Our Eastern Railroad Connexions.

The Pioneer announces that certain Cana
dian gentlemen of influence all, or most all,
connected with railroad operations, arrived
in St. Paul on Monday last, accompanied by
their families. Among these visitors may be
named j. Young, Esq, President of the
Great Western Canada Railroad Company {;
Mr.. BRYDGEs, Managing Director of the
Great Western, and President of the Detroit
and Milwaukee Road Mr.. THOMAS, High
Sheriff of Canada West; Mr.. REYNOLDS Of
Hamilton, and H. w. WALKER, of Detroit.
They came on the first train from Detroit to
Grand Haven, and thence to Milwaukee by
steamer, so that this route, via. the La Crosse
railway, may be considered in full operation.
1t is, by several hours, the most expeditions
route to New York City, and must command
very great proportion of the travel to the
East. The entire distance from Detroit to
Milwaukee can now be perform ed in thirteen
or fourteen hours. The visit of these gentle
men is understood to be one both of pleasure
and business. 1t is to observe the natural
capacity and business growth of our some
what famous young State, and its northern
capital and to make such arrangements
with the American Companies connecting
with the Great Western, as to unfailing
connexions at the various points along the
routes, and as to attention to the convenience
and comfort of passengers, as will secure the
business and travel of our thriving State.

The Philadelphia correspondent of the New
York Tribune writes as follows in regard to
these great moral reformers
Your authorities ought to send deputa-
ton here to wi ness a good rousing fire, and
see for themselves how complete damper
the steam engine is on such an occasion. At
midnight on Friday destructive fire broke
out in three story brick building at the cor
ner of Shipper and Swanson streets, occupied
by cabinet makers. Two adjoining houses
Of no great value were burnt Thence it ex-
tended to the Mariners Church, but here the
steam engines interposed veto and evident
IDENTIFY stopped what, with nothing but hand
engines, would have been heavy loss of pro-
perty. Two of these machines sucked water
from the river cl Sc by, and poured an ston-
ishing deluge on all the infammable neigh
borhood. They undoubtedly saved property
equal to six times their cost. The whole vi
clnity was made up of combustibles which no.
thing but steam power could have saved
Hereafter it would seem as if a sweeping fire
could never be repeated in this city. In less
than year some twelve of these powerful
machines will be in use among US. They meet
with high favor from citizens, firemen and in
surance officers. They are moreover great

The Delays in the Atlantic TELEGRAPH,

The New York Times has cold water ar
ticle upon the delay in putting to work the
Atlantic Telegraph for business purposes.
One leading cause is attributed to the lealou-
sizes of the scientific corps: We quote:
We have, in fact, high authority for stating
hat Mr.. Fields retirement from the con-
troll was due to his foreknowledge of out
break and riot among the electricians and
their partsans, which were to follow the COM
plctOn of the line.
Who is MIR. Whitehouse, that all mankind
must stand in silent anticipation of his fiat I?
Let us admit that his services, in the early
development of the enterprise were valu-
able; but they have been well compensa-
| ted ; and if they were not, there is certainly
no proportion between them and this prOvck-
ing return, cXacted at the expense of univer-
sal patience.
If it be true that the working of the great
wonder is to be in the hands of Engineer
Bright, whose incompetency delayed the sub
mersion Of the cable twelvemonth and of
Electrician Whitehouse, whose apparatus is
known to be inferior to the inventions of Mr..
Hughes, and who yet postp mes the active
operation of the line by his fruitless expert
ments; and if these gentlemen are so retain
ed in order to have the management of the
work exclusively in English hands, the sooner
we open second cable, aud give it to an
American Field to drop, with the aid of the
paying out machinery of the American en-
gineer, and work it with new instruments of
of our American Hughes, the better it will be
for America and the world.

New York Central Coming Down a Peg

New York Central Coming Down Peg.
The difficulty between the New York and
Erie and New York Central Roads has now
taken shape which indicates an amicable
arrangement. The two Presidents, Mr.. Mo-
ran and Mr.. Corning, have agreed on the
basis of an arrangement, which is to be sub
United to the Boards of the two Companies
The Tribune says:
The principal points agreed on are, the re-
duction of speed upon the N. Y. Central to
u miles in summer, and "a miles in winter,
ma&ing the summer passage in 165 hours
the arrangement of the cattle transportation
question, giving the Erie chance to obtain a
fair proportion of that traffic the absolute
abolition OF the free passes, upon which ques-
ton MIR. Moran is the ultraest of the ultra
and the appointment of referee to whom all
complaints of violations of this agreement are
to be submitted, with authority to fine the
offending road 81 200 for each offense and
require the discharge of the officer commit

wllltully. At a meeting held at the office of
Duncan, Sherman & Co., this morning. at
which Messrs. Moran and Corning, Mr.. Sloan
OF the Hudson River Road, Mr. Stone of the
Cleveland, Painesvillc and Ashtabula Road,
and Mr.. S. L. NJ. Barlow, the above points
were assented to by the parties, and will be
at once submitted for acceptance to the Di-
lectors OF the two Roads. There was mani
tested throughout sincere disposition to set

appear that the Central has been most con-

A Coat he didn't Bargain For.

Most of our readers will recollect the elope-
ment case, short time since, in which gay
young lark, named Haskell, from Dyersyile,
ran off with the wife of one of our old cti-
zens. The husband followed them, found his
wife in Dubuque with her paramount, and
brought her back home. The lover followed
them, and had the impudence to 60 back to
the house of the man he had injured, and
claim his hospitality.
Last Monday night, party of about Is
Inen went to the house, and entered by taking
the door off the hinges. The old gentleman,
being little hard of hearing, did not awake,
but Haskell went down to see what was the
row, when three of the men hauled him out
of the house, and after taking him about forty
rods, they gave him nice coat of tar and
feathers. After doing this, he was required
to run the gauntlet to the stable where his
horse was, as they had previously prepared
themselves with good switches, which they
laid over his back with will he must have
done some tall running. They told him never
to be caught in this region again. He has
not been since.-Dacoroh (IoDa) Gazette.

The Whitewater wis., Register brings
to US the particulars of the death from
hydrophobia in that village, which we have
before alluded to. The deceased, EDWARD
JAMES, owned a pointer slut with couple oil
puppies, which had been afflicted with the
dog dlstemper, and some fears were enter
tanned o. hydrophobia. For that reason he
undertook to kill the puppies with knife,
when one of them snapped at and bit him.
On Saturday evening of week before last, he
was seized with violent pain in the arm
followed by unmistakable symptoms of hy-
drophobia. The Register says:
"During the first few spasms he is said to
have barked like dog. His spasms were
frequent, and grew more and more severe up
to the time of bis DEATH and those that saw
him during bis sickness, say that his sufferngs
were horrible. During his lucid intervals he
begged OF his friends to kill him and put him
out OF his misery. When his paroxysms Wis.,
tied him, it required the united energies of
several men to keep himself from doing vio-
fence to himself or Others. He snapped at
one OF the watchers, making an indention
sulhclent to leave marks of his teeth, but not
TO break the skin. The unfortunate man was
only twenty-five years old, and wife and
one Child mourn his untimcly DEATH

ALMOST FIRE.-There came near being
disastrous fire in the large stone building OF
Mr.. John McKusick, on Main street, on last
Tuesday evening The third floor is occu-
pied as Odd Fellows and Masonic Hall, and
on that evening the Hall was occupied by
some other association, the name or character
If which we do not know. During the night
fire was discovered in the hatch way, leading
from the third to the second floor, Which is
occupied by the Register of Deeds. Mr.
Yorks, the Register, discovered the fire when
it burned throgh into his room, and sue
ceeded in extinguishing it without material
injury.
CULTIVATED WILD PLUMs-We have here
tofore urged upon our Minnesota readers the
propriety of cultivating the wild or native
plum, which is found in great abundance in
most parts of our State. The difficulty, and
in some cases the impossiblity Of cultivating
successfully the less hardy fruits, renders such
a course the more necessary.
A few days since our friend, d. P. Lyman,
presented us basket of cultivated wild plums
which, in SIZE and flavor, were but little in
fcror to the finest varieties of the cultivated
fruit. A few years of care in transplanting
pruning and grating, will bring this native
fruit to great perfection, and may be made
one OF the luxuries of our climate Don't
build a house, or break a piece of ground
however small, without transplanting and
carefully cullivating some native plum trees.
In three years time they will return more
than three per cent. per month for the time
and labor expended.
SwEDE EMIGRATIoN.-The Sweies' are be-
ginning to form very numerous and impor-
iant element in tie population of Minnesota.
In this county there are number of quite
extensive settlements, which are being aug
mented from year to year by immigration
from their native land.
In Chisago county, Immediately north of
us, they are much more numerous. AT Chi
sage, or .5wede Lake, there is already set
tlement of three hundred families. They re
an agricultural people-are industrious, fru-
gal and orderly, and make most excellent cit
liens. Last Wednesday evening the steamer
Northern Belle brought up company of
this class of immigrants, numbering over one
hundred. They are mostly relatives and &C
quantanccs of those at Swede Lake, and
they design Locating in the same vicinity
We have never seen a more respectable APP
pearng class of migrants. We understand
another company, numbering from three to
four hundred, is on the way, and will reach
this city in few days. They, too, will To-
cate in Chisago county, where there is said
to be large tracts of most excellent farming
lands still subject to presumption. Such a
class Of migration should be encouraged.
They at once add wealth to the State.

AFlDute to Young American Engineer.

From report in the New York Courier. of
the congratulatory speech made by Mr.. Per-
rine at the celebration, in Brooklyn, of the
laying OF the Atlantic cable, we find the fol-
lowing:
edward the conclusion of Mr.. Perrine's
speech, he paid an eloquent tribute to the
personal character of Capt. Hudson, to the
mechanical ability of Mr. Everett the Engi-
neer of the Niagara, and after citing the fact
that the British Government had spent fifty
thousand dollars for the contrivances to nav
out the cable, and that Mr.. Everett for fif:
teen hundred dollars, constructed machine
so much superior, that the former was aban-
doned and Mr.. Everett's machine adopted !;
and he proposed that the crowd should repair
to the residence of Mr.. Everett, corner of
Montague and Clinton streets, and give him
lime cheers. The suggestion was adopted"

Hamline University, Red Wing, Mimi

We have received the Annual Catalogue of
Hamine University, situated at Red Wing
printed by Hubbard & Meredith. of that
city, which is as neat a specimen of typ
ography, of the kind, as has ever been done
in Minnesota. We learn from the Catalogue
that there are IA students at this University,
and 8 Professors and Teachers 1t is estab-
lished on firm basis, and hourishing well.
We make the following extract from the cat
aogue:
The endowment consists at present ofabout
$4,000. OF this, Bishop Hamline gave
$4,000, and the people of Red Wing $40, 900.
There are no scholarships for sale now, and
there will be none. The dependence at pre-
sent is on the tuition fees. The plan to in
crease the endowment and make tuition less,
is to appeal directly to the piety and liberal
ity of men of means, who can and ought to
endow che institution munficently for God
and the country's sake. If this does not sue
coed, then the trustees have utterly mscalcu-
lated western benevolence and enterprise.

NEW YORK, aug. 81.
A private letter from London on the 10Th
inst. states that the Hughes Machines were
placed on the line of the Electric Telegraph
Company between London and Liverpool on
the 18th inst. and had greatly astonished the
Telegraph Managers by their wonderful per-
formances, working with the most perfect re-
gularity at the rate of from thrty-fve to for
ty words minute between the cities not
withstanding heavy rain which had lasted
two days and disabled all other instruments.
The speed of the Hughes machine is about
thirty-tive per cent greater than the English
machines which do not record the messages
transmitted whilst the Hughes machines
print in plain letters
We are also gratiied to learn from the
same source that negotiations have been open
ed by the Atlantic Telegraph Co., looking 10
purchase of the patent of the hughes IN
vention, with a view to its immediate use on
the Atlantic cab,e-the great Prof. hughes

ines will transmit intelligence twenty per
cent faster and with greater accuracy than
can be done by any other system.

Another Tclegraphic Route Proposed.
A correspondent of the National Intelligen-
or suggests the practicability OF laying sub.
marine cable between Europe and America
by way of the Azores and Bermudas. The
writer says the distance from Bermuda to
Fayal is less than from ireland to NewfOund-
land. These islands stand invitingly off the
coasts Of Europe and America. They stand
as hercuean pillars on which to rest the cable.
II wire was laid between them, shorter ones
could be carried to the shore Of the Old and
New World One wire between these islands
would serve all practical purposes for long
time to come. The route by Fayal would ac-
commodate England with one wire, France
with one, Spain and Portugal with one, and
Madeira with one. On our side, the Ber-
muda route would be convenient for one wire
to New England, one to the Middle States
and the West, one for the Southern States
and California, one for Cuba and Mexico
and one for the West Indies and South
America.
