A MELANCHOLY PICTURE.-It was,
indeed, melancholy picture that was
presented to the view of the passengers
of Mississippi steamer that took short
cut across some Louisiana plantations on
the way down to New Orleans. The
food had swept over what few days
before had been cotton field, leaving
only the tops of trees above the water,
near which could be seen the chimney OF
a house rising foot above the surface.
On the top of the smokeless fue was
perched a rooster. His wings hung
limp, his eyes we're half closed, and his
majesty of dem eanor was gone. He had
given it up. Whether he was the sole
survivor he did not explain. He did
not seem to care to be rescued, as he
hoisted no signal for relief, and the
steamer, with parting cheer, left him
alone in his glory. As the sound reach
ed him he raised his off wing to his eye,
and waved sad farewell with his disen-
gagged foot.-Louisville Courier Journal.

The Railroad fever is breaking out
again in various parts of this county.
The citizens of Flushing and vicinity
feel more keenly, probably, than oth-
ers who are favored with nearer rail-
road approaches, the want of an outlet.
and many of them aver that a road will
and shall be built through their coun-
try, let the ternini be where it will.
With an intense feeling of this kind in
their community they can raise large
amount of funds to assist in building
the proposed line of road; they are apt
too, to think that their brethren, say of
this (Richland) township, who have
comparatively easy access to some of
the great trunk lines, are not willing to
bear a proportionate share Of expense,
&c carry out the enterprise. We are
not tconversant with the history of FORM
er railroad enterprises in this county,
and therefore cannot say as to the rela-
tive amount of genuine greelabdck en-
thusiasm displayed by the different To-
calities. There is certainly every in
ducement for this township to strain
erery nerue to build Railroad of some
kind touching near st. Clairsville.
About the only desirable unoccupied
route for Railroad through this part
ofthe State Is a diagonal one across thi:
county: sooner or later it will be con
structed. Shall it leave US out in the
cold?
