CHICAGO, ST. CHARLES AND mis-.
SISSIPPI RAILROAD

The Directors of the above road returned to
the city on Friday last from Galena, where they
had been to attend melting of the Board. We
learn that the deliberations Of the Board were
characterized by the most perfect harmony, and
that the best of feeling exists he part of the
citizens of Galena towards the Company. The
Directors found a similar feeling prevailing
along the entire line of the road. The Chief
Engineer has completed three surveys from st.
Charles to Savanna, but the location will not be
determined until the next meeting CT the Board
which is to be held at Sycamore on the FIRST
Wednesday in September next. Meanwhile,
parties are engaged in securing the right Of way
so that no time will be lost by this seeming de-.
lay Some three hundred Iaborers are now en-
gagged upon the road between Chicago and st.
Charles. The Company have purchased near
y fifty acres Of ground for track and depot, on
the West Side, nearly opposite the Southern
Michigan depot. The road will come into the
city upon the Companys own ground, and not
by street.
West of the Mississippi good feeling also
exists as to the extension of this road. Linn
county has taken 100000 stock. Jackson and
Jones counties will vote on proposition to SUBJ
scribe $3.50, 900 each, on the LIST of August
next, and no doubt is entertained as to the re.
suit. Upon the whole we think we are safe in
| saying that the prospects of vigorous and
successful prosecution Of this enterprise are al
fattering as its best friends could desre.-Dem.

AMPLE OF FEMALE COURAGE.

A German named Henry Coleman, an ugly
looking customer, was arranged in the police
Court in this city, on monday, on a charge Of
attempting to rob Mrs. Elthina Barkes and her
two daughters, Lucy Ann and Angelina, on the
highway between Fichburgh and Westminster,
on Saturday last The circumstances of this
bold outrage are briefly these: The three females
were proceeding in a one horse wagon, and
while riding through by part of the town of
Westminster, the prisoner came out of the BUSH
es by the road side, and seized the horse by the
bride, demanded their money. They told him
they had none; but he still persisted in his de-
mands; and turned the horse to the side of the
road, when one of the daughters, an intelligent
and courageous young lady of about ~ years Of
age, jumped from the wagon and started off to
raise assistance. The ruffian perceving her de-
sign, caught her, and dragging her into the
bushes threw her down and tore her clothes
nearly off her.
In this struggle, however, the young lady
seized him by the hair with both hands, and
held him SO firm that he could do no flu, Their
violence, but at a favorable moment she relin-
pushed her grasp and fled; after running
short distance she met a man of whom she
asked assistance, but to his shame be it said, he
was afraid to 60 with her, and started off to get
more help, while the prisoner thus for time
made his escape, though he would have been
arrested on the spot, had this chicken hearted
representative the genus homo possessed 1.-THE
of the courage exhibited by this young lady
After the robber left the horse to catch and de-
tain the daughter, the mother drove on to seek
assistance, which was finally obtained, but the
william as before stated, had escaped. He was
subsequently traced to this city, where he was
finally ovsrhauled by officer Warren on Satur-
day. His examination resulted in his commit.
tai for trial at the September term of Common
Pleas, for the attempted highway robbery ana
for the assault upon the young lady Forester,

AN EXTRAORDINARY SroKY-An extra ordi.
nary story is told by Captain Wallace of lover
and his mistress, who were saved in mirac uous
manner from the jaws Of shark:
"A transport with regiment on board was
sailing with gentle breeze along the coast of
Spain One of the officers was leaning over
the poop railing, conversing with young lady
who had inspired him with tender passion
The fair one was in the act OF handing paper
10 her lover, when, overreaching herself, she
fell into the sea, and supported by her clothes
drifted astern. The officer lost no time in Jump.
ing in after her, and upheld her by one arm
The sails were quickly backed, the ship lay to,
and preparations we made to lower the boat
when, to the dismay of all on board, large
shark appeared under the keel of the vessel
gliding towards its victims. A shout of terror
from the agonized spectators, called the atten-
ton of The officer to the approaching danger
He saw the monster, at length, near him he
made desperate effort, plunged and splashed
the water, so as to brighten the shark, which
turned and dove out of sight. The current had
now carried the officer and lady close to the
vessel, when the shark appeared the second
time, and was in the act of turning on his back
to seize the hapless pair. when a private of the
officers company, who was in the hammock
nettings, jumped fearlessly with a bayonet in
his hand which he plunged into the back of the
shark, which, instantly disappearing, the three
were saved before he dared 10 make his re ap-
pearance.'
