We see some envious m0rtals object
to the Chicago and Northwestern Rail
way being called the greatest and best
line in the country. What means great
est? Ia it more length Of line, miles
operated and business transported?
What means best? Every n knows
the reply. That this line is greatest, a
few facts will demonstrate II operatea

W. elip the.following from the Pitta

burgh Escning Chronicle OF January 24th:
A Mtried ComplimenL-Te RaniShsd
Shed Iron Of W. D. Wood & Co.
Pittsburshers are familiar with the
fact that Messrs. W. D. Wood &Co., Of
the McKeesport Sheet Iron Works, have
been laboring for years TO manufacture
an iron that would be equal to Russia
iron. They have been the recipients OF
numerous concentrations, but the most
pointed comes from the National Associ.
alton Of Stove Manufacturers, which con.
vened in annual session in New York on
the 10th inst. All the prominent stove
manufacturers OF the country were rep :
resented, and as the members Of the as
ISOLATION can speak advisedly as to the
quality Of the iron produced at the es.
tablishment, the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted, will
convey their idea Of its quality:
Resolved, That we consider 1t the duty
Of all American manufacturers to bring
into their consumption, as mucAas posi-
bic, home products, especially when they
car procure them att redRced cost and Of
equal quality compared with foreign. We
therefore take pleasure, as an association
Of American manufacturers, in recon.
mending to the use Of stove makers
throughout the country American plan.
Ished iron, at the same time compliment
ing the manufacturers wv. D. Wood &
Co., Pittsburgh, Pa.) upon their success
in producing an article OF such good
quality and beauty Of finish.

TRAStPS


days.
TRAStPs
are quite numerous here Notwithstanding
there is an ordinance ordering their ar
rest, and upon conviction they are to be
sent around TO the west end Of the Mar
.ket House to break limestone for their
daily bread. 1t is an easy matter TO
make laws sometimes; but the enforce
ment OF them ia a very different one. II
WAS hoped when this ordinance was
passed hat it would be enforced and be-
come a terror TO tramps;s so much so that
they would give our town a wide berth.
WHEN WILL THE p. W. q KY. RAILROAD
be finished? is a question our business
men would like to have ar answer to, as
many Of them are now making up their
lists OF wants for the spring trade, and
those Of them who receive goods by rail
would like very much to be able TO order
their spring stock to be shipped via the
Panhandle and P. w. & Ky. route. II
is TO be hoped that all who desire 10 pat.
ronize the "new road" or tour road" as
it Is very frequently called, with their
spring trade will be fully Accommodated.
The ballasting Of the road still goes on.
We are informed by the officers Of the
gravel train working on this end Of the
line that they are now about done bal
lasting in this county, and tomorrow they
will be across Short Creek into Ohio
county; also, that engine 40 (Chas. Wolf
engineer), which now remains over night
in your city, is hauling ballast both ways
from Cleans Run; engine 80 wv. D.
Miller engineer) hauls from Browning's,
each day, FIVE trains Of fifteen car each,
loaded with gravel. Forty men are en-.
gagged in shoveling these leads off the
cars, putting it under the rails and ties,
and leveling the track.
A special car with some Of the officers
Of the Panhandle Railway Company
aboard passed over the new road on Wed.
nesday last. We did not learn who they
were or what positions they filled, as their
mission was, we we're informed, Of a
private nature and OF no interest 10 the
public. While the aforesaid car was
lying at the depot here, a number Of our
solid citizens "jnst happened around"
that way. Some one had gently whisper
ed that Tom Scott, the great railroad
man, was on that car, therefore the hap
pening, But Thomas was not Of the
party.
"Who will have charge of the station
here?" has bothered the mind Of the
anxious inquirer for a long while past,
with no appearance Of an early aatisfac-
tory answer.
"Wonder If they won't soon be put
ting up the telegraph wires," as now
next in order. That important branch
Of business was almost forgotten during
the excitement occasioned by the build.
ing Of the road through town. Now that
the work is nearing Wheeling the morn
ing papers are closely scanned for items
in regard to the progress Of the same,
and we will expect to get the bulk Of our
railroad news from the aforesaid source,
as it is the terminus OF the road.

In this region business is no doubt very
much depressed. Why this should be
when the crops have generally been so
good the past year il Is dilicult to under
stand. Shrinkage In value Of all sorts Of
property may have much to do with It.
An excess Of population in the towns as
compared with the country, beyond tue
proper proportion, no doubt also has
helped TO bring about this state o things;
audit cannot be fully remedled until the
equilibrium is restored. But in my
Judgment = still more prolific cause here,
