From the Batavia papers of last
week we learn that large meeting
of stockholders of this road was held
there on the 9Th inst, at which it
was decided by nearly a unanimous
vote, to extend the road from Will
iamsburg to Portsmouth via Winches-
ter, and to increase the capital stock
from 100000 to S5OO,O0O. The
whole road from the Little Miami
river to Williamsburg is now under
contract, and it is expected that the
cars will erunning to Williamsburg
by September, and to Winchester by
the 1st of January, 1877. Parties
present from Winchester reported
the entire amount of stock subscrib-
ed necessary to eonplete the road to
that place.
The people of Clermont, Brown
and Adams counties have worked
hard for this road, and deserve to
succeed.

Our farmers have taken time by

planting corn.
Wheat looks tolerably well for the
season.
Apple blossoms are tolerably
plenty.
Health is generally good.
We have had some changes in our
Village. Our friend, J. McMeekin,
is back in his old Hotel, after a years
absence, and our young friend, Sam
uel Webster, has started another Ho-
tel Both are real gentlemen, and
as competition is the life of trade, !"
the public may expect good fare.
The Odd Fellows have bought the
house on the southeast corner of
Main and Cross streets for $3.50, cash
down. This shows they are in a
good financial condition. They in
tend to build good house (some
day. and use the upper room for a
Hall.
Our old friend, John Butler, is
building one of the largest and finest
barns in our township. He is one
of our best farmers, and don't DO
things by halves.
1 am sorry to say that we have two
places in our township where liquors
are sold, and another one is 'sprout-

ing to the sentiments of our people.

Another Railroad Project.

The Batavia Sun thus refers to a
new project for a narrow gauge
railroad, through this place, which
may result in something Of practical
interest to our people. We shall
keep watch of the matter, and re-
port further developments:
A project is on hand for the build
ing of railroad from the Ohio River
at Pomeroy running through Jack
son G. H, Hillsboro, Fayetteville,
Newtonsville, Milford and Walnut
Hills to the City. A. party in inter
est of the atlantic Narrow Gauge"
passed over this route last week,
making a preliminary view, ard are
reported to be very highly pleased
with the country through which the
contemplated line will pass. The
Milford people are red hot to go into
the enterprise; the following persons
are reported as willing to subscribe
the amounts set down opposite their
names: A H Brewer, $1,000; d.
K. Harvey $1,000; S. J. Rybolt ST.
900; W. Q. Mellen $4,000; John
Buckingham $4,000. Hon. S. A.
West has opened correspondence
with the leading citizens at the diff
ferent towns along the route, and a
meeting will likely be called soon
at some central point to give the
project a consideration. John Dill
Ion and other prominent citizens of
Fayetteville are very anxious to take
hold of this work and push it
through.

Ours is grOaoing town. As an
evidence of this, l will say that the
Getty fathers" at their last meeting
provided by ordinance for a night
watchman. We can now lie down
in peace and safety, feeling that all
will be well, for we have policeman
passing up and down the Village
with his little club.
We also have a new hotel. The
large three story building, owned by
the Masonic order, on the corner of
Broadway and Pearl, has been newly
painted and remodeled throughout
by Jubal Holladay, and is now the
american House" He starts out
with fattering prospects. We now
have three hotels.
There is rumor floating about
the Village, that two or three Of
Lynchburg's fair daughters, have
taken advantage of their Leap year
privileges, and will soon settle down
in houses of their own. That the
milliners and dressmakers are busy
preparing the necessary outfits.
This may or may not be true.
J. W. Peale is building nice, new
residence, which, when completed,
will be an ornament to the town.
The summer games have come
with the season. This is vacation,

and the big boys (and girls too) are
busy with mallet and ball on the va
rious croquet grounds. Yours,

a Very Small Business.

The Gazette of last week makes a
very foolish and unwarrantable attack
upon Mayor Stevenson, because he
saw fit to appoint Mr.. Ed. Colvin, a
Republican, on the police force, in
stead of Mr.. Vance McConnaughey,
a Democrat, who did all in his pow
er to defeat the Mayors election!
When were any Democratic officials
hereabouts known to prefer Re
publican to one of their own party,
in the distribution of their official
appointments? Never, to our certain
knowledge, and yet when the same
rule is applied to them that they ap
ply to the Republicans, they raise a
terrible outcry, and charge Mayor
Stevenson with committing "a high
handed outraged"
The Gazette says that Colvin was
not fit person to be appointed. If
so, how did lie manage to obtain the
signatures of thirty or more of our
leading business men, to all of whom
he is well known, (includiug all three
of the Banks) to an agreement to
pay him 81 month, each, for his
services as night policeman until
September, when the Corporation
will have funds in the treasury to
pay the police? With such backing
as that, the Mayor was entirely jus
titled in appointing Colvin, and the
attempt of the Gazette to censure
him for so doing, is too ridiculous
to merit serious notice.
The Gazette S statement that our
business men subscribed for the sup
port of the police with the under
standing that all "the old force would
be continued, does not agree with
the facts, as we have shown, for at
least 80 of them subscribed to a pa
per to employ Colvin, who did not
belong to the old force. We are in
formed that McConnaughey did not
circulate any subscription paper in
his own behalf, while Messrs. Mule
nix and Willetts, of the old force,
both circulated papers and obtained
considerable subscription. Mr..
Colvin, as we have said, also circu-
lated paper especially for himself

THE PRACTICE of indiscriminate drug
ging can hardly be too severely con-
demned. The effect of all such amateur
doctoring is to unduly stimulate organs of
the body for while, after which they are
LEFT worse than before. Relief for the
lungs is of a different nature, and is
always a gain, by leaving them stronger
for the rest it gives. Why suffer the tired
feelings, the fever and irritability, that
every form of lung disease, however
trivial, is sure to give, when the magic aid
of HALLS BALsAM dispels these miseries,
and leaves one fresh and free for the duties
and delights of hfe2 Sold everywhere.
