ton and Dayton road. That will of cOu-
fsg be completed before May next, when
through trains win run regularly from
New York to Cincinnati and St. Louis
,192 miles without a break of continui-
ty or Of gauge
The name of this road was changed to
the Atlantic and Great Western in 1854,
by proceeding in court. That name
was proposed in Mr. Kent's first annual
report A charter was granted under it
by the Legislature Of Pennsylvania in
1857.
The credit of keeping this enterprise
alive; when in ordinary hands it must
have died, is mainly due to its President,
Mr. Marvin Kent, and to his ne7er-dau1-
ted coadjutor the Secretary, Mr., J. W.
Tyler Mr.. Kent was obliged to risk his
all on its success. Mr.. E. P. Brainefd,
of Ravenha, the Treasurer Of the origin
al undertaking, and still of the Ohio d.
vision, has likewise had most atddods
task, and has performed it throughout
with eminent ability, courage and fdeli-
ty. In later days, Mr. William Reynolds,
President Of the Pennsylvania division,
was required to eTince equal courage and
deyotedness, and never required in vain.
1t is to be hoped that the reward of
each will be in proportion to his ssgaci-
ty, energy, courage and public spirit.
Extensive maohine-shops for the Ohio
division are located 1t Franklin, and are
to be substantially constructed Of stone.
They with the necessary fOundries, car
manufactory, &C., will cover thirteen
acres.
At MeadyilIe is the great hotel and
dining hall of the road-the dining hall
among the best in America. Here also
are machine-shops, &C., for the eastern
division of the road. Mead7ille, former
| ly one of the most secluded and oHt-of-
the-way county seats in the West, is
benceforth an accessible and siigibly To-
Gated as any town in Pennsylvania west
of Pittsburg. 1t was alawys a beautiful
spot situated in a fertile and delightful
region. HencefOrth, its trade must be
large, and its growth rapid and sure.
By the completion, now assured Of
this enterprise, Cincinnati, louisville,
St. Louis, &c., will be brought into more
direct and easy communication with our
city, while Columbus, Dayton, Indianap-
oils, and nearly the whole Of Ohio and
Indiana, have secured a new and in ma
ny respects superior outlet to the sea-
board. The value of the Erie Railroad
to its stockholders and to our city is
nearly doubled BY it; as the rapid and
vast appreciation Of its stock for the past
year sufficiently indicates. Ultimately,
the rapidly growing trade of the central
gold mining region, but especially that Of
Arizona and the head springs Of the Ar
kansas, the Rio Gfande and the Gila,
viii reach US in good part over the At
Iattic and Great Western Railroad. This
city could well afford to pay the entire
cost Of this work rather than do without
it; yet we think not less than one mil
lion dollars in all have been paid by New
Workers toward It's construction. The
more urgent, then, Is the duty Of honor
ing those by whose forecast, faith, ener-
gy and public spirit, 50 magnificent re-
suit has been noiselessly and frugally
achieved.

One of the most terrible and destruc-

for many years, occurred on the 18th
ult., in Santiago, Chill, in the burning Of
the great cathedral, When densely pack
ed with human beings, a gas explosion
occurred, firing the inhammable materi,
al with which the interior of the immense
structure was orRamented. The flames
soon seized the roof, which burned very
rapidly, and while the afrighted mass
pressed against the doors 50 that it was
impossible to open them, the roof fell il
with a great crash, burying men, women
and children alike in the burning ruin
About two thousand persons are said tc

The miracles related of the gentle Eli
zabeth of Thuringia, have charm not
always found in the fabulous histories OF
the saints They are the poetic image
of her lovely life; the flowers, so to
speak, planted ON her grave by the poor
and ignorant whom she lived and died to
bless She was herself, despite the blem-
ishes Of an often misguided conscience
one of those rare flowers of grace whose
perfume sweetens the air of all after
time, and whose examples of self-deny-
ing love are among the brightest mira
cles ever witnessed on earth.

THE Great Western Sanitary Fair at
Cincinnati, has really thus far proved the
greatest success Of all the Fairs that
have yet been held. Already 100000
have been paid over to the Sanitary
Commission, and that amount will be
swelled by from $4,000 to s25, 900, as
receipts are still coming in. 1t will be
troublesome even for the Metropolitan
Fair to much exceed the amount realized
at Cincinnati.

Rejoicing came the good thanksgiving day;
And all the gloom Of night seemed rolled away,
For while we sung our grateful hymns Of praise
For all Gods goodness in these wondrous days,
And him extolled who aye our land hath blest
There came the glorious tdings from the West
That Grant again had fought the rebel hosts
And driven them from all their treuohed posts
In wild confusion. So with glad accord
oiled freedoms hsllelujahs to the Lord,
Bells rang with gladness, cheerful hearth-frei
blazed,
And all the grateful nation bowed and praised
And 80 the year has gone. A crown of light
And glory gilds its locks of hoary white,
Though now entomb'd in the eternal past,
Forever bright it's memories shall last.

troops, has returned from the Lower Mississippi
with cheering reports relative to the success Of
his grand enterprise. He has put into the fold
10000 drilled slaves, suitably proportioned in

have been placed under command of Gen. Banks.

and five cents a tushel for corn and potatoes

close confinement in a small room at the back Of
the premises at which Porter and his family
reside. Heart-rendng cries and bowls have

" on cold winter nights; but, although the
