MAN KILLED.-An Irish laborer, about
30 years of age, named MICHAEL CoLMAN,
came to his death in this place on Saturday
last in the most distressing manner. He was
engaged in the quarry, and at the time was
standing directly under the bank, on which
some men were engaged in digging around
an old stump. Suddenly the latter gave
away and was precipitated upon the unfor-
tunate man. almost completely crushing him.

body otherwise most horribly mutiIated.-

rything done that sym athising friencs could
do, to alleviate his suferings. He lived only

NUMBER OF GOLD DrGGERs.-We learn
from the National IntelIgencer, in an official
report to the War Department on the civil
affairs of California, Gen. Riley estimates the
number of persons actually employed in Dig
ging for gold at ten thousand. while the
number of persons engaged in other employ-
ments at the placer would greatly increase
that amount The report in question will
probably accompany the message of the
President and be found to contain much valu-
able information.

ON Crossing the AIIeghanies.

The broad, the bright, the glorious West,
Is spread before me nowI
Where the gray mists ofmorning rest
Beneath yon mountains browl
The bound is past-the goal is won
The region OF the setting sun
Is open to my view.
Land of the valiant and the free
My own Green Mountain land, to thee.
And thine, a long adieu!
hail thee, Valley of the West,
For what thou yet shall be!
l hail thee for the hopes that rest
Upon thy destiny!
Here-from this mountain height, Isee
Thy bright waves floating to the sea,
Thine emerald fields outspread,
And feel that in the book of fame,
Proudly shall thy recorded name
In later days be read.
Yet, while gaze upon thee now,
All glorious as 'hOu art,
A cloud is resting on my brow,
A weight upon my heart.
To me-ln all thy youthful pride
Thou art land of cares untried,
OF untold hopes and fears.
Thou art-yet not for thee grieve,.
But for the far-off land | leave
look on thee with tears.
O! brightly, brightly, glow thy Skies,
In summers sunny hours!
The green earth seems a paradise.
Arrayed in summer flowers (!
But oh there is land altar,
Whose skies To me are brighter far,
Along the Atlantic shore
For eyes beneath theil radiant shrine.
In kindlier glances answered mine
Can these their light restore
Upon the lofty bound stand,
That parts the East and West;
Before ne-lies fairy land;
Behind home of rest!
Here hope her wild enchantment filings,
Portrays all bright and lovely things,
My footsteps to allure
But there, in memory's light, see
All that was once most dear to me
My young hearts cynosure!

patrons of the best kind. We have always
found that those subscribers who are in the
habit of paying in advance for their papers,

six subscribers find fault with paper, you
may rest assured five Of them have not paid

PIanlK Roads.

IPThe tolls on the six miles of Plank
Road already completed between Lafayette
and Charlottesville. amount to about fifteen
dollars per day; afording handsome profit
on the original investment.
Lafayette Journal.
This illustrates how groundIess are the
fears Of those who are 10th to take hold of
these Improvements from doubt of their flu
ture benefit or profit. From what we know
of Plank Roads, they appear to command
trade and travel in a shorter time and pay
better profit, than any other kind of road
costing anything Ike the same for building
A Plank Road from this place to almost any
town in the country, would pay, we have no
doubt, handsome dividend the first year af
ter completion. They are always popular
with the farmers, and we'll patronised by
them. We think many of our towns in the
interior which are struggling to get stock ia
ken in proposed Railroads to different points,
would find it good policy to change their OBJ
ject into the building of Plank Roads, as there
are but few communities too poor to success
fully push forward Plank Roads, while they
may not for years be able to build Railroads.
Ifyou can, build Railroads-ifyou can't, then
let Plank Roads build you up till you are
able.

Fatal accident on the iSandusky Railroad
"A cow was caught up by the catcher of a
locomotive on the re ilroad eight or ten days
ago, two or three miles north of Bellefontaine,
at night, which was so heavy as to bend the
irons so that they ran into the cross-timbers,
tearing them up for a considerable distance
The locomotive was then thrown off the
track, and precipitated down an embankment
where it turned over, and broke off the brass
dome on the boiler. This permitted the
steam to escape, by which one of the pas
