MARYsvILLE, O., June 10, 1875

MAnIoNALLh, VI, y uUe ~, 1910
This town has evidently taken new
lease on life. Eleven macadamized
turnpikes diverging from its corporate
limits, the introduction OF manutacto-
ries, and the new buildings erected, in
dicate this unmistakabe prosperity.
Two hundred miles of turnpike roads
made in the last three years have opened
Union county for business, thrift and
enterprise.
Thirty years ago the writer, travelling
on horseback between the Scioto river
and Marysville, when the swafnps were
full Of water and the mud SO deep that
slow travelling was necessity, wearied
and cheerless he inquired at the door Of
a cabin on the roadside how far II was
to Marysville. The hardy pioneer came
to the door and replied: "Well, stranger,
that depends on the depth Of the mud.
At present, when the mud is only foot
deep, II is eight miles; but a month ago,
when the mud was two feet deep, it was
good sixteen mile 8, close reckoning

Its design was to instruct his youthful
audience In the principles and practice

RAILROAD AFFAIRS.
uLosING DAYS OF THE EASTERN TRUNK
LINE STRUGGLE.


LINE STRUGGLE.
WASHINGTON, June 2L-Inquiry at the
offices of the Pennsylvania and Balti-
more and Ohio railroads in this city,
shows that the agreement between these
Ewo roads has not yet become operative,
rs the tares have not been increased.
There is an impression that the new ar
rangement will go into effect to-day, but
nothing is definitely known as regards
freight charges.
There will doubtless be some difficulty
In adopting the new rates at once, as
many contracts have been made extend
Ing into the months of July and August.
In respect to passenger rates, while
the fare can be advanced at any day,
Mr.. Garrett has 80 many low-iare tickets
his lines, at least, a good deal of travel
for the immediate future must be at low
rates.
The Pennsylvania road sold tickets
good for five days, but is doubtful, under
recent rulings OF the Court, whether q
railroad company can legally make re-
striction Of this kind. 1t is held that the
purchaser Of a ticket purchases the right
TO ride over the road named at any time.
1t is not probable that many of the Penn
sylvania roads tickets are out as COM
pared with the number af0at of the b. &
o. road.

posed to have been placed there Tor the
purpose of killing the men. Al old man

Is now in Jail. The evidence against
him is very strong, and it is lucky for
him that he was not In reach of the W ork-

FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
THE COTTON PRospECrs.

WAsHINGToN,D.C c., June 21.-Informa-
tion received here from the cotton-belt
country, says that owing to tie, cold
weather during the past three weeks
the cotton crop Is In a very backward
state. The plant which should at this
date be fully foot high is only half that,
and 1t is feared that the crop may be per-
manently injured in many sections. AS
compared with the average of 1874, which
was about s, 1858 633 acres, growing esti-
mates of the average of 1876 are interest
ing. Virginia per cent. increase; Lou
isiana A per cent. increase; Mississippi
averages about the same as last year;
Alabama averages ~ per cent. increase; |;
Florida 2 per cent. increase; Georgia no
change; South Carolina one.half per cent.
decrease; North Carolina per cent. in
crease; Tennessee II per cent. decrease; |;
Arkansas 2 per cent. increase. All the
other cotton returns present about an
average acreage.
Agriculture, and which will probably be
issued during the latter part of this
month or the frst Of July, may probably
alter the above estimate somewhat, and
il the present warm weather continues
in the cotton region there will undoubt-
edly be better report Of the condition
Of the crop.
OUR EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.
During the first ten months of the
present fiscal year in Government af-
fairs, OF up to the first day of May, the
exports or breadstuffs had fallen off
$31 900, 900. and of cotton $4,000, 900, as
compared with the same period last
year. The total exports of the first ten
months of this year amounted in value
to $b22, ,0OO,O 900, and $40,500,000 less than
In the corresponding time last year; and
riod were $460, 900, or $35, 100000 less
