Cache-la -Peudre seems to be the centre of
the antelope country. There are no settle
ments, but small beginning just at this ford,
as yet hardly three months old, between Den
yer, 20 miles on one side, and Laramie, 1870 on
the other The North Platte and the Laramie
both head in the mountains 40 to go miles due
west of this point, thence pursuing generally
north course for more than a hundred miles
among the hills, which are here lower and
less steep than further south. The boil, high
regular front displayed by the Rocky Noun
tains, for at least hundred land, believe, for
two hundred) miles south of the Cache-la- Pou-
DIRE, hence gradually mets away into sue
cession of softer, rounder, lower hills snow
disappears the line between the mountains
and the plains is no longer straight and sharp
ly defined and the still waters of the Plain
have for some miles an alkaline appearance,
beside being very scarce in Summer. The
Cherokee trail plunges into the mountains on
the north side of and very near to Cache-la-
POudre and hencetorth we overtake no emil
grants moving westward-none of any sort
but meet few in wagons making for Boulder
City or the Gregory Diggings. Since we
crossed Clear Creek, on which there is here
decent fringe of cottonwood, we had seen but
the merest shred of small cottonwoods and
some shrub willow at wide intervals along the
larger warehouses; but the pine still sparse
ly covered the face of the Rocky Mountains.
Cache-la-Poudre has quite a fair belt of cotton
wood thenceforth there is scarcely a cord of
wood to a township for the next fifty or sixty
miles and the pine is no longer visible on the
hills near us, because they expose little rock,
and hence are swept by the annual fires. The
high prairie on either side is thinly, poorly
erased, being of moderate fertility at best,
often full Of pebbles of the average size of
gooseegg, and apparently doomed to sterility
by drouth This region, though inferior in
soil, and less smooth in surface, is not dissimi-
lar in its topography to Lombardy, and like it
will in time be subjected to systematic irriga-
ton, should the gold mines prove rich and ex-
tensive. Some of the streams crossed by our
road might easily be so damned at their egress
from the mountains as to irrigate miles in
width to the South Platte, forty or fifty miles
distant, and at the prices which vegetables
must always command here, should the gold
miles prove inexhaustible, the enterprise
would pay well. was told at Cache-la-Pou

HEAVY DAMAGES AGAINST THE Cry OF DE-
TRo1r.-In the Circuit Court now holding in
Detroit, ON Wednesday was tried the case of
James B. Convey VS.. the City of Detroit, where
in the plaintiff claimed damages to the amount
of 100000, for injuries sustained by his wife,
in November, 1858. While going from De
troit to Okland county, on the evening of that
day, with her husband, they ran into an open.
unguarded sewer, on Grand River street, where
by Mrs. Covey was so badly injured that she
has been confined to her bed ever since. There
is no reasonable hope that she will ever recover
Her age is 81 years. The case was submitted
to the Jury, who, after an absence of only u
few minutes, rendered a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff for ttrenty thousand dollars, the full a.
mount claimed.
