the Cedar Valley Railroad, from Cedar
Falls to Janesvills, is ready for the track,
and 5000, 900 have been expended on
the line in Minnesota. There is also q
liberal land grant in that State, suf6cien,
if judiciously managed, to finish the road

Leaping from his horse to the tree he
was soon secure in the branches, where 9
portion of the pack watched him till day
light, the remainder having departed in
chase Of his horse, which could not after,

froze to death, and fell from the tree te
the ground, where he was found, insen,
sible, the next day and carried to house
FIVE miles distant before he recovered.
The overland dispatch which an
nounced the death of Dclazon Smith was
shortly afterwards represented to be true
only in the qualified sense that the late
Senator's political prospects, in the State
of his adoption Lad become exceedingly
poor. We learn, however. from the
