The opelousas Railroad, Etc.

I'VE made a flying trip to the Crescent City last
week pia the Dpelousas Railroad. The road Is now
completed to the Bay and is now in first rate order.
The company are at work at the Bay making such
every facility will be afforded to despatch, and to
accommodate the public. There is an immense
amount of travel by way of the road since the line oil
Texas steamers have commenced running. some
little dissatisfaction was created rev days SINCE
upon the landing of the steamer from galveston al
the R,eu with $50 passengers-there not being sui
sfcent accommodation on the express train for the
passengers 1t will never happen again, we learn as
en,De provision has been made by the company, to
carry all who may come--they having placed an aa
ditonal number of cars upon the road.
We have been informed that $2,0OO,O00 worth OF
bonds have been ordered to be issued by the company
and that they intend to commence the road at Ber-
wick City and continue it on
There is difference Of opinion as to the policy OF
starting at Berwick, but we cannot see that it will
make any difference in the end me great increase
in Inc patronage Of the road will soon enable the
company to carry it through The beneficial effects
which have already been the result of its construction
and completion thus far are too well known ana 700

that S52 900 worth of lots could have been disposed

too from the Crescent City. Upon some OF these ot
buildings are now being erected and in short TIME
Brashear will be some place.
The courteous and agreeable department OF MI. Ney
the conductor, towards passengers, has gained 10
him the respect and good opinion OF the travelling

TIE Next GOVERNOR OF UTAH-A dispatch OF
the l3th, from Washington, says:
Much interest excited here by the arrival OF Hon
W. W. Drummond, late Judge OF Utah Territory VINO
is now a guest Of Browns Hotel. The Judge, who is
the Conserved Of all observers" is in his personal APP
pearance very different from what the community
have generally conceived In height he is not quite
six feet tall He is well built possessing evidently
good Constitution with an iron will and fixed de-
Termination Of purpose. find that he is of Scotch,
Irish genealogy reared and educated in the State OF
Virginia. He removed to Illinois nineteen years since,
and is now in his 3Tth year.
To-day it seems to be well understood that Judge
Drumnond will be rendered the Office of Governor of
Utah, in case Major McCulloch declines, and have
it from the Judge himself that he will accept upon
condition that Gen Harvey is sent into that country
with force sufficient to enable the officers to enforce
the laws. In case Gen. Harvey and Judge Drum
mond go to Utah backed by tine Government, the
Mormons will yield or be compelled to find refuge il
another country. They are both cautious but boll
men.

ANEcDoTE OF BuRKE.-The following affecting in
cident, related by Mrs Burke to friend, took place
few months before MI. Burke's death, in 1877: A
feeble old horse which had been great avorite with
the junior Burke, and his constant companion in all
rural journeyings and sports when both were alike
healthful and vigorous, was now in old age, and on
the death of his master turned out to take the run OF
the park for the remainder of his life at ease, with
strict inunctions the servants that he should neither
be ridden nor moested by any one. While walking
one day in solitary musng, Mr.. Burke perceived this
worn out old servant come close up to him, and at
length, after some moments spent in viewing him,
followed, and deliberately rested his head upon his
BOSOM The sngularity of the action itself, the re-
membrance of his dead son, his late master, who
occupied much of his thoughts at all times and the
apparent attachment and almost intelligence of the
poor BRUTE as he could sympathize with his inward
sorrow, rushing at once into his mind, totally over
powered his rmness, and throwing his arms over his
neck he wept long and very bitterly.

more than three words during the evening. The lat

NATURAL Ice CAVE AT DEBORAH, IowA.--The
mouth of the cave is at the foot of high ledge Of
limestone rock set in high bluff or bank of the up
per Iowa river, north of the town. The entrance to
the is from the side Of the hill about forty feet
above the level of the river.
An opening of about ten feet high and some six or
eight feet wide, forms the entrance, which descends
into the rock at angle of about fortyve degrees.
The extreme length Of this cave has never yet been
explored but it has been penetrated to distance of
three hundred feet in various directions In the win
ter season this cave is warm and dry but in the
mer fall and spring it is bitterly cold and the tenn
perature of cold increases to an almost nsupportabe

by the continual drppings from the top and sides and

time in the spring, summer and fall, any one, with
little labor could cut down several tons of the purest
crystal ice in day. and inst as soon almost as it is
taken out it is replaced by fresh ce At party held
on the side of the hill by the DEBORAH people, on the
4th Of July last over eighty barrels of fine solid ice
were taken out, and scarcely any impression was
made on the quantity in the cave. g
The most singular feature of the cave is, that the
hotter the weather becomes outside the more intensely
cold the atmosphere becomes in the cave. Persons
going into the cave in the warm season are obliged to
put on the heaviest clothing and even then become

Rev. VIM. Lee The solemn thing was about conclu-
ded, the last hymn was read, and the choir was about
to strike up when they were suddenly annoyed by
discordant and very unmuscal sounds and kicks,
which it seemed obvious were going on inside the COT

least half Of the congregation broke for the door, and
the balance were about to follow suit, when the Rev.
Mr. Lee descended from the pulpit, andin loud voice
ordered the coffin to be speedily opened, which was
done, when it was found that Wat. was not only alive
