ad-
ministering pills and plasters to his
smallpox patients in Bridgeport, as he
is in Singing ink in railroad matters.
Hereafter | shall assume that all
such articles in the interests OF the
Wheeling and Tuscarawas Valley trick,
no matter what new initials or name
their author may assume, emanate from
the same diseased brain, and are not
worthy OF attention. KY.

Ingraham this morning announced his
decision in the motion TO quash the in
dictment against Stokes. The decision
OF the Judge is lengthy and voluminous,
and he simply announced the most
salient points in the decision. After
reciting the grounds on which the mo-
ton to quash were brought, the Judge
briefly stated that his conclusions were
adverse to the granting of the motion
for the defense, and therefore declined
to qupsh the indictment pending for
murder. The court then adjourned till
Monday.

Two Real Crusoes.

The Paris Opinione National publishes a curious story respect ing two boys, aged about twelve, who, fresh from reading of "Ro- binson Crusoe," and tiLed of the school and civilized life. had run away from home to initiate De Foo's hero in a desert country.
 The field they choose for their adventures had the advantage of being nearer home than Juan Fer nandez-an island on the Seine, between Asnieres and Neuilly. A boat-man was crossing that piece of waste land a few evenings back, when he was surprised to see smoke issuing from 8 hut in the ground, and to hear juvenile vol ces. He soon discovered the en- trsnce to sort of cavern, the open ing of which had been conceded by brush-wood, and continuing his serch discovered the young tru- ants just as they were preparing their supper of four potatoes, cook ing in the embers. They had, be- sides, consisting of four rolls, some pieces of gingerbread, and a part of a salavoy; ana had also come prepared to renew their larder by fishing and hunting. oue eoDtri- outing a line and hooks and the other a bow and arrow; with the latter they said they had killed water rat and cooked it. Their bed consisted of 8 heap of shay ings, which they found ia barge.
 The boys. when questioned. said they lived in the Avenue de Neui. ly, and had been on the island for two days; they were evidently tired of this new existence, AS they allow the man t3 take them back to their parents, wto had been a!tn~s st iH dispair at iheir ab- aepce.

Early California Sosiety.

early times was the absolute free dom of social intercourse between man and man, and absence of those distinctions in society which cause men to jostle each other in ascend- ing the rounds of it's ladder of crystallized forms, time-honored conventionalities, affluenee and fashion. Pedigree could not be proven, even if it were princely- for, where all were strangers to each other, antecedents necessari- ly began and ended with the as- sumption of the claimant-and it was considered worthless, unless the presence ofmanhOod sustained the claim to distinction. Even in that event, pride forbade the prof. fer of credential. Thus it became necessary to admit all to the pri- vileges of the best of men until they proved themselves undeserv- ing; and then the reversed order of ascent was more quickly taken than belongs to the custom of re- fined society in old communities. Whatever the organization of so- ciety in its present order and general makeup may add in the way of stimulus to the progress of mankind, it must be acknowledged that it is the prolific mother of more than half the wretchedness and disastrous failures of it's indi- vidual members. Nothing but bar barism in an alternative would justify society as now constituted, with welth and fashion as the main elements of success life. A constant a ayonizing effort to be as miserable as you can seems to be the warp of our social economy.
 It was different in the early days. The relief which men found here from the rigid forms of so- ciety-the absence of the gra- duated scale of social influence was extremely favorable to the culture of the philosophic mood which renders one contented with himself and all the world. Re. iieved from the spirit of social in- toxicat;ou, one could soberly smile at the pretty annoyances which fret the ambition of the aspir;ng, from the cradle 10 the grave. Ncue of these disturbed the Forty ninc; ard if his food was not at ,y,,- wifi, ,3i.ASti0.l. he rest q at :

Wishing.

From logic down to fishing,
There isn't one that you can find
So very cheap as wishing.
A very choice diversion, too,

And not, as we are apt to do,
Prevent it and abuse it.

. My purse was somewhat fatter;
That might cheer the child Of need,
And not my pride to flatter;
That might make oppression reel,
As only good can make it,
And break the tyrant's rod Of steel,
As only gold can break it.

And every human passion
That hath its origin above,
Would come and keep in fashion;
That scorn, and jealousy, and hate,
And every base emotion,
Were buried fifty fathoms deep,
Beneath the waves of ocean.

From treachery aud SANDER.

That women ne'er were roVers
