In your paper Of Feb. 10, ! dscov.
err notionSto contractors, calling for bids for
laying down and Fastening the Plank on the
Burlington and Warren Plank Road. e
Not wishing 70 bid for contract myself, |
would suggest for The consideration Of those
terestcd, the following plan for fastening he
whole structure to the grade
After the grade is raised to it's proper height
and settled, lay down stringers lengthwise Of
the road about four feel and half apart, and
bedded in the earth the stringers 8 ipehes thick
and from 8 to IL inches wide, to lay down flat.
ways, and IL woiny edged, all the bctter Law
the broad side down so that the weight of earth
on it will hold it seoiye, sHd Elep the joints
are broke with the strngers, place a plank
crosswise OF the road under the stringers so that
they shall meet on il, and fasten it with five
inch spikes.
In addition to this, put through each string
or and tie, pin or Spite of about 3 inches dunn
etcr, TO be drove three feet deep, with the top
sufficiently large that it cannot draw through let
this spile be made small in the middle, to serve
as wedge with the large enddown, then pack
the earth solid round it and roll it well and it is
ready to receive the plank, which should be
well fastened TO those sis with large spikes or
pins. Lay the plank one foot from the lower
edge Of the grade and with slope af ono s13s
haif inches, in The length Of the plank let the
grade at the lever side be ev en- with the top Of
the plank, and at the upper end of them raise
the grade three inches above them, SO that the
end will always be covered with earth. Let
the grade track be kept rounding and higher
than the plank track. t~
In this way think permanent road may be
secured, though perhaps others more expert
enoed may suggest better plan.

Nearly every house seems 10 have its "rapper."
There has been some gossip about something
Of the sort here. II seems that one OF our citi-

Of the Cincinnati mediums, about his children.
She told him many things that startled him be-
cause Of the apparent impossibility that they
should be known 10 any person in Cincinnati,
She then told him she was afraid that one of the
children would need his attention, but that he
had better enquire Of her further through a
young lady living in South Notwithstanding
her, and stating that she was medium. The
young lady referred to says if she is medium,
she don't know it.

ThOs. l. anderson.


The last Palmyra Wing contained a card from
THos. L. ASDERsoN, Esqr requesting that his
name should be no longer usedin connection with
the position of candidate for the office of Gov
ernor. We exceedingly regret this step on his
part, for two reasons his success would have
baen certain; anu his administrations as Governor
would haze reflected Tho highest honor OH his
party and the State. With the fattering pros
poets before him, Mr.. Andersons withdrawal
must beoscribed mainly to his aversion for Office
one of the reasons given by himself in the card
referred to.
As part proof of the estimation in which he
is held in every part of the State, we copy the
following from the Lexington Express;
THOMAS L. ANDERsoE.-The Wings of this
county, until lately have expressed no decided
preference for any gentleman for the office Of
Governor. Within fortnight many have de.
clared themselves in favor of the gentleman
whose name is at the head of this paragraph
Mr.. A. is a talented and gallant Wing, who ha,
never looked back--nor turned TO the right Of
to the left, either TO estimate The ralue of the t
ION or 10 look into the flesh pots of the ee-SoLers
Without expressing any decided preference fol
Mr.. ANDERSON, we give it as our frank opinion
that there is not man in Missouri who can oper
the campaign with brighter prospects of success,
than Mr.. Anderson.
