1t will be seen that the work Of railway eX-
tension has been carried on in forty-two States
and Territories, the only State in which no
new track is reported laid being Connecticut
and Delaware and the only Territories thus
distinguished being Idaho, Indian Territory
and Utah, although it is probable that few
miles were laid in the latter. The remote pos
session of Alaska, Of course, does not come into
this category. Texas leads the Country in re-
spect of railway building, having added last
year, by our table, Al miles, which final re-
turns will probably increase to 1900, or more.
Colorado appears to come next, with about 800
miles, OF which no less than $40 are officially
reported to us as laid by that enterprsing
narrow-gauge railway company, the Denver 81
Rio Grande. This company built during the
year no less than ten different lines or por-
tions of lines. Iowa comes next, with nearly
800 miles, and Dakota and Ohio also show
thus far between 400 and 500 miles. Indiana,
Illinois, New Mexico and New York appear to
have added between 300 and 400 miles.
The narrow-gauge makes no insignificant
showing in the list of railway mileage con-
structed in 1881. OF the 25s different lines

debates upon the vetoed measure, and as he
believed every senator had made up his mind

Amendments to the bill reported by the com

the zeal with which Mr.. Hedges had served

ITEMS FROM LUCKEY.

ED. JoURNAL:-Our village is still
growing. Four new houses are being
erected and several not before finished are
being completed.
Messrs. Frank Cook, John Spies, Jacob
Oppliger, and Harvey Zimmerman are
building the new houses which they expect
TO complete Immediately. Mr.. VIM. S.
Loomis is making an addition TO his
house and finishing the main part. Mr..
Samuel Muir has rented his house for a
boarding house and it is being completed.
Mr.. Thomas Campbell had vendue of his
farming effects and moved to town yester.
day. Soon we will have another new
grocery store added to the list. Mr.. C.
expects to start hs new establishments; I'M
mediately. Mr.. d. N. Trowbridge is
keeping things moving constantly and
steadily. He put up tenant house and a
family from Toledo moved into it. Mr..
Trowbridge is doing large business here,
and he now has an immense stock on hand.
He has been shipping from two to three
car loads daily in times past.
The Ohio Central has built stock yard
here, no better place could have been
found anywhere.
Ii only some one who is interested in he
lime business would come and put up a
patent lime kiln, they would find good
investment for their money. The lime
stone here makes the very best OF lime,
which has been tested and proven, and
the location is excellent for that kind of
business both for shipping and in getting
wood TO burn.
Another good investment for any one to
make wonld be to erect few buildings TO
rent, for to-day houses rent for more in
Luckey than they do in Toledo.
The rains have made the roads very bad y,
and where they have been lately worked,
they are impossible. II the township
trustees and county commissioners wonld
let the jobs earlier In the senson, 70 that
the work could be done before the fall
rains come 1t would be an improvement
upon the present method. The petition
Tor the Carts ditch was handed to the
con, miasioners in May laa,, and the work
was sold just few days before the fall
rains came on, and now nothing can be
done with the road nor can the work be
completed, 30 II makes the whole thing a
bad Job.
Our new NJ. E. church IL about half
completed; hope il will be finished before
winter comes AZ il is very much needed
Tor Sunday school services, etc.
We have young genius here who can
beat anything In the country around tor
making trinkets. He can make any kind
OF a machine ont of rough cottonwood
bark. He aught by all means to be in
some manufacturing establishment or ma
chine shop, where he could exercise his
natural capacities for snch work. Any de-
string such young man should address,
Michael Hourd, Luckey, Ohio, and they
will confer favor on one deserving II.
Mr.. Joseph Kroizer is keeping his lime
kiln smoking. He Ia also making ar
rangements for o new house.
The general health of the community il
