friends of reform and honesty could have
adjusted their irrcconcilablo differences as to

pleted to Williamsburg we venture the
assertion that IL will not tarry long there,
but will extend eastward opening up q
country which lies between the Marietta
and Cincinnati Railroad and the Ohio
River, which will bring all that territory
in direct communication with our city.
But this is not all The Miami Valley
Narrow Gauge will intersect the Dayton
and Southeastern Road at or near Xenia,
which now extends from Dayton to Gal
lipolis. and will. by way Of the Waynes-
vile, Port William, and Jacksonville
line, connect with the Springfield, Jack
son and Pomeroy road, which extends
from Springfield to Pomeroy.
Both the ID. and s. T. and :. j. and p.
roads are now being constructed, and
pass out of fine agricultural regions
from Montgomery aud Clarke counties
through Fayette and Ross. into the great
mineral regions Of Pike, Jackson, Gallia
and Meigs
The hills Of these counties abound in
untold wealth of coal, iron and salt, Of q
very superior quality, which are nov
fast demanding the attention OF capital
lists, and which will soon develop 3
strength scarcely dreamed OF.
Cincinnati is the natural distributing
points for the products Of the vast agri
cultural and mineral districts through
which these several roads traverse. anc
he Mama Valley Road is the wanting
/ link necessary to connect these othc
roads with our city. Hence We canno
over estimate the advantages to be de
rived from the granting OF an inlet {,

trade which can reach Us by no othe

ANEW RAILROAD PROJECT.
Miami Valley Narrow Gauge Railroad

Our city is now being so much wrought
up in the interest Of the Southern Rail
road movement which has already cost
US ten millions of dollars, and to which
it is proposed to add six millions more
that the smaller enterprises, however
important, scarce receive attention.
There is now a movement on foot
which has assumed, not only a formida-
BILE, but practical shape, and was for
mally placed before the public, yester-
day, by way of an ordinance which was
presented to the Board OF improvements.
for their approval, the consideration of
which, by that body, was deferred till
Thursday.
The movement referred to is that made
by the Miami Valley Narrow gauge Rail
way Company. This Company have a
charter extending from our city, through
the northern part OF this county, and a
part of Butler, Warren and Green COun-
ties to Xenia
The southern terminus OF the road
will be on Broadway, between Court aud
Hunt streets, and the line will pass
through Avondale, Norwood, Pleasant
Ridge, Mason, Lebanon and Waynesyille.
Those of our readers who are acquaint-
cd with the region through which the
line passes and who are advised Of the
important com ections that this road
will make, can realize the benefits that
will accrue to our city by its construc-
tion.
One of the great features of this under
taking is that it will pass through and
fast populate that most beautiful and nat
ural out let Of Cincinnati, beyond Wal
nut Hills, Norwood, and Pleasant Ridge
1t will bring these points within few
minutes of the heart of the city, and will
give our citizens cheap and desirable
homes, as well as those who may wish to
leave the busy marts, and retire to the
more quiet and luxurious rural retreats.
Manufacturing and commerce are max
ing such inToads within the hills and
valleys that an outlet through the more
elevated suburbs for homes is indispen-
sable for the health apd comfort OF our
families. This line OF road will afford
such an outlet Hence, the work should
not only be looked upon with favor. but
should and will receive that encourage
ment by material aid from our pent-up
citizens that its Importance demands.
The local adyan tages OF this road can
not well be over estimated. Besides .
these, il is destined TO have a most mate |
rial influence on our commercial and
interests. IL will be the /.
grand trunk road to the extensive mar |
row gauge system, fast developing in the |
north, northeast and northwest OF Us.
Those giving the matter attention |
know that there is projected road from /
DuF city to Batavia and Williamsburg, 4
which is headed by men whose names 4
insure its success, which seeks an en-
trance over this end of the Miami Valley /
When this road is COM
