4 utssk.assx Railroad Argument.

Our friend and contemporary OF the Mns'
catine Journal, who visited our city last
week. on bis return homeward. was furnish.
ed with what he terms break-ncck argu-
men, in favor OF the early completion OF the
Railroad connecting our two cities lie
thu. graphically describes his adven.
ture:-
Tuesday afternoon, as we jolted along in
the stage towards Davenport, and noticed
the crowd Of laborers shoveling and carting
in the busy work Of cutting through hills
and raising long line Of embankment, we
felt quito grateful for the prospect OF arall-
road in operation next summer The open
ing Of such road would be glorious cele-
bration Of the eyer-glorious Fourth, and
such celebration may be confidently ex-
pee,ed. As we PASSED on through fertile
region Of country already thickly dotted ov-
er with houses surrounded by good prairie
farms. we associated with that improvement
noble future for this county.
Nut il was on our return that we met
with the most complete railroad argument:
We were in one of two full coaches that
left Davenport about O'Clock OF night,
cloudy, foggy. and as dark as Egypt The
horses steamed so that the drivers could not
seq and the ground was extremely slippery.
The drivers were very careful. drove IN a
walk most OF the time, and stopping ire-
quently sent light ahead to examine the
road. We met wagon load OF pork IN a
di CHI, which our COACHES narrowly escaped,
and the shouting in the dark backwards and
fcrwa ards. was not only animating but FORE
boding of harm TO ourselves. We were
three hours in going six miles. At last
our coach, the hindmost. slipped on sid
ling place, and just then striking bridge,
was whirled from il, turning summerset,
and striking on it's top on the ground, about
three feet below, aud the top of the coach
describing a circular movement of ten or
fifteen feet. One got bloody cash in his
head another his collar bone broken and
torn loose from his shoulder blade, and
Judge Grant was severely injured in the
shoulder, some Of the muscles being probably
ierked from their sockets. Another was
got out raving like maniac, ignorant OF
whence he came from or whittier he was
going, or the name of his friend. 4 Ger
man named Hetzell was kind enough to
take care of the wounded. DR.. Fountain, a
skillful physician, of Davenport, arrived
about half-past four o'clock, in the
morning. and attended to the wants of ibr'
iavaids.

A shrswd Doctor.

The Philadelphia Sunday Mercury tells
a good story, to the effect that white man
named Jennings undertook few nights
since to give colored physician from st.
Domingo, named D.. Charles lie Brun, resi-
ding in that cty,a severe drubbing Tor NAL
practice. 1t seems that Jennings had been
troubled with dyspepsia, and had apple to
DR.. lie Brun for 4 cure; but AFTER taking the
doctors physc for month, he found him
self macl worse, told the doctor so, and
then quarrel, and the assault just spoken
Of followed.

his money tout suite. Sare, dat is de bar

So il no vunder be got worse"
Jennings replied to this: II took his pills.
sir, according to directions. for five days,
doubling every day. as he told me, and loun d
on the fifth day that the dose amounted TO
thirty-two pills; and then began to figure
up wha, it would come to in forty days, and
found that Ishoud have to take at least hall
a OK"
..No matter il it was bushel.' said DR..
lie Brun "ze pill is vegitabeel, jus same as

/, was plain enough that Jennings did not
go according to contract, and so he had n ,
preteneefor as king Dr.. IL Brun to re.und.
The doctor promised to say nothing about
the assault and battery if Jennings would
perscyere in the purchase of the medicine;
bat Jennings preferred the operation OF law
to that OF ,hysic, and was accordingly bound
over to answer tor the outrage he had COM
mitted.
The dyspeptic individual, however, 10 say
ing that 'swhsn he began to figure up What

lowed the sable doctors pres eription, and
found that he would have had to take al

Ferry Charter.

Der and Frizzell are trying to defraud the
city out Of its ferry privileges, BY securing
to themselves ferry charter. We trust
that charter will never be granted individ-
uals BY either the Legislature Of Illinois or
Iowa, a. oil the profits thus sccruing should

coffin recently discovered, containing the
mortal remains Of Bosset. inferred 40 years
since, was opened on the l4th inst. The
head was found covered with four folds OF
linen, which was soon cut away with pair
of scissors, and the features were then seen
They were much less changed than might
have been expected, considering that the
body had been buried one century and
half. The head was leaning little to the
right. like that of a person asleep and the
left part of the face was exceedingly we'll
preserved and at once reminded the look
ers-on of Rigaud's portrait of the deceased.
The mouth was open, the eyes shut, the
nose somewhat fallenin, the hair white, and
the moustachios visible. The skull ad
been sawed across, SO as TO allow the brain
to be taken away, in order to let an aromat-
ic substance be placed in its stead. An
artist, who was present, took sketch ofthe
face as it appeared when the coffin was OPP
ened.
