Rail Road.

On the evening of the 22d, the one hundred
ana NTH anniversary of our Fathers birth,
there was the largest gathering of the sub
stantial business men of the surroundings OF
Forest Hill, in our hall, that it has ever been
our fortune to meet, to listen to an address
from Stephen Boyd, an ex-President of the
Peach Bottom Narrcw-Gauge Railway, who
gave the most practical and convincing
speech we ever heard in favor of n narrow
gauge. lie commenced by saying, from the
complexion of the meeting he thought they
meant business, The first step toward a
railroad from Delta to Baltimore, through
the central part of Hartford and Baltimore
counties, was for the people to divest them
| selves of the least idea of John Garrett,
Thomas Scott or any company outside of
said counties, building railroad for us; that
the Pennsylvania Central and Baltimore and
Ohio were thoroughly accommodated by the
Wilmington, and no enc has heard any COM
plant of that road being over-worked, even
during the centennial year. That point
settled, the next thing to be done was TO Or
ganze company and get a sufficient amount
subscribed to enttle them to letters patent
and legal existence, and then canvass the
country, and when four thousand liars per
mile was subscribed, which would be but a
little over one dollar per acre on the land

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and

It is good to speak well of the dead,
hut il can't hurt old Charley Riptons
feelings TO state that he was one OF the
toughest old drunkards in Detroit. He
has been gathered in by death, and he
will hear not nor readnot. His life was
as curious as his death. He lived a. an
experiment. He wanted to sec whether
he could kill whisky before it killed him,
and when he found himself defeated he
owned up like man and was ready to
die.
Think OF a man being more or less in
toxitated every day in the week for forty
two-years! That was old Charley's ex.
perience as near as he could remember.
Not man of his acquaintance ever saw
him have as much money as dollar nj
time, and yet he managed to keep clothes.
ON his back, food under his jacket, and
to find a bed. When men asked him
what be lived for, he answered: " To
take solid comfort" Perhaps he had 1t.
No one ever saw him angry; he never
made complaint, he was never worried,
and il wasn't half tho time that he couid
tell the day Of the week.
, Well, after fighting whisky for forty
two long years, old Charley laid aside his
battle.ax the other day. Nobody knew
