REVEREND SlR-From the terms OF
the letter missive, had not supposed
that your reverend body was competent
TO consider or determine the question of
the guilt or innocence of Henry Ward
Beecher. The proceedings ofthe council
show, however, that may possibly be
mistaken in the construction of the char
acter of your authority, since Mr..
Beecher was allowed TO introduce his
own protestations OF innocence and some
corroborative declarations by his friends.
Mr.. Beecher invoked the Deity and chsl-
lenged mankind to deny or disprove his
innocence, which declaration the council
accepted with applause. / send this COM
munication 10 the council simply 10 say

Ward Beecher is guilty of adultery

The CINCINNATI, Ohio River & Vir-
Vinia RaiIrOad.

At meeting Of several gentlemen In.
terested in the proposed narrow-gauge
railroad along the Ohio River to New
Richmond, held at the office of Post &
Co. yesterday afternoon, maps were ex-
hibited showing that by the proposed
route New Richmond will be brought
within nineteen miles of the city, while,
if the proposition OF the Cincinnati &
Eastern Railroad Company to the citi-
zens of that place, to build them road
to connect with its main line at a point
near Plainville Tor 100000, shall be ac-
ecepted, they will be nearly if not quite
twenty-four miles away.
| 1t was tacitly agreed that the line
should be called the Cincinnati, Ohio
River & Virginia Railroad, and that
the proposition to be made to the people
of New Richmond should be that the
road run from New Richmond to q point
known as Lick Run, about mile west
Of the town OF California, whence it Will
enter the city over the track OF the pro-
posed Cincinnati & Portsmouth Narrow
gauge, by the way of East Walnut Hills
and Eggleston avenue, TO the Little
Miami Railroad depot. 1t was estim-
| ated that the twelve and halt miles OF
road from New Richmond to Lick Run
would cost about SIS, 900, and that the
| cost of the embankments, bridges, &C.,
necessary to carry the road over the
Miami Bottoms would be about $40, 900,
to be shared equally by the two compan-
