Co., a large and very enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Eaton and vicinity met at the Court House, on the evening of the 15th of Feb. And on motion of T. J. Larsh, Gen Hendricks was chosen Chairman; and on motion of J. B. Stephens, J. M. Brown was appointed Sec relary. The meeting being called to order, the Chairman stated that the object of the meeting was to farther the interest of the said road, and to get an expression of the citizens in regard to the prop er heading for the stock ' books J. H. FOos was called on and ii spoke at length on the prospect of the early completion of the road; he was of the opinion that if the sum of (300,000 in addition to the old stock, (which is esti mated to be -worth the sum of 250,000) could be raised, that that amouut would do the grad ing and bridging, and thus se cure the road beyond a doubt. The Stock Books are headed on condition, that if the amount of 300,000 is not subscribed, then in that case the subscrip tion is not binding on the sub scribers; but should that snm be raised, then said subscription is absolute and collectable- Mr. Foos went on to show the feasi bility and superior inducements that shoald actuate our citizens to subscribe liberally, and put their shonlder to the wheel and help pueh this great work through to completion. Mr. Foos calling for the feeling of the citizens in regard to heading of the stock books Mr. Larsb, Jodge Haines, Morris, Daogher ty, Tizzard, Eidson, Acton, Ste phens, Hendricks, and manyoth er citizens thought that the a- greement between the R. R. Co. and subscribers was just right, and that stock books should im mediately go into the hands of energetic agents for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions. Judge Haines made an excellent speech and which was well timed and right to tho point. On motion of Judge Haines, Q. H. Eidson and J. M. Daugher- ty were appointed agents licit stock. At a late hour a motion, made to adjourn, and carried yond all went home feeling certain that the road would be built to-Uid G. D. HENDRICKS, Chairman. J. M. BROWN, See'y.

Democrat.] THE LOUISVILLE & SANDUSKY RAILROAD. Letter from R. M. J. Cox, Esq. We take the. liberty of pub lishing the following very inter esting letter oh the above sub ject, which was handed us by Dr. Shields. Mr. Cox has had considerable experience in these matters, and his opinions are worthy of attention. Brownstown, Jackson Co. Ind. February 7, 1870. J. T. SHIELDS, M. D., Saymour, Ind. Dear Sir: I see your name in connection with others of your citv advocating the building of a railroad from Brookville, Indi ana, to eevmour, which in my opinion is one of the best moves made since 1 have been in tbe county, and I do hope to live to see Buch an enterprise completed Commencing at Urookville, in Franklin county, Indiaua, the road could be located, most of the way, on the Old Indian Bouodry Line to very near Sev- mour, passing through Southern part of Decatur, Northern part of Ripley and Jennings counties, en tering Jackson county near the .North-east corner or beymour, and should Evansville be made the true terminus, it would pass through the Southern portion of Washington, and through the central portions of Orange, Du bois and Warrick connties,thence to Evansville through a portion of Vauderburg. The line is indicated as an air line, and if built changes could be made to suit or accommodate county seats &c. In looking over the entire sys tem of Indiana railroads, I can see none in my opinion that pre sents so many advantages for a paying investment. The true policy of a road should be to. ac commodate the local trafic; in this case the road would be about N. 53 n est, which is not very far from the direction the streams of water flow, that drain this country. Ihe surl ace of country through which it wonld run is nviting for easy grades and few bridges, the latter being a heavy expense to all roads, tbe country along the line abounds in timber, stone and rich material, so dis triboted to make it independent for material to build; also, it would have the advautage of ev ery road it would cross, to reach tbe Ohio river, or shipments for the.intenor North sc. I have hastily written tbe fore going to simply encourage so audable work having been in my early life connected with the roads first built in Indiana, feel yet an interest, aud like giving an expression to some one, and in this case have troubled you with my scriblicga, hoping .the ball will keep moving in the right direction. Yours truly, R. M. J. COX. A High Estimate. wWtH10,t'ate ,commnd of lan The following estimate of the qualifications of the President and Lis Cabinet, is not flattering: "Grant has demonstrated that a very dull and stupid person may be President, and we all know that he and all his Cabi net haven't an aggregate of brains sufficient to set up a third class local reporter: It ronnrtpir Tf ftrmit write better grammar than be Uses in his message, and had upiflgeY he might get a place on tbe Mnquirer to report races and horse markets; and Hoar, it not too old to learn, might be edu cated up to the qualifications of law reporter. As lor the oth era-, I see no possible use that could be made of them on a first class journal." Give the stock pigs a good warm bed tor the winter, and don't forget to keep them clean by frequent changes of atraw. A cold, damp bed renders them comfortless, and prevonts their growth, it may be, will give them mange aud other diseases that hog flesh is heir to. Feed well, houee well, and bed well; on these three things depend thrifty pigs for next year's fattening The President had a coon and a pair of rabbits presented to him on New Year's day When a gift enterprise gets to running by coon and rabbit power, isn't it time for a new deal? What of fice can a man expect to get on a ring-tailed coon, or a short tailed rabbit? Various petitions are before Congress, praying an amend ment to the constitution, ac knowledging the existence of God as the source of all civil au thority. We don't believe the present Congress is prepared to eutertain any such assumption. Fay us what yon owe us, if you would relieve. a Publisher sadly in need of money. Advice of a Young Lady. Some months siuce, we receiv ed the following from a sensible young lady, with the requeet tbatx we publish it, but being crowded with articles of a simi lar character, it went to our waste basket. Siuce which we have come to the conclusion to give it to our Eaton boys, and urge that they ponder it careful ly. Here is what she says, aud all that you need to know: "Dear gentlemen, between the ages of 'eighteen aud forty-five,' listen to a tew words ot gratui touB remark. When you make a social call of an evening, on a young lady, go away at a reason able hour. Say you come at 8 o'clock, an hour and a half Is cer tainly as long as the most fasci-. nating of you in conversation can, or rather ought, to desire to use his charms. I wo hours, in deed, can be very pleasantly spent with music, chess, or other games, to lend variety; but, kind sirs, by no means stay longer. Make shorter calls and come oft ener. A girl that is a sensible, true-hearted girl will enjoy it better, and really value your ac quaintance more. J ust conceive the agony of a girl who, well knowing the feelings of a father and mother upon the subject, hears the clock strike ten, and yet must sit on the edge of her chair, in mortal terror lest papa should put his oft repeated threat yi executiou that ot coming down and inviting the gentleman to breakfast. And We girls un derstand it all by experience, and know what it is to dread the prognostic of displeasure. In Buch cases a sight of relief generally accompanies the closing of the door behind the gallant, and one don't get over the feeling of trouble till safe in the arms of Morpheus. Even then, some times the dreams are troubled with some phantom of an angry father and distressed (tor all par ties) mother; and all because a young man will make a. longer call than he ought to. JSow, young gentlemen friends, I'll tell you what we girls will do. For an hour and a half we will be most irresistibly charming and fascinating; then, beware, mono syllable responses will be all you need expect. And if, when the limits shall have been passed, a startling query shall be beard coming down stairs : 'Isn't it time to close up ?' you must con sider it a righteous punishment, and, takiug your. hat; meekly de part a sadder, and, it is to be hoped, a wiser man. Do not get angry; but the next time yon come, be careful to keep within boutids. We want to riBe early these pleasant mornings, and im prove tbe 'shining hours;' but when forced to be up at such un reasonable hours at night, ex hausted nature will speak, aud, as a natural consequence, with the utmost Bpeed in dressing, we can barely get aown to oreaKiasi in- time to escape a reprimand from papa, who don't believe in beaux as though ho never was young and a mild, reproving glance from mamma, who un derstands a little better poor daughter's feelings, but still must disapprove outwardly, to keep up appearances.' And uow.young men, think about these things, and don't for pity's sake, don't throw down your paper with a 'pshaw !' but remember the safe side of ten." We never had "nigger-on-the- brain,'' one way or another. We don't take as much stock in the divine African as his professed admirers do, and we see uo reas on why we should. But we have got free trade on the brain. Give us that; div.orce the Govern ment from robbers and jobbers, and we shall patiently wait bless ed consummation which is cer tain to follow. Even now, in full assurance of faith, we are looking for this mighty deliverance. Marietta Times.

Sandusky, Seymour & Louisville Railroad-The Prospect. It has been but a few weeks since our first article appeared urging the importance, practica bility, and necessity, ol making Seymour the terminus of the Sandusky and Louisville Rail road, instead of running direct to the Ohio river at Louisville, without passing near this point Since then, the good work has progressed rapidly aud most fav orably, until to-day, it seeme that our ideas meet with univer sal approbation of all concerned or connected with the old road, and it now only needs the proper efforts on the part of our town and county, to insure the com pletion of a route, that will place our city at once among the first towns of tbe State in point of material wealth, and commercial importance. It has beeu demonstrated be yond tbe possibility of successful contradiction, that the proposed change in the route, running it direct from Brookville, In Frank Iin county, to Seymour, instead of to the river direct, vou!d first of all, make a vast difference iu point of cheapness of construes tion; passing through a section of country where neither high grades nor deep fills would be necessary, and wbere no .wide streams nor dangerous water courses remain to be bridged. Add to this, that the old route would pass through a portion of Southern Indiana -unusually dif ficult throughout, and in places almost impracticable, and the force and importance of this point can be at once seen. It would make a difference of sev eral thousand dollars in every mile. The new route would pass through a deb; undeveloped and populour sectior. of country the local earnings of which, would in a short time contribute large ly toward paying the running expenses of the road. But more important, perhaps than any oth er consideration," is the fact, that it saves the constructing of over 40 miles of road, making a sav ing thereby or near a minion dollars. The Jeffersc mville Rail road company have offered the faeeof their track from Spy moor to Louisvilley if Ihe company make Seymour their ierjninus and have aid beside offered other material It is reported in some portions of the country that sharpers are now traveling about the rural districts buying butter, eggp, poultry, pf fatcners, at high prices, aud paying for the same in well executed counterfeit mon ey.

A common complaint among Radical members. The "Orphan Girl" Represent ative is endeavoring to get a very stringent Liquor Law through the Legislature.

"Spirits of Just Men Made Miserable!" able!" We are happy to inform "all the world and the rest of man kind," that a recent event trans pired in "omt midst," which con clu8ivcly satisfies us that "tbe best government the world ever saw'' is sound to the core, that the National credit will go down to future prosperity in an unim paired condition, and that the nigger should have a vote! It is generally known that a coun try editor has a "hard road to trabbel," and that for his labor he is glad to take anything that will afford either temporal or spiritual sustenance to his soul and body, even unto the prayers of our "free and easy" christians! It was our good fortune, (no, it must be misfortune) to become in fee simple, owner and possess or of one dozen of "London Roy al Nectar Gin," and not feeling ourself "well enough to do" in this world to bask In the joys the article would afford, we conclud ed to expose it for sale in one of our prominent Drug Stores, and thus convert it into Natioual rags, wherewith we might purchase something substantial for the "in ner man,'.' or pay oft a paper bill. But, alas! for human hopes! The manufacturer neglected to plaster the bottles over with the "hang dog" countenance of some Moil" or "honest (?)" official, which fact coming under the'ar- gire eye of the Assessor, he seized the aforesaid liquor, and we are now mourning over tbe loss of "depai ted spirits" which have gone, no doubt, "where the wood- bire twineth." We are a little consoled, however, over our loss, by knowing that we huve contri buted liberally toward liquidia- ting the great "National bless ing, ouch vigilance on the part of officials ot the "best Govern ment the world over saw," should be rewarded with higher honors !

He must be in sensible to the cruelest snubs, and manifest no sense of anger when he is kicked down stairs. He must throw modesty to the dogs, and let the tiger howl. But above all, he must be an adept in the art of puffiing. He must be enthusiastic on tbe subject of hams, verbose in extrolling hard ware, and highly imaginative in the matter of dry goods, he most talk learneuly of programmes with a liberal mixture ot grow ing words, such as "warmth," "foreshortening," "high limits," "perspective," &c.
