Mr.. Emmitt failed in his efforts to raise
money ia the East to enable him to re-
Iieye the road ofits embarrassments and
assume the presidency and management
oft. He telegraphed on Friday that he
was unable TO make the arrangements as
he had expected to- On Saturday appli-
cation was made for the appointment of
Receiver for the road, and w n. White
" was appointed as such Receiver. A
/ dispach from Springfield, Feb. 1st, to the
Cincinnati Commercial, says:
A the meeting last night of the Di-
reetors of the s., j. & P. NarrOw-gauge,
it was decided the time had come to put
the road in the hands of a receiver, and
Judge Hume, of Hamilton, was tele-
graphed 10 come here to-day. At 80
this afternoon he heard the application
for the appointment of a receiver, and
granted it, naming Vim. n. Whitley, late
President of the road. The attorney rep
resenting the stockholders, desired that
the appointment be delayed for a time,
but Mr. Emmitt having failed in his mis-
sion East, it was deemed there was no
ground for delay, aud the appointment
was made. The move was something of a
surprise, but there is no oexcitement, most
people feeling that the action taken was
best under the circumstances. Although
the road is doing large and paying busi=
ness, the debt of over $500, 900 threatened
to crush it. The Court stated that he
would authorize the payment of claims
for wages and supplies incurred during
the past four months; and this will in
clude the redemption of scrip paid out on
such accounts. Several thousand dollars
worth of this was cremated last night

Fayette County not TO be Plated.
By the terms OF alaw passed by the
legislature of this State last May, making
provisions for the ere-appraisement of real
estate in 1880, the Commissioners of the
different counties in ethe State were re-
quired, at their March session in 1879,
having previously advertised for sealed
proposals for the work, to contract for
the plating and mapping of the county,
so as to enable the district assessors to
correctly Fe-appraise all the real estate in
the county. Anumber of the counties of
theState have already advertised for pro-
posals for this work, and some have al
ready made contracts. The work is ex-
pensive, costing from $1,000 to $40 900 for
each county, The estimated cost tor this
county is about IS, 900. The people in
many of the counties Of the State were
opposed to the work being done at this
time, on account of the heavy expense,
and in many cases, the lack of any neces-
sity for it. In this county the advertise
ment for proposals has not yet been pub
lished, and last week the law of last May
was so amended by the legislature as to
Ieaveit optional with County Commits
sioners to have the pIats and maps made
orsnot. as the interests of different coun-
| ties might require. At the meeting OF
| the Commissioners of this county on Mon
day. the Board decided under the amend
ed law, not to have the work done in this
Ee0unty.

OBITUARY.
Death OF Hepworth Dixon, the Dlstin
guished English Historian.

Death OF Hepworth Dixon, the Dlstin-
guished English Historian.
LONDON. Dec. 27.-The death is announced
traveller and for many years editor of the
London Athene,I,7a in his 59th year. The cause
of his death was apoplexy.
William Hepworth Dixon, whose death is
announced above, was born in Yorkshire,
England, 1921. In 1916 he entered at the
bar, but instead of devoting himself to the
legal profession, adopted that of literature.
In 1853 he became editor of the London
At21eneuna, which Office he resigned in 1864.
Among his principal works are "John How
ard, Memoir" (reprinted in Now York in
1849); the "Life of William Penn" 1851, in
which Lord Macaulay's charges against the
founder of Pennsylvania were first met
seriatim and refuted; "RobertBlake, Ad-
miral and General at Sea- in which he had
the assistance of the famous Earl of Dun
donald; ''The Holy Land" etc. In 1866 he
spent the summer and autumn in travelling
through the United States. ssNew America
q record of this voyage, appeared in 1867,
and met with distinguished success in both
this country and Great Britain. His lives
of Penn and Blake, together with the ''Holy
Land'' and ''New America" have passed
through many editions and have been re-
printed in Leipsic and in America. The
latest work from this writer's pen is ''Her
Majesty's Tower" published both in London
and in the United States, in 1869.
He revisited this country about two years
ago, and made tour of the principal cities
of the East, lecturing to good audiences.
Upon his return home he wrote series of
articles on American characteristics and Gus
toms, which formed valuable contribution
to the State literature of the day. His de-
mise will be learned with regret by all who
delight in the more refined and higher order
of literature.

Where Shall Wander, If tho Sixth Ward
Becomes Unsafe.

Where Shall Wander, If tho Sixth Ward
Becomes Unsafe.
Certain residents of the Sixth ward are
agitated over the ownership of goose, and
had Esop been unfortunate enough to have
lived in these degenerate days he might here
have found ample material to point moral
or adorn tale equally as famous as anysof
the famed productions that have been the
wouderment of an admiring posterity. His
tory has recorded that no less disaster
than the famous downfall of Troy is attri-
butable to the untimely cackling of flock of
giddy geese, and in view of this tradition it
is not strange that the minds of the credu-
lous Sixth warders should descry clots of
blood in the moon arising from the same
origin. -.
At present the web-footed battle is con-
fined to the families of Dufour and O'Con-
nor, who each swear that they will not be
undone Though the earth yawn and the heav-
ems fade away as vapor. Yesterday morn
ing the better half of the
O'Connor family entered the police
court and related pitiful story about the
absence of goose which she claimed had
been feloniously abstracted by Frank Du-
four, residing q short distance from the
OConnor mansion in the Sixth ward.
The story goes that number of stray
geese belonging to the O'Connor flock left
their native pastures, and commingled with
the geese owned by Dufour, who is said to
have cudgled one of the O'Connor children
when she came to reclaim her alleged prop
erty. On the other hand, Dufour claims
that he can identify his geese as easily as
any member of the family, forcibly init
mating that the O'Connors have INDUCED in
a species of prevarication. The claim will
no doubt be investigated by the court.
