GF Our worthy friend, Mir. Rapheal R. keliog, esq, of Batesville showed us some thing the other day we never saw before. IL was not striped snake, curious bug, Texas frog, or any thing after that sort, but baauti- iul specimen of veritable iron, dug out of the bowels of Lawrence county, Arkansas, and smelted and hammered out by one of her most enterprising citizens, Dr. Bevens, proprie- tor of the lawrence county iron works. This specimen has the fine silky feel, and the smooth hue texture of genuine cast steel. It eau be seen any day at the drug store of Cooper &, Owen. Let the mechanics of Arkansas send their orders to the Lawrence county Iron works Ii they want good iron and want to patronize and build up their own State.-Jack- SonpOrt Union.

STAYED Cows.-It is nearly thirty years since gentleman in New Hampshire callel the at tention of the public to the subject of spayed cows, for the purpose of having them produce an uninterrupted flow of milk during their lives.
 This gentleman's communications were based upon facts-communicatons made to him by a Mr. Wynn, of Matches. and his own observa. tions while staying with MT Wynn who had two COWS then in milk, which had been opera ted upon about three years before, and he stated to this gentleman that they have never varied in the quantity of milk during that time, ex. cept when such variation was caused bv d change of food, and gave it as his opinion that they would continue that flow of milk as long as they lived.
 l have since that time seen it stated in some agricultural paper, the full flow of milk not only continued, but that the quality was much improved.
 If the foregoing statements are correct. how desirable it would be for families which are so situated that they can keep but one COW, to have her in this situation.
 Mr. Wynn recommended that the proper time for performing this operation was about three weeks after producing their third calf, as they then, as general rule, produce their greatest quantity of milk, which quantity might be continued, with proper food, as long as the COW continues in good health.
 MT. Wynn stated that he was induced to make this experiment upon his cows by the perusal of English magazines which contained accounts of the plow- matches in the southern counties of England, where most of the prizes were awarded to plowmen who worked spayed heifers.
 Many of our readers may recollect the high and other papers a few years since, respecting drove of young beef cattle taken to Brighton market by George Shaffer, of Scottville, Nun. roe county, N. Y. They were pronounced the finest drove of young beef cattle ever driven to that market, and they were spayed heifers. N Y. Day BOok.

From the Boston Transcript, July g Southern Pacific Railroad.

Mr. EiitOi: Among the railroad enterprises that from time to time have been presented to the public, that of which we propose to speak is. perhaps, the most remarkable.
 The provisions of its charter are so extraor- dnary as to appear almost fabulous.
 The great want by Texas of railroad through it's cotton growing districts was the in- ducement, no doubt, for offering such terms, and from all that we can learn they are more than sufficient to insure its construction at an early date, through Texas.
 The road commences at Shreveport on the Red river, Louisiana, and is intended to pass through the northerly portion of the State of Texas in very direct line to Fl Paso, and from thence ultimately to San Diego on the Pacific, distant 1921 miles entire.
 Length of road through Texas 783 miles Length of road through Territory of
 New Mexico 570 Length of road through California 260 "
 1921 miles The great feature of this enterprise is the grant of land made by Texas of eight millions and seventeen thousand acres to the company and six million dollars for every mile complet. ed. In other words 1t gi yes to the company eight sections of land for every mile of railroad actually completed by it and ready for use.- The depth of three miles on each side of the road is reserved for the use of the company and the State each being entitled to alternate sections. By an act of the Legislature, passed in 1854, the company became entitled to eight sections more, to be located on any of the pub- lie lands, making in all sixteen sections of land to the mile, or gh millions seventeen thou sand acres of land for the whole line of road For every mile of road completed, the com pany become owners of 10000 acres of land l. is assumed that this grant gives the enter prise a self-susaning power. The estimated cost of tie road through Texas is twenty mil lions of dollars including engines, cars, etc.
 It appears that on the 18th of last March the whole number of shares issued was 446, 528 upon which $2,474,790 appear to have been paid. Since that date, large amount oi stock has been taken in the south and south west.
 The conditions of the charter have been met, and recently a contract has been made to make sixty. eight miles of the rod, so that 1t now appears that the company are on the high Toad of prosperity and success.
 The work is in the hands of southerners, and so far as we can learn, they are determin- ed to carry it out.
 The provisions of the charter granted by Texas have been fulfilled by the company, so far as it was necessary for the purpose of se- curing its great privileges; and the reader will infer from the fact, the shares are only $5 each, (aud no after payment to be called for,) that the munificent grant of land is depended on to complete the road.
 The President of the Company, is George S. Yerger, esq, of Mississippi-a man of high political and social standing.
 The headquarters of the company are at New Orleans, and a transfer office at New York;
