VALLEY RAILRoAD-A meeting of the stock
holders Of Canton and vicinity was called by
President King In the room of the Agricultural
Society, last Thursday evening A large number
Of the stockholders were present and President
King opened the meeting by brief address,
stating the good condition of tie company, and
the clear prospects of an early completion Of the
road, After the close Of Mr., Kings remarks, Mr..
James Farmer arose and gave estimates of the
prospective amount of shipping that would fol-
low the building Of the road, demonstrating
that the receipts for shipments would pay inter
est on bonds and in addition produce fund to
aid In The completion of the road. Estimating on
the completion of the road from a point four
miles south Of Akron to Cleveland, the receipts
would be $1,000 per day While the c.. Mt. V. &
D. Ry. for an equal distance charge 81 20 per ton
for transporting coal, and the canal men charge
81 O5, the Valley Railroad Company could trans
port 1t for 30 cents per ton, owing to easier grades
and other advantages Estimating an average
shipment of tOcO tons per day, this would amount
to 5000, and passenger receipts and receipts from
other sources would swell the total receipts to
1920 per day, while running expenses would not
average more than 5000 per day, clear profit of
50per cent, This estimate is made only for the
distance mentioned above, and the further south
toward the terminus it was completed, the better
1t would become.

AN odd character was arrested in Poland town
ship by Deputy Sheriff Dole, last week, and placed
in the County Inhamary. For years past he has
been living hermits life in the Kirkland woods,
near the village of Poland. His home was in a
hollow tree. He never washed himself, and when
arrested his entire body was encrusted with the
ac, umuated filth of years. His mode of life was
as utterly wretched as can be imagined. Finally,
the presence of such a character became unbeara-
bic to the people of the neighborhood, and meas
ures were taken to confne him in the Infrmary
on a charge of lunacy, When the officer went to
arrest him he threatened resistance and -four
