that the constitution of the State of Indiana was
adopted on the 18th June, 1916"

question in the case was, whether the defendant
could hold the negroes as'slaves under the tfea-

the Constitution OF the United States, i'll spite of

he should do all he could to preserve the Union,
but that when force should be necessary to lnain-

RAILROADS EAST.

The following letter appears in the N
w. Advertiser. II is dated from the Office
Of the Lafayette and indianapolis Railroad
Company, on the 18th u!t. 1t will show
the people concerned in the Rock Island
and Lasalle Railroad with what interest
the success Of this work is regarded by those
persons identified with the Railroads east
Of its terminus:-
NIB OSBORN, Esq IL. Il. Sullivan. Esq, 81
GAINESVILLE, has acquainted me with the extent
and recent efforts made in your neghborhood Tor
railroad connexion between Rock Island and
Peru, and Of the desire OF your people TO form an
extended connection with some Of the lines
through central Indiana, and has advised me to
CORES pond with you on the subject. CINCINNATI
or Madison, indianapolis, Lafayette, Peru, and
Rock Island form points in line almost straight
that will connect the upper Mississippi with the
great manufacturing towns on the Ohio. ~
di ection favorable for trade and travel. What
ever outlets you may have by way Of Chicago TO the
Atlantic cities, you need connexion with Gin
cinna'i and Pittsburg. For hafa century at least,
if not forever, those ,it,es can manufacture ior
the North West, the more costly articles OF use
and luxury upon better terms than any city OF the
east II will be bnt short lime until Clncinnall

more southern Atlantic border, both at Charleston
and Norfolk Such line as yours, extended
across our Wabash canal and river, running in the
course of trade, and tapping at proper Intervals
and at advantageous points the navigable waters,
nav boldly be put in competition with the long
midland routes from st. Louis, running due east,
whi h must depend mainly upon travel, an element
which no single road in this level country can
expect TO engross.
We are pushing with all the yigor that an east
ern company can command our Road from Lafa-
cite and indianapolis. The grade is now finished
from Lafayette to Lebanon (33 miles) bridges
nearly built, and The Directors confidentiaIly ex-
pect to place the cars on this division next fall
In the meantime the road bed will be preparing
between Lebanon TO indianapolis (26 miles 1t
is our expectation to Law the heaviest fiat rail
rather than submit to raise money by paying 90
per cent. premium to the brokers. Our grade
from Lafayette Depot to Indianapolis Depot, in
Guiding all the bridges, costs only 50 400 per
mile, and we are confident that our road when
finished to indianapolis, will yield gross revenue
of SO per cent, on our capital. What then must
the whole line do, when completed from Madison
to Cincinnati to the Illinois and Mississippi riv-
ers?
We contemplate, Of course, connexion With
Lake Michigan, but as the point will be Mchi-
gan City, this line and yours can hardly be rivals
We cannot but feel lively interest in the sue
cess Of your enterprises and shall be glad tn hear

ACRAsH.-About 8 o'clock last Sunday
evening, the ceiling Of the Reformed Dutch
church, (Rev. Dr. Beihune's) in Henry ST.,
Brooklyn, fell with tremendous crash,
breaking the front of the gallery on both
sides OF the house, and crushing a large
number ofthe pews. The report was heard
for several squares around, but strange Ia
say, no one suspectedthe real cause. Some
attributed il to the firing ofa cannon, while
those living in the immediate vicinity, whose
crockery ratified in their cuphoards, thought
it was the shock Of an earthquake. The
sexton did not visit the church on Monday,
but on Tuesday morning, upon entering as
usual, the scene which presented itself beg

been built but ten years. and was supposed
to be perfectly sound; but the ceiling conld
never have been properly secured. The
immediate cause Of the present detection
was undoubtedly the partial fracture and
settling Of one ofihe long braces or girders.
Service was held twice in the church on the

disaster occurred. Had il h,ppened while

something grand and startling in il. One
wonders that The porcinc genus does moi run

for there are upwards of thirty Of these
