There have never been so'many men
and teams at work on railroads in this
township as there are at this time.
It is SO years aga this winter since
the first movement was made here in
the direction of railroad Transports
tion between Cleveland and Pittsburg.
Then there was no railroad either at
Cleveland or Pittsburg. The reports
made of the meetings held here had
wonderful stirring effect on the public
mind of Northern Ohio, and several
other kindred projects were quite sud
denly started, and charters obtained
from the legislature. The financial
prostration that shortly after followed
brought suspension and ruin upon
about everything set in motion in that
expansive period, and for some years
after, horses, cattle, and canal boats
carried on the trade we had between
the Ohio river and the Lake. The
cattle we brought in or exported, were
engineered along on their legs. For

CHILDREN ON MARRIAGE,

Children are the keenest observers
and the most practical deducers I; in
deed, their deductions are often more
astonishing than agreeable to their ell
ders, Though we laugh, we do not al
ways enjoy having our weakness re-
vealed to us by the babblings Of babes.
Six little children were at play, and
whether it was that they grew tired of
familiar games or that that innate prin-
ciple, ut is not good for man to be
aione,n craved expression, they deter
mined to have wedding. John, aged
eight, should marry Hatty, aged FIVE,
and brother Harry would speak 1.-THE
words that bind"
Now, Harry had never heard mar
riage ceremony and was entirely ignor-
ant of the prevalent pledges /; but was
he at loss Not he. He knew what
papa and mamma considered of para
mount virtue, and surely what they each
so eagerly desired must constitute the
requisites of a happy married life.
The candidates for wedlock were re-
quested TO stand side by side, and grave
ly obeyed.
"Hatty, will you get up in the morn
ing and see that John has his breakfast
in time and that he has good things to
eat and never has to wait for his meals ?"
John, will you give her all the money
she wants ?"
That was all, but does it not contain
the quintessence of married felicity p

to Sudbury street aud stopped at place
where he read "Robert French, Manu-

He entered the building, and going up
one Hight of stairs, opened a door and
entered a room fitted up as an office. A
man sat at desk anxiously examining
a pile OF papers He looked up as Mr..
Rogers entered, stared at him as If he
