JoYFUL MEETING. We clip the following
incident connected with the late Railroad col
lision, from the Aurora Guardian:
"A resident Of our place, Mr.. Scrnff5rd, was
expecting son home from Michigan. On re
celrt of the news Of the collision he posted off
Immediately to Chicago. Arriving there he
found that the dead had all been buried. One
unknown young man was described. The
dress, color Of his hair,age, and size, tailed
with remarkable precision A pocket took
taken from the pocket of the unknown bod !,
" as produced; 1t was the boys. The father re
turned home to tell the story to other aching
hearts, bat failed to see the body. Next day
he returned again to Chicago, and while in
search of the coroner met hs own son in the
street alive aud WE'LL On comparing pocket
books such was the similarity that it was hard
to distinguish one from the other. The 10Y OF
that meeting may be better imagined than de.
scribcd Young Scralford had been TO Mich
gan for trees and would have returned in the
unfortunate train, but " as two late To get on
board"

CAPT. ERIcssoN responds promptly to the
call Of tho New York press for some explana-
ton of Il G delay attending the projected voy
age Of his Calorie ship To Europe. He gives
the assurance that "nothing whatever has oc
CARED in working the machinery indicating
difficulties that can prevent the successful
realization Of ihi, important enterprise. The
only difficulty We have met with is that Of the
cylinder bottoms OF heaters, having proved too
elastic aud yielding 10 remain air tight or to
admit Of full pressure being carried. On the
Return OF the ship from the South two months
ago, it was deemed advisable to replace these
heaters which are made of boiler plate, by
others Of cast IRON, as that material admits Of
being made of any required thickness. OILY
one foundry having been found willing TO un.
derlake the casting oil these, requiring from
six 10 eight months Tor their completion, We
have been compelled To adopt different plan;
one, however, that will insure Increased power
aud speed. As the modification which this in
wolves calls for work Of great magnitude, oul
friends will have to exercise some little pa
iicncc."
