CONTEMPLATED STAGE LIME

by an article In the Hannibal MOI journal
we observe that our Pike county friends are
determined, notwithstanding the drawback and
disappointment which has attended their efforts
in the construction of railroads, that they at
least are determined that should they fail in one
they will have the other to fall back upon
This is commendable and Messrs. Donaldson,
Brown, Klein, and other citizens Of Barry and
Undertook have been deputed TO the above
place, TO ascertain the feeling and sentiment in
reference 10 the project of establishing daily
line Of coaches from Naples, on the Illinois
river, to Hannibal, on the Mississippi, running
through Florence, Pitsfeld, Barry and Kinder
hook. We are Familiarity acquainted with the
people and business transactions in those Sec
tions, and are satisfied that a similar enterprise
has been called for years ago, and the rapid
growth and wants of the community loudly de-
mands such step, passing as this road will.
through denseiy populated and wealthy coun-
try, which for enterprise and energy cannot be
surpassed.
The cost and outfit Of this road would COM
paratyely be nothing, when compared to the
increase Of travel which would find an outlet on
either point, and from thence up the rivers to
Chicago and eastward. As the subject at the
proper time will come before Congress- we have
no hesitation in believing that, with the aid of
the efficient services of Col. w. A. Richardson,
Senator of this district that the measure will
receive favorable attention and due consideration
at the hands of Congress.
Whilst upon the subject of Stage Lines, we
would state that similar effort is being made
by our Canton friends for the establishment of
tri-weekly line of coaches from Pebin TO War
saw, passing through Canton and Macomb; in
which enterprise we assure the company they
have the hearty cooperation Of the entire people

lelt, among oIher personal property, 10 his TWO
sons valuable slave named Jim. Jim was a
lavorite of both his masters, and neither would
sell his half Of Jim to the other but about the
first of this month gentleman Of this city who
has plantation in Louisiana, and in whose SER
vice Jim was hired, informs us that one Of his
owners, finding himself insolvent, resolved to
sell his half of the slave at auction forecast, and
did not wish his brother TO get him.
The boy Jim had accumulated, by one way
and another small pile OF money, and when
he was put up at auction in the slave market at
New Orleans, Jim bought one half OF hims elf {!
Well, time wore on, Jim working faithfully for
the man TO whom he was hired, receiving one
half his earnings himself, until about the first Of
this month, when, in swimming bayou, lie
became weak, and fearing that he should drown,
cried Justify for help, and offered his half of
himself TO any one who would save him. A
man standing on the shore showed off in a skiff,
and got TO Jim ust as he was about TO 90 under,
and pulled him in. Jim now, like an honest
fellow, offered TO give his own half Of himself,
which his magnanimous preServer declined
taking, when Jim imploringly held up his hands
and exclaimed: "Ir ebber Jim gifts any more
money, massa, TO God, he'll nebber invest it in
jint nigga stock wdout he insured. Dis sort O.
stock is berry unsmain, sure"

The cholera broke out here on Wednesday ;
since then fourteen deaths have occurred. 1t
has now subsidized, and there are very few cases
under trealment-perlccily manageable. The
disease was caused by the overflow of small
canal running through the lower part of the
town. Many families left houselcss.

The scenes at the graveyards are said to have
been Of shocking character. The True Delta
speaks Of fights there over unburied bodies, >"
IN which whisky seems TO have had its due

creditable and notorious, that people who have
the bodies ofIhcr deceased friends buried at the
expense Of the corporation find funds enough
to purchase whisky, which they dunk to eX-

scenes az these cemeteries, in its "Walks down
