timore & Ohio Railroad to transport its
ireighttrsins between Chicago and
Mansfield, o, q distance of about $40
miles, over the Chicago Division Of the

way circles. 1t is generally believed
that, il tho negotiations now pending

meut. There is no longer any doubt that
the combination will last but few days
longer, and that competition will shortly
be AS lively as ever. The freight rates
prepared by the commissioners have not
yet gone into effect, but it is announced
that raise OF 8 cents per hundred pounds
on fourth class and flour will be made
after tue lst OF next month. Had there
been no opposition TO the agreement this
increase in freigh:s would have taken
place on the 18th inst, and the rates on
first, second and third classes would have
been nearly doubled.
The clsssiicstions prepared by the Com.
missionGrs also meet with much opposi-
ton, 1t being claimed that the arrange

vent the General Freight Agents from

are made will be attempted at a meeting

Managers will also hold q meeting on the

Since August, 1871.
MoUNDsvILLE, November 81, 1874.
Editors IntolligOncer:
Last evening the ladies OF the Mounds
vile auxiliary 10 the Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society gave very pleasant
entertainment, which comprised Scripture
readings, music and singing, select read
iugs, essays, and report OF the work OF
the Society since its foundation, In
August, 1871, which was read by Mrs.
Finn, and Is as follows:
REPORT.
The Moundsville Auxiliary to the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society Of
the N. E. Church, was organized o! the
Camp Ground, August 3lst, 1871, with a
membership Of fortY-1ve. The first year
Of our organization, we collected $Sl 90,
aud $25 90 being given to constitute Mrs.
DR.. Moore a lie member, the total
amount forwarded to the Treasurer OF the
Cincinnati branch was $5l 90. At this
time we held our meetings monthly, but
there being but little interest manifested
in them, they were finally discontinued,
Daring the second year, although We had
no stated meetings, we collected $39 90,
which was duly sent 10 the branch Treas.
ury. In April, 1873, a public meeting
was held and addresses were made by
MRS. L. A. HAdANs AND MISS LIZZIE BOYD,
both Of Wheeling. They made such stir.
ring appeals, that o missionary spirit was
again aroused, and,our monthly meetings
revived. During the third year, $40 90
was collected, Sl5 90 Of which was re-
ceived through the mite boxes. Regular
meetings were held throughout the year,
which became so interesting that 1t was
deemed advisable to hold them every
other Friday evening. A regular course
OF missionary reading was adopted, and
the social gatherings became not only vG.
ry pleasant but exceedingly instructive.
At one time during the year, there were
thirty.six subscribers 10 tho "Reathen

organization closed August 18th, 1874 un.
der the most favorable auspices. The first

EMIGRATION STATIsrICJ.-The stats.

emigrants was 3lO,Gl9. The greater part
ofthese people came 10 this country, while
the rest tried fortune chiefly in Australasia.

A Death-B Bed Interview by
Telegraph.

The overland telegraph in Austria
extends for 1000 miles across the waste
of the insular continent, and the line il
greatly expose to the attacks of the ma
tives, who use the wire to point their
spears with, and break the insulators in
order to secure the sharp edged frag-
ments, with which they scrape the
spear blades smooth. In order to guard
the line, therefore, each station is a
fort. On the evening of February %,
one of these stations was suddenly at
tackled, and in the melee Mr.. StapletOn,
the master, wss fatally wounded. The
station was 1000 miles from Adelaide
and the sufferer had to be treated for
his wounds by DIR. Gosse, of that place,
by means of consultation over the wire.
The case was hopeless, however, and
all that could be done to make the situ-
alton of Mr.. Stapleton somewhat easier
to bear was to allow him to exchange
a few parting words with his wife, who,
like the surgeon, was 1900 miles away
in Adelaide. This was done, and the
man and woman who had seen each
other for the last time on earth were
able, in a measure, to say to each other
those words of tenderness which cheer
the dying in their last moments, and
leave pleasant remembrance upon
the minds of the bereaved.

MIR. BEECHER'S RESPITE.
His Last Appearance at Plymouth
Church before his Summer
Vacation.

Mr.. Beecher preached in Plymouth
Church on Sunday morning for the last
time before his summer vacation of
three months. Before the sermon four
candidates were made members. Mr.
Beecher preached about the glory of
self-renunciation, his argument being
that the reward of heroic-self-sacrifice
is not entirely deferred until the future
life. The following were some of his
sentences:
1T is a secret the world ought to
know, that religion is not series of
sslfferings in payment for a Joy by and
by 'Heroism is cheap. 1t is
common in everyday life. 1t only

sliding lower ever since. He had no

THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The Coshocton Age is in favor of the
new Constitution and against license.
The Gallipolis Journal sums up the
changes made, but expresses no opinion.
The Portsmouth Times sums up the
changes, but omits the expression Of an
opinion.
The Fayette County Herald express
es the opinion that the Constitution
will be approved and adopted.
Taken as whole, the Ironton Jour-
nal considers 1t -" rthy of adoption" :"
The improvement u the judicial sys-
TEN is alone sufficient, says the Jour-
nal, to make its ratification very ,desi-
rable.
The Buckeye State (New Lisbon) is
inclined to believe good qualities pre-
dominate in the new Constitution, and
especially indOrses the provisions abol-
ishing the per diem of members of the
General Assembly, clothing the Gov
ernor with a qualified veto power,
limiting appropriations, admitting wo-
men to elective school offices, and most
especially the change in the Judidici-
airy.
The Lebanon Star, commenting on
the propositions relating to the liquor
traffic, observes that whichever clause
may be adopted the practical effect will
! be the same as if the Constitution were
wholly silent on the subject. Every
thing will depend on the character of
! the Legislature, which will, of course,
depend on the wishes and vigilance OF
the people" The Star neither favors
or opposes the Constitution as a whole.
The Holmes County Farmer, the ed
itor of which has been at pains to fig
ure On the matter, says the people of
/ Ohio will save three hundred thousand
dollars year by voting down the new
Constitution.
The Bryan Press SAYS it may be true
as alleged, that the new Constitution is
no hetter than the old, but this is ow-
ing to the fact that the old one was not
susceptible of much Improvement.
'Still," says the Press, $50 far as we
are able tojudge, the changes proposed
are for the better, and the labOrs of the
Convention merit the approval of the
people"
The Sidney Democrat commends the
provision that elections shall take place
but once in two years, and says if the
new Constitution shall be adoted this
arrangement will save $25 for each cleo
tion precinct, of which there are $500
in the State, making total saving of
$4,000. The Bellfontaine Republican
adds that the item of expense mention
ed by the Democrat is only drop in
the bucket, compared with the time
lost, in attending elections, and the ex-
penSe of campaigns.

ADVERTISING Rate,

Mr.. II. r. Haweis, the English cler-
gyman, in a recent sermon told an en-
Pertaining story of q well-dressed, un-
happy sort of gentleman who habitual-
ly calls upon young ministers to talk
about his religious difficulties. In
mournful tones he first inquiries wheth-
or heought to pray in spiritual diff
culties, and having that question an
swered satisfactorily he makes the
same inquiry as to temporal difficult
ties. 1t then appears that these last
are encompassing him in very pain
ful manner, and that, having prayed
persistently without effect, he Is on
the verge Of total skepticism. Young
minister, of course, rushes to the rescue
with pleasant sum, and the sad, sad
victim of temporal difficulties goes
gratefully weeping to the nearest other
young clergyman until his little in
come is acquired. Mr.. Haweis, after
this experience, once found the poor
man at the house of a brother in the
church, and affably urged him to go on
with his tale, but in vain, for he boun-
ced desperately to the door and was
seen no more.
