Jn'lst week's and this week's American ap-r-eats a cali for a railroad meeting in Brook-tille-ea Saturday next, 15th inst., to consult .aotiidopt measures in regard to the construction of a Railroad from Sandusky City, Ohio, 4o Near Albany, Indiana. The proposed road oiil run through Franklin County, along Temfleton Creek, through Brookville, along Blue rf'reek, and cross the I. C. & L. II. It. somewhere between .Gunman's and Weisburg we believe this is tbe. contemplated route Brooktills being situat-ci on the direct line of the road. As interesting though somewhat lengthy article on the subject of this proposed road will funn.l nr li-.at r. iki. oraL' finntail rum the Eatom (Uiio) .Register. A writer in last week's Brookville .Democrat also briefly discourses on this subject as follows: K.mi.road Projkct Hkvivko. An effort is ibeing made on the Ohio side of tbe State Line 40 revive the project f .constructing, or rallir.of continuing the -construction ot a line of tailrwad from Sanxluay ?Ciiy, by way of Piqua .and .Eaton, Ohio, thros-b the counties of rranKlir), Ivipley , Jefferson, Jackson, L'lark and J-lo) d, in Indiana, to. the Fails of the Ohio. In J':5 survey of ihe route-was made on the Iti.diana side, and it was found to be entirely practicable; so much so, that an organization of a .company was etTeClfil, a. letting made, mid .some cot.t-idcrabie wosk done in the way of grading at the southern terminus in Clark and Floyd Counties. In Ohio this road is finished :to 1'iqua, in Miami County, about seventy aiiles northeast of Urookville, and, we believe, .between Katun and Piqua a portion of the line .has been graded. .There is no estimating the benefits to the jttjple of that portion uf our S'ate through aliicb. .this line pass if cooipleled. It .opens up to us. a trade and direct, communication with both extremes North and South, and At once puts a stop to the monopoly which surfQUiids us .and is crusbiiig oiU.the life-blood of our eojjle iu exorbitant r:es of railroad larifls. N e trust tbat our people will look at this project wuh an ee to business, that meetings auaj be lu-ld along the entire line, and that au earnest tftorl will be made towards the couiaieucemeut and completion of this greal awk.

It contains over five hundred quarto pages, double-column, with sixteen full page photo-lithographs of various Bible scenes; also a metrical versification of the Poetry of the Bible, printed on the best quality of paper, and handsomely and durably bound. Price f 3 75 for library edition. Rev. J. V. Dole, sole agent for Franklin County. This book is an ornament to any parlor, and should be in the possession of every Christian family. "Woolen Factory at Laurel. J. II. Uaidebeck, of Os-good, Kijdey County, proposes to remove his woolen factory to Laurel, provided liberal inducements are offered by the people of that place, lie desires to put up a two-story brick building. 35 by 130 feet. Laurel is a good wool market, and possesses a superior hvdraulic. This factory would employ forty or fifty persons, and would theretore prove a great benefit to the place. We understand Messrs. 15uky & Kerr are ready to donate one thousand dollars to the laudable enterprise. The Laure'ites should see to it that Mr. llardebeck is encouiagcd to locale among them. Blooming (Jrove Items. The meeting in the M. E. Church was continued dating the Week of Prayer, and is jet in progress. There is considerable interest, with five accessions up to this dateOn Thursday evening the ti;h inat., between eight and nine o'clock, a lihl was seen in the North, which was caused by the burning of the Everton school-house. It is a loss that will be fell there. Mr. Dickerson was teaching a very successful school, and will be a loser with others. lie had a clock, cards, mottoes and other furniture that made the room pleasing and attractive. We have not beard how the fire oriiuaied. I see from your correspondent from Metamora that the Masonic Supper and Ha'.l at that place was rather a dark atfair. The ''lights" of Masonry being absent, no doubt was the cause. The Masons of our town who were appointed o;i iW Committee of Managers and selling tickets wish to inform "Milt." and the public generally that their names were used without their knowledge or consent, and that a drunken dance is not in the "ancient charges" of Masonry, nor in any of the "lectures' or even "side degrees," but in direct opposition to its spirit and teaching-. They also think it entirely wron to Use tbe names of persons professing to be governed by the prin ciples of Masonry to a d.uiikeu festival a respectable appearance; and it is their opinion, if such things must be, they should be somewhere else than in a Masonic Lodge loom or an OJ1 Fellows' 11 all. True Masons should speak and act in this matter, and not jwruiil such things iu the name of the fraternity. Weather cold, collections slow, business dull. Jan. Sib, 1S70. 11. We are having quite a revival of religio n in this place, uuder the care of our kind and efficient Pastor, Uro. Mark II. Mulieo.

We are having some very cold weather up here just no, and plenty of snd', which affords the bovs some line sport ih the way of sleigh-riding aud buuiing rabbits.

State Board of Agriculture. Resolutiens war passed by the State Board of Agriculture prebibKing all trials by steam oa the far grounds; making it the duty of the members of the State Board to visit each society ia their respective districts once a year; requesting that the distribution of the forthcoming agricultarat and geological report be made to ths different counties in the State in number proportional to their respective population, throogh the Pres

Railroad Signal. A large party of railroad men, machinists, and practical engineers, went from Cincinnati on a special train of the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad, Friday morning, as far as Delhi, for the purpofe of witnessing, in operation, a new railroad signal, the invention of A. S. Miller, and property of A. S. Miller & Co. It consists of two targets, separate! at the distance of fifteen hundred feet, and connecting by means of a wire. From the trigger of this target projects a sort of clamp, that is placed within two or three inches of the track. The car when reaching this target, touches the clamp, which immediately turns down the target, thus notifying the engineer that there is no approach of another train. If the matter is reversed, the target, from the motions of the car ascending, turns up, thus giving the descending car sufficient time tobackoutof danger. This invention is a good one, and is for the purpose of preventing collisions. It is placed at each end of curves, tunnels and drawbridges. Married. On Thursday morning, 6th inst., by Rev. Or.

At his residence in Bath Township, on the morning of the 25th inst., of typhoid pneumonia, William Elwell, aged about 80 years. From the Iiidi-mipolis Journal. The Pepper Case. The American Lftw Register published at Philadelphia, with an able corps of editors residiug iu different portions of the Union, and having a large circulation among the members of the legal profession, contains in each monthly issue a number of cases presented in full, after the manner of the Reports; ihus furnishing the profession, at a comparatively small cost, much valuable inforinatiou , iu advance of its appearance in regular course, and inthefjrtn most acceptable to the lawyer. Among the leading cases thus introduced, an increasing number have beea se lectcd from tiie adjudications of our Supreme Court, indicating and contributing to the advancing reputation of our highest tribunal. In the November number, now before us, a prominent place is given to the case of Tht State ex t el. JlcCarfy V. Pepper, decided at the May term, 18Gi). of our Supreme Court, and containing an interesting application of the law of estoppel. The i question in this case was first presented to, ! and discussed by, our court on a former) appeal of the same cause, 22 Ind., 3LU). j The relator having been charged, in accor- j dance with the opinion then delivered, though it has since been several times held that in such cases no relator is ncces- j sary, tbe cause was brought again in the Supreme Court by the appellee in the original appeal, and the former opinion overruled, the Court adhering to its ruling in DearJjrf v. F'oresmin, 24 Ind., 431, which is the leading case in this State. In the latter case, the Court laid down the rule tbat, "if a surety signs and delivers to his principal an instrument, perfect upon its face, with a condition that it shall not be delivered to the obligee, payee or grantee, until some other persons who are agreed upon shall execute the same, and the principal delivers the instrument without regard to the condition, and the obligee, payee or grantee has no knowledge of the condition, the delivery will bind the surety." The opinion in the case, written by liny, J., is a very clear and exhaustive examination of principles underlaying the subject, and the authorities pro and con, and was also published in this magazine, vol. 5, (N. S ) 539, and followed by the Supreme Court of Maine, in State vs. Peck, 53 Maine, 234, where not only the line of argument used and the authorities cited by our Court are followed and reiied oti, but also the language of ltay, J., is adopted. The same doctrine is upheld in Kentucky aud Illinois, though it has been otherwise decided in New York. The ruling in the DeardorJ case has been adhered to by our court in Blackwell v. The State, 2G Ind. 2:J4, Wtbbv. Baird, 27 Ind. 3J8, and now in the Pepper case. This an action upon the official bond of the Treasurer of Franklin county, for a failure to pay over money collected for the State as such Treasurer. In the opinion of the court, Hay, J. reviews the authorities since the Deardorf case, and iu a very satisfactory manner put the question beyond all doubt for the future in this State; and, indeed, the reasons adduced are so conclusive that we think no contrary argument will be attempted, nor will any court hereafter venture to put itself on the other side. For the convenience of the members of the bar who may not have access to the Register, we give a brief syllabus of the rulings: "Whenever an act is done or a statement made by a party whieh can not be contradicted or contravened without fraud on his psrt and injury to others whose conduct has been influenced by the act of admission, the character of an estoppel will attach to what would otherwise be mere evidence; the estoppel being limited within such bonds as are sufficient to put those who have dealt on the faith, of appearances that turn out to be incorrect, in the same position with reference to the author of such appearances as if they were true. "When a bond has been signed and delivered to the principal obligor by a surety, upon the condition that the others not named in the instrument shall sign before it is delivered to the obligeo, and it delivered without such signatures being

obtained, and received by the obligee without notice of such condition or circurnstan.

ces which should pur him upon inquiry, the condition imposed will not avail the surety. This is not a question of the power of the principal to deliver the bond in its apparently perfect condition, but simply a question of estoppel. "The principal obligor in a County Treasurer's official bond is not the agent of the Hoard of County Commissioners (whose duty it is to approve the bond) in procuring its execution. "A surety signing and delivering to the principal obligor for delivery to the obligee a bond, before the names of the sureties have been inserted in the body of the instrument, will be held as agreeing that the blank for such names may be filled after he has executed it. A surety signed a County Treasurer' official bond after the signatures of other sureties, without reading it, or hearing it read, or asking what it was, on being told by the principal that it was a county paper and requested by him to sign it. "Ilettl, that such surety was not released by the fact that one of the signatures before his was forged."
