Was somehow hitched to him.

A. xAY be learned from our local

As MAY be learned from our local
columns this morning the projectors OF
the wheeling and Elm Grove Railway
are rapidly putting their scheme into
tangible shape. A partial and prelim'
mary survey has been made, and We
learn that the cost OF the proposed road
is likely to fall considerably below tie
sum which the incorporators OF the com
psny are willing to pledge thsmss!asste
obtain for it's capital stock. 1t is safe
to assume that 100000 will not only
build but equip the road, Is far as the
Catholic Cemetery at least, and thereby
open to our OVERLOOKING population the
most charming portion Of the Wheel
ing creek valley as q site for residences
Certainly the gentlemen whose prop
er.y will be immensely increased in
value by the construction of the road
may be relied upon to subscribe the
greater portion OF this stock, and, in
view of the fact that II
will certsinly prove a profitable in
vestmeut for capitalists, we see no good
reason why the money for the con-
struction Of the railway should not b
forthcoming as rapidly as it may b
needed for the work.

The new constitution OF Ohio prohib
it's municipal corporations from Great
ing an indebtedness in aid of the con-
struction OF railroads or other internal
improvements. A proposition is to be
submitted to a separate vote, however
authorizing cities, towns, or counties
to make subscriptions to the capital
stock OF railroad and other COM
psnies, provided the subscription is ap-
proved by three-fourtbs of the voters
aud the debt TO be created does not ex-
coed ten per cent OF the assessed vslua-
ton Of the property liable to tax
Should this proposition be ratified, it
will take the place OF the clause in the
constitution above referred to. 1t would
seem that, under the restrictions it con-
tains. no great danger to municipal
credit could come from the adoption of
the alternate proposition.

IL. PETERS, OF 500 Broadway, New

lovers OF good music and, we hope, al
80, for himself, by his publication IN
cheap form OF the best music OF the
day. His "Muslcal Monthly, !
which costs but $500 per year, contains
in each number music which, at its
ordinary price In sheets, would cost
nearly as much as a whole years
subscription. And each number OF
LA Creme de Ia Creme" issued
by the same house, contains music tor
advanced players which wonld cost at
ordinary rates S2.l0. We are in re-
ceipt of both OF these publications and
give them this advertisement because
we believe we are thereby promoting
the interests ofthose of our readers who

produce internal hemorrhage, or will
kill its possessor in some other way.

Put the System IN Fighting Tune


The great object in cases Of indigestion
and its accompanying arrangements OF the
liver, bowels and nerves, is to put the stom-
.ch in condition 10 dissolve, readily and
without pain, the food submitted 10 Its &C
ton. This Is accomplished, and much
more than t is, by the daily use OF Hostel os
ken before every meal. The good effect
will soon be apparent. The loss Of flesh.
strength and energy which usually occurs
in dyspepsia will he arrested. The deter,
mination of bile to the skin will cease, and
that cathartic fluid will pass into the bow
ell and assist in keeping them free. Every
organ connected with or dependent upon
the stomach will be toned and renovated
TIE kidneys. the siiters OF the system, will
be beneficially Influenced, as well az the
liver, the allmentary canal aud The pores.
In short, the whole organization will be
put in the lighting trim necessary to resist
and expel disease. II the medicine Is taRe en-
regularly, and perslstently, this result Will
Inevitably follow.
