GRAND RAILROAD CELEBRATION!

Probably one of the greatest and grandest
Railroad Celebrations which ever took place
in this country, will come off the coming summer,
and we are gratifed to learn that St. Paul is the
point designated the terminus of the festivities.
We hope as soon the programme is arranged,
that no efforts will be spared on the part of our
citizens to give our guests n cordial welcome.-
The information we gather from the following
letter from gentleman of standing in Dubuque.
He says:
''Look out for another crowd in your city about
the 1st Of May. The illinois Central Railroad
Company will then have their Road completed to
Dubuque, and they are issuing 5000 invitations
for celebration at that time. The guests will
be taken over the whole road from Chicago to
Cairo, and from Cairo to St. Paul. 1t is intend
ed to be the greatest thing ever seen, and will
throw the Rock Island Railroad Celebration far
in the shadc.''
We have only to add, that we trust that the
arrangements now in of perfection, will be
fully carried out, and if they are, it will be great
dav for Minnesota.

MAD Docs AND THE MAD SroNE.-We learn
that some two or three weeks ago, n mad dog bit
quite number of cattle and hogs in tho vcin-
ity of Newman's Mill, on the Head of Platte, and
was killed in a fight with other dogs, who Of
course forfeited their lives. Several cattle went
mad and died. Near Mineral Point, We hear two
children were bitten. We have always consider
ed the idea of there being any virtue in what is
commonly called the Ssmad stone," very absurd,
but the evidence seems too strong to resist. The
mad stone is substance found, very rarely in the
nav of deer and its virtue consists in its power
of adhering to a wound made by any mad animal
until it becomes saturated with the poison, when
it falls Off By soaking it in warm water the
poison is taken out, and the stone can be applied
again, and so on until it refuses to adhere, when
the patient is cured. It will not adhere to any
ordinary wound. A Mr.. Chapman from near
Warren, Ill.,, having been bitten by mad dog, a
few days ago, visited MIR. Ellis, residing near El
lenboro, who owns the stone, and has returned
home entirely cured! The stone adhered to his
hand about twenty times.--PlattriAe american.

Bill PooLE.-The New York Tribune gives
the following brief history of this individual:

MIR. Poole, the deceased, was native of Sus-
sex county, New Jersey. He came to the city ut
an early age, and has been since that time resi-
dent of the Ninth Ward. Helcarned the business
of a butcher, and has conducted that business in
the Washington Market for number of yehrs.-
He was about thirty -four years of age, a man Of
middling statute, of good appearance he was
we'll dressed and gentlemanly He was popular
among his acquaintance, always conducting him
self peaceably towards them. He was seldom,
if ever, known to insult any person who was not
a reputed fighting man, and with that class of
men he occasionally had conflicts. He has been
known as political operator and a sort of con-
tractor for carrying primary meetings and man
aging conventions. 1t is said that he has FIR a
few years past mostly controlled the Eighth and
Ninth Wards, and has been an active member of
Whig Committees at the Broadway House. besides
excrting considerable influence in City politics.
For some months he has been keeping a drinking
place known as the Bank Exchange, at the corner
of Howard st. and Broadway.
Poole was evidently an active leader in the A.
merican movement, and this partially accounts for
the extraordinary sensation produced by his death
in city where the murder Of human being is
almost a daily occurrence.

PRocREss OF REroRx IN NEw YoRk.-The Tri-

the arrests in the City were nearly 900 on the
first eight Sundays in 1855 there were 33S. Last
year the Sunday arrests averaged over a h1udred;
this year less than forty five. Last year the po-
lice we're lax this year they were strict, and ar
rests are twice as numerous In proportion to the

is worth more than volumes or rhetoric, swe

not the advantages of 'sgood society" as it is
called, to school themselves in all its fantastic
rules and ceremonies, and only founded in reason
and good sense, and not upon the artificial regu-
