The Dresden Branch Road.

The Branch Road of the C. Mt. V. &
c. r. r. from Oxford to Dresden by
way of Warsaw is under construction,
and the first four miles from Oxford is
nearly completed,-would have, had it
not been for this last cold weather.
This road unites at Dresden with anew
road now completed to GAINESVILLE, and
with connections in all directions. The
people along the line have pledged the
right of way, and have subscribed $751;
$50. Col. Alex. Cassil is the engineer
in charge. The chief work on the line
is tunnel through hill between War
saw and Dresden, six miles from War
saw and twelve miles from Dresden,
and on the divide between the Wapako-
META and White Woman. This tunnel
will be l 400 feet in length in the clear,
and 4, 700 feet for cut and tunnel. 1t is
through limestone rock, and may or
may not be required to be arched ac-
cording to the condition of the rock. 1t
will be heavy job, and will take eigh-
teen months, and perhaps two years to
complete the work. 1t Is under the gen.
eral direction of Judge Hurd, and the
officers of the C. Mt. V. & C. r. r. and
will be very important connection for
the line. We hope the work will be
pushed forward rapidly.

A Suddpn Death.

1t is with heavy heart, We sit down
to our work of chronicling the quick
blotting out of bright, young life
that of our dear friend and school-mate
Walter S. Tidball, son of Wilson lid
ball. He was killed on the evening of
Wednesday, Dec. 14th. by the backing
of an engine, on the P. F. w: & c. R.R.
"Walt," as every person called him here,
was on his way to deliver dispatch,
and stopped with one foot on the plat
form of the depot, and the other on the
track, to await the departure of train
on the opposite track, not noticing an
engine backing toward him on the same
track on which he was standing, the
Tender of which caught and entangled
his clothes, dragging him along the
ground between it and the platform,
breaking both legs, and otherwise mu-
tilating him before the engine could be
stopped. He was taken into the depot,
where he lived about two hours and
half. He was sensible to the very last.
He did not appear to suffer much. His
injuries being SO great that they rem
dered pain impossible. He told his
mother that he was ready to die, and
indeed he was if goodness and purity
are consulted. Quite number of his
young friends, in compliance with his
dying request, went to Alliance to at
tend his funeral. Walter was nearly
twenty years of age. He worked in the
REPUBLICAN of this place for the last
IS months, up to six weeks ago when he
went to Alliance, Ohio, to learn Teleg-
raghy, the printing business not being
conducive to his health. His brother
who is Express agent in Alliance, graf
flied Waits fond wish by getting him
situation in the Telegraph Office, in
which position he was learning fast.
His desire was to be on or near the r.
X. the accomplishment Of which re-
suited so fatally. His parents who have
lived in Millersburg for over twenty
years, moved to Alliance about three
weeks since, where all their sons are.
Walt was the youngest of three, the
pet of the family and great favorite of
all who knew him. Generous to fault
a true hearted, noble, good boy. Slow
to anger and quick to forgive One
whose ''friends were legion;" whose
s'faults were few;" whose death cast q |
dire gloom over the entire corps Of his |
cquaintances-that of Walter. Here |
we have but another striking evidence |
that where 'sman proposes, God dispOs-
es." Walter, dear friend, farewell.
''sleep the sleep that knows no waking,"-
till Gabriel's Trumpet shall call us all |
to our final account. Rest on with the |
assurance that your memory shall re-
main ever fresh and green in the hearts |
of your friends and companions. To
his parents we extend our sincere SYM
pathy; to his mother especially, we say
that we feel deeply for you in your sad
To his brothers and all |
others, we exhort you to heed Walters
dying advice: ''Be always prepared"

Hints About Guns.

An English journal impresses on the
minds of all sportsmen, old and young
the necessity Of caution in the use of
firearms. Every year witnesses some
dreadful accidents-many fatal, others
attended with the loss of eyesight or a
limb. A large portion of these might
be averted with tolerable care. The
following "golden rules" are suggested !:
1. Never load or leave loaded gun
in the house.
2. Never carry a gun in position
that if it went off accidentally it would
injure any one.
3. Never carry a gun cooked when
scrambling through hedge or leaping
a ditch.
4. Never leave a gun loosely against
tree or wall, as if it falls, or is sudden
ly moved away, it is liable to 60 off.
5. Never in sport point toward an
other loaded or unloaded piece of fire.
arms.
By strictly adhering to the above
rules many serious accidents would be
avoided.

discovery of printing, where two elderly gen
tlemen, with the aid Of the devil uhen as now
an innocent lad), have taken the first impress

the importance Of the event asserts itself in
their minds. Fancy the feelings of that trio

gaze with Us upon the splendid pages now be-
fore us. Here are specimens Of the most ex-
quisite workmanship in wood-cut printing, in
quantity sufficient for a very good-sized VOL

to attempt even the briefest critical notice OF
the pictures, which collectively form a most
superb gallery of art, but we must express our
admiration of the beautiful picture of the In

Lecture by Rev. Sharp.

The Lecture that was announced to
be delivered on last Friday evening by
Rev. w. j. Sharp, was not given owing
to the fact that the proper authorities
forgot to have the Hall warmed and
lighted. The people and lecturer came
and found everything dark and cold
about the Hall. Of necessity the lee
ture was postponed till Thursday eve
ming this week. Such negligence is in
excusable. We hope there will be a
good turn out tonight, Thursday. The
subject is "The Gipsies." This lecture
will be interesting. Next lecture in two
weeks, will be on "The Jew; the Bank
er of Europe, and the School-master of
the World"

Speaking of the importance Of man.
ufactories to a town, an exchange re-
marks:
"One mandatory employing hun
dred men will support an additional
population of 500 people. These hum
dred families of 500 people will annual
ly disburse on an average the sum of
$3.50 for each family, or $4,000 in the
aggregate. This money will be drawn
into the city from the outside, where
manufactured products are consumed.
The interest of this $4,000 will be 81

Death of Walter s. Tidball.

1t is with pain that we are called up
on to record the sudden death Of one
who was well known in this communi-
ty, and one who has been intimately
associated with us during the past two
wears. Walter S. Tidball, son of Will
son Tidball, late of Millersburg, was
suddenly killed at Alliance on Wednes-
day evening about nine o'clock. He was
employed in the Telegraph Office, and
had started to deliver a message, and
had to cross the track of the p. Ft. W.
& c. z. r. He stepped down from the
platform, and seeing train passing on
the outside track, he halted, with one
foot on the railing of the first track,
and the other on the platform. Stand
ing thus he did not notice an engine
backing toward him from behind. The
tender struck him, and drew him down
between the engine and platform,
breaking his legs and otherwise severe
ly injuiring him. He died in about two
hours. On the 1st Of January, 1871,
Walter entered our office for the pur-
pose of learning the printing trade. He
remained with us until about six weeks
ago, when he gave up the printing busi-
ness, as it did not agree with his health,
and went to Alliance to learn Teleg-
raghy. We were sorry to have him
leave us, as we have seldom met with
young man.in whom We could put such
implicit confidence. Walter was well
beloved by all his associates, and had a
large circle of warm friends. He was
esteem ed for his correct de-
pertinent and business habits. We were
told by one of his associates here, that
Walter kept him and others out of
many mischievous trick. The entire
community here deeply sympathize with
the family of the deceased in their sore
bereavement. He was conscious to the
last and talked almost necessarily. He
seemed to suffer but little. He said that
he was prepared to die, and urged upon
all who were around him, to be pre-
pared. This is another solemn warning
TO us all to have our "lights trimmed
and burning" ready for the call of the
Master.
The funeral took place on Friday.
Several Of our people attended. We
regret exceedingly that We of necessity
we're pre- vented from attending.

The Editor.

An editor is a man who lives on what
other people owe him, until he starves
to death. A subscriber is a person who
takes paper and says he is very much
pleased with it, and he tells everybody
else that he ought to subscribe AZ
ter he has asubscribed" for about four
or five years the editor writes to him
and asks him for his just dues, and then
the subscriber calls on or writes back to
the editor and tells him not to send him
his old paper any more, for there is
nothing in it, and then the poor editor
goes and staryes some more.
