TIE IECTI0N

RAILRoAD.-There was a very respectable
turn out of the voters of this county, at the
election on Saturday last, upon the propositions
submitted TO them by the County Court relative
to the Railroad and Plank Road, and it gives us
great pleasure to announce TO the friends of the
North Missouri Railroad, that the people deci-
ded that the County Court should subscribe
SlOO 900 to the capital stock of said Road proA
yided it runs within ~ miles of Paris, or $780,
900 if it runs through any portion of the coun-
ty. TIE vote in favor of these propositions
was quite decisive and is not only an earnest of
the feelings Of the people on this subject, but
shows that they will act and act literally in the
premises, if they can secure the road This
vote is quite creditable to the county, and as
such it gives us great pleasure 10 announce it,
PLANK RoAD.-The proposition on this sub
iect was voted down by much stronger vote
than that of last Fall-though we do not con.
slider it fair test Of the sense of the people Of
the county on the subject, as there were va
riety of causes which combined to bring about
this result. But it is not necessary here to
enumerate the causes, as il is local matter,
and the people of the county are generally con-
vcrsant with the same.
The VOrE.-We have received returns from
all the townships but Union which we here
append-but in order 10 a propef understand
ing of the vote, we will state the propositions
Iupon which the vote was taken, to-wit: Wheth.
er the county should take stock to the amount ol
500, 900 or $40, 900 in the Plank Road, or none
and whether the county should take $lO0y
900 stock in the Railroad if it runs within Il
miles of Paris, $50, 900 if it runs through th'
county, or none in either event. Upon these

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 1863.

Mr.. Dunlap, who has o blacksmith shop
\ few miles from Hannibal, came near losing
his life short time since, BY an apparently
triEing accident. He cut the end of his
thumb slightly with his penknife. The
whole arm soon swelled, and red streah
extended from the thumb to the shoulder
blade; large kernels appeared under the
armpit; the glands Of the throat were much
swollen, and all the skill of his physician
barely enabled the sufferer 10 escape lock-
Jaw. within two or three days after the ac-
cident. He is now recovering, but will pro-
baby lose the end Of his thumb.

asThe following picture of life in Caliior-

Written by Mr.. Bowman, Of San Francisco:
1t is amusing to see a fresh adventurer
come into the mines. If he has n few hun
dred dollars, he can buy "claim," and that
Is his only chance, for the good claims are
ali taken up. But what is thousand dol
lars or so! You will take it out il week;
the claim alongside yielded fifteen hundred

isn't sleepy and so washes his dirt, waits

A miners cabin is made Of cotton cloth,
like camp p-meeting tent, with an old bar
rel over the fireplace for chimney. Bunks
are arranged along the side, one above ano-
ther, like the hunks on canal boat. There
no rests his weary bones after hard day:
work, the fleas permitting. These "gicket
aeas" are great bores. They are P6dige
nous to the soil, to the "manor born," nu
Insrous, healthy and increasing. They sleeI
in the miners blankets while the mine
works, and work while the miner sleeps.
The miners furniture consists of 2 or
stools for seats, greasy table, TN cup,
frying pan, stew-pot, two or three til
piates, an old knife and fork, a coffee pot
and a butcher-kniie, which is carried in hi
bell. The dishes are washed only once
day, after supper. His stock of provision
consists usually of sack OF -four, h0r

the proceedings were quite interesting. DIR.
Cox, from the Committee on Bills and Over

ces, and in opposition TO certain others. AmSng
the topics touched upon was the practice Of
dancing, which the report condemns, very pO-
litely; while the marriage Of man with his
niece is regarded as not uscrptural, although it
is not to be recommended. The older branch
