There has been decided improvement
in the feeling among the citizens to-
wards the Wheeling and Lake Erie
railroad within the last five days. They
manifest disposition to aid in pushing
this grand enterprise forward by in
creasing their stock, and others who
had not taken any special interest in
this matter are disposed to aid with
their money and influence to make this
road a success, Notwithstanding Rail
road Man." in the Lntelhgsncsr, who
who proved, no doubt satisfactory to
himselfif to no one else, that there is
mo advantage in having q short rail-
road line" RAILROAD Man" is like the
Irisbman who took the stage coach in
preference to the railroad car, at the
same price, because he would get to
ride longer. We bespeak patent right
70 RAILROAD Man" for his discovery.
Nail !MH.-The directors OF the
Andes Nail Works, Of Martins Ferry,
met at Mr.. William Clark's, Saturday
May IL. After examining the progress
the company had made in the way OF
stock, &c, they had a consultation
upon the propriety of proceeding to
work, and finally decided to advertise
at once for propositions for making
the brick sufficient to erect the mill, and
also Tor the stone work. The Board
adjourned to meet at the Town Hall on
Saturday, the 18th day OF May, at 4
o'clock P. NJ. There is a little stock
not vet taken, which can be had by
applying soon to Mr.. Dovener, of
Wheeling, L. Spence, or at the Com
mercial Bank of Martins Ferry.
The following Martins Ferry items
we clip from the last Commercial:
Messrs. Sweeney and McCluney
have shipped during the past week,
fourteen hundred and ninety-nine
packages of glass to different parts Of
the country, from New Orleans TO Cali
fornia. A few days since they made a
large shipment direct to San Francisco
Some time since a number of the
coopers here came to the conclusion
that they could better advance their
interest by establishing branch of the
Coopers' International Union; hence
they made application to the proper
authorities, who issued to them such
papers as were required for the organi-
zation. The following are the elected
officers: George Snodgrass, President;
O.. j. Callahan, Vice President; w. P.
Snodgrass, Recording Secretary; L.
Hayes, Financial Secretary; T. Mears,
Corresponding Secretary; &. Watson,
Treasurer; R. Greig, Sergeant-at-arms.
A great deal of complaint is being
made of the absence Of health officer.
There is certainly a pressing need Of
that gentleman just now putting in his
appearance about the grounds Of every
house in our town. In many local..
ties throughout the place the stencil
arising from privies and pig-pens is
about as much as common olfactories
can take in. The sanitary condition Of
things here needs looking into very
much, and unless attended to promptly
much sickness will inevitably be the
result.
On last Tuesday evening little boy
named Charley Beck, aged about nine
years, had an ugly cash cut in his
head, by a stone thrown by a negro
boy. The practice of stone throwing
prevails to considerable extent among
the BOYS in town, and severe measures
should be resorted to in order to have 1t
broken up. 1t may not be generally
known that there is an ordinance
against this dangerous "fup," but such
is the case, and parents would do well
to bear this in mind, and keep an eye
on their children; otherwise it may be
forcibly brought to their notice by the
presentation Of bill by Marshal Han
son-"$l and costs"
