~ TIE Chronicle" SnukbeA,

We arc informed by a dispatch
from San Francisco that The Chron-
iclc Of that city has met with sad
disappointment in connection with
the lightning train. otherwise Jarrett
4 Palmer's mammoth advertising
scheme. The Chronicle is hrst-
class newspaper, always ready b I'M
cur great oatlays Of money and ener-
yy to provide its readers with late
news in full details Consequently,
when the lightning trans-continental
trip was projected, it opened eorre-
spondence with the managers with
the view to having q representative
board the train at Ogden and tcle-
graph all the incidents of the pas
sage to San Francisco. The man
ayers refused the request of The
Chronicle, although the latter offered
= pay the fall amount OF fare for
the trip, $500. fhis WAS singular
thing for them to do, insswuch as 1t
is hard to conceive how anybody
could be injured by 1t. while the
people of San Francisco would be
accommodated with just the sort of
reading their sppei,tes crared. After
this refusal The Chronicle dispatched
q reporter to Truckec in the hope
that he might be permitted 70
board the train st that point
and ride to the terminus. Again the
managers turned the cold shoulder
TO the proposition and informed the
reporter by telegraph that he need
not wait for ride with them, as it
would not be tolerated a. all. The
expsetap, reporter then took train
for home, dis.usted with the eScur-
sionists and resolved, no doubt, to
give them a blowing up for their i'm
pertineuce when he again seated
himself at his desk in the dinyy
ssnctum on Clay street We may
therefore expect To see some remarks

So that journalists were not alto
cether excluded. We believe the
traia Sss run for the purpose of adj
vertising the Ncw York Herald and
Messrs. Jarret, S Palmer. The
Herald wanted monopoly of the
news in this country, and only al
lowed Paris and a London paper 10
with it. Ii was small piece of
business or the part Of The Herald
to exclude paper printed on the
other side of the continent froa. il

she whole thing was gotten up not so
much to see what could be done in

preble County Poet.

Probably our readers are not aware
that Preble County has at present, a
poet of some Repatriation now re-
siding at Philadelphia, in the person
of w. w. FISHER, son of our citizen,
Mr.. Eli Fisher. A splendidly gotten
up work of the contributions of this
gentleman is-now issued, copy of
which has been handed us for peru
sal. In speaking of this Centennial
work, we can do no better than quote
from the Philadelphia SUNDAY MER-
curry, as we acknowledge u inabili-
ty as a critic upon this kind of litera-
ture. 1t says:
"Perhaps it will be some encour-
agement to young writers to learn
what amount of pluck it requires at
this day to be successful i'll literary
pursuits. A few incidents in the ca
reer of our young friend and poet,
w. W. Calico Fisher, author of "The
National Gloria" and other poems,
are especially adapted to this end.
Mr.. Fisher descends froma wealthy
and respectable family in Ohio, but
is a resident of this city. His ma
tional Gloria" is a lengthy poem of
eight c%antos, descriptive of the ma
tional scenery in America, with a
few touches on the Revolutionary
and Mexican wars, and a short disser-
tation on the sbloody chasm.n Nc
one can dispute the beauty and fine
poetical feeling running all through
the poem. In it he has erected a
statue to the fall of Lincoln, and the
Goddess ofLiberty is splendidly de-
scribed. His "~Centennary Anthem

-nial as specimen of his ability to

were written later, and showed n

to his powerful imagination in de-
scribing nature, and some of his yer
ses seem to carry us Immediately from
our dingy homes out among the
mountains which he so grandIy de-
