CINCINNATI & HOOKING VALLEY
A LINE RUN FROM HILLSBORO TO
CAMBRIDGE.
A NEW LINE PROPOSED FROM FAY
EITEYILLE TO HILLSBORO,

The surveying corps, under the direc-
tion of Messrs. Niles and Brigden, last
week completed the survey Of the line from
this city east to Bainbridge. The line
passes down Plum Run, a short distance
south Of New Petersburg, crosses Rocky
Fork near the old distillery, and strikes
Bainbridge on the south. The engineers
report a very favorable line, Of easy grades
and few curves, and that the people along
the line are very anxious for the road and
will subscribe literally, besides giving the
right of way.
Mr.. Niles returned here on Tuesday, and
went back to Fayetteville.
Hon. H. C. Dawson, of Salem tp., was
in town Monday and Tuesday, looking af-
ter the interests of the Cincinnati and
Hooking Valley R. R. He reports that
there viii be no difficulty in raising all the
stock along the line, to build the road
from Fayetteville to Shackelton's, on the
narrow-gauge, about miles southwest Of
here, and use the narrow-gauge from that
point into town. He thinks this would be
the best route, as it would save building
about g miles of road, and avoid all dif-
fculty about rights Of way, which might
be encountered if the road were to come in
to town direct on the more northerly route
recently surveyed.

THE POST OFFICE.
IT Is TO BE REMOVED WITHIN
THIRTY DAYS,
FURNISHED WITH THE YALE LOCK
BOXES, &c.

1t has been rumOred on the streets for
several days past that Post Master Patter.
son was going to move the Post Office, and
in order to get at the facts in the matter
a representative Of the News called on him
this morning (Tuesday.) Mr.. Patterson
informed us that he was going to move the
office, and that too within the next thirty
DAYS. lie also said that he was going to
make changes. which would make the Office
one of the handsomest and most conven-
lent in any country town in Southern Ohio,
and declared that the change would suit
everybody. He has not fully decided yet
where he will go, but has five or six rooms
in contemplation. Among them are Mr..
Sayler's room, in the Bank block, Mr..
Hoggard's fine room on West Main street,
Mr.. J. L. Vests store room, on North
High street, DR.. Fullerton'5 room. few
doors north of Mr.. Vests, and the old
Trimble corner, now occupied by Mr.. ia
cob Schilly and the Misses Murphy.
From his remarks we think Mr.. Patterson
is partial to the Trimble corner, and it is
probable that there is where the office will
go. If so, the old building will be re-mod-
eltd and fixed up handsomely. Mr. SchiI-
ley and Miss Murphy will both be required
to yacate, and the first floor of the build
ing will be thrown into one room, with
the exception of a small apartment
for a private office.
The floor will be let down even with the
pavement, a new front will be put in, and
a thorough rejuvenating process gone
through with. Besides all this, the office
will be furnished with the Yale Lock
boxes, and the best post office furniture in
use. The room will be large and well
lighted and the location as convenient as
any in the city. The new Office will have
800 lock, and 400 call boxes, with six large
drawers for the newspapers and banks.
Mr.. Patterson is dissatisfied with his pres
ent quarters on account of the rent being
high, and its close proximity to the station
house, which is disagreeable, ewing to the
noise of the inmates and the stencil of the
sewer. The Trimble corner would be a
a good location and would suit the MAORI
ty of our citizens.

COURT.
VERDICT FOR DEFENDANT IN THE
CASE OF THE GRANGE SUP
PLY HOUSE VS.. ISAAC ROBB.

Judge Gregg, after several days absence
on account of illness, returned here on
Monday forenoon and opened Court about
II o'clock, A. N. A few orders were ta-
ken by various counsel, and the Receivers
of the Grange Supply House against Isaac
Robb, for $500 stock subscription, was
proceeded with. c. H. Collins, and Mat
theWs & Higgins appeared for the plain
tiffs, and Gov. Hart and J. E. Marks for
the defendant. At the close of Court on
Monday, jury had not been fully i'm
paneled, some of those who were summon
ed on a special venire not having arrived.
But this morning ( Tuesday } the impaneI-
ing of the jury was completed. The case
for the plaintiffs was stated by Mr.. Col
Inns. Gov. Hart then moved the Court
for judgment for defendant, upon the
pleadings. What Gov. Hart claimed was,
that there Wss a complete defense in the
answer, which was new and material, and
that the plaintiffs had not replied thereto,
and therefore under the law, that was to
be taken as true. Collins and higgins
argued contra. After Gov. Hart replied,
the Court decided in favor of the defend
ant, to which finding the plaintiffs ez-
cepted. Judgment was accordingly given
in favor Of the defendant, and the jury was
from the further consideration
Of the case.

Washington c. II. Waking Up When

II Is 100 LHles
Our lively neighboring city of Washing
ington c. II. has walked up at last TO the
fact that the Columbus & Maysville r. R.
will pass several miles to the west, instead
of through Washington. Her City Conn
Gil have ordered a vote to be taken on the
14th of March, on the question of issuing
$4,000 bonds, to aid in building the road.
It would have been money in her pocket if
Washington had done this three months ago,
when President Bell besought her leading
citizens personally to lend their aid to the
enterprise, but they turned the cold should
er, thinking, perhaps, that the road would
be built and come through Washington
anyhow. They now find themselves mis-
taken as TO the last proposition, and are
going to issue bonds, in the hope of still
getting the road. We would have prefer
red to see Washington a point on the line,
but when she might easily have secured
the prize she let the opportunity slip, and
she will now have the modification Of see
ing the road build up her smart and en-
terprising Clinton county rival, Sabina.
The Fayette Republican talks about the
Sabina route being "from Is to 20 miles
longer than the direct route through
Washington, but the editor only shows
his Ignorance Of the facts. The Sabina
route will not be to exceed 6 or miles
longer, as we are assured by Engineer Pi-
card. It won't mend matters, Mr.. Re
publican, to misrepresent the Sabina line,
for it is a fixed fact, aud don't you for
get it."
