GaIena & Chicago Union Rail Road
Notice.
About $25o,o00 have been subscribed to
the stock of this company.
The Board have ordered the immediate
construction and completion of the Road
from Chicago to the Fox river, provided the
further sum of $4,000 (naking total of
s400,000,) shall be subscribed for that pur-
pose, and provided the stockholders gener-
ally shall approve such construction.
If the further sum of $l50,000 shall be
added to the subscription list within the next
twenty or thirty days, a first rate Road may
be completed and in operation to the Fox
river in September next, (unless possibly a
scarcity of iron should delay,) without, as
il is now believed, calling in over fifty per
cent of the stock subscribed within the first
year from the opening of the books for sub
scription the balance to be paid in the
course of the succeeding year.
The construction aotr of this portion of
the Road, by the efforts of our own citizens,
to be owned and controlled by them, will, in
the opinion of wise moneyed Railroad men at
the east, friendly to our undertaking, estab-
lish greater degree of confidence in the
substantial character of the people of North
ern Illinois, and ensure to them the compile
ton of their entire Road to Galena, with
extensions to the south and branches to the
north, at an earlier day than any other step
which can now be taken by them.
With a portion of the Road once COM
pleted, and in successful operation, and pay
ing large dividends as it is sure TO do, the
difficulties now in the way of obtaining for
eign aid to a new and untried object will be
obviated, and the necessary assistance can
then be readily obtained for the extension of
an existing Road with an ascertained favor
able result.
BY the arrangement now completed for
the immediate construction of the Road from
New Buffalo, (the western terminus of the
Michigan Central Rail Road, around the
lake to Chicago, all the funds are promised
at the east, with the exception of some $780,
600, which will probably be obtained with
out encroaching in any degree upon the sub
scriptions made here or elsewhere for the
Road from Chicago to Galena.

TRorTISG AGAINST TIME.-The feat of
trottlng 100 miles in ten consecutive hours
was not accomplished yesterday by Albany
Girl, owing, it is said, TO bad management,
IN taxing her powers too heavily towards the
close. The first fifty miles was done in four
hours and thlrty-seven minutes, and the
mare appeared as fresh as at the start. At
the esd mile. her owner thought she could
go the distance in nine hours, and her pace
was increased, but after going the following
seven miles within the half hour, she failed
and having accomplished ninety
seven miles and about one third. came to a
stand still, having then half an hour left to
win.--N. y. Mirror.

MosT ATRocIoUs MURDER.-Our citizens
were startled day or two since by the
discovery of most diaboIical murder which
had been committed in the county. The
circumstances as we get them, are these
On Thursday, the 18th instant, German
named Charles Kohlman residing at Clark's
Corners, diane P. o., sixteen miles north
west of Madison, left home with the inten-
ton of going to Milwaukee to buy wagon.
He took along yoke of oxen, and had about
his person about $40 in foreign gold coin.
The oxen returned home in the afternoon of
the day of his departure, and suspicion was
at once aroused that he had been murdered.
A search was instituted and kept up, until
last Tuesday about noon, when his body was
found in clump Of bushes, about six rods
from the road, and mile and a half from
home. He had been shot through the arm
and neck, his throat cut, and the money
gone. From the appearance of things, it
appears that after the preparation of the
h0l-rid deed, the murderer had deliberately
united rope attached to the oxen, tied it
round the murdered mans feet, hitched it in
the chain, and very coolly dragged the body
to the spot where it was found.
Several circumstances served TO fasten
suspicion upon one Jacob Gross, a French
man, residing in the neighborhood. He was
arrested, searched, and the money of Kohl
man found in his trunks, with the KEYS in
has possession. We are informed that he
has since made confessions which leaves 30
doubt of his guilt. He now lies in our Jail
awaiting his trial.--.Hadison Argus.

ANOTHER FIRE.--Last night between ten
and eleven o'clock, that fearful monosyllahle
which no familiarity can divest of its terror,
rang through the streets. The engines were
promptly unhoused, manned and on the spot.
The fire originated in small shop used by
carpenters, in the vicinity of ship yard, and
the building was consumed. This was I'M
questionably the work of some graceless
scoundrel. Chicago Tribune.
