M. PHILIPPE, an Eastern traveller, re.
lates thsl one day he went to the river at
Goa.'a Portuguese settlement in India,


and in dock near to the river side a
large ship was building. He saw q plo,
of ground near, covered with heavy
beams ready to be used for this purpose.
He watched, and saw the men fasten the
ends Of beam with a rope Of great
strength and thickness; this rope was
carried to an elephant employed to assis;
the workmen. The animal conveyed


the rope to his mouth, and after twisting
il around bis funk, be drew the beam
without any conductor to the place where
the ship was building. Other elephants
we're brought, 10 assist in the work, and
some o. them able 10 drag beams SO large
that twenty men were unable to move
them. Butwhat surprised the traveller
most was, not the amazing strength Of the
animal, but its sagacity; for when other
beams obs,ructed the road, the elephant
would raiss the end Of his own beam, that
it might slide easily over those which lay
10 his way. NJ. Toreen. another traveller
tells US that he also had the opportunity
OF noticing the sagacity OF an elephant

In attempting to say a word upon the subject
Of our Railroad interests we scarcely expect
to meet the ideas of all who have an interest
in these great enterprises, nevertheless we
hope to. We believe that the farmers and
producers generally have equal interest in
the welfare Of these artificial means of trans
portatlon. Hence, while The owner or stock
holder growls at low rates of fare, the farmer
and producer will express dissatisfaction at the
high rates. We do not, however. propose to
discuss the subject of rates Of fare, but simply
to alude to some of the Roads now in opera
ton ard these in course of construction. And
in SO doing we shall allude to the Roads nearest
our own interests and desires, and which have
not yet been constructed


The line from this city to ST. Louis, known
Us the "Cairo and st. Louis Railroad" and
from information we have been able to gather
we believe that its construction will cost less
than any other road of equal length and impor-
tance and that when completed, it will pay a
handsome dividend to its stockholders Nature
has kindly connected Cairo to St. Louis by
water communication. But when we take into
consideration the fact that this naturla tie does
not touch the immense coal fields on the pro-
posed undeveloped route, it forms very strong
argument in favor Of the construction of the
road


This Road, if ever constructed-and we do
not entertain q doubt as to tliat-will not only
pass through a rich coal section, but it will

We are a resident of Marysville, and
what little we have in this world is in Ma
rysville; we have worked for Marysville
are working for it now,-propose to work
for it in the future, but hoggishness and
unfairness we oppose.


The patched up ticket that is being run
by the Enterprise is exclusively Marys-
vile arrangement. an arrangement that
a majority of the substantial men of this
town do not, cannot endorse. 1t was got
ten up by few irresponsible persons who
have little or no interest in this place
men who can pack up and leave any day.


There could possibly be but nine men
upon the ticket nominated from Marysvile,
and this patched up aff.ir has takeu sesen
out of that nine from Marysville. Of
course the people Of the country will see
the imposition and injustice of the affair
and repudiate it and Marysville must bear
the odium. Let US be true to our friends
in the country and help them repudiate the
thing and give renewed assurances that
we are just and generous. MarysviIle can
no, flourish and have the surrounding coun-
try hostile to her, therefore let US all upon
election day stand by the regular ticket
and distribute the Offices of the county
around among those who help maintain
those Offices.

To the voters of Marysville and vicinity
we give the warning. There is feeling
of hostility in the county against Marys-
vile. 1t is caused by the selfish action of
some of its citizens in political matters.
We have done all in our power to allay
this feeling Of hostility. We have warned
warded and counse!ed against it; now if
evil results come from that hostility it is
no fault of ours.


In the Republican Union Convention we
labored to elect good men from the coun.
try to fill the various county Offices men who
would come to town and attend faithfully
to the duties of the Office. That conven.
ton placed nearly all the nominations in
the country. Now there is feeling mani.
fest among the people here to "throw off,
upon some of those nominations and take
up with Marysville men. This will be
met by retaliation in the country and that
of d serious character. The sensible, in
iuential men of this community know to
what we refer. There is yet time to heal
that estrangement. Three more days yet
before election. Let the solid men of Ma
rysville agree among themselves and give
satisfactory assurances of that agreement
TO the candidates in the country, that they
will stand up to the whole ticket faith.
fully and honorably, and all will be we'll.
The people in the country hold club over
our heads, if that club hits US, we shall be
sorry for it.


Marysville must treat the people of the
country, in all matters, and especially DO.
litical matters, with some degree of res
pect. The town has many friends in the
country, some few enemies; let US be sure
and treat our friends well and we need not
fear our enemies. Let the Republican
Union men Of this place, men who have
been benefited by the Republican Union
voters Of this county, stand square up to
the regular ticket, and our friends in the
country will do the esame-otherwise, other
wise.

From facts which have lately been
brought to our notice, we find that it is


not generally known that there is bounty
Of SO on every wolf killed in this county,
five dollars from the state, and five
dollars from the county-or if it is known,
we are satisfied that the people are ignor-
ant of the course to be pursued to obtain
that bounty. The course is as follows
when wolf is killed, the scalp With the
ears entire, must be shown to the clerk of
the circuit court, and by him destroyed.
He will then furnish the person presenting
the scalp, certificate, with which he can
obtain his county bounty; and VIE attend
to the procuring Of his state bounty. For
obtaining the county bounty, certifi-
cate before a justice Of the peace is suffi-
cient, but it is not sufficient to obtain the
bounty given by the state: for the law re-
qulres that the scalp shall be shown to the
clerk Of the circuit court. Out Of eighty
wolves killed in this county during the
last year, the state bounty has not been
paid on more than ten or twelve, which is
loss Of near three hundred and fifty dol
lars to the people Of this county. We
hope hereafter, that when wolf is killed,
the killer will in addition to the county
bounty Of five dollars, receive the state
bounty Of five dollars

SAD ACCIDENT.-From a reliable source
we have received the particulars Of a sad
accident which occurred near Spring Green
on the 7th. While Daniel, youngest son
John j. Jones, in company with several
other boys, were going to school along the
rail road track, the cars came along, and
as they were going rather SLOW, Daniel and
one Of his companions attempted to jump
on. The other boy succeeded, but Daniel
fell and the cars passed over his right leg
and left foot, breaking the leg and cutting
OF two toes on his left foot. The services
of a physician were Immediately procured,
and his leg was amputated above the knee
and the foot properly dressed. At last
accounts the boy was doing as well as
could be expected.


The above sad termination Of a reckless
undertaking, should be a warning to boys
not to unnecessarily expose themselves to
danger.
