The suggestion made at the railroad
meeting at the Court House on last Sat
urday, that the townships of Short
Creek, Cadiz and Stock have it in their
power easily to secure the Wheeling and
Lake Erie railroad, may be worthy Of
some consideration. We await further
developments.
Meantime it would be well for citizens
on the several proposed lines to go to
work now and see what is the largest
amount Of stock and right of way that
can be secured on each line. 1t is q
free fight and fair field. Those who
put forth the best effort and accomplish
the most will succeed, and ought to
succeed.

LOCAL MATTER "a.

a MAIL RoBBER Convicted. james
smith, who was arrested in this CITY few
days ago by Captain John Frey, charged
with robbmg the mail, of which he was
carrier on the route between Abbcyville
and GAINESVILLE, in this State, had his trial
before Judge Rives, in Danvlle, on yester-
day. Smith was ably defended by NIessrs.
Thomas S.,Flou1noy & Sons, attorneys at
law, and the prosecution was conducted by
j. ). Slater, Esq, Assistant United States
Attorney, who in this, as in all other post
Office cases OF which he has had the man
agement, showed a degree of vim and
earncstness quite crcditable to him as an
attorney, and earning for him reputation
possessed by few gentlemen of his age in
the State.
The jury found Smith guilty on three
counts of the indictment, but Judge Rives,
thinking the consequent punishment too
great, instructed the jury afterward to
find only Oh the third count, which
was done, and Smith was sentenced to
ten years confinement in the Albany
penitentiary. This case, as we stated at
the time Of the arrest, was worked up bv
Captain Frey, and has resulted, like all
others in which he makes arrests, in the
conviction and punishment of the guilty.
Captain Frey is ably assisted in his oner-
Gus duties by Mr.. Lewis.
