PLANK ROADTO EVANSVILLE.

The Plank Road from this city to Water
town and Madison, is now fairly under way
and will, we trust, be rushed vigorously for
ward to completion. 1t will be of immense
importance to the business of our city, and,
as mere pecuniary investment, will prove,w we
think abundantly profitable. There is anoth-
er road, for which charter has been obtained,
and for which the necessity is imperious.-
We refer to the contemplated Plank Road
from this city to GAINESVILLE. The route pas
ses through a most fertile and well populated
region, and holds out at least as great induce
ments to capitalists and enterprising men, as
the Watertown road. AS yet no very active
or very successful measures have been taken
to urge forward its improvement. Yet it only
needs the proper start, to go ahead rapidly and
surely. We know of individuals in this city
who stand ready to subscribe, or procure sub
scriptions for this stock, to the amount of $50
900. They are men who have felt most sem
sibly the loss of trade to our city for the last
three months in consequence of an unusually
inclementse season and almost impossible roads.
They have seen, as every man engaged In
business here must have seen, that unless our
lines of communication with the interior are
made practicable at all seasons and in all wealth
ers, trade must anguish, real estate depTecI-
ate, industry lack employment, and the growth
and prosperity of our city suffer severe check.
Hence their readiness to contribute literally
towards the prosecution Of an enterprise which
they feel to be essential to their own, and to
the general welfare. We ask, then, of the Di-
rectors of the Milwaukee and Janesville Plank
Road Company, the election being over, that
they take Immediate and effective steps to get
this enterprise under way. And if, by rea-
son of other engagements, they are precluded
from giving their time and attention to the
work, let them select suitable Agent and de-
volve the duty upon him. We repeat that with
proper efforts and under right auspicies, no
difficulty will be found in obtiining sufficient
subscriptions to the road to ensure It's speedy
completion.-Sentfnek.

Assembly, and given a majority Of 81 FOR

THRILLING INCIDENT AT THE
MENAGERIE

Noble gaLlantry of the Lion.-On Thursday
of last week, during the heavy storm of wind
and rain, while the extensive collection of
wild beasts In the menagerle of Messfs. Ray
mond and Warning were in the village of Nor
walk, Conn feature was introduced in the
exhibition not previously announced In the
bills. About four In the afternoon VIOLENT
gust of wind blew down the canvass which
forms the pavilion, completely enveloping the
spectators and cages of animals in COM
mon mass of confusion. The accident hap
pened at the time when Miss Adelina, the Lii
on Queen as she is styled, was performing in
the den of the wild beast, and as the fright of
the animals rendered them seemingly uncon-
trolable, great fears were entertained for the
safety of that interesting young lady. Atthis
moment scene of indescribable terror and
confusion presented itself. The roaring of
the terrified beasts, the screams ofwomen and
| children and the 'pelting ofthe pitiless storm
without, rendered the scene truly appalling.
The panic, however, was momentary, as the
prompt and energetic measures taken by the
managers soon cleared the wreck, no person
received the slightest injury.
But the most intensely interesting incident
remains to be told. The uproar among the
Lions, Tigers and Leopards in the performing
cage, gave rise to report that they were de-
vouring Miss Adelina. In the next instant
the canvass was striped from the cage, when
a tableaux presented itself such as would de-
.fy either poet, painter or sculptor to portray
with accuracy. In the centre of the den
young and beautiful Lion, (the same recently
presented to Gen. Carr, by the Emperor of
Morocco,) In rampant position, formed the
strong feature of the picture; beneath one of
his hind feet lay stretched the dead body of
leopard and struggling 1Uithin the inUincible
grasp Of has fore patos acere the tiger and sur
UiUing leopard. In the opposite end of the
cage, transfxed as a statue of marble, with
dauntless eye and majestic attitude. the same
as when she commands the wild beasts to
crouch at her feet, stood the Lion Queen, Miss
Adelina. The young lady states thatthe two
leopards and the tiger made a simultaneous
spring at her at the moment the canvass was
blown down, and where repulsed by the noble
gallantry of the Lion, who bounded between
them, and protected her in the manner desert
bed. The presence of the keeper Mr.. Pierce,
soon reduced the savage group to subsection,
and the Lion Queen was happily relieved from
her dangerous situation.-NeU Haven Pala-

various capacities were sent to Mexico du-
ring the war, and that the lives of not less
than 80, 600 have been lost, either by sickness
or in battle. The ruin of character, morals,

estimated. The newspapers continually an
nounce the death of returned volunteers, some
form diseases contracted in the camp, others
from intemperance, and some from suicide.

speediest, most popular, and only generally
admitted positive cure for coughs, colds, in
fuenza, difficulty of breathing, hoarseness,
soreness of the chest, tickling in the throat,
&C., is Clickener's Sugar-Coated Vegetable
Purgative Pills. They afford almost imme-
date relief; and the most eminent OF the fac
ulty recommend them exclusively in these dis
eases. To enhance their value, being coated
with sugar, they have no taste whatever of
medicine, so that child can take them as ca
sly as peppermint drops; and then again they
produce not the slightest sensation of grippe or
nausea. In short they are SO much superior
to any other known medicine that single tri-
al will make any person patron of them for
life; and so assured is the proprietor of this,
and SO confident in their never-failing virtues,
that he will Immediately return the money
paid for them in all cases where they do not
give the most unlimited satisfaction.
