A CHASaK or Tusx-Two years ago we
prophecied what has proved true, that the
bridge at Rock Island would be a great injury
to that city and Davenport when Completed
But the papers on both sides of the River were
- pleased with the bridge as ever boy was with
whistle or top. Every other article in the local
was about the bridge-the magnificent bridge
1.-THE wonderful bridge, the bridge over the
Father of WatersI 1t seems, however, that
they Are not so well pleased as they anticipated.
1t Is not just the thing We cut the following
from the Rock Island Argus:
The RAILROAD BRlDoE.-Y esterday, VIC pub
lished the account of . meeting in st. Louis
TO take measures to remove the railroad bridge
from the Mississippi river at this place. To-day
We publish the proceedings Of the adjourned
meeting. The movement seems to be general
In St. Louis and led by her most active business
men. What it's effect viii be We cannot say
What it ought to be is very easy to tell The
bridge is nuisance and ought to be removed
Its ruinous effect upon every interest connected
with the river is already apparent, and upon
every town ON the river. To this city and Day.
export It is very serious injury.

FACTS FOR THE CURIoUs-Mr. Peed of this
vicinity slaughtered hog last week in the vi
cera of which was found round stick of tim
Der 81 inches in length, and an inch and seven
eighths in circumference, and / of an inch in
diameter, on which were several knots Or pro-
jections where limbs had been broken of, from
to of an inch long. The hog, Mr.. Peed
says, some months ago exhibited signs of weak
ness in the loins as afflicted with kidney worm
Now the question very naturally arises lst.-
why did the hog swallow the stick 2d-how
did it swallow it, and Sd, how did it live with
such piece of timber or indigestible matter in
its bowels :? We read in the Scriptures of de-
wills or evil spirits that We're cast out of GER
tain individual entering into the ''herd of swine"
and they straight way ran down steep place
and drowned themselves. But this swine with
nine inch, rough stick in it, lived and appar.
emily did well. And furthermore Mr.. Pced III.
forms us that in the bladder Of this hog was a
stone as large as his thumb. A hog with the
gravel! Explain the freak and the whole mys-
tery who can?

project of considerable magnitude is now
on foot Of making Ship Canal from Lake HUI.
ron to Ontario, through Canada West, thereby
opening up the great West to nearer and
cheaper foreign market than at present enjoyed.
This Canal will be about one hundred miles in
length, will pass through good section Of
country, and is entirely feasible in regard to its
construction. The cost is estimated at $l2, 0OO,.
600, a tribe more than the original cost of the
Erie Canal, which SO long bore the brunt of
ridicule, and the title of Clinton's Ditch.
One of the advantages Of this project, is
shortening the distance to Great Britain by the
Lakes and the St. Lawrence, over the present
roate by New York or Boston. Hamilton, at the
head of Lake Ontario, being as near Liverpool
as New York, and the time Of transit some eight
days less; with numerous others of not less
note. Should this project be carried into exc
ton, itwould open up another great thorough
fare to the West, and give it an impetus in its
rapid strides towards an enyiable greatness to
which it is fast tending.

An HonestFace.

An Honest Face. s.s
The St. Louis Inteligencer in speaking Of
Kansas affairs generally, and Gov. .Gearys late
dispatch to Washington in particular, expresses
itself as follows:
Much Efforts made to create prejudice against
Gov. Geary, for trying to overrule and defeat
judicial decision of Z. S. Territorial Court
sConstitutionaly and technically, Gov Geary
may have been wrong in this matter; but practi-
cally, he was right The conduct Of Lecompte
in holding Free State men in Jail, without bail.
on charges of manslaughter, and releasing on
hadeas corpus, pro-siavery man guilty of muir
der, was outrageous beyond expression. Such
Infamous Partially endangered the public peace.
DESTROYED all respect for the officers of law. and
was calculated to set every mans heart intent
upon seifprotection, even to the extent of bloody
revolution. Gov. Geary was right in making
issue at once, with such q dangerous disturber
Of the peace, and demanding his immediate re-
moyal. President Pierce has done two oppor-
tune deeds in Kansas. l. The appointment of
Gov. Geary. 2. The removal Of Judge Lee
compile.
Gov. Geary has unquestionably proved him
self the right man for Kansas. If he, or some
such man, had been appointed to his response
bic Office at the first, there would never have
happened the horrible feuds, pillages and mur-
ders which have embittered the North and
South against each other, and sickened the civil
izec world with their unnatural atrocities.

II CHRIrAAs passed of quietly and about
a. usual The Juveniles had q good time, being
well stuffed with nuts, candies, and sweet things
And many older were good deal in the same
condi ton, eating, drinking and making merry
in . manner congenial to their several tastes,
some faring sumptuously on turkeys and deli
tactics, imbibing their wines and brandies, and
others on coarser fare and drinking their poison
GUS whlskey and fermented liquors. One party
passing the day in social chit-chat at family re.
unions, and the other in noisy broils rafting par
cies and shooting matches. The day was an unu.
sually pleasant one, and many, We doubt not
enjoyed it in rational manner, celebrating i,
appropriately.
