This is another organization formed in
1870 The new extension of the Ottawa *
Prescott Railroad to the great lumber mills
at Ottawa seemed to give promise of open
ing largely increased traffic in lumber from
that section. \ meeting was held at OF
tawa by the lumbermen and the managers
of the Ottawa Railroad, and those of the
Vermont Central road, and after full con-
sideration of the proposals made by the
lumbermen. the Ottawa road determined to
proceed at once with the construction of
their branch road, extending it directly to
the mills and lumber yards, provided the
Vermont Central would supply the necces-
sarv cars to be devoted entirely to the lum-
Der business. transporting it without break
lug bulk direct from the place of its manu-
facture to market To do this effectually
required. as it was estimated, five hun
bred box cars, to be increased from time
to time as the growth of the business de-
manded.
The trustees and managers were in no
condition financially to undertake this out
Law of money, and hence were obliged to
forego the business or encourage the build
ing of the cars from other sources. \ ear
company was formed under the above name,
and two hundred cars were contracted for at
the rate of two and half cents per mile car
service; the trustees and managers reserv-
ing the right at any time to terminate said
contract by purchasing the cars.
The result Of this contract, so far from
exhibiting loss to the Vermont Central
Company, has been an actual profit to them;
the revenues derived from connecting roads
on the usual rate for car service per ton per
mile for the use of these same cars having
welded to the railroad more than has been
paid to the ear company at the contract
rate. The trustees and managers have,
therefore. been actual gamers under the
contract. The cars of that company, as
will appear from the statements of the mas
ter of freight transportation, have never been
permitted to take precedence of the cars be-
longing to the road, but have always been
set aside on the sidings whenever the bust
ness was slack, 50 as to keep the cars OF the
road fully occupied.

tborized TO borrow three hundred thousand
dollars 10 extinguish the liabilities Of the
Trustees and Managers incurred in the
Development and improvement of the prop

In 1863 a further loan of five hundred
thousand dollars was authorized, and if APP

dred thousand. making in all one million

In 1871 authority was granted the Yer
mont a Canada to further increase their
capital stock to the amount of five hundred
thousand dollars and to deliver the same to
the trustees and managers in settlement OF
certain expenditures made by the trustees

SPECIAL NOTICES.
False Theories Overthrow

We live under a new medical dispense
ton, very different from that under which
so many Of onr forefathers died. The sick
with mercury, nor Frustrated with violent
cathartics, nor blistered on their shaven
heads Ever since the introduction of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, twenty years ago,
renovation and restoration, not depletion
and proStration, have been the watchwords
of the judicious portion Of the profession.
The remarkable success OF this famous
vegetable preventive, invlgorant and cor
receive has worked complete revolution
in the general treatment of disease. At
first the dogmatic members Of the faculty
would not believe in 1t. WHAT" they
exclaimed, "cure liver complaint without
mercury, chronic rheumatism without
colchicum, fever and ague without quiz
nine! Impossible" But the most obsti-
nate incredulity must yield in the end to
practical demonstration. From that time
to the present dyspepsia, biliousness, inter.
mittent fevels, muscular diseases, nervous
complaints and constipation have vanished
under the operation of the great specific. in
at least ninety per cent Of the cases in
which it has been used as a remedy for those
ailments, while as a preventive of all mala-
dies generated by change OF climate, sud-
den revulsions OF temperature, epidemic
poison in the atmosphere, and unwhole-
some water, Its beneficial effects have been
SO obvious and uniform as TO secure the
most perfect confidence in its properties as
an antidote, safeguard and cure.

as Colonel jackson had been a candi-

was only defeated by the registration

Cleveland Accepts.

The City Council of Cleveland, on
Tuesday evening, adopted resolution
deciding to enter upon and take posses.
sion of portion of the Ohio canal
within the city limits, as authorized by
the recent act of the Legislature. This,
if we understand the sense of certain
Cleveland gentlemen interested in the
Valley road, opens up a splendid route
into the city, which, in view of it's many
advantages, can be obtained at much
less than its original cost. Cleveland
is certainly to be congratulated upon
this addition to her railway advantages,
and the Valley road upon so favorable
proposition.-Akron Beacon.

York and Baltimore and the National
Capital, after the Wheeling and Lake
Erie railway and the Hempfeld and
ConueIlsyille "cut Off and the line
from Point of Rocks, on the Potomac,

prove extremely interesting to the
friends Of the first mentioned line as
we'll as to the citizens of Sandusky,
Toledo and, indeed, to all the Great
West, beyond these lake ports and the
people of Ohio in the vicinity OF the
Wheeling line.
The distance between Sandusky and
Baltimore via the Baltimore and OHIO
line and its connections, is $50 miles.

By the terms OF the contract between
the Wheeling and Lake Erie company
and the parties who have undertaken
the construction and equipment Of that
road. $4,000 per mile of local SUBJ
scription must be secured before the
road can be built. The contractors
put in $4,000 per mile and negotiate
the bonds Of the company for the bal
ance necessary to build the road, viz ::
$4,000 per mile. The Wheeling and
Lake Erie company have sufficient
means subscribed and pledged to make
up the necessary amount if Wheeling
makes the subscription asked from her,
viz: 100000. With this subscription
the road becomes a fixed fact. If it
does become so, the contractors will
negotiate $4,000 bonds OF the company
per mile in addition to the $4,000 now
arranged for and apply the proceeds
to the building Of the bridge,
This will amount to over 100000
They also offer to raise the balance
necessary for building the bridge on the
bridge company's bonds.
The acts of the Legislature granting
permission 10 Council to take vote on
subscribing to the Wheeling and Lake
Erie and the Wheeling and Tuscarawas
Valley roads both forbid Council SUBJ
scribing unless the companies give
satisfactory guarantees that their roads
shall come clear over both branches Of
the river to the east bank, and, OF
course, to do this the bridge must be
built.
The success Of the two projects, the
bridge and the Wheeling and Lake
Erie road, is so inseparable, the two
going hand in hand together, that the
Council acted wisely in providing for
submitting to popular vote the proposed
subscription to each Of these enterprises
on the same day. We believe that a
proposition is also on foot for submitting
to the people the propriety of sub.
scription to the capital stock of the
Wheeling and Tuscarawas Valley road.
litter a determination has been reached
in the other case, should that be favor
able to the building Of the bridge,
the Wheeling and Tuscarawas Valley
road will be in shape, when organized,
to comply with the conditions of the
subscription and put their depot on this
side Of the river. II the building of the
bridge and the Wheeling and Lake Erie
road be first secured, the other project
may be made available. 1t would
seem advisable therefore to vote first
upon the propositions already submitted,
and afterwards upon the Tuscarawas
Valley subscription.

Senator Sumner, as usual, don't know
where he stands. He spoke well of the
ticket, but declares that he will wait
till after the Philadelphia Convention
and see if that "bold, bad man, Grant"

Administration men admit that the
Democratic party has been greatly
strengthened, and do not affect to de-
clare any longer that the campaign will
be a one-sided contest. In the calm

THEY have q law in Massachusetts
that makes all railroad or street car
conductors, station agents, &c, special
constables, with authority to arrest
without a warrant any parties who are
disorderly on the cars or who IN any
manner violate the laws. The idea is
an excellent one and deserves to be
adopted here. Fortunately there is
not much necessity in West Virginia
for special arrests on the railroads, but
the lack of authority for such arrests
has sometimes caused great inconvenl-
ence and annoyance to passengers.

If the subscriptions in contemplation
he made to the railroad bridge, suffi-
Gent amount OF money will be immedi-
ately supplied to build it without delay.
Three hundred thousand dollars from
the CITY, one hundred thousand from the
county and four hundred thousand from
the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad
Company will build the bridge without
much further financial trouble. If Mr..
McCULLoCH wants to put in one or two
hundred thousand dollars to finish the
matter at once and thus obviate the
necessity of having to borrow that
amount to complete the structure, it will
be very well, but the bridge can be
built without receiving a dollar from
the Cleveland and Pittsburgh road.

A Washington correspondent of the
York World describes the scene in
Congress on the reception of the news
of Greeley's nomination, and says that,
after few moments of surprise, the
first question asked was: What will
the Democrats do about it?' The
Grant Republicans assumed at once
that they would repudiate it, but they
piled their inquiries in vain to confirm
such an assumption. The Democratic
members, with great unanimlty, de.
clared in response that neither as iudi.
viduals nor as representatives were they
competent to decide for the party 50
important a matter. They spoke well
of Mr.. Greeley; his honest character,
his admitted ability, his indomitable
fight against corruption, his generous
course towards the South, &C.; but
they were willing that the party,
through its properly constituted organi-
zatiop, should decide whether it would
indorse the Cincinnati ticket. What
ever the National Democratic Conven-
ton, representing the hundreds of thou
sands of Democrats throughout the
land, should decide they would abide
by; there was hardly a Democrat who
objected to that course. If individual
members were to either publicly de-
clare for or against him, it was assumed
that it would have a demoraliziug effect
in the party organization. Many Of
the Southern Democrats in and out of
Congress were enthusiastic for Greeley,
and believed that he could secure most
of the electoral vote of the South.
Senators Trumbull and Fenton tele-
graphed to Cincinnati q warm
Endorsement of Greeley and Brown.

THE Cleveland and Pittsburgh Rail-
road Company pays about Forty Thous'
and Dollars per year for transportation
of ireights to and from this side of the
river. This sum alone is nearly seven
per cent on 100000, or two thirds Of
the probable cost of the bridge. The
income necessary to enable the bridge
company to pay the seven per cent
proposed in their charter may certainly
relied upon when to the $4,000 now
paid by the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
road is added the business that the
Wheeling and Lake Erie road will
probably bring. 1t is not likely that
the city will ever lose anything on the
bonds Of the wheeling and Ohio
