LIMA, O., March ga rumor has gained some
currency that the route OF the L. E. d L. Road
ia to shortly pass Into the hands Of tho Lake
Shore Company. What gives this report ahad-
ON Of truth is the recent selling out of tho
Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati C indianapolis

est. It Ia said that the Lake Shore folks will
talo tho L. z. d L. Road and make of it Bt.
Louis l. Louisville connection, via Fremont or
sandusky; St. Louin route via st. Mary's, O.,
west to the Indiana State line, thence to Graw-
fordsyille, Ind, and over the Vandalia route to
st. Louis; a Louisyille route in almost m air
line Viz Lima, Union City, to Cambridge City,
Ind. Tho Bt. Louis route would run almost par
allsl with tho Toledo L Wabash Road, and be an
easy short line, developing a new and wealthy
scope Of country.

Happening in the office Of Major Felix
A. Butcher, that old experienced sur
ysyor and engineer, we saw n beautiful
typographical map Of large portion of
San Patriotic and Of Arkansas coanties
showing a newly enclosed pasture ground.
We found this to be the property Of those
most energetic and entsrprising citizens
of Rockport, Messrs Coleman, Mathis 4
Fulton, and embraces III 600 acres of
land, and bounded on the south by Nueoes
and Corpus Christi bays, or the east by
about fifteen miles Of fence, extending
from the latter bay from . point east OF
Corpus Christi reef crossing to Puerto
bay, and this latter to The mouth Of Arkan-
and Chiltipin cracks, and on the west
having fence of eleven miles, extending
from the Chiltipin creek to Nueces bay.
This vast domain is made by the said
firm by virtue Of Texas Land Certificates,
and Of lands patented by the State and by
said firm purchased from the original
grantees. The cost Of Land Certificates
and land has not been less than 100000
gold, the fence net less than SIS, 900, Thor.
oughly informed stoGknen inform us that
At least 25000 head OF stock can DO pas
tured and fattened within those bounds.
and that the profits arising from such bu-
sinsss will be commensurate with the in
v.stments made. Aside, however from
profits to the originators, we consider this
enterprise Of uncomfortable benefits to our
whole section of country. 1t will practi-
cally illustrate the necessity and advan-
tage Of stock being represented by Ian,
grass and water, possessed by or under the
law full control Of the owners Of the stock,
The benefits resulting from fencing WI
be understood and appreciated. The example
heretofore set by Captain Mhlin Kennedy,
and now carried cut BY Captain Richard
King, and by said Coleman, Mathis &
Fulton, will DO followed by every honest
and sensible stoekman; fencing will be.
csms the order Of the day; lands will cease
to DO almost worthless, as at present; stock
will be secure and safe from the depreda-
items Of Me1iosns and robbers generally,
and the increase and sales will yield treble
what is now produced, while "skinning"
and "peeling' will cease to be . dsturbng
