THE RAMR0AD.-The estimated cost
Of the railroad. projected between Ian
caster aud Zanesville. was so much great
er than the Directors anticipated, that
those gentlemen declined locating that
portion of their line at their late meeting
in Lancaster. So says the Zanesville
Courier Portsmouth, Despatch.
s, The above is calculated to deceive
The reason for not locating. did not arise
out Of the cost of the road. but from the
fact that Muskingum and Perry counties
had not yet made up the requisite amount
of subscriptions to warrantthe Directors
in putting the road under contract The
estimated cost of construction isvery little
if any larger than was anticipated. ST
soon as these counties raise the amount
OF subscriptions which has been promis
cd by and expected of them. the road
will not only be located. but put unde
contract. We are also Of the opinion
that they will do this speedily. as the!
have too much interest in the construc
zion of the road, either to delay it's com
pletion or suffer it to pass another way

THE LAST WONDER. BY invitation ot

tire. we yesterday had the pleasure "f
witnessing Professor McCormick's ex
pertinent of walking on an Inverted plane.
The experiment was private one, only
4 few persons being present. aud was
made under very disadvantageous cir
cumst tances-lhe preparations being nee
rssarilvincnmplete, and the health ot P:"
fessor M'Cormick being some what feeble.
The experiment. however, passed OH To
the entire satisfaction Of all present. A
heavy frame was erected. with slab
Of marble, nine feet long, at the top, the
under surface being polished like a mir
rur. We saw the experimenlor mount
his platform. and adjust his unwieldly
boots; then placing both feet against the
surface of the marble.he swung himself
IF. with his head dow, wards. Discon
meeting Que foot from the slab and plac'
ing il firmly several inches in advance ol
the other. he continued the alternative
movement Till he had taken ten steps
and arrived at the other end Of the
slab. We held our breath during the
experiment. expecting, nomeutarIy,tha'
he would IA |. but he aPpra'ed To walk as
safely as fly runs along the ce'llng :
After his descent. however. we noticed
that he was much exhausted, owing II

ANOTHER CURIosITY.-One of tho most
curious things that we have lately seen
is small gold coin, now in possession Of
A. c. Ross. and which was found in the
river Sacramento, by our former fellow

digging for gold in that river. The coin
is thin, the size of one of our ten cent
pieces. ofpure gold. and weighs the same
as our gold dollar piece.
By the assistance Of friend some VIII at

give the following description of the
