FRANKLIN AND WARREN RAIL HUAD.
CHIEF ENGINEERS REPORT.

To MARVIN KENT, ESQ,
President Franklin and Warren Il. II
Company:
SIN: In The examination and selection
for the route of the franklin and Warren
Rail Road, three essential considerations
were KEEP, constantly in view.
% Isl. The shortest and most direct line
from The city of Dayton, as a western
terminus. to The Northeastern connection
with The Pennsylvania State line.
ID. The face of the country most con-
venisnily and economically fitted Tor 'he
construction Of The ros!.
81. The points Of connection with
other, more especially with Western and
Southern, enterprises of The same charlc'
ter, either completed, in progress or pro-
iected. serving o. likely 10 serve as feeders
Tor the main trunk Of which the Franklin
and Warren Rail Road forms 50 consider
able a portion.
The proper attention 10 these leading
points has involved an amount oil lnves'i-
cation and carefuIness Of scrutiny Which
have postponed a definite %loclIion beyond
the period a, which il was desirable active
operalious should mmence along The
whole extent of the work. Various sug
g~es,ions have from lime 10 time been urged.
Indicating different points 10 be touched
adyan,ageously for the road, all oil when
have received that due and careful consid.
Grafton which the Importance OF the sub
iect, and the magnitude of The interests
involved, demanded.
II may here be remarked that the srIec'
ton of different local positions 10 deter
mine the line Of operations has been held
subservient 10 the more important consld
er,,ions of directnpss OF route and the
formation of connections with feeding
roads, or those which are shortly 10 be-
come so.

the mos, direct route will always claim The

MIR. PoIiard,s Intoxicated Monkey.


Jack, as he was called, seeing his master and
some companions drinking, with those imita-
tive powers for which his species is remarkable,
finding half glass of whiskey left, took it up
and drank it off. It flew of course to his head.
Amid their roars Of laughter, he began to skip,
hop, and dance. Jack was drunk. Next day,
when they went, with the intention Of repeating
the fun to take the poor monkey from his box,
he was not to be seen Looking inside, there
he lay, crouching in corner. Come out"
said his master Afraid to disobey, he came
walking on three legs--the fore paw was laid
on his forehead, saying, as plain as words
could do, that he had headache. Having left
him some days to get well, and resume his
gayety, they at length carried him off to the
old scene Of revel. On entering, he eyed the
glasses with manifest terror skulkng behind
the chairs and, on his master ordering him to
drink, he bolted, and he was on the house top
in q twinkling. They called him down. He
would not come. His master shook whip at
him. Jack, astride on the ridge pole, grinned
defiance. A gun, of which he was always
much afraid, was pointed at this disciple OF
temperance; he ducked his head, and slipped
over to the back Of the house. Two guns we're

A Keeper shot BY Poachers.

The Ipswich Erpess thus reports an affray
which took place between some poachers and
the keepers Of John Berners, ESQ.,. Of Hol
brook, on the night of Monday, the 10Th inst
At half past twelve on the night in question, a
keeper, named John Rush, hearing the report
of gun in the Holbrook Gardens, opened his
chamber widow, and blew his railway whistle,
as signal to the keepers. He then dressed
himself, and called up an assistant keeper,
named Thomas Manning, who lives in a cot
tage under the same root, and they proceeded
in the direction from whence the sound had
been heard. Shortly after, Rush called out for
Manning to come back. Almost Immediately
after he had done so, Manning perceived one
Of the poachers, and pursued him distance Of
about two rods, when second poacher made
his appearance, and from his movements, it
appeared as if he wanted to make his escape
who was standing Just on the other side, he
drew back into the preserves. Manning now
proceeded for short distance by the side Of the
gardens, thinking that the poacher had gone
in that direction, when some one behind him
fired gun, the charge from which entered the
lower part of his person. Notwithstanding the
immense agony he was suffering, Manning cou-
rageously pursued the man in front, succeeded
in coming up with him, and seizing him by the
collar of his coat but the man hourishing a
bludgeon, and at the same time threatening
him, and from the loss Of blood Manning had
by this time sustained, and the intense pain he
was suffering from the gunshot wounds, he was
compelled to release his hold of the poacher.
just at this moment the second poacher, and
the man whom Manning believed to be the
person who fired the gun, ran by him in the
direction Of Wolverstone. The keeper Rush,
having heard the report of the gun which had
been fired at and wounded Manning was soon
upon the spot, when he found poor Manning
much exhausted, and groaning piteously from
the wounds he had sustained. With much diff
6culty he assisted the poor fellow to his home,
a distance Of a quarter Of mile. Mr.. Jar
mans, surgeon, of Holbrook, was quickly in
attendance upon the suffering man, and APP
piled remedies usual in such case. From
the examination he made, he discovered that
no less than one hundred and sixty shots had
entered Mannings person, some Of them to a
depth Of two inches. Up to Sunday evening
last, Manning was going on as well as could
be expected under all the circumstances.
