The LATEST CASE OF ABcENcE OF MIHD.-A
very worthy and pious farmer residing in Rut-
land, in this county, arose from his bed last
Sabbath morning, and under the impression
that it was Saturday, proceeded to his garden
and dug quantity Of potatoes thence he pro-
ceeded to the fields, and after picking several
baskets of backberries, he har,essed up old
Dobbn and ladng the Wagon with the fruits
of his labors, he started for the centre Of the
town to market He called at several places,
but nobody seemed inclined to purchase, and
finally he called on the town constable, who very
gravey remarked upon the improperly of such
proceedings on Sunday. 1t was with much
difficulty that the farmer was brought to
knowledge Of the fact that he was breaking
one of he commandments, but when he was
assured that it was really The Sabbath, and that
the good people of the village had already at
tended divine service twice, while he had been
busy with his farm and his merchandise, his
modification was great indeed. Old Dobbin's
head was turned with tho greatest dispatch in
the direction of his own barn door, and with Il
speed that would have done no discredit to Ia
cony, the sagacous animal soon brought his
master to his home. We need not add, that
the remainder of the day was spent in reading
the good book, in meditaiions and prayer.

when we penned the article last week touching
upon the repeated failures of the mail. We
culled no names because we knew not where the
blame lay. After waiting for our mail matter
about week we concluded there was negli.
gence somewhere that called for severe repro
baton. We therefore noticed this somewhat
pointedly, as we shall all other equally gross de-
linqueneies that may occur. If any suspicious

Oakland and Ottawa Ruiirood.

The news that has reached us during the past
week relating TO the prospects for an early com.
pletion of this road are unusually encouraging
At the annual meeting of the stockholders held
ut Detroit on the 9TH inst, Gen. Cass, Henry N
Walker, Edmund A. Brush, Zachariah Chandler
Buckminster Wight, Willard NJ. Mcconnell
and Isaac Buchanan, were chosen directors foi
the ensuing year. Such names alone arc suf
ficent guarantee that the work will be prosecu-
ted in earnest A call of 5 per cent on the cap
ital stock has been made. This we publish in an.
other column. One contractor has advertised
largely for men, horses and carts, and has, as we
are verbally Informed, already commenced opera
tons with vigor on the eastern section of the
road. These facts are enough TO assure those who
have hitherto been skeptical as to the good faith
ofthe company. Even the unbelef of the De-
troit Times, which has exceeded that of any 9TH
er journal, seems to have been wholly cured
A late number Of that paper has the following
language:
1T affords us sincere pleasure to state that
our citizens have at length forced the manage
ment of the Oakland and Ottawa Railroad affairs
into the hands of gentlemen in whom the public
have the most implicit confidence, and which
will now, we think, ensure its completion The
jobbing operations have been put to rest, and
