Rock IsLASD ANb LAsALLE RAILROAD On last
Monday VIC attended meeting Of the committee
appointed on the Rock leland and Lasalle Railroad,
TO hear Mr. Morgan, the engineer, read the report
Of hs survey Of the route. II was very interesting,
and entered into general minutiT Of all the obsta
ces with which the company would have 10 con
tend Placing every thing at the highest estimate,
the actual cost Of grading the road and erecting the
timbers md ties in readiness for good rail would
not exceed e257 900. The whole amount ncccs-
sary 10 complete the road will be about $500 600,
or nearly at the rate OF $4,000 per mile, the dis
tancc being SO, miles
A proposition has been made TO complete the
road as soon as il ia placed in readiness for the
rails; aud az the sum necessary to an organization
will more than accomplish that object, no doubts
need be entertained ofits speedy completion. The
necessity Of an early organization s apparent, and
we hope those placed upon committees 20 solicit
further subscriptions will exert themselves, the
amount nov wanted under the provisions Of the
charter 20 effect that object is almost raised.
Mr. Morgan, in his report, gave some very in
teresting statistics Of survey OF the Mississippi
river At this point and at Dubuque, TO ascertain the
expenses Of a bridge. Estimating the expenses on
the scale, IL would cost S237 900 TO erect a
bridge the river at this point, and s603 900
Al Dubuque, The approach TO the bridge, the site,
and all things else, are largely favorable TO this
point In fact, Rock Island is the only point where
the great Father Of Waters fessiby can be bridged

MILKING Cows-A NEW METHop.-The new me-
thod of milking which our readers may have
something of in the papers, is no joke, but prac
teal reality. An informant of ours witnessed the
operation IN the farm yard of Joseph Fellows, esq,
of Geneva, but few days since. India-rub bags
were drawn the cows teats, which set close
enough to exclude the air. in the lower end of which
metallic tubes inserted, closed by taps; when
the four were adjusted the taps were Withdrawn,
and the milk sreamed from each teat into the pail,

half the time it would Dke to milk in the ordinary
valid objection exist, and will be likely to

mixers we shall have TO call them-cannot exceed
fifty cents. They are simple; easily and cheaply
manufactured; when stalled, it would
seem chat one man could milk ten in fifteen min

Ex-PREsIDENT TYLER ASD THE Law STuDESTs.-
The following appears in the New York Courier
snd Enquirer Of the 18th
awe have received letter from John w. Fow-
ler esq, President Of the State and National Law
School at Balston Spa, correcting the accounts
which have gone the rounds OF the press concerning
the attendance and reception Of President Tyler,
at the late commencement Of the institution. II
has been reported that Mr.. Tyler was Missed by a
few pcrsons on his entrance. Mr.. Fowler says that
this is not true. The students, being the watch
fJr Mr.. Tylcr's appearance, mistook every one who
entered for him, and applaudcd them accordingly.
This had been long continued as TO excite some
displeasure, and accordingly, when the next per
son entered, a few hisscd-meaning therebyto cen
sure the practice Of applsuding others-whorcas IL
happened that the person entering was the voutabic
cx. President. THIS is the explanation of the mis-
take by which he was apparently hisscd.
" MIR. Fowler says IL is not true that Mr.. Tyler
made a speech in which he cautioned the students
against devodng their attention TO politics, as he
had seen tho bitter consequences Of such course.
Nor were any marks Of disspprobation shown to-
wards him on the ground that he is STAKEHOLDER.
The Institution, Mr.. b. says, recognises no differ
cnces founded upon or growing out Of slavery. II
has students from all sections OF the country and
from almost every State in the Union, and nothing
has yet occurred 20 indicate any differences Of
timent upon the subject"
