RAIL ROAD REPORT.

Below we give extracts from the report of
House of Representatives,, the resolution TO
inquire into the expediency Of constructing
a Rail Road from Po,osi, on the Mississippi
to Lake Michigan:
"Po,osi one OF the proposed western ter
minus Of the route; is situated on the Missls-
sippi river, between the points at which Grant
end Platte rivers unite with that stream. and at
the mouth Of q small river which rises about
three miles from the Mississippi near the sum
nit of ridge which divides the waters Of the
Platte from those Of the Mississippi, and
which is a continuation Of the ridge dividing
the waters Of the Platte and Grant rivers A
rail road, in commencing at PoIosi, could by
following the course Of this Tl ascend 10 the
summit Of this ridge without a greater ascent
than could at all times he overcome by the OF
binary locomotive power. and the eIeya!'on It
is believed would not al any part OF that as
cent exceed seventy feel in mile, and most
of the way not more than twenty. After this
ascent is overcome and the elevation Of The
ridge attained, TWO routes present themselves
from this point 10 the head waters Of Sugar
river, distance in direct line Of abou! nifty
five miles, bU; which on the rack Of the road
By either route would be increased 10 siKiy-iive
or seventy. The one ofIhe Two routes would
follow in a northery direction, the ridge before
alluded TO, dividing the waters Of Platte and
Grant rivers, 10 its intersection at'he Fennl.
more Grove in town six range two west, with
the main dividing ridge which divide the wa
lers that flow into The Wisconsin from those
which flow into the Platte, Pekatonics, and
Smear rivers. and thence after iniersectlng the
main ridge it would follow II in an easterly d.
r.c,ion a distance Of about fifty mics TO the
head waters Of Sugar rsveT in range seven east.
The other Of The TWO routes, after ascending
the ridge first alluded to, would Immediately
leave it and ascend to the Big Platte. by the
valley of one offs small tributaries, and soon
after crossing that stream, by following the
conrse Of small stream that enpties into II on
lis left bank. ascend the ridge that divides the
Big and Lille Platte. and thence by one Of its
tributaries 10 the Lille Platte river. aud fol-
low up that valley Of thai stream to The mouth
of the creek that has its source near the village
Of Platieville, thence up the valley Of that
creek passing near Plauevilie 10 its source al
the Platte Mounds, thence passing south Of
those mounds 10 the head Of ere Of the i1bu-
taries Of the Pekaionica called Beaver 5
Branch, and down the valley Of that branch 10
It's junction with the Pskaionics. thence up
that river 10 It's forks at New Baltimore. and
Cd the east fork as far as the mouth Of the FIRST
creek which discharges into the lefi bank, and

THE WRONG LEG.

7
The celebrated DR.. Abernethy, in
one Of his lectures, used to tella curious
story of an insane person having hum
plugged his surgeons. In attempting to
get over wall, he fell, and the result
was compound fracture ofhis right
| leg; the bone projected little through
the skin;-the opening was enlarged
and the bone reduced. The fracture
was secured first by a tailed bandage,
then by splints, the wound carefully
closed by plasters, and the surgeons who
had the management Of the case went
away, consoling themselves with the
nice opposition Of the bones. The man
paid particular attention to the manner
i'll which they applied apparatus, and as
soon as they were gone, be took it into
his head to remove the bandage and
splints from the injured leg and set
them on the other. He discovered a
hole in the feather bed on which he
was lying, ard thrust his fractured leg
into the middle of it. When the sur
geons arrived on the following day,
they were much pleased with the look
of the limb. They said, elbow straight
it lies! it appears not 10 have shifted in
the least fromth position in which we
placed il; what little swelling there is!
indeed there is scarcel y any," and SO on.
They thought it would turn out an ex-
cellent case.
They came from time to time TO see
the patient, and finding every thing 60
ing on SO favorable, they did not disturb
the limb. After the usual period had
elapsed in which such fracture is sup
posed to unite, they took off the splihts
to examine it. They were quite sur
prised to see how straig the leg was;
and asto the wound in the integuments,
it had closed SO nicely, that they could
not even find the scar. Well this is
very extraordinary! But said aperson
present, sis this the leg that was bro
ken?" Broken! certainly, yes
Could it be supposed that the splints
were put on the wrong leg2" How
ever, they thought they might as well
look at the other, but it was not TO be
found. After some search it was dis
coverd buried in the feathers, and when
they pulled it out it was crooked e.
nough, with large bunch of feathers,
sticking into the leg, like cockatoo;
yet the wound had healed and the bone

THE ANGELS WING.
BY w. TAPPAN

There is German tradition. that when {
sudden silence takes place in company, al
angel, at that moment takes circuit among
them, and the first person who breaks the 81
ence is supposed to have been touched by TIT
wing of the passing seraph.
And WHY should wisdom smile al this!
Are not these perfect beings nigh.
To witness and TO share our bliss.
To hear and hush the secret sigh!
Yes, they may heavens solace bring;
Then scorn not thou the angels wing.
Thou who alone myself dost deem,
A solitary in thy grief
List. soft as football of dream;
Comes one to bear thee sweet relief:
And fled is all thy boarded care
The passing seraph's wing is there!
Oh, have paused space, as'twere,
Bewildering thoughts to gather up
To put aside the draughI of care
And taste of minds exalted cup;
Nor know what DER my soul could bring
Such calmn.ss as the seraph's wing.
When brooding tempests caused me shame,
And in its company Of sin
My spirit sat-the angel came
And swep; with wings the heart wilhin,-
A moment made It's circuit there,
And broke my silence into prayer.
knelt beside my precious boy,
Who went a. childhood's fairy time
My hope, my life, my beings joy
From this to loves unclouded cline;
And while around wept plying men,
joyed-the angel touched me then.
And oh, when at my own last honr
The world recedes and folIes fly,
Then near me with supporting power
Be some kind herald of the sky,
Who. while Of victory sing,
Shall bear me on its heavenward wing.

DEATH OF COL. CROCKETT.

DEh IL Of COL. CROChE i.
Taken from pamphlet just issued
from the press, entitled, the Fall of the
Alamo, or last days of Crockett"
Colonel Crockett, wounded and
closely pursued by anumbcr of the en-
emv, retreated into the church telling
them as they approached. He station
ed himself in niche, in the corner,
determined TO face the foe TO the last,
and sell his life dearly, and with his ia
vorite rifle and superabundance Of
side-arms, he hewed and shot them
down with the same awful certainty
which was wont to characterize his in
domitable spirit. His position rem
dered access TO him utterly impossible,
except by direct and exposed approach
in front; and after some eight or ten
of them were laid dead before him a
feeling of awe seemed to seize hold Of
the assailants. One ofthem, who could
speak little broken English probably,
prefering TO have the signal honor of
capturing so noble specimen of Amer
lean valor, TO present his "dread mas
ter" said to Crockett Surrender senor.'
A flash ofthe most sovereign scorn dar-
ted from his fiery eye, and as it pierced
that of the enemy, he seemed TO be
transfxed. In a voice of thunder
Crockett answered -Surrender! Mo!
am an American!'and as he spoke he
sent ball through the heart ofthe par
allied foe. He appeared for the mo-
ment like woundedtiger, strens thened
and buoyed by each additional wound
now hewing them down with his we'll
tried sword-next dealing death with
his firearms. His person was literally
drenched with his own blood; his
strength must soon yield TO IFS loss. :
Yet such physical power, wrought 10
the highest degree of excitement, can
perform incredible prodigies. This
was the last concentrated energy Of a
powerful man aroused, animated and
guided by one of the noblest attributes
of man-love ofliberty. He knew for
( what Ills IiiC w % dOOul " DG SdCtIiICEi
thatdevastation and butchery would fol,
low the footsteps of his hcartless foes;
that helpless women would be made a
sacrifice TO the lust of the conquerer;
Feeling the holy inspiration of a dying
patriot he fought manfully till the loss
of blood and approach of death stayed
his appraised arm: his rife was broken
to pieces, his pistols fell 10 the fioor, and
nothing but his faithful sword was left
/ In this corner Of the church there were
TwExrY-sIx dead Mexicans, aud no
other American having fought or fallen
at that point, it is considered beyond
all reasonable doubt thals all of them fell
by the hands of Tennessee's favorlte
son, All were now dead. Not man
left TO relate the wonderful deeds ofthi:
/ ilIustrious band of heroes! Not com
patriot left TO rear monument 10 :heir
memory! But ah! no monument is re.

IT IS EASY TO BE MISTAKEN
Charity is a Christian grace and virtue.
We need its exercise, and should be
careful how we treat those who may
not agree with US in all things. THERE'S
much ofevl in the disposition TO SLAM
der and traducc the character OF others.
We ought not TO give heed to tales that
Willy and abuse a neighbor. 1t is easy
TO be mistaken. 1t may be tina, no such
thing as is alleged against him has ever
been done, and innocence may be
where guilt is imputed.
ltisgodllke 10 awaken JOY and relieve
distress here there can be no mistake
Opportunities are frequent whereby we
may assist and benefit a fellow being.
To produce smiles and gladness, instead
Of weeping and sorrow,is certainly
Christian act. How greatly do wc err,

injury. We ought not, as we often do,
seek TO devour one another. If we
would reflect credit upon ourselvese,
and confer honor upon humanity, we
must be charitable and forg.yi0g.
Relieved as society is, in such great
measure, from the dreadful evil and
curse OF intemperance, and enjoying as
we now do, exemption from ono OF The
most injurious practices that ever obtain
led among men, il seems TO be our duty
more than ever to aim at high STAN
dard Of moral excellence. Not only
should we speak no evil to one another
but we shonld endeavor TO do good TO
all. The means OF usefulness we arc fur.
nished with, the objects upon which
they may be brought to bear, and upon
which good may be produced, do con
,tanily surround US. Let US, Their efore
