The Farmers Club, of Davidson county,
met in this city yesterday at 11:30 A. NJ.
In the absence of the President, DR.. Foster
was called to the choir.
Owing to the absence of the Secretary
the reading of the last meetings. minutes
were dispensed with. The following mem
bers were present. DR.. Blackman, t. Fam
ming, Gen. Jackson, A. B. Robertson, Gen.
Harding, DR.. r. P. Foster, DR.. Williams,
VIM. Watkins, p. A. Smith, NJ. Campbell,
and Thos. Heron.

ship.
Col. Vincent Marmaduke, of the st. Louis
Illustrated Agricultural Journal, n. Wal
lace, of the Tennessee AgricltlturdliSt, and
Col French, of McMinnvllle, were pres
ent.
Gen. Harding read very interesting pa
per on the subject of measuring the fall of
ran. Ills plan was to obtain tin cup Of
equal circumference at the top and bottom,
and secure this on some plane in the open
air. The amount Of rain found in the cup
would be an infallible index to the amount
which had fallen. 1t was a cheap mode,
and if our farmers availed themselves Of it
they would not plow their soil when it was
too wet. Many benefits would be derived
from its use.
GEN. EWELL'S DEATH
was suggested, and the following reSolu-
tons, by DIR. Williams, introduced and
adopted unanimously:
Whereas, Since our last meeting, an all
wise Providence has seen proper to remove
by death a beloved member, Christian
A..
ing farmer, Gen. R. S. Ewell;
Resolved, That the Farmers Club, by
his, the first death, has lost one of our most
gifted and useful members.
Resolved, That we truly sympathise with
the sadly bereaved family.
Resolved, That the above be entered on

The East Liners have made the

the most honorable manner, and now
that the Board of Directors have Civ
en- their unanimously decision in fa-
vor of our line, it becomes the busI-
ness men of Toledo and Columbus. il
they desire the future trade of our
people, to acquiesce in the decision
and give the enterprise their cordial
co operation.
The enterprise is one Of vital i'm
portance, and every good citizen in
terested in the line should put hi

all his might till it is completed.

@A great deal has been said
about the policy of Secretary Bout
wells method of refundino two hun
dred millions of the public debt last
year and severe criticism have been
passed on the alleged unnecessary
expense Of the exchange. Mr.
Boutwell, was before the committe
of Ways and Means, on Tuesday,
and defended his action. To the
charge that interest had been lost by
! the ninety days notice to holders of
called bonds he answered that such
loss was practically unavoidable un-
der any plan. because even with the
money on hand to meet the cali it
must first be realized from the sale
OF bonds which would bear interest
| from the date of issue He main
tanned that the interest paid and all
expenses of negotiation, direct or in
direct, had been reimbursed to the
Treasury in saving interest to the
first of June last, and that since then
over a million of dollars had been
saved in reduced interest, or two
million dollars annually, with interest
compounded during the term of the
debt. Jay Cooke also testified tC
the merits of the Secretary's plan o.
converting the debt into bonds a
lower rate of interest, which expert
ence has shown can be carried ou
without the slight monetary or COM
mercial dlsturbance.-C. Herald.

DEATH IN TIE La UP.

We are called upon to record an
other shocking case of death from
kerosene. just at dusk Tuesday
evening, Mary Jacobs, ten years Of
age, 105 Case avenue; was attemp-
ting to fill lamp. While tEus en-
gaged the lamp exploded, covering
her with the blazing fluid and setting
fire to her clothing from head to
foot. Other members of the family
rushed to her aid, and the neIghbors,
alarmed b. the screams for help, has
tened TO the scene. As soon as pos
sible the flames upon the girl were
extinguished. but not until she was
so terribly burned that she died q
short time thereafter.
Mrs Jacobs, her mother, while en-
deavoring to save her daughter, cut
her wrist very severely with a glass
fragment of the lamp. She bled pro
fusely before medical assistance
could reach her, and fears were even
entertained that she might not re-
cover, from the great loss of blood
At last accounts she was in criti-
cal condition. A younger daughte
was also quite badly burne |, thougl
not seriously &C Herald.

EwFor several years Mr. Thomas
Sanderson has been Deputy Post
master of Springfield. AID in full
charge of that office, his mother,
Mrs. Sanderson, being Postmistress.
Last Friday Mr.. Sanderson was
arrested and taken to Cincinnati
on charge of abstracting money or
ders from their envelopes and appro
priating the amounts named in the
orders from the Money Order fund
His specuiiaat.iiccn,a continued SO long in
this direction that iongscc." oonceal-
ment was impossible. Persons who
should have received money through
the Money Order branch demanded
payment of him, and he paid. By
borrowing of his friends he was en-
abled to keep ahead for some time,
but his friends failing at last to sup
ply him, he appropriated the defici-
ency in the Money order fund from
the General Fund in the Office and
the irreguIarity was then discovered
by the authorities at Washington.
We are panied to hear of this, as
Mr.. Sanderson was very promising
young man, and no susL Licion of a
dishonest act has ever been cast up
on a single member of his highly es
teemed family.-Urbana Gazette.

A meeting was held at Lima, on
Tuesday afternoon of last week, to
consider the proposition of building
a railroad from Lima to Wheeling,

The line of the road proposed,
passes through the counties of Har

principal towns through which it will
pass are as follows, to-wit: Kenton
Marion, Mt Gilead, Mt. Vernon,

and other small places; the length
of the route being about one hun

line.
The East-liners offered $517, 900, q
part of the right Of way and other
advantages. After considering the
two propositions, with the other
claims of the competing routes, the
Company adopted the Eastern line.
Upon the decision being rendered
the West liners met and passed the
following resolutions

of the Toledo IL Columbus Railroad
Company be requested to open books
at once for the subscription of capi-

A NORTH AND SOUTH RAIL-
ROAD.

Our people though defeated in
securing the location Of the c. IL L.
Railroad are not discouraged. Suin-
cient money has been raised to build
a road from this point to Toledo,
and the citizens of Hardin, Hancock,
Wood and Lneas propose TO build it.
Columbus and intermediate points
are moving toward the raising of the
necessary capital to construct it
soHthward, and it is now confidently
believed by our people that within
the next sixty days, the work, at
least on the northern division,-be-
tween this place and Toledo,-will
be under contract. The road can be
built and definite proposals are now
in writing to build it by subscrip-
ton of the aid now raised in stock,
mithoW the donation Of dollar
outside of the right of way.
While the eastern line has made n
donation, outright, of over half 4
million of dollars, to secure the
Hooking Valley road, which cannot
be placed under contract, under
lhree months from this time, the
western line. can if our people move
promutly in the matter, secure con
tract from reliable parties in the next
thirty days, without any donation

the question was so considered that
it then failed in all the townships but
