A large party was given on Thurs day evening at the residence of Daniel Steenrod, near town, in honor of Mr. J. T.

Henry Welday, an honored citizen of Jefferson County, father of H. C. Welday, of this place, died at his home near Steubenville on the 4th in the 84th year of his age.

About 6 a'clok Saturday morning an express train on the Cen- trail Ohio Divison of the B.

O. Rail road met with an accident near Cam bridge, Ohio, by which several persons were injured. While the train was ap proaching a small bridge a fish-bolt broke, and the last car, a sleeping car, jumped the track, aud striking on one side of the bridge was turned upon its end. The other cars passed "safely over the bridge. There were but few per sons in the sleeping car at the time of the accident, and none of them ere leriously injured.

The wounded pas sengers were taken to Wheeling on Saturday, ana meaical aid was sum moned, and the sufferers made as com fortable as possible. The train was be hind time, and was going at good speed when the accident occurred. RAILROAD MEETING. An impromptu Railroad Meeting was held on Tuesday evening, in the parlor of the SL Clair Hotel, St. Clairsville, Ohio.

The meeting was organized on motion of Rev. Rob. Alexander, by calling Col. James F. Cbarlesworth, to preside, and I.

M. Riley, Sec'y. The object of the meeting was then stated to be, to take some action toward devising ways and means for the con struction of a Railroad from Bellaire to St. Clairsville. Col.

John II. Sullivan and Wm. G. Barnard of Bellaire, being present and interested in the matter, briefly stated their views on thesub- Iject, and their experience in the con- struction of railroads. The construe tion of a road from Bellaire to St.

Clairsville is considered practicable, and would be of almost untold value to the people at either terminus and along the line. Two routes are proposed: One from Bellaire up Indian Run and along the dividing ridge between Mc-Mabon's Creek and Wheeling Creek, to St. Clairsville; the other from Bellaire via. Neff'a Siding on the Central Ohio Railroad, thence up Little Mc-Mahon's Creek and Ault's Run to St. Clairsville.

Either route is considered practicable. A narrow-guage rood (3 feet) meets with the greatest favor.ow-ingto the feet that the construction and working would cost from one-third to one-half less than a affords equal facilities for transportation of freight and passengers. Let us have a Railroad! We can have it if we will. A general meeting of per sons interested will be held in the Court House, on 'luesday evening next, January 19th. Let every one attend, and give expression of his views concerning the mutter.

I The Marriage Record. The following marriage licenses were issued by the Probate since the 2d instant: Geo. Jones and Mrs. Naocy Jumps. Abram L.

Davis and Emily i. an- cum Geo. W. Chandler and Martha E. Hawthorn.

We clip the following item from the last issue of the Barnesville Enterprise, which speaks so well of our young lady friend, Miss Lizzie Neiswanger, daughter of Major I. Neiswanger, of this place. The address referred to was delivered before the Temperance League of Baroesville, on New Year's Eve: Miss Neiswanger, of St. Clairsville, was then introduced as the speaker of the evening, who gave an address of decided ability as a literary composition, and of effective power in its manner of delivery. Possessing a voice of unusual clearness and well modulated in its tone, she cannot fail to interest an audience.

Adding to this, however, a considerable degree of dramatic loree, she rivets the attention at once, and shows herself mistress of the situation. While showing the degrading nnd ruinous character of the rum iraftkV she also showed the insufficiency ot mere human agencies, asi.lt; from ii-i0f vine aid, to suppress it. Philosophers I and poets depict its evils, but religions alone were sufficient to strengthen men and women to wage war against it. Under such Women's Temperance League was inaugurated, and she plead with her sisters to be faithful to their work. The enemy challenges to victory or defeat.

Let us do our duty as inspired by the gospel of Jesus. In the course of the address Miss Neiswanger recited the poem of Little Bessie with remarkable lower, and closed by an eloquent appeal to the mothers of the land to train their children to hate and shun tho evil traffic; the sous to remember who were their mothers, and the fathers to aid the cause, by their coun-elt, benedictions and prayers. a Death- of Mrs. Anna Sunderland. Our community was much sur prised on Sunday morning, to learn that this estimable lady had died sud denly daring the previous night.

But few, except her family ana pnysicmn, knew the dangerous character of the disease with which she has been for sometime afflicted. Mrs. Sunderland had been long and favorably known in our community, as a woman of ym- pathetic character, aiding ana assisting the poor by her means and cotrnsels, and giving liberally of the same to every call for benevolence. To the cause of Foreign Missions she gave a gener ous support, and lriends in far-off In dia will heir with sorrow ot nersuauen decease. The numerous recipients of her favon will unite in blessing her meonory, while to the bereaved and lonely husband the whole community offers its symuathj.

Her funeral was attended on Tuesday afternoon by a large concourse of our citizens. Barnesville Jan. The State Board of Agriculture met in Columbus on Thursday lust. The Board, with the newly elected members, now stands as follows: L. G.

Postmaster General Jewell, has isued the following order to Postmasters throughout the United Stales: "On and uter the first of January, 1875, all printed matter of tho second class destinea for Canada will be (rented as though it were destined for the United States, the arrangement with the Canadian iostnl authorities being that it shall be delivered there free of charge.

He talks of coming up aud giving your village a thrill, and if he does your citizens will have the pleasure of seeing the u.iwt breath-suspending recklessness ever exhibited. Last Friday an old gentleman named James Greenlee, who resided at Pipe Creek, left Bellaire to walk to Bridgeport. He had walked up the C. P. H.

R. as far as the Indian Run, when the 11:10 train was backed up, and he not hearing the many alarms that were made, was run over by one of the coaches. His head was almost totally severed from his body, and his body and limbs were braised and crushed in several places in a most horrible manner. Mr. Greenlee was probably sixty years of age.

He was buried at Shiloh yesterday. For two days past our citizens have been enjoying so far as it was possible for them to do so the coldest weather that it has ever been ours to experi ence, and if we thought it would continue long we would take our summer clothes ana go to ureeniana to spenu the remainder of the winter. We saw a thermometer that said it was 8 below zero, and we heard of one that was 14. When we hoard of that latter one we asked our informer if he ever saw a with both arms and both legs off, carrying his head in his teeth, and he said yes; so you win Know now mucn of his 14 story to believe.

One dealer made 1600 per cent, on his entire crop last season The most reprehensible of the many blameworthy acts of our city officials was their recent aiding ol a woman without character to blackmail a young man. If this was done unknowingly then it was all the more reprehensible thafthe fine was not returned: Under the circumstances no attention whatever should have been paid to her complaints, and if any thing was done it shonld havs been to incarcerate her, or send her away at first, as was finally done. Another proper thing on the part of the most wise and impartial sons of wisdom who enginer the official machinery of our city, was the making and attempt to enforce an ordinance requiring citizens to keep the snow from their pavements. We would suggest to their most potent majesties the propriety of passing an ordinance forbidding Providence to snow at all in Bellaire, under penalty of a heavy fine.

Had there been any possibility of its impartial enforcement the passing of the ordinance would not have been so ludicrous. We would like to ask the council by what prerogative they propose to make their subjects have their bouses decorated in a certain way, by certain painter, at a certain price, all lor a change in the names of thestreets, thing of the most trivial cost, and yet hy their own unparliamentary vote sink a large sum of money in a worthless pile of stones and clay The truth of the whole matter is that Bellaire has no single official in an important posi: tion who is more fit to fill it than an oyster is to till the chair of the Pope at Rome. The state of things is disgusting, and would be ludicrous were it not SNAP. UNIONTOWN. The horses of a Mr.

Parkinson which were left standing in thestreet attached to a carriage, took fright and ran away, keeping cloe to the pavement. Mr. P. was passing down town met them and secured the lines, but they giving way threw him around behind the horses and upon the double-trees, fortunately they brought up against a porch, and with the assistance of Mr. Hugh Ferguson were secured.

Had they continued their flight Mr. P. would soon- have ceased to be a' taxpayer. We are happy to announce that Mrs. Cook has reached her destination in safety having stopped on the way at the house of a relative and notice of the fact failed to reach her friends here.

A pleasant social occasion was the supper given under the supervision of Mr. I. H. McCall and Miss Laura A. Conrow, at the house of Mr.

T. K. Gregory, on Wednesday evening last. The degree of cold indicated here on Sabbath morning was 12 below zero. Water standing upon a stove in which the fire was banked up was frozen solid.

H. Treating the Wrong Disease. Many times women call upon their family phys'cians, one with dyspepsia, another with palpitation, another with trouble of the breast, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves ami their easy-going and indifferent separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to 1ms such, when, in reality, they are all symptoms caused by some uterine disorder; and while they are thus only able perhaps to palliate for a time, they are ignorant of the cause, and encourage their, practice until large bills are made, when the suffering patients are no better in the end, but probably worse for the delay, treatment, and other complications made, and which proper medicine directed to the cause would have entirely removed, thereby instituting health and comfort Instead of prolonged misery.
