he Editor Of tho Commercial

To the Editor Of inc Commercial
OXFORD, March 4, 1S72.-A few days ago
I noticed scheme for supplying the river
with water from artificial reservoirs. l haye
q plan to suggest certainly more feasible,
more practicable, and more economical.
When nature has furnished a reservoir Suf-
lcient for all purposes, it would be useless to
construct others which might not accom-
plish the end intended. By cutting n canal
from Wcstfcld. on Lake Erie, to Mayyille,
on Lake Cfautauqua, distance of little more
than ten miles, direct communication would
be opened between Lake Erie and the Allie
ghany river. BY a slight dredging of the
connection between Lake ChautaEqtta
and the river, channel large enough
for an ample supply Of water would
be obtained. BY constructing locks ut
the head CT the canal this supply
could be so regulated as to the amount neces-
sary, and navigation kept open during the
whole year between Pittsburgh and Cincin-
natl, keeping up steady supply OF coal,
lessening the charge of transportation OF
freight, and insuring many other advantages,
not only to the inhabitants of Cincinnati,
but to NIL the intermediate towns on the
river. The work could be completed this
summer, and the advantages derived from 1t
in one year would pay the cost OF all the con-
struction.
l think this is new plan TO overcome some
Of our difficulties, and hope you Will put 1t
before your readers, and oblige 4.

A most strange and thrilling romance IN
real life has just eliminated In this county,
and we hasten to lay its details before or
readers. Itappears that short time pre-
viOus to the breaking out Of the rebellion a
young married man named Eldridge Miller,
with his wife and two vcry<small children.
emigrated from Galloway county to Arkan-
sas. When the war came on he enlisted in
the Confederate army, and soon after was
taken prisoner in action and sent to q
Chicago prison. Alter remaining confined
there for some time he was released
on condition that he should enlist to 60 West
and fight the Indians. He had not been in
the West long before he was taken captive by
the red skins. After a long and weary cap
tirity Of years, he at length made his escape
and returned TO Arkansas. Meanwhile his
wife, supposng him to be dead, had left
there and joined her relatives In Henry
county, Tenn; and here, after searching for
her in vain in Arkansas, the loDg-lost nus
banb came some two weeks ago in quest Of
her and his children. He found her living
at Grassland, in this county, but no longer
belonging to him. \ man named William
Schrader, widowcr with nine children,
and formerly Galloway countEln, had be-
come cndmored of her i'll Arkansas, and,
following her to Tennessee, had finally
prevailed upon her to marry and remove
with him to this county. Finding her
again married, he did not seek to induce
her to return to him, but merely laid
claim to his children. These were refused
him, and he instituted suit to recover them.
The case was to have had hearing OH Mon
day last, but on the Sunday previous, at the
wonan's instance. there was Il private inter-
view between her and her first husband,
which resulted in their clipping together,
leaving Schrader in the lurch, and going, it
is supposed, back to Arkansas. Schradcr
does not seem to take his loss very greatly to
heart, but says his wife was perfectly right IN
@oing of with her first husband if she loved
him best.
