There are others equally Objectionable to
some of which I will briefly advert
That part of the bill which requires the
company to change their route to 60 via
.'acksonport. provided the people of that
pace shall first fully indemnify the compa-
ny by taking stock subscriptions. The diff
ference in cost against Jacksonport is about
$4,000, with an increase Of distance which
weuld require an additional annual expense
for motive power. that stock subscription
would not pay. Again-the clause giving
to actual settlers on the lands donated by
the United States. the right to enter 160
acres. at s. so per acre, is palpable vio-
l;tion of the act of Congress, which express
ly says such lands shall not be appropriated
to any other purpose than to aid in the con-
strnction of the road. II the land was
worth twenty dollars an acre. land much of
it would be worth that sum- the company
under this clause, would get only two dol
lars and fifty cents for land, intrinsically
worth twenty.
l might continue TO point out objections,
real and valid, to this BILL but as I regard
those already enumerated, as sufficient cause
for rejecting it, I will conclude.

NUMBER 42.
Daring At.emp, n, Highway Robbery.

A day or two ago we copied an article from
the Marysville Herald, narrating the particulars
of highway robbery attempted in the neigh
borhood of that city. The Express gives the
following rather comical account OF the AFFAIR."
4" The facts in this rillainous case, as near as
we have been able to find them out, are these:
Jim s. and B. G., two notoriously clever
fellows, and most unmerclful wags, were out on
little fly, in one horse buggy, with loose
horse attached and overhauling teamster
on the highway. they drew the cork OF a cham,
pagne bottle on him, the contents of which en-
tered his mouth aud ranged down the aerophogns
till it lodged in the stomach. staggering the
poor fellow considerably, but being possessed OF
an iron constitution he soon recovered himself.
and made good his escape from the robbers.
The next victim that fell under the observa-
ton of these blood-ihirsty and money-coveting
'highwaymen,' was Mr. Hoffman, Postmaster at
Parks Bar, who was SOLITARY horscman.
jim. as soon as Mr.. II. got within shooting dis
tamce- levelled similar weapon TO the one used
on the tehmster at him, but before time was al
lowed to pull the cork, pair of large Spanish
spurs were plunged deep into the flank OF as
noble charger as ever skinned the prairie,
and Mr. H. soon arrived in town literally ex
hausted by the tremendous excrtion he was
compelled to make in order to escape with his
lite. AS soon as he was sufficiently recovered 10
talk, he told the reporters OF our cotemporaries
(who were standing over his PROSTATE body
pencils IN hand ever on the alert for important
tems) OF his miraculous escape, of the robbery
OF the poor teamster, &C., which they eagerly
copied verbatim from the speakers lips and
lald before their readers next mofning-one day
ahead of the Express We learn that Mr.. Hoff-
man was able to ride yesterday morning. and
took an early start for Parks Bar in order to
reach home before dark. Mr.. II. has holy
horror of robbers since his postofice was filcled
OF S4, month or two since.
