would be Of no material use. The road would
be obliged to depend 10 great measure, on
Coal for a support. and it would depend en-
tirelv on the 3 & o r. r., for coal. Its OBJ
iective point is not Washington but Alexandra,
which city is amply supplied with coal by the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and suppled
cheaper than could possibly be done by THIS
railroad. Ii must necessarily be local road
aud as such so soon as it began leaving the b.
& O. R.R.. 1t would impose on those over
whom it obtained control, thus being produc-
tive of the very evil of which we complain so
loudly. Our great need, at present, Is better
system of county roads. As to emigrants,
when solicited to come here, their first question
would be: what is your local capital and are
YOU in debt Heavy taxation Is the surest
meaus of opposing emigration.
Mr. Kennedy said:
That this was one Of the few really practical
questions that had been before tie Society. If
the Society is Of any use at all 1t Is to throw
light on such subject AS his, ard it the'So-
ciety exerted any influence on the votcrs'oi this
County il ought to be exercised with care; did
not vote for the subscription t. the ShcuanGo-
ali Valley road-cuul3 not see that that road
would give a competing market. We can sell
in Georgetown every grain of wheat that this
whole valley vii or can produce; the question
is: how can we set it there cheapest? add the
answer can be no other than to build The ".
& O. Railroad.
With one OF two exceptions there is not
farm in jefferson County that pays over two
per cent-and one reason is: il costs so much
to send produce TO market, aud the only way
to reduce freight 90 railroads is by bringing
in competition. and for this reason thought 1t
advisable to subscribe to the w. Il o. K. X.
Thought the question ought to be further
discussed moved to refer it to some future

POETICAL
TIE BOYS.

TIE BOYS.
There come the boys! o dear. the noise,
The whole house feels the racket;
Behold the knee Of Harry's pants,
Aud weep o'er Bertie's Jacket
But never mind, l. eyes keep bright,
And limbs grow straight aud limbsr;
We'd rather lose the trees whole bark
Than find unsound the timber!
Now hear the tops and marbles roll
The foors-0 woe betide them
And must watch the banisters,
For know boys who ride them!
Look well as you descend the stairs,
often lind them haunted
BY ghostly TOYS that make no noise
Just when their noise is wanted.
The very chairs are tied in pairs,
And made to prance and caper;
What swords are whitfield out Of sticksl
What brave hats made OF paper!
Then dinner-bell peals loud and well,
To tell the milkman's coming;
And then the rush of "steam-car trains "
Sets all our ears humming.
How oft say, What shall do
To keep these children quiet?'
If could find a good receipt,
certainly should try il.
But what to do with these wild boys,
And all their din and clatter,
Is really quite grave affair
No laughing, trifing matter.
"Boys will DO boys but not for long;
All could we bear about Us
This thought-hew very soon our boys
Will learn to do without Us
How soon but tall and deep-Voiced men
Will gravely call US Mother
Or we be stretching empty hands
From this world to the other
More gently we should chide the noise,
And when night quels the racket,
Stitch in but loving thoughts and prayers
While mending pants and jacket !

What is Expected Of American Boys.

American boys are expected to become
manly men The mother OF every boy is ex-
pected to teach him to be obolient to parental
authority, to the civil law; and to acquire an
education, business, trade, or an art, some
thing for which he may be best adapted, aud by
which he may obtain au honest living. This
is a privilege, nay more-it is duty a du;y
to self, to family, to friends, to the state, aud
to the nation When this is done, society has
a guaranty for the good conduct and useful
ness Of each Of her sons When it is neglected
and boys grow up in ignorance and idleuoss
society is taxed for their support, either in her
rcformatories, her ials, hospitals, or asylams
How much cheaper it would be to have every
boy properly educated, trained, and d.sciplin-
ed 50 that he would be a blessing instead Of a
curse to tho world. lie is sure to become QUO
or the other From Science Of Healh.

ed the Congressional Gio5e in relation to tho
matter and find that the yeas aud nays are not
recorded upon the passage Of the bill By sho

putting them openly on the record, and We

A BUcKING CAYUsE.-Yesterday, about
noon. cayuse on lower Nam street
gave an exhibition of his bucking pow
ers in all their varieties-jumped up as
nimbly as if he hadn't bone in his legs
and came down as if they were all bone,
sprang to one side and then the other,
and then tried, by making half-moon
OF himself, to jump both ways at once.
He was encouraged to commence the per-
Torrance by rope getting slipped I'M
der his tail, and continued it from pure
broncho deyiltry-the worst kind of dia-
bolism it is, too. The last act in the
programme was to kick his owner hard
enough on the shin for standing re-
membrance that horses were not made
to be bridled at the wrong end.
SCHOOL MEETING.-It will be remem-
bered that a SHOOT meeting is to take
place this evening at the schoolhouse, at

present, as well as all who expect to be-
come such.

sale of the property. The liability is
trifiing in amount, and the property is
! said to be valuable.

orally. He opposed Judge Fuller's res
olution. He was not in favor of giving
a grasping monopoly 100000 with
out consideration. That was carrying
the subsidy question further than he
could 60. The first meeting-held
week or so ago-embraced majority of
our heaviest property-owners. They
favor issuing bonds for $350,000 That
action was signalized by an overwhelmn-
ing vote, and it should be final. Like
Judge Bishop, he thought Judge Fuller
misinterpreted the bill by which it was
proposed to carry into law that strongly
expressed wish Of the people. He gave
the cost and inconvenience of bringing
in supplies by mules and oxen, and
demonstrated by the figures the great
advantage of railroad communication.
Said railroad never has been and never
can be built by private enterprise We
must give it substantial aid. To offset
subsidies he showed what subsidies had
done for Santa Clara county, in that
State. By generously subscribing for
stock she has secured five first-class and
paying roads.
Judge Pitzer thought it would be q
good thing for the stage men to vote
down the proposed subsidy. No one
else would be benefited by doing so.
Compared the state of affairs before the
construction of the trans-continental road
with the present state of affairs With
out an enormous governmental subsidy
it would never have been built Without
subsidy Lincoln county never can Sc
cure road. The Judge then spoke very
forcibly, spiced with little merriment,
which was highly appreciated by the au-
dience, of the advantages Of railroad
communication, and the disadvantages
of not having it.
Here Mr.. Holland demanded that his
| motion be read, that none but taxpayers
be allowed to vote. The house showed q
! disposition not to allow it to be put,
when Judge Bishop, Mr.. Holland and
others withdrew from the meeting.
Judge Fuller arose, again, but added
nothing to his former argument. He
read the copy of the law, and explained
that while its terms gave the company
three years. at least, in which to buili
the road, it really gave them $3.50, 900
The bill will come up for final action to-
morrow, and he wanted the people tc
vote understandingly.
The resolution was again read--tht
