ELSEWHERE we publish pretty fuli
proceedings of the meetings recently
held in behalf of the Narrow Gauge
project. We do this upon the sup
positiou that our readers desire TO
know what is said and what is being
done in regard thereto. AS we said q
few weeks ago, time alone must de
tsrmine what is to be the outgrowth
Of this movement In one feature it
Is important to us. 1t shows an
earnest desire on thepart of the peo-
ple of the interior towns of the State
to reach this rich iron and coal Sec
ton, and in doing so to come to the
Ohio river. Herein is evidence that
we possess those elements of pros
perity and wealth which the world
needs, and which must eventually,
and that not far removed, be made
available by and through railroad en-
terprises. But don't let us, at this
end of the line, waste our energies on
two and antagonistic routes. We are
too poor in money to succeed under
such circumstances. If we are to
have road it must be by united eff
fort. All these enterprises of the
people of the interior of the State are
favorable evidences to the railroad
development of this section, but to
make them available to this particu-
lar locality there must be union OF
sentiment and effort To that end,
and that alone, we give prominence
to this new movement. Practical
thoughts and plans come from full
and thorough discussion, and that
should be the sole aim to be arrived
at in this matter. We need rail
road-this is admitted by every one
and as the tendency of the public
mind is in this direction, it seems to
US that our hopes may be realized if
wise and harmonious council can be
reached at home. Let that be our ef-
fort.

What Was 1t?

You ask in late JOURNAL, "What
made that terrific explosion" Ru-
NOR run rife that it was different
saw-mills, an earthquake, Gallia Fur
mace, &C., with loss of several lives.
Truth does not substantiate either.
l venture to say the place aohere it
occurred will never be pointed out.
My own opinion is, it was meteor.
Some body foreign to our earth that
came within reach of gravitation, and
as it neared the earth, the air being
more dense and its velocity accele-
rated, bursted and made the report
which was heard.
Similar reports have been heard
before. In the year lS4S, about the
same time in the year, one was seen
in the Northwest. 1t appeared like a
shooting star, and was Immediately
followed by report almost exactly
similar to the one of few days ago.

The Message.

Gov. ALIENS message is a plain,
business document, free from stump
oratory, ''more money" discussion, or
glorification over democratic victo-
ries. tits wholly devoid Of politi-
cal topics. The press of the State
speaks well of it.
He gives an interesting summary
of the present financial condition of
the State. During the year $780,
856.S0 has been paid, leaving out
standing on the 18th of November,
1874, the moderate sum of $685.
205.3O. The local Indebtedness of
the State aggregates $21, 1,886,00 7.36.
Some of our western cities owe near
ly as much as all the cities and towns
in Ohio.
The Governor believes the penal,
reformatory and benevolent institu-
ticns of the State are working we'll.
The Penitentiary has netted the
State profit of $7,412.02.
The State has collected from the
General Government $35, 5,7S19S of
war claims. A balance remains un-
collected of $275,9SS.S4.
There are now forty one military
companies in the State, against
thirty-two in 1878.
Two hundred and forty-fve miles
of new railroad track have been laid
the past year. In this connection the
Governor says:
Railroads are not only of great
utility, but have become a necessity
to the country. They should not be
hampered by vindictive and vexa-
tious legislation; but, as the servants
of the people, enjoying peculiar fran
chises, they should be held strictly
amenable to judicious legislation that
will prevent them from becoming the
masters of the people, their rights
should be fully protected by law, and
the rights of the people should be
protected against such encroach-
ments as tend to make them the vic
Tins of monopoly.
The Governor thinks the Legisla-
ture performed an act of justice and
mercy for the men who delve in our
mines, by enacting the law ITO regu-
late mines and mining" This leg
islation, he says, should be followed
up by such further legislation as
may be found necessary.
He calls attention to the compen-
sation of county officers, and thinks
their pay disproportionate to the sala-
ries of other public officers, and of
persons in private life.

This body assembled in adjourned
session Tuesday week. The attend
ance was good.
The Governors Message was sent
in and read. 1t is purely brief,
pracfical statement of State matters.
1t was well received.
Mr.. Stone has introduced bill to
make the entry of granaries, corn
cribs or poultry houses in the night
season burglary.
The House has adopted resolu-
tion for the appointment of Joint
Committee to prepare Amendments
to the Constitution.
Sundry bills have been introduced
to amend the Adair liquor law. One
is to require ten days notice to be
given to saloon-keepers before they
shall become responsible, and requir-
ing suits at law against them to be
made separately. Another is in eff
feet to remove all restrictions upon
the sale, except to minors and drunk
ards, and making it unlawful to get
drunk. Still another is in this
shape:
Houses in which the traffic is carried
on are to be graded into five classes, and
so registered in the County Treasurer s
Office, and pay fee ranging from two
hundred dollars. for places where all
liquors are sold, down to ten dollars, for
the class where only light malt liquors
OH draught and soda water mixed with
liquors and cordials or either are sold.
THE sums charged in villages for regis
tration shall be one-half that charged in
cities. and in all other places the fee
shall be the same as in cities.
Sales to minors and persons of intem-
perate habits are prohibited, and right
of action for damages for violation of
any provision of the bill given to per-
sons injured.
In case of conviction for violation of
the provisions of this act registration
must be cancelled, and the right of the
party convicted to sell liquors annulled.
