Railroad Meeting,

At an adjourned meeting, held in the
Mayors office, Wednesday evening, Nov.
2sth, 1860, attended by many leading citi-
zens of Muscatine, the committee appointed
at previous meeting made the following
report, which was adopted:
WHEREAS, The present time table of the
NJ & NJ. r. R. which causes delay Of over
five hours at Wilton to all passengers going
west of that point or coming from west
thereof, also delaying all mail matter passing
to or from points west of Wilton, so that
mails and passengers arrive at Muscatine at
1910 P. M, leaving no time for the transac.
ton of business and returning the same day.
or for giving answers to business letters by
return mail, thus driving from Muscatine
much business which would otherwise be
transacted here, as persons residing at Mos
COW, Atalissa, West Liberty, Downey, Iowa
City or Marengo are subjected to detention
of about eleven hours at Wilton, in going
and returning frcm such points to Mnsca
tine, should they wish to do 80 by railroad,
subjecting all freight to the same delay .
and believing that the Superintendent of
the NJ. & NJ R. r. will so arrange the time
table of the road as to do justice to all par
ties interested, we would respectfully sug-
gest that before any further action be taken
by the citizens of Muscatine that statement
embodyiug the facts in the case be laid be-
fore j. F. Tracy, the Superintendent of said

Muscatine and Wilton be revised so as to give

jecting our petition at his earliest convent

Sunday, November 25th, 1860, at Melpine, MARIA
GUTHRIE SULLIVAN, daughter of G. W. and Eliza
che Sullivan-aged years, months and days.
In Wilton, Nov 25th, 1860, of typhoid fever, at
the residence of DR.. Ross, Miss LAURA CRANE, for
merly of Venango county, Pennsylvania-aged %
years.
Miss Crane had left her Eastern home for one IN
the West about year since, during which time
she endeared herself to all whose pleasure it had
been to become acquainted with her. Her mild
and amiabe department won for her many friends
who will long cherish her memory fresh and fra
grant in their hearts. Her temperament, naturally
equable and serene, seemed to have borrowed from
the Christening touch Of sorrow pensiveness that
awakened in the hearts of friends unusual sympa-
thy and love. There were incidents connected
with her history peculiarly touching and sad. She
had hidden adieu to her mother, brothers and sls-
tiers, in their happy home, and left them for
distant one in lowa--had wept farewell over the
grave of one dearer than these, wherein, together
with the loved FORM she had seen the fondest
homes of her life buried-and had come to seek in
the novelty and excitement of Westernlife forget
fitness for her grief. But though she seemed to
have been one "chastened in the furnace of Attic
tlOQ.' vet she was accompanying ohO ShScliu
Sorrow had not rendered her selfish, nor corroded
the affections and finer feelings of her emotional
character. While she lived, she seemed to have
lived for the good of others, and her generous and
sefden wing conduct breathed of that true Christ
ian spirit taught by Our Saviour. whose disciple it
was her ambition to be. During her last illness OF
four weeks, she manifested spirit of meekness
and quiet patience, and though she was denied the
| privilege of once more seeing 'the loved ones at
/ home though no mothers hand wiped the damp
dews,os death from her brow, and no mother q
| loving heart whispered to her daughter of the
beautiful mansions of rest" yet was she still per-
fectly resigned to the will OF the "Great Dsposer
| of Events" . =,
And thus Laura has passed away and has yielded

| to himself Much will she be missed in Wilton
| not only by those in whose hearts and by whose
firesides she while here had found home, but also
throughout the circle of young friends with whom
she associated in this village. But we "mourn no

narrative is published in the Reries. We condense
the main facts:
In 1s4s, he left the home of his father, Col
Newell kimball, of Syracuse. N. Y, for California
by the overland route, in company with his father
in-law aud three unmarried daughters. When the
party with which he was travelling reached Chilli

attacked by about 4 900 Snake Indians, but defend
ed themselves for several hours, killing 800 Indians
and losing 81 of their own number. leaving only
men and women alive who surrendered to the
savages. They were taken by the indians to
Mineral Spring. at the head of Chicothe Valley,
where Council Of twenty four braves decided that
they should run the gauntlet. The next day Kim
bail ran the gauntlet twice, with half an hours
interval between each time - first for his wife and
next for himself. The same day Mr.. Neal, his
father in law. was also compelled to run the
gauntlet, but was knocked down before reaching
the centre of the two lines, when he sentenced
to be burned at the stake, which sentence was put
into execution the same evening, in the presence
of the party. Another man of the party was like
wise burned at the stake. ate; which the Indians

An amusing story, illustrative of one Of the
Judges pecuarities, was told us q. few evenings
since. Many years ago, when he waas Judge and
Iowa was Territory, ease came before him in
which an attorney, now prominent Citizen of the
State, was charged with perjury. THE Judge
decided, as the evidence clearly showed, that ls>'
accused was not guilty. Immediately upon the
announcement of the decision, the accused, who
had pent up his wrath till that time, went i'll ION

room, the Judge, in great alarm, took position in
the corner. behind chair, repeating, +" l com
