IMPoRTANT Rail ROAD IN CANADA The
proprietors of the Ontario and Huron Railroad
are making arrangements to contract for the
construction o. the entire Railroad leading
from Lake Ontario to LAKE Huron, a distance
ofabout eighty miles. This route it appears,
lies through fayorablc tract of country ana by
thus connecting the two lakes, greatly shortens
the line of communication with the upper lakes
The distance by tits roItc to Mackinaw, Lake
Superior and the State of Wisconsin will be
thereby greatly diminished and that extensive
region of country will be brought with n line
of nearly direct Communication by means of
the Ogdensburg and Vermont Railroads Nth

Applicants for Bounty Land, or for informa
tio, in relation thereto, are requested TO address
their communications on that subject to the
commissioner ofPensions direct. Their Trans
mission through the Department proper impo-
SEES on il a very great and unnecessary amount
Of labor, and the additional examination they
must thereby necessarily undergo, only ere.
ates delay and increases their liability to be
lost or misad
Whenever new questions arise under the
law, the decision of the Department will be
communicated to the Commissioner of PEN
sions, and he will thereby be enabled as lie
IS required to do, promptly TO acknowledge the
receipt oil all communications, and ansWe.
such inquiries as may be made.
As numerous inquiries have been directed to
those points, it may be well TO state -
lst. That whore the service has been rem
dered by a substitute, he is the person entitled
to the benefit of the law, aad not his employer
ID. That the witov of a soldier who has
rendered the service required by the law, is en-
titled to bounty land, provided she was widow
at the passage of tie law, although she may
have been lnarricd IA second time but if not a
widow at that time, the benefit Of the act en-.
urcs to the minor children of the deceased
soldier.
81. That no person who has received or is
entitled 20 bounty land under prior law, is
entitled to the benefit OF the act Of 3Sth Sep.

4th. That no soldier is entitled TO more than
one warrant under this act, although he NAV
rave served several terms but where soldier

AWFUL Darn OF A CHLD.-Mrs Schenok
a widow, living some five miles beyond Mont
gomcry, in this county, and her child, a little
girl Just able to talk, were attacked of late BY
a big bull dog. The dog seized the child by
the throat, and the more he was pounded to
make it let 90, the harder he held on. The
people broke the dogs back, and afer inserting
a lever into his mouth pried his jaws open and
released the sufferer, but not till her throat was
mangled so that pieces hung loose. No hopes
of the child.s recovery were entertained at last

The health of the Isthmus was good. Ex-

slight difficulty.
The accounts from California are not of a
very encouraging nature. San Francisco has
been visited by another destructive fire, which
consumed more than one hundred buildings
causing much distress among the occupants
Preparations were Ia. be made at once, how
