The Il. G. & G. Rail Road.

In our office a day or two since,
we were shown an excellent map
of the Eureka, Cochransville and
CORVALLIS Rail Road, made by
Frank Triplet, showing the route
complete, with all the lands and
timber-tracts through which it
passes.
This road is being built as a
wooden-tram-way at present, from
the new place of Eureka, at the
mouth of McElroy OH the Ohio river,
back to the timber-lands of Coch-
ran Bros, on Goose creek. From
Goose creek toward the river, 7
miles of the road is completed and
in use. Cochran Bros, are bring
ing out large quantities of lumber
and slaves over the road, two mules
hauling from 1000 to $500 feet of
lumber on truck cars at a load, and
making two trips day.
The Company has decided to in
crease it's capital stock 30 shares of
s50each, in order to atonce complete
the remaining four miles of track
to the river.
This improvement will be O.
great value to timber owners in
that part of Peasants county, and
will, doubtless, before long be com
pleted through to CORVALLIS, on
the B. & O. r. r.
Cochran Bros. are doing brisk
business on Goose Creek, in lumber,
and merchandise, and making
things lively in that vicinity.
John, Park and Joe Cochran com
pose the young, enterprising firm.

TRANSPORTATION TO THE STATE
CoNVENTIoN.-The Emma Graham
will carry delegates to the Wheel
ing Convention at reduced rates,
She is due at Huntington about 8
o'clock Sunday evening, June Goth,
and will arrive at Wheeling Tues
day about noon. 1t will be neces-
sary for persons by the Chesapeake
q Ohio r. r. to 60 to Huntington
Saturday, or on the Sunday after
noon train in order to reach Wheel
ing at the beginning of the Con
vention, Tuesday evening.
The steamer Scotia will pass
Huntington sometime Monday
evening, reaching Wheeling on
Wednesday about noon. She will
doubtless carry passengers at the
same rates. 1t is hoped there will
be goodly number of delegates
from the Kanawha region. If you
can't reach the river in time for
the Emma Graham, by all means
take the Scotia. The prospect
Is that there will be a good stage
OF water in the river. Returning
the Graham will leave Wheeling
early Thursday morning, and the
Scotia early Friday morning.
Arrangements for the usual re-
duced rates will be made with the
b. u 0. Railroad Company.

Vienna Temperance Meeting.

We had real good meeting and
good time at Vienna School House
last Friday evening.
The Temperance Band from Par
kersburg filled hack, and had a
nice moonlight ride. The School
House was filled with the good-hu-
mored people of the good-humored
neighborhood.
Rev. Jordan Hall was madeChair-
man, and 7. G. Rector, Secretary,
and prefxed and suffixed with mq-
sic and prayers, Rev. G. G. Wild
ing entertained most entertain
able audience with one of his most
entertaining temperance speeches.

good, sound, practical talk.

Spaslnodic.

Drunkenness is spasmodic,
contagious and epidemic, and
wherever the necessary con-
ditions and facilities are establish
ed and maintained by law, the COM
munity is liable to storm at ANY
moment, in spite of all vigilance Of
police and it were just rs reasona-
Bile to establish and maintain, by
law smothered fire in the midst
of a dense city, liable to be famed
into fury by the first breexc,i.to
devastate surrounding sq,Nrcsrihd
districts, and then at public,ex-
pense maintain watch with water
pals about it to keep it in bounds
from year to year, as it is to tolerate
and legalize liquor saloons In the
same city. s.''"'
For some time back, through the
efficiency of our police and the
courts, there had been a very en-
couraging lull in the drunken
breezes that had pervaded our
streets for years, till last Saturday
we were struck by veritable 81
moon of debauchery. 49,
Young men and old were.on the
streets in every stage of drunken
ness. Some were noticeably drunk,
some funny drunk, some fool drunk,
some yelling drunk, some mad
drunk, some fighting drunk, and
some dead drunk. One fellow was
inquiring the way to Parkersburg,
so drunk he didn't know he'd been
in town long enough to make a fool
of himself
Another followed two young la
dies, with a young gentleman friend
who was visiting in the city, up
Market Street, using abusive and
filthy language, to avoid which, the
ladies were obliged to take refuge
in Mr.. J. l.. Sorrel's store. The fell
low insisted on entering the store
to whip the party for some mag
ined wrong, to which Mr.. Sorrel
objected. All other efforts failing
to prevent a "forcible entry" Joe
called into requisition that reserv-
ed force of "moral suasion," that
temperance man sometimes finds
necessary and very felicitous in re-
suits He just administered few
applications in quick succession,
about the intruder's head, the part
Of him that seemed to be most out
of order, which enabled him to walk
straighter, and wisely decide that
he had no business inside, and
would better go off somewhere and
get sober.
We have no desire to follow with
other shameful proceedings that we
might give of Saturdays drunken
| ness.

LEGALIzED.-Last Saturday a
number of legalized drinkers visited
the legalized houses in our city,
where they procured of the legal
lied dealers legalized quantities of
legalized fuss and fight in solution
and directly there were legalized
rows, and sundry legalized knock
downs, resulting in legalized black
eyes, and several legalized arrests
by legalized policemen under legal
lied salaries and legalized commits
slons to put down legalized lawless-
ness and preserve the legalized
town against the legalized traffic.

Well, you say, and who's Bro.
Green? Wen tell you.
Some thirty-odd years ago, there
were some half-dozen, hale and
hearty, bare-footed, chip-hatted,
linen-gallused boys, much together
on an old farm in Tyler county,
pulling weeds and suckers in the
corn-feld, fishing, and gathering
and helping to dry apples in an old
orchard. While those boys held
their own at all kinds of play, they
all had pious, praying, and some
of them exhorting parents; so they
must needs have their juvenile
prayer-meetings and revivals, and
the boy that was the most sober
md demurc, and that could preach
and pray without laughing, was
chosen by common consent as leader
and exhorter, and hailed by his
beloved boy brethren and congrega-
ton as Brother Green" which fra
ternal and aflectionate title he has
carried ever since. So that's Bro
Green.
Among those happy, innocently-
mischievous boys, besides Bro
Green, were Sam and Dan and Ike
and Elk, that was nick-nameG
Quiller, and Nath., called Bro
Andy, in honor of his good old faith
er-but we must forbear-for wher
we start for a pleasant ramble
through the happy past, how soon
we run into graveyards and stumble
over tombstones The two last
named lie silent in the grave" and
others we might name are long
since asleep.

In the commendable rush of bus
mess necessary to a large and salts
factory revenue from the traffic, a
number of prisoners were waiting

fights, and directly, our little mans
man suddenly vamoosed, without
leaving any revenue. An exciting
chase down Market Street was the
next and natural thing in order,
and there was rush from business
houses and cross-streets to see
whether there was fire, an lnya-
sion, a dog-fght, or what could be
the matter.

this time corralled him at Castle

the blue coats levy on you, you may

Children's Day.

Day" at the NJ. E. Church. and
surely it was a most bright and
happy day for the little folks.
The Sunday School met at the
usual hour in the afternoon, togeth-
er with the many invited children
and friends from other schools and
congregations in the city. 1t were
hard to describe the appearance of
the church with its elaborate deco
rations. The diffusion, profusion
and effusion of floral fragrance were
altogether absorbing and captiva-
ting.
A fine pyramid of vases and bo-
quets, with background of ferns,
occupied the platform, rising near
ly to the ceiling and surmounted
with an evergreen cross. Then
there were festoons and wreaths of
evergreens, with floral crosses, bask-
cts and various designs tastefully
arranged throughout the rooms,
with boquets and petitioners in the
windows, on stands all about the
room and everywhere, and most
charming and captivating of all
were the numerous bird-cages with
their happy warblers stretching
their little Threats to outsing the
happy boys and girls.
Superintendent Smith seemed to
be even more at home here than in
the Court House as Sheriff Smith.
Indeed We are quite sure that hay
ing to do with the pure and limo
cent little folks under his charge, is
much more in harmony with his
genial nature, than dealing with
the rough and hardened classes be-
fore the criminal courts.
But we can't go into the particu-
lars of this happy occasion, that
comes to the children of this large
and excellent school once a year.
A most interesting programme OF
singing, responsive and concert
lessons, and speeches, was gone
through with enjoyably, with the
Superintendent as the affable Mas
ter of Ceremonies.
Rev. J. W. Carter was the first
speaker, and catching the inspira-
tion of his fowery surroundings,
made a running, ready speech, full
of beautiful lessons and poetical
thoughts for the children, drawn
from the music of the song-birds
and flowers and fragrance all about
them, assuring them, at the outset
of his pleasure in meeting "thls fcs-
tive and howery company on this
festive and howery occasion, in this
| festive and fowery season.
Interspersed with music, there
followed practical speech full Of
pointed advice and admonition te
the little folks, by Mr.. O. G. SEQ
field, and an excellent talk by Mr.
B. NJ. Amber, Of the beauty and
security of the Kingdom of Christ,
for which the children were being
trained and prepared. The Pastor,
Rev. G. c. Wilding, in his happy
way, presented the object of the oc-
casion, the raising of funds to edu-
cate poor young men for the minis
try, through the agency and work
of the children of the church, for
which purpose collection was tax
en-.
1t was a glad time for the chill
dren and all present, and we are
sure all our churches would be wise
to have a Children's Day.
We learn that the extensive dec
orations were largely due to the
earnest and faithful work Of J. NJ.
Taylor, Herbert Cotton, Jas. Bryan
and Walter MAR, with the willing
help of Misses Mollie Taylor, Mag
gle Mckee and others.
