/ lJuBILArE! JUBIATE THAT is what every.
body and his wife calculated on hearing last
week for the first time in Rochester the whistle
of the locomotive on the Winona and st. Peter
Railroad, now completed and in running order
to this city. It is many years since the subject
was first preached, and, indeed, many other
years since ground was first broken for its ac-
complement. But there have been delays
and disappointments, many and dreary, until
hope, long deferred, was almost extinguished
by the oft-repeated failures. Even now we
find ourselves punching our heads occasionally
to assure ourselves that we are not dreaming,
and are actually comforted by the joyful reality
of an undoubted railroad entity. aa Va
We congratulate the public of Rochester.
We give thanks to Col. De Graft whose energy
and wonderful perseverance have realized all
these pleasant things; and we bid adieu to the
Stockton Hills, and the weary and everlasting
jostlings and jOundings, and aches and pains,
and inward revilings and objurgations which
they have caused us !; and we take our passage
in the comfortable passenger cars of the Vino
ma and st. Peter Railroad, settle ourselves back
in our seats, newspaper in hand, and bless our
stars that we live in the days of railroads, and
that it is our good fortune to dwell in country
traversed thereby. So we say again, goodbye
to the gutteral 9 ge-np's" Of the CHASTITY Jehus
that in times past have invested the Stockton
bluffs, and all hail to the welcome blasts of the
shrill whistles which break from the iron
Threats of monster locomotives. r' 20
Three cheers for the Winona and st. Peter
Railroad! tx t.. FL 81, g..,. ...,.. . i
