Falrfleld Sewing Circle. We had the pleasure of attending the supper given on Friday evening last by the Methodist Sewing Circle at Fairfield. It was one of the best suppers we have ever seen, and served up in good order, by the same hands that had prepared it

in all its details. Everything passed off

I.adios Hepowltory.

We have before us the August No. of

iliia nnnnlar reriodical: Mr. Clarke,

the editor is building P for himself a j pleasantly, and the proceeds of the Bup-

reputation as one of the best writers. And what is better in an editor, he has

good taste and judgment in hie selection of articles. We copy an article from it to day, by "Ronald," a name familiar to some of our readers. We presume in this Autobiography some of the poetical correspondents of the American can gee a fine sketch of their trials and experience. Trmperniicr t'aiiipmertingr. There is to be a grand Temperance Mass Meeting near Metainora, on the 10th and 11th of August. Several distinguished Speakers are expected, whose names will be announced in due time. The grove near Mr. Gordon's has been selected as the place.

per and sales of articles amounted to

about 100 very well for a village of

that size. " - , We know not all the ladies who have taken an active part in getting up and in

sustaining this useful and interesting so-

cietv, but we saw such ladies active,

as would insure success and respecta

bility to any enterprize. We wish we

! had their names, but among them we no

ticed Mrs. W. W. Hibber, Mrs. Wm.

Johnson, Mrs. Powers, Mrs. Dubois,

Mrs. Masters, &c

The proceeds of the supper, &.C., is to be appropriated to fitting up the Church

and furnishing the sabbath school

If we had been offered a fair opportunity on that occasion, we would have

made to the circle about the following

speech:

efforts in sustaining a sewing circle in your beautiful village. And we want no better evidence of your social virtues and domestic qualities than the richness, the arrangement, and appropriateness of

the supper you have offered your friends

Cincinnati commercial. Again lias tl.is establishment suffered the loss of its principal editor. Mr. Lee,

a man of fine talents, was obtained to succeed 3Ir. Curtis. But death has soon claimed him too. He died suddenly last week. At Counorsville. The son ot the Rev. Lemuel Ree ves

was taken sick on Tuesday last, and died this even;ng. It 6peakB plainly that

on Friday. He was a fine youth, about 14 years of age, and a member of the Cadets of Temperance. The cadets attended his funeral, and are now wearing the usual badges of mourning. It is gratifying to witness the youth of that place paying tiie last tribute of respect to tin m ;-n ry of a diseased brother. The Temperance cause cannot but progress when the boys are interested. 05"Cobcrs Murkt, Esq. has been appointed Administration of the estate of Geo. G. Slioup, deceased. This is a

heavy estate to settw and is mixed up

matter the sewing circle does good. It shows who are the locomotives and who

are ballast.

Then we would recommend to you, and

to all other towis,to continue these so

cial circles meet and talk sense ban

ish secret scandal by knowing each oth-

er appropriate the proceeds of your labors to useful purposes, and look upon

the croaiers, as you do upon the buzrarde.as very filthy birds, but very useful

in their places. Let us, ladies and gentlemen, be a little more sociable break

down the distinctions that property makes

and let true merit be the standard.

Those who are exalted in their own estimation, let them be invited to come down to the common level, while those in honest poverty can and should be raised to where their talenls and virtues will sustain them. And this can be done no where so well as in the social circle and this can no way be as well and as profitably established as in the sewing circle. The foregoing remarks, if we had made them, would have been applicable to more latitudes than Fairfield.

Cln. Indianapolis and irhlcaaro. It is known to the citizens of this Valley that there have been two organizations to build a Rail Road from Cincinnati to Indianapolis along the White Water Valley. The question dividing the two parties was whether the Road should be made by way of Laurel, or di rect through from Metamora to Rush-

ville. These difficulties have, however, been reconciled by both parties agreeing

the Engineer. Tint the Road is to be .made on the nearest, best and cheapest

route and all are to unite o n it. The Engineers are now on the line, with an efficient corps. In the meantime the friends of the Road are active. The first organization that was gotten up was somewhat deficient ns it made no provision for a branch to Chicago. On Monday last a company was finally organized on the right principle, to build this road. An efficient board of Directors was elected, and the best men in our Valley put at the head of the work. The following Directors were elected at this place on Monday, to wit: A. W. Hubbard, of Rushville. A. J. Ross, of AndersonvUle. J. G. Banes, of Metamora.

Or. Gordon, do A. N. Blackledge, do Geo. Holland, Brookville. Wm. M M'Carty, do J. D. Howland, do Walter S. Baker, do B. H. Burton, do

Immediately after the election, the New Board of Directors convened and

proceeded to the election of permanent

officers, which resulted as follows: GEO. HOLLAND, President JOHN WYNN, Secretary. B. H. BURTON, Treasurer.

At this stage of the proceedings Mr.

Wm. M. M'Carty handed in his resigna

though that State has been badly gerry

Congressional districts, we think the

probably be re-elected from his district.

In Missouri parties are very much '

mixed, the Democrats, especially, being j in a chaotic state divided into two bitter 1

and implacable factions, known as "Ben- 1 ton" and "Anti-Benton," and notwith-! standing the districts are strongly Dem- j ocratic, we should not be surprised if i one, and perhaps both, returned opposi-;

tion members. Unless the Democrats in Missouri can arrange and settle their 1 difficulties the State will become perma-' nently Whig in its character, although ; it has been hitherto very strongly Dem- i ocratic. These elections are not of any impor-' tance so far as the next House of Representatives is concerned, it being well settled already that that body will be , Democratic by more than two to one.

While we are waiting for a more full detail of the late commencement exercises, we copy the following extract of a private letter, to wit: I arrived at home from Greencastle yesterday morning. Things went off finely at the University. We elected

Hon. S. W. Parker President ot the Board of Trustees. He evinced a great

deal of interest in the affairs of the University, and expressed himself highly gratified with tho state of affairs. We created a chair of German Language and Literature, and elected Dr. Nast of Cincinnati to fill it. He addressed us a

communication on the subject and it is thought he will accept.

cure funds for the erection of the new

building. He is legislated off from his district I

We learn that the Directors of the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad company, at their meet.ng on Saturday, placed under contract the three divisions of their road for which proposals were received up to the 15th inst. at the Engineer's offices at Cincinnati, Wheeling and Marietta. The competition was very great and

the bidding close! All the work was let at prices below the estimates of the Engineer As an example of the closeness ol the biddings, we are informed that on one of the divisions there was not a difference of 50 between three of the bids. On the 7th division there were six bids not varying 5 per cent, in their aggregates. The successful bidders are Messrs. DeGraff, Brintnall, Bradley & Co., for the western division of nineteen sections

between Millord and Blanchester. The work to be completed in one year.

To Messrs. Bradley, Whittemore &.

Co.,ot ermont, was awarded the eurhth

Division of thirty-two sections, being the work nearest the city of Wheeling

This Division to be completed the first

ot September, 1854.

The seventh Division of forty sections

being the residue of the road from Whee

ling to Milford (near Cincinnati) has been placed under contract, and in about a year the completion of the road is expected. The energy, experience and high character of the respective firms to whom the recent contracts have been awarded, is a 6ure guaranty of early and satisfactory accomplishment of the undertaking. The great value .and importance of the successful consummation of this prominent work, to Cincinnati, is incalculable. For a long while aye, for years the erection of a railroad through the mountainous territory, which this road will pass was delayed owing to the prejudices of capitalists inexperienced in

railroad eujrineering. But we have sat

isfaction now in fetating that the energy and enterprise ot the successful bidders for the contractors, warrant that we, in Cincinnati, will be shortly able to leave here in the morning and dine the same day in Marietta. Cin. Enq.
