THE HILIsBoRo AND PARKERs-
BURG RAILwAY.-The Cincinnati
Gazette says:
We are now given TO understand,
on the most reliable authority, that
the contracts for the grading and
masonry on the HilIsboro and Par
kersburg road, given out a few days
since, were extended so as TO include
the whole line from Hillsboro TO
Belpre. The whole line, therefore,
from ST. Louis 10 the Baltimore and
Ohio road, at Three Forks, is now
under contract. The company has
removed the first Mortgage on their
road given TO the city OF Cincinnati,
and now hold it free Of membranes.
We notice that Mr.. Baldwin, the
late President Of the company, has
obtained preliminary injunction, 10
stop, until the further order Of the
Court, the construction east Of Hills
boIo. We do not know his ground
of complaint, but no doubt is enter
tanned Fere that the Court will
dissolve the injunction on motion.

HONEST or CAPABLE, and therefore
in no event should be selected by Pierce
for any responsible office.
Now we certainly have no great love
for Medary, as a politician, but if Pierce
is going to take a cabinet officer from
Ohio, Medary is as politically deserving
as any he can select, and we see no
good reason TO doubt that he would do

The FALLS Cry, the first of the
Wheeling and Louisville line, passed
our town Tuesday night. about 9 O.
clock. The Louisville Journal, in a
lengthy notice of this boat, remarks:
No Ohio river boat has ever left this
or any other port that can for a moment
bear any comparison with the Falls
City. She stands alone, the belle OF
the Ohio, with no rival to dispute her
claim. Even with the splendid New
Orleans boats by her side she takes her
position among the first. Her model is
beautiful, and her strength is insured by
every possible arrangement.
We give her dimensions, as follows:
Length on deck 3Os feet, breadth Of
beam So feet, and depth of hold 6 feet
10 inches. Wheels-Diameter 81 feet
6 inches, length of buckets 19 feet; g
powerful engines, 9 feet stroke, and cyl.
inders 80 inches in diameter; boilers,
% feet long and IS inches in diameter,
with flues each.
She is commanded by Capt. SAM
MASON, who is no stranger to our citi'
zens, as he commanded the popular
Telegraph No. ,, when she piled be-
tween Louisville and Pittsburgh.

To persons having the care of steam engines,
the following, from the Lawrenceburg Register,
may be valuable:
90 Mr.. Ira Hill has informed us that lie has
accidentally made a valuable discovery, by
which the deposit of lime upon steam boilers
may be obviated. Two or three shovels Of saw
dust are thrown into the boiler; after which
process he states he never had any difficulty
from lime, although using water strongly i'm
pregnated with it. He has always found the in
side OF his boilers as smooth rs if Just oiled
Whether the lime attaches itself to the floating
particles Of sawdust instead Of the boiler, or
whether the tanic acid in the oak sawdust forms
salt with the lime which will not attach itself
to iron, remains to be explained The sawdust
was placed in the boiler for the purse Of stop

Where eglantine with jessamine entwines
Where, far in shadowy hooks and grassy dels.
The wild grape curls its parasitic vines
Curtanng the cool grove from the garsh light of day
There the white flowers OF the magnolia tree
Lavishly shed odorous delight,
Loading the languid air whilst blithe and free
Brightplumed birds avert their airy flight,
And in exutant tones the boughs among,
Pour through the echong grove melodious song
There the lymph lakelet flashes in the light,
It's mimic waves moved by the playful breeze,
Its margins slope with violets bedight,
And its fair surface mirroring the trees,
The passing brd-the trembling stars of even,
Each ttful change that marks the face Of heaven
Love let us leave the hot and dusty street,
The busy din the tumult Of the mart
And fastening ththerward on flying feet
Gather fresh flowers and music for the heart
LAYING our brows in those peucid streams dreams
That gust among fresh flowers like childrens laughing
There, while the mock bird trls his varying song,
Wen carol too in cumulative mrth

Gathered all glittering from the dewy earth
