Mr.. Hubbard next proceeded to con-
slider what the road when completed
can do. He said that the B. d o. road
sends away every day from 40 to 80 ca
loads of Wheeling products, TO say
nothing Of the number OF car loads OF
freight brought to this city for sale
or consumption. 1t costs the e. d 7.
road between $4,000 and $4,000 au-
nually TO transfer the freight
alone from Wheeling to Bridge
port and from Bridgeport to Wheeling,
leaving the passenger travel by both
roads wholly ont OF view.
1t is fair to presume that this road
will get proportiona,e share OF this
freight and travel, together with any lur
crease of freight and travel there may
be hereafter in the increased production
and population OF the city aud county,
especiany as our citizens, beng the
owners OF this line, would be directly
interested in throwing upon It al the
busine So they could command. AS 81
eyiJe zee OF what this increased trade

ing the Riverside Furnace;

Riverside Furnace February y, Io'2,
and up TO March 81, 1874, the trans

755 car loads Of mill clnder.
340S car loads q, pig iron and sun

In all 1859 car loads OF materials
necessary to make and deliver the
product of the furnace in two vears.
The freight on the above cars amounted

ton various advantages to result from

the opening OF additional manufacture
iug sites on this side OF the river, having
g better river frontage than the opposite
side; the development OF the compsrs-
tiyely untouched beds OF coal lying

The N Letting at the Court House Last
Night.

Pursuant TO previous announcement,
q number OF citizens assembled at the
Court House last evening to hear the
prospects OF the Pittsburgh, Wheeling
AMI Kentucky railroad set forth, and to
learn why s3O0,O0O, in addition to the
amount already subscribed, should be
voted in aid of the proposed road.
Probably 200 people were present at
various times during the evening, the
heat of the weather keeping many
away aud inducing some to leave DUR
ing the progress Of the meeting, while
others came in TO supply their places.
About half-past eight the meeting
was called TO order and, on motion,
Hon. Alex. NJ. Jacob was chosen
chairman. Before taking his seat he
stated the object for which the meeting
was called and expressed some sympa-
thy with the cause.
Hon. c. D. Hubbard, President OF
tbe railroad company, was the first
speaker. He stated that he, as a req
resentative OF the company, felt great
reluctance, in view Of the disappoint-
ment felt by the people IN relation
to the lroad to ask them to
make a further appropriation in lis
aid, and it was only after all hope
from any othec quarter had failed that
this course was resolved upon. He
then recited the account Of his 'rultless
efforts to induce capitalists or compan-
les in the eastern cities to take hold OF
and complete the road, the substance
OF whica report has already been pub
lished.
He then presented the following esti-
mate OF the cost OF completing the road:

A Golden Dream,

1t is limited in army circles in Eng.
land that the expedition to be sent out
to Ashantee will in all probability re.
turn laden with "loot with treasures
of gold plundcred from the unlucky
savages who have called down upon
their devoted heads the wrath of the
British lion. All the information the
English have about these rumored
treasures seems to be gathered from the
report of an agent sent to Coomassie in
1877 as an envoy. who gave glowing
reports of bracelets so heavy that the
laden arms of the chiefs had to be sup.
ported by attendant pages ; of gold and
silver canes in every direction; OF
chairs inlaid with ivory and gold OF
death-dealing muskets adorned with
rims of gold; of full dress costumes
and breast-plates of solid gold, &c.
The golden accounts of the agent are
now eagerly accepted by the English
soldiers and sailors who are engaged in
the Ashantee expedition. Thus the
trinkets of the barbarians are coveted
by those who pretend to be civilized,
and who thus show that they have the
same gross instincts of the savages.

A New Mode Of Robbery.

The Paris Figaro gives the following
details OF an extraordinary robbery OF
jewelry ga Persian commission mer-
chant, NJ. COIN, had purchased a
quantity of jewelry for London houses
to the value of 1000. On the evening
of his departure for London he dined
with number of his clerks, who &C.
companied him to the station, where
he got into an empty compartment OF
the train which was to take him to
Calais. Some minutes later four per-
sons entered the carriage, and although
he would have preferred to be alone,
finding there was no time to change, he
engaged in conversation with them, at
the same time keeping his hand on the
travelling bag which contained his valu-
ables. On arriving at Calais the stran.
gers disappeared. NJ. COIN proceeded
on board the boat. He was immedi-
ately joined by person whom he
recognized as one of Lis fellow-trav-
elers in the train, and who, after a
short discussion on the evils of sea-
sickness. offered him cigar, which no
refused. His interlocutor, however,
was very pressing, and rendered a case
of what he called real Havanas, which
M. Coin believes now, although he did
not specially notice at the time, was
not the same as the stranger himself
had. In the end NJ. COIN took a cigar
and lighted and commenced smoking
it, when he at once became insensible.
On recovering he fonnd that he was at
Dover, and that his travelling bag and
acquaintance had disap-
peared. Three trains were about to
start. A search was made for both bag
and stranger, and the telegraph was
put into play, but without success.

Premiums for Church Pews.

The auction in Henry Ward Beecher's
church was for choices. The pews all
have fixed prices, the highest being
$120. The sum bid must be added to
the fixed price of the particular pew
selected in order to find the cost. The
bidding was very spirited, 1926 being
the first bid for first choice. 1t was
speedily increased to $500, and the
choice was bid by Mr.. s. A. Ovington.
He will have to pay $500 this year for
the privilege of sitting in pew No. 81.
Henry G. Bowen secured the next
choice, No. SO, for 1886. A. M. Shep-
pard paid $500 Mcdonald and Hatch,

sold. The sum realized was $59, 43O,
afisinst S59, 301 last year, an increase of

be frank with the world; frankness Il
the child OF honesty and courage. Say
what you mean to do on every occasion
and take It for granted you mean to dc
right. II Q friend asks o favor, you
should grant il il II 10 reasonable; II
not. tell him plainly why you cannot
you will wrong him and you will wrong
yourself by equivocation OF any kind.
Never do wrong thing to make friend
or to keep one the man who requires
you to do 80 is dearly purchased at a
sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly with
Your classmates /; You will find II the
policy that wears best. Above all, do
not appear to others what you are not.
II you have any fault to And with any
one, tell him, not others, of what You
complain there is no more dangerous
experiment than that OF undertaking to
be one thing before mans face and
another behind his back. We should
live, act, and say nothing to the injury
of any one. 1t is not only best as a
matter Of principle, but it is the path
to peace and honor. In regard to duty
let me, in conclusion of this hasty let.
ter, inform you that nearly one hundred
years ago there was day of remarkable
gle ON and darkness, still known as the
"dark day." day when the light of
the sun was slowly extinguiehed as il
by an eclipse. The Legislature of Con.
necticut was in session, and its mem.
bers saw the unexpected and unaccount.
able darkness coming on, they shared
in the general awe and terror. It was
supposed by many that tho last day
the day of judgment-had come. Some
one, in the CONSERVATION of the hour,
moved an adjournment. Then there
arose an old Puritan legislator, Daven.
port Stanford, who said that il the last
day had come he desired to be found at
his place doing his duty, and therefore
moved that candles be brought so that
the House could proceed with its duty.
There was quietness in that mans's
mind-the quietness OF heavenly wis
DOMAIN inhexible willingness to obey
present duty. Duty, then, is the sub
limest word in our language. Do your
duty in all things like the old Puritan.
You cannot do more ; you should never
wish to do less. Never let me and your
mother wear one gray hair for any lack
Of duty on your part.
Your affectionare father. r. E. L.
