THE DEAD FoUND.-Last week two gentlemen
came to this town in search of lost boy, one of
whom was the father Of the lad and, as he had
left home two years ago last May, and not having
been heard from since, he had reached the con.
clusion that his son was dead. The fathers name
is White, and he lives near Ravenna, Portage Co.,
o. He was led to come here through postal
card from one Of our infrmary directors, which
accidentally fell into his hands. 1t seems that
the boy came to River Styx last spring, and has
since been in that neghborhood, working for diff
ferent parties. About a month ago, he was kick
ed by horse, breaking his leg; and, having no
means to pay the doctors BILL he was reported to
the infirmary, and hence the card referred to-.
The boy claimed to have come from Hardin
county to River styx, but where he was for the
two years previous, or why he left home, we were
unable to learn. He was taken In charge by the
father, and started on the return trip the same
evening" WddstUorth Enterprise.

THE VALLEY RAILROAD There was meeting
Of the Directors of the Valley Railroad at Cleve-
land last Friday and Saturday but their action
was taken in secret and the full result of their de-
liberations will not be made public for some time,
though acknowledged to be of importance. This
much we have learned, however: The prospects
for early consolidation and completion are bright
almost to certainty. The English capitalists
were here looking at the line and its resources,
and who are already interested in the M, & P. R,
X, with which the connection Is to be made view
the project with flattering favor. 1t is generally
understood, also, amoung those who are best in
formed that the Valley R. R. may yet be complet-
ed as an independent road.
