ROCK ISLAND AND LASALLE RAIL-
ROAD.

The severity Of the weather has caused
q temporary suspension Of effort upon this
side Of the river, but We perceive that the
matteris still being urged in Rock Island
county. A meeting was appointed to be
held at Illinois City on the Goth uls., and
another a, Edgins:on precinct on the 9th.
While the weather continues too cold to
visit the country, those holding suhscrip-
lion papers should be circulating them in
town, ss there are still msny here who
would willingly subscribe were tbs subject
placed before them in its true light. Push
forward the work--we should have tho
whole amount subscribed before March,,
can be done, all that is required is con-
tinuance of that effort which has already
accomplished SO much.

rae .PARKMAN MURDER"

Again we allude TO this exciting case, as
i, woull do our heart COED g see circa"''
sandal eriacacc--sof al evidence The most
,reacherous aud unsafe -.paralyzed through
The innocence Of DR.. Webster. A jury OF
twelve men empanneled upon coroner's in

erv Of such evidence, returned verdict
against Prot. Webster. This fact, il Web
ster be proved innocent, will strengthen tho
position we have assumed, sustained a. i
is BY the best legal talent Of the age.
The principal evidence adduced against
Prof. Webster is the finding Of tho remains
Of q human body in his laboratory and the
Identification Of those remains as Parkmans
by his family. It would DO strange indeed
il Prof Weoster,a practical chemist, should
allow such evidence Of his guilt TO remain
in bis room nearly whole week, when no
possessed agents BY means Of which they
might so easily have been dissolved. Asto
the Identification Of these remains by his
family, We conceive il to be matter ofim-
possibility. If Dr.. Parkmsn be dead, Of
which we perceive better informed editors
are beginning to express doubt, we in
cline to the opinion that Dr. Webster is not
the murderer, but the victim Of some deep
laid scheme Of ,illainy.

TEMPERANCE.

A Mr.. Ross delivered lecture here Sat

were prohibited, by sickness in our family,

Bakers Steam Boiler Furnace.

This valuable invention, which is now eXcit-
ting good deal of attention at the North and
East, is fast becoming established there as de-
cldedly great Improvement on the ordinary
furnace. Some weeks since we alluded to the
result of the trial of this furnace by the cele-
brated English engineer, Mr.. Thomas Wick
sTEED, at the East London Water Works
That report, showing the furnace to be twelve
per cent. better than the celebrated cornish
nomlcal in use in that country, was adopted by
the British Board of Admiralty as the report
Of their own engineer, they having sufficient
confidence in Mr.. WIcKsTEEp's Judgment
Since that time the New England Engineers
Association have been engaged in making some
detailed experiments with the furnace. A re-
port of their committee is now before US, which
exhibits most thorough and accurate state
ment of results, showing gain of twenty-five
and three-tenths per cent. in favor of Bakers
furnace. The trial was made with the same
set of boilers, first with the furnace and then
with the furnace removed, and leaving the
boilers set as in the ordinary form. This re-
port, coming from one of the most eminent
associations of engineers in the world, corrobo-
rating as it did the results obtained in other
furnaces of the kind in and about Boston, opened
the eyes of practical engineers and capitalists
to the great value Of the patent, and we are
gratifed to learn that Messrs. SrILLMAN, Al
LEN s Co., Of the Novelty Works, New York,
have become interested in the patent as propri-
etors, and general agents for the furnace in
the United States The very high reputation
enjoyed by these gentlemen as builders of en-
gines and steam machinery, extending, as it
does throughout the world, is an earnest of the
value of the improvement on which the coun-
try can rely with entire confidence
