ing of Blessengame and his son, who shot Capt.
Callahan andJohnson
! "The citizens in the immediate vicinity,
learning this dreadful tragedy, Immediately
| rallied and arrested WUodson Btessengame, his
wife, and son Calvin as the perpetrators of this
horrible dred, and committed them to the charge
of guard. As the accounts spread through the
surrounding country the people became more
and more excited against the murderers, until at
last they determined to take the law into their
own hands, and cut off all possibility of the
guilty watches escaping. To carry out this
discrimination hundred or more citizens took
the prisoners from the custody of the guard
they decided to shoot the father as the speediest
mode of obtaining justice, which was done
the son attempted to escape, and he too was
shot"

MoRMo n, EMIGRAHT HTs.--The ship Enoch Train,
from Liverpool, landed at boston on 'Wednes-
day morning five hundred and thirty ernigrants
all bound for the Mormon land of promise,
Utah. A few of them were from South Africa
so far have the Mormon missionaries pushed
their travels in their zeal to make pEoselytes.
The Journal, who with others made visit to
the vessel soon after her arrival, says;
These members of the church Of Latter-Day
Saints are under the charge Of four Mormon ell
ders, who make all needful arrangements for
their transportation to Salt Lake Valley. The
chief elder is a young man, apparently about
thirty years of age, shrewd and energetic look
ing. The entire expense of their journey from
Liverpool to Iowa CITY is only go, or something
less than forty five dollars. The MOrmons have
an agent in nearly all the large cities and in
ev. ry coutry in the world, and their proselytes
are collected by them at general rendezvous.
This, we believe, is the first cargo OF Nor
mon emigrants that ever arrived at this port.
They will land this morning at eight o'clock
and will start Immediately on their long over
land Journey, by the way Of New York and the
Erie railroad. After reaching Iowa City they
will perform the remainder OF their journey tc
Salt Lake BY means of OK teams and the like
conveyances"

The Dayton ana Michigan Railroad

This improvement, so long looked for, and so
long deferred, arp 'ars still to be an object OF
interest with many of our readers Perhaps the
fact is not to be wondered at, when we reflect
that the people of Wood county are involved in
its affairs to the amount of eighty thousand dol.
lars, not to mention the snug sum of fifteen
thousand dollers already paid out in interest up
on their bonds. 1t will, therefore, be a subject
Of qualification to hear that such steps have now
been taken as to put its speedy completion be-
yond doubt
Among the many plans proposed to accom-.
plish this,cbject, our readers will remember that
in effortwas made at the last session of the leg
islature to procure law authorizing Railroad
Companies to lease their Roads. The object OF
the company in attempting to procure this law
was to put their Road into the hands of lessees,
who, in consideration of the exclusive use of it
for term of years, would agree to proceed at
once and put it in running order. The proposed
law, however, was desperately opposed by repre-
sentatives residing cn or the southern line
of the road, which ie already completed, and
who seem to consider it matter of local in
terest that the road should proceed no further
The legislature adjourned without acting upon
the measure.
This project having failed, meeting of direct
ors was called on the first of Nay inst.-a set
tlement concluded with Msssrs Doolittle s
Shoemaker, 1.-THE old contractors) and the bal
ance of the work re-let to Messrs. Gross. Mayt
& Co. The terms of the contract require tn
road to be completed and put in running orde

Messrs. Gross Mayo & Co. receive for their ser
vices the sum of 100000 in stock, and $500 0Ot
in 2nd mortgage bonds on the road.
The letting of sub-contrects by the latter gen
tlemen will take place on the 18th day of Jun
next. Offers will BE- received at Perrysburg

in value since the passage by Congress of. the
bill granting to Iowa fifteen hundred thousand
acres of the public domain to assist in the con-
struction OF four parallel lines of railroads in
that State, reaching from the eastern TO the west

mau who reported the BILL remarked that it was
the intention of the committee to report similar
bills for other States until six millions of acres
are thus disposed Of The President has not

will divide the spoils among themselves. Un
doubtedly this is thu plau by which the differ
