PROPOSITION TO TUNNEL THE Ono RIVER AT
THE FALLs.-A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier proposes to tunnel the Ohio river at the
falls, for railroad purposes. He thinks such n
work would make the falls the radating point of
q great number of railroads. He thus speaks OF
its practicability and expensveness:
''The work is perfectly practicable. A railroad
tunnel can be made under the falls of the Ohio
with as much facility, and not more expensive,
than tunneling under mountains, hills, and other
places; it would not be expensive as the Petit
bone tunnel, on tho Baltimore and Ohio road, and
nothing to compare with the four-mile tunnel I'M
der the Hoosic, between Troy and Greenfield.
The falls of the Ohio is solid bed of limestone,
elevated as it were, some twenty feet above what
would be n level of the bed of the river above and
below; and tunnel can be got through with
grade not exceeding forty feet to the mile, coming
out from the centre, with entrances not more than
half mile from the river bank on either side.
The tunnel, with outside grades, would be about
two wiIes in length; the stone excavation, under
the bed of tho river, some 400 yards long
which two good steam tunncng machines will
drill our in six months at cost of about $3.50 900.
The dirt excavation, grading for the road, ma
sorry at the entrance, &C., would cost, perhaps,
S2O6,OOO. Total, S45O,O00 The estimate for q
bridge was 100000 Hydraulic cement is abund-
ant, and gas convenient for light"

The prisoner stated that he was a native of Penn

any crime; that he had been sent on from Phila-

CUPPING EXTRAORDINARY.-Af female woman
who gories in the full enjoyment of all the liber
ties Of the ancient Third, occasionally, while her
husband is out attending to his daily labor, be-
takes herself to the cups and gets flddled. Cen
orally, however, she manages to sleep off the
effects of the cups before her husband returns.
But this was not the case on Monday last. The
husband returned and found his other half in bed.
He inquired as a fond and laborious husband
should, what was the matter, and the wife, know
ing it would not do to say that she had been
drinking, feverishly informed her anxious spouse
that she had been Frustrated by "the prevailing
epidemic" The poor laborious husband was of
course alarmed, and ran off at once for cupper
and bleeder, and when that sanguinary function
airy appeared he proceeded forthwith to use his
cups, and drew from the Frustrated patient sun
dry pints of her best blood. 1t were almost need
less to add that on the following morning the pic
tin, of the cups was both sober and well, though
rather sore about her neck and breast. Our in
formant further relates that the wife has since
been again slightly affected with the prevailing
epidemic, and the husband again called the ia
nous cupper who, suspecting the peculiar char
acter of the patients illness, cupped her second
time without mercy, and thereby cured her Sc
cond time. 1t is thought that the wife will give
up drinking when she finds that every time she
gets feverish by indulging in cups of brandy, she
she has to get cured by losing cups of blood; and
the husband most surely should get patent for
his newly discovered system of cure by antagons-
tic cupping .--Nep Orleans True Delta.
