which his counsel had confidently

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

At Sunday-school concert in a
village church a German father and
mother sat in the gallery, watching
the exercises with an expression of
expectant interest. BY and by,as a
class rose to give its Bible recita-
ton, the faces of the parents were
all aglow, and they seemed almost
ready to cry aloud: "There she is.
There is our child!" Indeed, they
pointed to her with evident Joy and
pride-a little German girl in that
class having her part in its recita-
tions. Many such parents from 9TH
er lands than ours are thus
being drawn to our schools and sane
ctuaries through their. interest in
their children. The Sunday school
concert is link between the school
and other public religious services
by which many parents are won to
the house of God. ".f i'4''=i

WHEELING & LAKE ERIE ROAD.

"President Wood visited our place
last Monday, ,and from him we learn
that the condition of this enterprise
is very encouraging. The old con-
tract which delayed the operations
of the managers of the road, has
been satisfactorily settled and sur
rendered, SO that the company is
free to form new contracts. A high
ly advantageous offer has been made
by some of the most reliable and
successful contractors at the East to
build and completely equip the road
in two years, which is quite pro ba-
BILE will be accepted by the company.
1t is probable that the arrange
ment purposed with the Cleveland
Valley Road, to build jointly from
Zoar, about fifty miles to Wheeling,
will be definitely made in fewdays
The injunction on the Wheeling
subscription, will be determined at
the term of Court to be held there in
June. A very short time will place
the business of the Road on a sub
stantial basis for operations, and the
work, when commenced. will be
pushed forward vigorously to its
completion" '-' ---i '''''

LOUISIANA.

At last Governor Kellogg, of
Louisiana, has taken determined
steps towards the suppression of dis
order in that State. Besides Or
dering the arrest of McEnery for
treason and other offenses calculated
to produce disturbance, he has given
instructions to the local militia to
preserve the peace at any costs and
to'cfown this plan of'calnpaign, Of
fers large reward for such evidence
as may lead to the conviction Of the
Grant parish rioters. Had Kellogg
shown equal nerve from the first
there would have been little or nc
disturbance in Louisiana. When
the chief executive officer is discoy-
cred weak and vacillating in policy
desperadoes are emboldened, bu,
when he shows firmncss of purpose
they are apt to subside very rapidly

his position honestly the fact re
mains that he is recognized as Gov.

him to see tat the laws are observed

THE COAL FAMINE

The mystery Of the English acoal
famine" is beginning to come to
light. It is the wonderfully increas-
ed development of the iron trade
which had produced the scarcity and
enormous prices. The "output'will
be soon greatly increased by the help
OF machinery, and deeper pits will
be worked in all directions. There
is plenty of coal far down which, it
is estimated, will pay for the cost of
working. In few ars,with more
econmical methods of consumption
they will probably have prices farely
down again. The great cost in
working a deep pit is the first cost.
This will now be met.

CROP PROSPECT.

Notwithstanding the fact of win

and severity, followed by an junusu-
ally cold, dreary spring, the crop
propects in the great agricultural
districts of the West are reported
by the papers of that region as be-
ing quite encouraging, and it is
thought the Yield of all cereals will
be SO abundant that the great thor
oughfares of transportation will be
taxed to their utmost to bring the
harvest to market.

BRCELAND CAPTURED.

Henry Briceland, the convicted
murderer, who escaped from the
Washington county jall on Saturday
the 18th inst,was recaptured on Fri
day evening last about one mile east
of Golfers Station on the Pan Han
die Railroad. He had taken refuge
for the day in the hay loft of Messrs
Roberts and Caldwell, where he
was discovered by the brothers.
They demanded his surrender, and
Briceland gave up with barely a
word. He was much exhausted hay
ing suffered from cold and hunger,
and although he asked to be releas-
ed, he was willing to- go with his
captors when they annouced that it
was their duty to take him. At the
solicitation of the prisoner, the Cald-
wells themselves took him, back to
Washington, travelling nearly, all
night on horseback. He was. Of
course, received with much satisfac
tion by Sheriff Ramsey, who had
been severly blamed for his escape,
and the prisoner expressed regret
that he had attempted the movement
at all. He states that the escape
had been planned three weeks before
its execution, and that when decided
upon it,was found necessary that all
the prisoners should be included in
the plot. He and another prisoner
named Edwards each made
keys from lead pipe, but only his,
Briceland's keys fitted the locks. A
mould was cut in the bottom of his
stool and the lead was melted on. a
piece of sheet iron. He says no out
side help was given him except that
obtained by the use of knife which
lie got some one to purchase for him
while he was IN court on trial.
Itappears that Briceland's capture
was certain, even if he had escaped
the Caldwells. Deputy Sheriff Ram |
sey and other officers were close on
his track, having discovered where
Brlceland had eaten his last meal
from ham stolen from the smoke
house of Mr.. S. S. Gardner. The
prisoner had built a fire in retired |
place to cook some of the ham, when
he heard his pnrsuers coming, and
he ran away and hid in the hay

DEMAND FOR coRs,

The low price of corn in the Un-
tied States seems to have created q
large foreign demand for that sta
pie instead of wheat. According
to late report of the Bureau of Sta
tistics, there was exported 81, ,931
2S2, bushels for the fifteen months
ended September 80, 1872, against
19,44,7 ZIG bushels for correspond
ing period to September 30, 1871
while of wheat there was shipped 46
96l, 355, bushels for the fifteen
months ended September 30, 1871
against 36,S72,712, bushels in the
similar period to September 30, last
year. The difference in the present.
rates of wheat and corn is consider
ably greater than it was during the
period to which these statistics re
fer, and it is probable that the pres
ent summer will show still larger
increase in the foreign consumatioI
of the latter important breadstuf
staple. r.tg ;4oua5- -i.F

WHAT is PERSONAL PROPERTY.

In this country there is peculiar
sanctity attached to dead body,the
English law which premits, or did
permit, the seizure of corpse for
debt and the retaining it, met per
mitting burial until the debt was
paid by the family is one terribly
revolving to theAmerican mind. The
French with all their sentimentality
appear to be very little troubled
with respect for the temple of the
soul. after the soul has departed.
A person lately died in France who
possessed set of false teeth. In the
United States it is a matter of
course that such teeth are buried
with the body, being considered part
'oiit. In this case it appears that
one OF the relatives desired to have
the teeth, but his wishes were oppos-
ed by others, particularly by one of
the heirs, who claimed them as part
of the personal property left to him
SELF A furious alteration ensued.
which ended in an appeal to the
courts. simultaneously with this
case comes another. which the
French tribunal is isemployed in argu-
ing with reference to deciding the
question ofproperty in parts of a
living body. This also originated
in the question of personal proper
ty in false teeth, and includes false
teeth and includes false hair and
other accessories of toilette which
are put in requisition nowadays for
the make up of fashionable man or
woman. .li9J 3dl figDod ismiGl Y

"THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING 4
THE CHEWING OF THE BAG"

1t is a fact well known TO rail
road finan ciers and operators, that
it is the coal or mineral roads of the
United States that are the paying
roads;but the masses of our people,
judging only by what they can see,
generally think otherwise, and have a
wonderful respect for the terme
'frunk lines, through lines,& DC" The
annual report of the Columbus d
Hooking Valley Railroad, for the
year 1872, shows conclusively the
truth of the first proposition.
This road, &c miles long, with a
coal branch II miles in length, was
only completed through in 1871,
and for the same year showed
net earnings $1S5.733, which earn
ings if applied to our Killbuck road
would pay about IL per cent upon
its entire cost. i- ~ i-
For the year lss2, the gross earnings
The expenditnres were ........ aIs,ss5 G. G.
Leaving as the net earnings were. s44s .esa IS
These earnings,would pay over 20
per cent, per annum upon the whole
cost of our proposed road.
There is another remarkable fact
shown by this report, while the av-
erage result as derived from over six
thousand miles of ordinary roads,
taking them just as they come, and
including all the roads in the State
of Ohio, shows that the net earn
ings are only about one-third of the
gross receipts, this road shows the
net profit to have been about 80 per
cent. of the gross receipts, as you
will perceive above.
The cause of these unusual facts
is found in this. that the road is al
most exclusively a coal road and
that it attends strictly to this
branch of business, counting all 9TH
er business merely incidental. The
coal tonnage was 604 ,SS1 tons, yield
ing from this source alone, 5000, ,395
60, leaving but 1854, ,496 IS as deriv-
ed from all other freights, passen-
gers, mails, DC.
There is another fact, in connec-
tion with the above results, of not
small interest to the friends of our
local road, to-wit: The whole of the
tabove six hundred thousand tons OF
local wert first hauled from Straits
vile and Nelsonville to Columbus, a
distance of GO miles, over grades 80
per cent, heavier than any found on
the whole length of our road. From
Columbus large per centage of ii
found a market over the c., g., c. &
l., Road to Cleveland, distance OF
l3S miles farther, making the whole
distance, from the mines, just 200
miles where it successfully compe-
ted in the market with other Goals
at $4.25 and $3.50 per ton. Now,
from the Holmes County coal mines
to Cleveland. by the way of Woos-
ter and Lagrange, is just SO miles,
Showing a difference in transporta
tion of lis miles, in our favor to the
]same market. These facts require
no argument from us to show their
bearing on our road Wooster Re
