Minneapolis and Cedar Valley Railroad.

The Mitchell Gazette says that the
Legislature of Minnesota has passed,
and the Governor has signed the bill
accepting the deposit Of the Minneap-
oils and Cedar Valley Railroad compa-
ny, and confirming the contract with
them for building the road from Min
ncapolis to the State Line within two
years. This insurcs a continuous line
from Cedar Falls up the Cedar Valley
to Minneapolis within short time.
Work will commence all along the
road as soon as spring opens. A
number of heavy companies (the New
yord Central, Michigan Central, Chi
cago and Galcna Union, and Illinois
Ccntral) besides those actually engag.
cd in the building Of this road, arc in
tcresting themselves in its speedy
completion. Consequently there is a
well grounded prospect Of railroad
to the State Line within one year.
Railroad prospects are coming up.
In addition to the above the Chica-
go Tribune has the following:
The result of the legislation of the
Minnesota General Assembly at its
last session was to give the land-grant.
railroads to new companies, free from
all membranes, provided each com
pany deposit $40, 900 on or before the
first Of July next, with the Governor,
and complete ten miles Of road on or
before the first Of January, 1862. On
the completion of the amount Of road
specified, the deposit may be with
drawn, and after the first year thirty
miles more must be built yearly, until
the roads are finished. Under this
arrangement, if the terms of the law
arc complied with, the Southern Min
nesota Company get the Root River
Valley road and the Immigrant at
tached and the line and lands from st.
Paul and Minneapolis up the Mime
sofa valley, by the way of Mankato
to the Missouri River at or near the
mouth of the Big Sioux.
The Cedar Valley road has been
given to a strong company, and in
this case twenty miles of road are to
be built the present year. Their in
tcrcst will require them TO run South
from Minneapolis and St. Paul, and
connect with the Root River Valley
road, as the first and best opening
that can be made. The condition Of
the country makes it impossible that
very much should be done the present
year, but it is to be hoped that good
beginning can be made in securing a
trunk line Of railway to the capital OF
Minnesota.

For the st Charles City mtelligcnccr,

Mr.. EDITOR Permit me few
thoughts suggested by communica-
ton in your last weeks issue, headed
" .Saieratus." The writer premises the
question, whether it is hcalthful to mix
Salcratus in the food of human beings
or not, and seems to arrive at the CON
clusion that the use of alkali, at the
rate of two and half ounces per
week, ais worse than rot-gut whis-
key; :" and that its use internally, in
any quantities, is an assault upon
the house we live in'-thc human
frame"
Now, it becomes every housckeeper,
every philanthropist, seriously to en-
quire, are these things SO? | think
it is generally supposed that in well
prepared soda biscuit, or a " draught
Of soda water" an acid and an alkali
arc mixed in such proportion that the
alkali becomes saturated and is taken
into the stomach in the form of ncu-
trail, perhaps an innocuous salt al
least not an alkali. Is this popular
error? Is it true that when the care
full mother mixes Rabbits pure
she is preparing alkaline poison for
her family?
The temperance rcformcr, who pat
ronizes soda tountains-is he only
stunning the Scyla of alcohol to be
overwhelmed in the Charybdis Of aka
Ii The physician, who mixes the eff.
fervescing draught for his fevercd pa.
TENTS he committing scientific
homicide? If so, then Babbitt aud
Allopathists should be hanged, and
temperance men should take in hand
the renters Of soda 'cater as well as al
cohol. | do not wish to be understood,
Mr.. Editor, as advocating erich yellow
biscuit" | like rich buscuit-ricll
with good wheaton farina, rich will
spongincss, bnt not rich with "ycl.
lowness" | believe cooks commonly
think their bread is spoiled when il

In using the term tone" we do it in
the sense Of " T. pluriJus unum," " one

ton of nearly all the known climates
TO live a single year in Boston is to
range climatically over the greater
part Of the habitablc globc-cncoun-
tcring the SHOWS Of Siberia, the heat
of the tropics, the dryncss of the ia

gales of Cape Horn, with an occasion
al touch of the London fog, and long
intliction in the Spring of something
that is called the East wind, but which
reminds every sensible man with Il
sensitive throat, of the hacked sword
swallowed by Indian jugglcrs. Nor
is there any assigned order in which
these different developments of the
the weather may be expected, in spite
of the amusing direction of the worthy
Robert j. Thomas to "look out for "

at 760 in the shade and on the 22d, a
driving, roaring snow storm Of nearly
twcnty-four hours duration came, lcav-

stabbed for the night in snow-drifts,
and the distance from Boston to Wor.
