THE OUTLOOK.

Now very important matter for the
future benefit of our town and county
needs the immediate attention of our
citizens. Capt. Greiner lately wrote a
letter to the city authorities of the city
of Columbus, representing to them that
a direct communication with our vast
mineral regions, southeast of our town
on the surveyed route of Somerset and
Roseville Railroad, would give them a
cheap and controlling interest In. mex
haustable beds of iron and coal, and
also by easy grades, reach the great
salt wells near McConnelsville. The coal
and iron commencing in large quanti-
ties about four miles from our town.
We think that it is only necessary for
the citizens of Columbus to have a corr
rect understanding of this matter, to in
sure their speedy, cordial and efficient
effort to secure at once this great boon
to their city.
I propose that we send to Columbus
Immediately, Capt. Greiner and P. H.
Buckley, Esq, the President and En-
gineer of the Somerset and Roseville
Railroad, with instructions to have per-
sonal interviews with the city authori-
ties, and represent to them the truth OF
the great value of the mineral resources
on the route named, with which they are
| familiar, and to request that they will
send committee to examine and re.
port to them.
Come, friends, wake upl Let us have 9
town meeting, or a corporation meeting
| which is better-and have this matter
attended to at once. There can be nc
question of its great importance to oul
town and county, and it ought not to bt
delayed. w. P. ID.

We notice by Columbus dispatch
to the Commercial that a meeting rs to
be held in Columbus on Tuesday next,
for the organization of Company for
the construction of railroad from that
city, by way of the coal fields, to Nc
Connelsville. As this is matter in
which our people are greatly interested
they should at once make arrangements
to send delegation to Columbus to
confer with the parties who have called
the meeting mentioned. The Columbus
men doubtless mean business in this
move, and it is of the highest impor-
tance to US that we secure the location
of their line on the route adopted by
the r. r. organization of this place.

Our whilom townsman, Hon. Thos. B.
Cox, came over from Lancaster few
days ago to visit his relatives and num-
erous friends in this vicinity. 7. B. did
some good service in the cause of Som
erset during his long residence in the
village, and for which her citizens hold
him in grateful remembrance; and it is
but natural that he should still feel an
interest in her welfare. He enjoys a vis-
il to these familiar scenes, and as in
days of yore he delighted, when freed
for few hours from the cares of busi-
ness, to shoulder his gun and go forth
upon the hills and into the valleys in
search of the nimble squirrel, SO, on the
occasion of his recent visit, he determin-
ed upon scout of this nature ere he de-
parted hence for the shades of Lancas-
ter. Calling upon the accommodating
Grimm, he procured from him a double
barrel breech loading shot gun. Thus
armed, he roamed the woods in search of
game. AS he discharged the gun, he
threw away the metallic shell which re-
mains in the breech, and towards the
close of his labors he had thus disposed
of all the cartridges which AL had given
him. OF course, when he returned the
gun Al asked about the cartridges. "Why,
1 threw them away" says Thomas.
"The Helen Blazes you did" says
Grimm. "I didn't think they were of
any further account. When a fellow
fires off revolver he pulls the brass
arrangement out ard throws it away,
you know" says T. B, "Yes, know"
says Al. "but these cartridges cost $500
a dozen" How they compromised the
matter, we have not learned, but pre-
sumo that t. B. did the fair thing.
