BREACH OF PROMISE CASE At PApucAu.-A
breach OF promise case was tried at Paducah,
Ky, on Thursday. between Miss Smith of
Cairo, and Mr.. John Allard, Of Paducah, which
resulted in a verdict Of $4,000 damage for the
LADY. The defendant introduced evidence for
the purpose Of injuring her character, but the
jury took occasion to say, in rendering their
verdict, that they did not believe the evidence
introduced for that purpose. The case created
much excitement, and at one time it was threat
ened TO mob one OF the defendants witnesses.

We learn from Burlington, that the Railroad
Company have determined to commence work
on this end Of their road this year. This is a
| matter OF great satisfaction to the public here,
which will not on its part fail to lend encour-
agement to the enterprise. Hundreds and
thousands Of dollars, we have no doubt will be
donated the company in this way, that ether
wise would not. The good policy Of the Com
pany is evidently all in favor Of such project.
For ourself, we have never been able to see
any reason, for the assertion that the road must
be gradually extended through from the East,
unless the Company were unable to adopt such
other course. Every consideration of interest,
the pride and self-respect OF tie corporation
are enlisted in the completion of the road ut
the earliest possible time. This will be accel-
Grated by extending the line east from its
western termini, at least fifty per cent. besides
the use Of the road in the meantime, being
vastly more profitable. It will advance the
improvement and business Of the country here,
on which the success of the road will depend,
for the next ten years, at least fifty per cent.
II cannot fail to secure to this road, the dis
tinguished position OF the great northern trunk.
line of rail way, from East to West-that might
and would otherwise be put in jeopardy BY de-
lay. Moreover, its early completion will enable
the company to realize those advantages pecu-
niariIy, that have always been supposed, to
pertain to this route, to much greater extent,
let its permanent success be what it may.
We are informed that apprehepsions are en-
tertained by the Railroad Company, that ties
for the road cannot be conveniently obtained
in this part Of the country. This 10 = great
error; NO part of the western country is better
furnished in this respect than this immediate
region. Abundance Of hard timber, such as
burr oak, red oak, black oak, with some white
oak, is to be found on this side OF the Missouri
river, while thousands Of the same abound in
various portions OF Mills County, Iowa. There
Is but little coubt that ties can be got at this
end of the road as cheap II not cheaper than
at the other.-Plattsmouth Jeffersonian.

Misunderstanding in Iowa-Boots, shoes
and Leather
The "Printer & Binder" Cedar Rapids, asks
the oft.repeated question Why cannot the
people Of Iowa manufacture their own boots,
shoes, cotton and wooden goods, and all other
articles made in this country, As well as import
them from Massachusetts, or New York And
then goes on to preach the following good prac.
tcal sermon from the text suggested BY the in.
terrogatory
"Let us take the articles Of boots and shoes.
First, large tanner sends 70 this region and
buys up all the green hides that can be found
