/
a large amount of work has been perform
ed on the old hydraulic canal west of this
city. 1t is rumored that Mr.. Bickens-
derfer will be compelled to retire from the
road as Chief Engineer but for what rea-
son we have not been able to ascertain.
We have received communication
from friend at Bonneville who says Rev.
J. NJ. Adams was not elected Supervisor
in Twin township last week. He received
a few votes from political enemies in as
they had intended a slurring manner. /
The Rev. Adams is staunch Republican
and last fall took occasion to do some zeal |
Gus work for friend and member of his |
church, who was candidate on the Re |
publican ticket, all of which the Reverend |
gentleman had a political as well as a re- |
ligiOus right to do, and some of his enc
mics took occasion to insult him by trying
to elect him to the insignificant office of
Supervisor. He was not elected, but we
presume that if he had been he would have
accepted and discharged the duties as
faithfully as he tries to supervise the af-
fairs of his church.

Rev. H. S. Gear, Corresponding Secre-
tary of the Ohio, Baptist State Convention

There is a neat little Weekly published
at the S. o. Home. Mrs. Kerr was editor
last week, and an item appeared in the
columns of that issue, that Mr.. Kerr and
family would leave the Institution bearing
the good will of all the children. Mr..
Kerr had 500 extra copies printed and they
were sent abroad. Doubtless at the ex-
pense of the State too.
I | g A. Q
E. r. R. is agitating the minds of the peo-
pie here to some extent. We have taken
some pains to inquire into the difference
in distances in the Oldtown run and the
Shawnee lines. The chief engineer in his
report to the Board makes this statement
From the southeast portion of the GENE.
, terry, to where the line would defect, tt
, Jamestown by the former route is II 13-10(
miles, and from the same point to the
same place by the latter route 10 93-10C
I miles. From the L. M. depot to James
town would be near q of mile less, anC
the cost of building by the Shawnee route
is less than building by the Oldtown run
Again, if the Oldtown run line was adopt
ed, passengers and freight requiring t
pass over any portion of the L. NJ. r. r.
' would require to be transferred across tn
E city. This would effectually preven
u competition with that road.
