a TUNNEL IN COURSE OF Con-
sTRUcTIoN THROUGH THE ALps.-A
tunnel, to be seven and halfmiles
long, is now in course of construc-
ton through Mount Gents, to con-
meet Piedmont with Savoy, and
open an European higl way thro'
the Alps. The boring machines
are worked by compressed air,
supplied by hydraulic compressors,
outside the tunnel, and penetrate
one foot and one-third in five min
utes. These machines not only
supply the power for the work OF
excavation, but also introduce cur,
rents of fresh air to c%ounteract the

crwise poison the laborers. Tho
work goes on at both sides of the
mountains, and the only difficulty
apprehended is, lest the numerou'

DEATH PREFERABLE TO New JERSEY.
One terrible stormy nightin bleak
December, n United States vessel
was wrecked off the coast of Jersey,
and every soul, save one, went down
with the doomed craft. This one
survivor, a Western gentleman,
seized a floating spar, and was
washed toward the shord, while
innumerable kind-hearted tools of
the Camden and Amboy Railroad
stood clustered on the beach with
ropesand boats. Slowly but surely
the unhappy mariner drifted to
land, and as he eXhaustcdly caught
at the rope thrown to him, the
kindly natives uttered an encoura-
cling cheer. "You are saved" they
shouted, "you are saved, and must
show the conductor your ticket.
With the sea still boiling about
him, and a floating straw tickling
his nose, the drowning stranger
suddenly resisted the efforts to hau
him ashore. "Stop" said he, in
faint tone. "Tell me where I am
what country is this" And they
answered, "New Jersey" Scared.

Wood said at the close of his adj

"BININGERS OLD LONDON DOCK
GIN" possesses all the qualities that can be
desired for this highest and noblest use of all
wines or liquors. Its ingredients are the
distilled juices of carefully selected grains,
made delicately pungent and n%avorous with
the aromatic t~incture of the juniper berry
Age has mellowed all these mingled aromas,
and given an exquisite mildness-a smooth
oily body-and an almost floral odor to the
liquor, which renders it delicious to the
senses of smell and taste alike, while its
sparkling liquid purity leaves nothing for
the eye to desire.
In conclusion, the writer must remark that
Messrs. A. NJ. BININGER & CO., 10 Broad
street, N. Y, merit the gratitude of the en-
tire medical profession, as well as of the
world at large, for having introduced a

From the Darke County Democrat,
Cincinnati and Mackinaw Railroad.

Cincinnati and Mackinaw Railroad.
The President of this enterprise
has placed in our hands q letter
from Mr.. Norris, the Vice President,
who lives near the Michigan and
Ohio State line. From this letter
we learn that Mr.. Norris has re-
Gently been visited by Mr. Murphy,
the Vice President of the Michigan
part of the road, and that renewed
evidences of good faith on the part
ofboih companies were there given,
towards carrying out the agreement
to consolidate.
The work upon the Michigan
end is largely in advance of the
Ohio part Of the road. They now
have'25 miles of the road running,
and the grading about done to Sa-
ginaw as a northern point, and to
Jonesville OH the NJ. S. & n. l K.
R. as a southern outlet. This
amount of work has given the COM
pany a portion of the lands appro-
priated by the U. S. government
towards building this road. We
suppose the company will now
place these lands in market under
some arrangement that will work
them off, and at the same time pro-
duce a steady:supply of means with
which to advance the work upon
the road. Mr.. Norris says: "There
is not the least doubt as to the sue
cess of the road" that their means
arc ample, andthat they think they
have overcome the great obstacle,
viz; the securing of the first lot of
lands.
From this letter we infer that the
Michigan company will build from
Saginaw, on Lake Huron, South
ward to Jonesville on the NJ. S. &
N. I. R. r., at which point they
will stop until the Ohio company
reaches the State line.
We also saw a synopsis of this
company's first annual report to the
Michigan Legislature, which we
think shows a healthy financial
condition. This report shows tho
number of cars of various descrip'
tons, locomotives, miles run, &c.
thus corroborating Mr.. Norris let
ter.
We are certainly glad to know
that our Michigan friends are Sc
successful, and particularly pleased
to learn they are in good faith to
wards the Ohio scheme. We arr
pretty sure this good faith is re
ciprocated. And although W
cannot yet say to our northern
; friends, we have so many mile
running; we can say, we have l.
miles of grading done, 80 mile
cleared out, the work going OF
steadily on the first division, ant
the engineers are now stalking on
the section from Celina to Va
Vert, which will be put under con
tract in the spring. Little by it'll

If our Michigan friendshear sue
bad stories about us as we did
week since about them, they mus
not get Skcered, as they may be a
) false one way as the other. W
were solcmnly told that the Mich
-. gan part of this great scheme ha
busted up, that the officers had ste

and that the land donated by tn

Oil.

Considerable excitement has re-
Gently been occasioned in portions
of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Western
Virginia, by the discovery of Oil
in the earth. 1t is confined, we
believe, principally to the coal re-
gions, and more especially to the
localities where camel coal is found.
The process by which the oil is OBJ
tanned, as we understand it, is by
sinking wells into the earth and
pumping up the oil like water into
tanks or barrels. A great many
persons have engaged in the bust
ness in the valleys of the Masking
UNI, and also in the Mahouing val
ley, in Northeastern Ohio; but the
neighborhoodofM in Wash
ington county, If reports be true,
seems to be the most prolific. 1t is
said that numerous wells are being
worked in that region which yield
one hundred barrels per day, from
a single well, and the value of the
oil is nine dollars per barrel at the
wells. Nine hundred dollars pei
day, or two hundred and seventy
thousand dollars per year, for the
labor of two or three men, would
seem to be a pretty good business
AS good, if not better than the
richest gold diggings in California
or at Pixies Peak. But we feaI
there is a great deal of exaggera
ton about the matter, frequently
gotten up by persons who would
rather sell their land than to pumi
oil themselves, and it is altogethe.
probable that where one well will
yield q hundred barrels, ten WE'LL
will not yield ten barrels. We hop
however, that everybody may max
fortunes out of oil-they could no
do so in any smoother business.
