A RUNAWAY CULPR1T OvERHAuLED By
THE GOVERNOR OF RHODE IsLAND.-As
Governor Smith was passing up North
Maine Street, Providence, on Tuesday morn
ing q young fellow named Mccartney, who
Lad escaped from the hands of an officer,
came dashng up side street with the Of
Gcer in close pursuit. The Governor caught
the cuprit as he was rushing past, but the
slippery chap squrmed away and started off

A BILL is now before the committee on
roads aud canals, introduced by the dele
rates from Idaho, the Hon. w. Il. Wallace.
ior the construction of road from Fort
Laramie to the new gold mines of Idaho, at
the head waters of the Missouri. This road
will shorten the route nearly five hundr, d
miles, as compared with the present travel
ed road. Efforts are now being made to
establish military posts in the portion of
Idaho now called Montana, for the protec.
ton of prospecting or gold hunting parties,
rs the Blackfeet and Crows; who inhabit
the country; are the most warlike tribes on
the continent. Those who are best &C.
Quainted with Montana think tho richest
mines have not yet been discovered.
"SoME MORE EANs."-Those who have
aot yet decided what kind Of crops to cult
vate the coming season, or who can put q
few more acres under cultivation, may we'll
consider whether crop Of beans cannot be
made profitable. The great call for them
for army use has enhanced the price out of
proportion with many other articles of food.
They are most easy of cultivation, and may
Ia, raised on land too poor for most of the
grains, although at least moderate facility
will give the best yield. They are an ex
cellcnt crop for orchard grounds, as they
ia not draw heavily upon the soil, and their
cultivation, by clearing the ground of grass
and. weeds, may become benefit to the
fruit.
