The average cost has been $4,000 per mile,
and consequently about thirty eight millions of
dollars per annum has been expended in the
construction, or sufficient to employ, at the av-
erage of wages, one hundred thousand able
bodied men. This expenditure has reduced by
one-half the cost of transportation, and given
positive value in market to every bushel of
grain on the remotest farm. The effect of this
is seen in the increased value of improved
farms in the producing States, Take the State
of Ohio for example.
The valuation of property in Ohio stands
thus at different periods
In 1882 s5O7, 5sl. 921
In 1858, $4,000, 900
Increase, 353000,000
This is an annual increase of S58, 900 600 per
annum.
The expenditures on railroads have been
$l0,O00O00 per annum so that the improved
value of State property has been six times
greater than the whole amount expended on
railroads.
The increased value of property in the
Northern States in the last six years has been
about one thousand millions, while the expen-
ditures on railroads in that time has been two
hundred millions

SUDDEN DEATH-Sad and Startlinq.-We
are called upon to announce one of the most
startling sudden deaths that has ever come to
our knowledge. Miss Theodosia Smith, daugh-
ter of Geo. z. Smith, a young lady of 10 years,
peculiarly winning by her. cheerfulness and
vivacity, was in attendance last evening, Mon
day, 14th,) upon the singing rehearsal under
Mr.. Hail. in the basement of St. Paul's Church.
She had been, during the evening, more than
ordinarily cheerful and happy the life and de-
light of her mates Suddenly, she had some
affection of one foot, and in laughing manner
said her foot was asleep. Her friends told her
to get up, but she said she could not, adding,
sit is true although laugh" When assisting
her to rise, she fell back unconscious and
never revived. She died about II o'clock.
This attack was at the close of the rehearsal,
about o'clock She was carried home in a
carriage, but never spoke again. The physi-
clans called, say there was enlargement of the
lungs, and that she died from paralysis of the
lungs Cleueiand Herald, March 15

OUTRAGE IN New YoRK.-The New York
Times gives an account of the attempted alb
duction of young lady of the highest respec-
liability and social position in that city. The
young lady, whose name is not divulged, was
last Monday afternoon accosted in Broadway
by some women in carriage, who invited her
to enter, and who, on her declining, pursued
her for some distance, endeavoring by many
entreaties to persuade her to join them. Ter
rified by their opportunities, she retreated into
milliner's shop, where she remained for some
time, but, on attempting to leave, she was as
sailed by one of the women, who had conceal
ed herself near by with foul language and vi
client abuse. Her bonnet was torn from her
head, and her face was badly bruised. Before
any arrest could be made, the assailant had
jumped into the carriage and been rapidly
driven awny. The Times says the mystery
remains unexplained, but hints at murder,
plumber, and such agreeable suspicious.

The MOTHER OF KEY.-Mrs Key, mother
of the late P. Barton Key, now lies very low at
Baltimore. She supposes her son died of apo

not die with apoplexy, as she had PRESENT.
ment his life would terminate in that way. Her
next inquiry was, "Did he die in the street 2"
which was answered in the affirmative, with
out compromising the truth. She then sank in
her bed, and became quite ill. The impression
is she cannot long survive

This election is very gratifying, as the Dem

among the Republicans in the Legislature, to
prevent any choice.

The Family Of Rey. DR.. Lyman Bsecher.-The
children of the venerable DIR. Lyman Beecher,
residing in different parts of the country, came
together during the early part of this week, at
the house of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, i'll
Brooklyn, for family reunion and visit to
their father, who has now reached the eighty
fourth year of his age. All the children were
present except James, who is now in China,
engaged as chaplain to the seamen at Hong
Kong. Their names, in the order of their ages,
are as follows
Miss Catherine Beecher, of Hartford; Rev.
VIM. Henry Beecher, of North Broo1field,
Mass. Rev. DIR. Edward Beecher, of Gales
burg, ILL.,; Mrs. Mary f. Perkins, of Hartford,
Conn; Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, of Ando-
yer, Mass; Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, of
Brooklyn; Rev. Charles Beecher, of George
town, Mass. Mrs. Isabella Hooker, of Hart
ford, Conn. Rev. Thomas X. Beecher, of FL
mira, N. Y. The absent son, Rev. James c.
Beecher is the youngest of the children. So
large family gathering, occurring at period
after the youngest has reached the prime of
life, the original circle at the same time remain
ing so unbroken, is seldom witnessed in any
family, and is hardly likely to be witnessed
again in this. The health of DR.. Beecher is
still good and he bears with cheerful spirits
the weight of his more than fourscore years.

as Mary Herbert, servant girl in the employ

ding a fire, she poured aquantity of burning
fluid on the shavings, which were damp, to
make them ignite. The consequence was,
that they blazed up suddenly, severely burn
ing her shoulder, neck, arms, hands, and one
side of her body, in many places shockingly,
though not seriously endangering her life.
This adds another to the long catalogue of Sc
rious accidents from the use of camphene and
burning fluid, and should serve as another
warning to others, against using it.
