Vulgar Conversation.

A correspondent at East Monroe,
this county, signing himself "Quiet
Observer" writes as follows:
EDITOR NEws:-I feel very much
tempted to write a piece on the
morality of young men, sometimes
when crowd of them get together,
telling their blackguard tales and
other indecent conversation. Last
winter cards and dominoes took the
lead here, but this winter it is dances,
filthy talk, 'bites," blackguard tales,
and meanness generally"
We fear that a similar complaint
might be truthfully made against
many other places besides East Mon
roe. The practice is very common
one, and deserves the severest cen
sure. Young men (or old ones) who
indulge in vulgar conversation.
should remember Pope's famous
couplet:
'Immodest words admit but this defense

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Springfield & Pomeroy N. C.
Railroad,

At the meeting of the stockholders
held in Greenfield week before last,
James Emmitt, of Waverly, was cho-
sen President of the Board of Direc-
tors, and W. W. Bell, of Greenfield,
was chosen q Director. The pros
poets of this enterprise seemed quite
encouraging up to about a week ago,
when its directors met those of the
rival line, the Dayton & Southeastern,
at Dayton, and propositions were
made for compromise, on the basis
of uniting the two lines at Washing
ton c. Fl. and building only single
line thence to jackson county, which
will probably be via Chillicothe, as
the grades are reported much more
favorable by that route. In order to
secure Chillicothe's aid, the amount
of stock required from Ross county
has been reduced to $150,000, which
it is thought can be raised.
Mr.. Emmitt is reported to have
agreed to the proposed compromise.
If this be true, Greenfield, Bainbridge
and Waverly will be cleft out in the
cold, and the people of those towns
are considerably disheartened at the
prospect. A few weeks will probably
decide the matter.

reading as heretofore your very ex
cellent paper, the 'old reliable News
1 wish to change the direction of my
paper from this place to Cross P. O

Times here are exceedingly bard
and the people generally very desti
tnte. How many of the people in this
part of N. W. Missouri can gel
through until another crop can be
raised, is problem that can scarce
ly solve at present, and should there
be failure of crops this season, as
has been the case for the past three
seasons, this country must be aban-
doned and turned out as desert.
At any rate, my experience here
proves conclusively that this country
as an agricultural country, is not a
success, and as grazing country it is
but little better. There are but two
seasons-a hot, rainless summer, and
long, dreary, blustry, cold winter.
We have now had near three months

yet.

their respective Plenipotentiaries at Sar

Michigan & Ohio Railroad.

~ ~IttS atfI ~ q Ms
The latest advices in regard to this
enterprise are very encouraging. Sci
oto county has subscribed $4,000,
which is 100000 more than her quota
at $4,000 per mile. Chillicothe has
very sensibly resolved to stick to the
enterprise, as offering her the surest
prospect for the long.desired railroad
through the rich Scioto valley, and
Pickaway and Pike counties will no
doubt soon fall into line. The recent
effort of some Columbus capitalists
to create division among the people
of the valley by Offering to build a
road to Portsmouth on better terms
than those offered by the Michigan &
Ohio, seems to be viewed with suspi-
cion and meets with little encourage
ment.
In the meantime, President Gibbs,
of the Michigan & Ohio, is not at all
disturbed by this rival project, and is
preparing to commence work in the
Scioto valley Just as soon as the con-
dition of the ground will permit. He
writes to the editor of the Ports
mouth Tribune as follows, under date
of
"BUFFALo, March 6, 1875.
81 have to return to New York on
Monday to complete some business
for my company, and Immediately af-
ter l get through shall go to the Sci
oto valley, to confer further with the
people.
81 hope the whole amount we ask
of the people will speedily be raised
in the other counties, so that we can
commence operations as soon as the
frost leaves the ground"
And to Mr.. D. F. Connell of Ports
mouth he writes, on the same day:
"All the affairs of my company are
in excellent condition. Your people
have responded nobly to our PROPOSE
ton, and I believe that the other
counties will soon make up their quo
tas, and with assurances like these we
intend that YOUR PEOPLE SHALL RIDE
OVER THE ROAD TO COLUMBUS LONG BE-
FORE THE CLOSE OF THE PRESENT YEAR "
That certainly sounds like business
and we hope MIR. Gibbs expectations
may be realized to the full extent, as
for reasons heretofore given, we be-
lieve the interests of Hillsboro and
Highland county may be affected in
most important manner by the sue
cess of the M. & o. road.
