in fact very few ideas serve him as the subject

Three years ago Mr.. John Hill, tailor of
DulvertOn, Somerset, England, received from
his sister in Wales three single peas, taken from
bottle found buried in an old ruin near that
town. The bottle contained parchment, from
which it appeared that it had been deposited
there two hundred years before. Mr.. Hill
planted the peas, and in his garden plot the
produce may now be seen, most luxuriant crop
Of gigantic peas, the stalks much above the
usual height, and covered with very light green,
sem-transparent pods of enormous dimensions
one of which measures FIVE and half inches in
length aud three in circumference, another
being seven inches long and one and tbree-quar-
ters wide.

THE HON. JOHN HICKMAN DEFINES
HIS POSITION.

Several citizens of Chester County, Pa,
having written note to the Hon. John
Hickman asking his views on the great poll
tical questions of the day, have received the
following reply;
NV answer is given in the following deola-
rations, every one of which l sincerely be-
lieve 10 be true:
/. Mr.. johnson is openly and vindictively
apostate to the party that placed him in
power, as he assured the country that he
was an unconditional friend TO freedom, and
desired to have traitors punished and their
crime made odious. He has falsifed all his
stereotyped assertions, and consequently,
look upon him as capable of any enormity-
! the worst.

THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD. The seere-
tary of the Interior has received from the
Commissioners appointed to examine and report
upon the condition of the Union Pacific Railroad
report of the inspection of the sixth section of
forty five miles Of that road, commencing at the
one hundred and sixtietb and terminating at
the two hundred and fftieth mie-post. In this
section there have deem constructed nineteen
bridges, the largest being one of single span of
100 feet, Of the Howe truss construction. A
passenger and freight house has also been erect
ed at Kearney Station. The roliug-stock of
the read at present comprises 10 engines, 1877
ilat cars, 46 box cars, passenger cars, .
baggage cars, aBd 80 hand cars A telegraph
line has been constructed along the entire length
OF the road, connecting with the limo east of the
Missouri river The commission reports the
Arguments, curves, grades, embnnkments, cuts,
and bitches, unexeeptiOnable the ties feet
long inches thick, and If sawed inches face
If hewn, inches; the bridge structures substau-
tial aud the whole road in good running CON
ditlon, enabling trains to run at speed of 3e
miles per hour with perfect safety and case 1t
conclusion, the commissioners report the whole
road and telegraph lines as ready for immediate
service and supplied with all the necessary
drains, culverts, viaducts, crossings, sidings
bridges, tnrn.outs, watering places, depots
equipments, furniture, and all other appurtenan
ces Of first-class railroad the rails and al
other iron used being of American manufactur,
of the best quality, and they, therefore, hav
recOmmended:the acceptance of the section, an,
the issue of bonds and lands as contemplated b,
law. AT the date of the report September l.
POS miles were completed, but as the rate o
laying averages about u miles per day, th
railroad is probably now completed to distanc
of 225 miles west of Omaha, the eastern terminu
of the road

A SOLDIERS WIDOW REPLIES To
ANDY's SILLY QUESTION.

Andrew johnson in his disgraceful ha-
rangue before the people of Cleveland, Ohio,
in a bomhastie style, asked, "Who made
greater sacrifices in the war than ? Who
suffered more than I?' A patriotic widow
whose husband was starved to death at An
dersonyille, in the Philadelphia Press OF
Friday last, thus answers his "Accidency"
70 Mr. 1adrew johnson, President Of The
United States of America:
DEAR SIR In the speech delivered by you
nj Cleveland, Ohio, on your way TO Chicago,
and which, suppose, was reported correctly,
you ask: "WhO made greater sacrifices in
thewar than l? Who suffered more than l?'

short time since DR.. Wilks left Scarborough.
England, for Fioy, but did not return home as
expected in the evening, and, no tidings of what
had become of him reaching Scarborough, no
small amount Of anxiety was felt for his safety.
News came late next day that, although safe,
he had marvellous escape. It appears that
he had ventured on most dan gerous spot.
Up to the neck in water, he had TO remain all
night and part of the next day. When relieved
he was conveyed to Gayton Water works, where
he for some time remained in a speechess
condition. After some time he was so far con.
valescent as to allow of his being removed.

FRIGHTFUL AFFAIR IN ARKANSAS
Jacksonport Erd says that u man named
Mckinney, an overseer, hired by planter
in that county, was stopped on his way to
the plantation the Tuesday evening previous
by four men, who robbed, blindiolded and
tied him to tree The Era says that as
soon rs released he went to Cotton Plant and
obtained a State warrant for the two he re-
cognized-Stracener and Berry were their
names-who were arraigned before Justice
Lentz, of Cotton Plant. The evidence for
the State was in accordance with the above
facts. But one of the accused parties--Berry
adduced evidence by which he proved that lie
was at another place at the hour the outrage
was perpetrated. II is believed that the wit
nesses who depOsed this testimony, were the
accomplices of Berry. Upon this evidence
both parties were released. When the trial
was concluded Mckinney and his friends
left Cotton Plant for their homes-some in
wagons and some on horseback About five
miles north of Cotton Plant, the Slracener
and Berry party overlook them. One Eli
Stages brother-in-law to Berry, and wit
ness for him, rode up to Mckinney and COM
menced abusing him, and finally challenged
him TO pistol combat, OF due, on the ground.
Mckinney readily accepted, and, leaping from
his wagon, pistol in hand, about twenty feet
apart, the firing between the parties COM
mencee. Each party fired three shots, any
one of which would have proved fatal.
Stages received the first shot in the mouth,
the next in the throat, and the third in the
breast. Mckinney was shot three times in
the breast. When these shots were fired,
the parties turned their backs upon each
other, and walked about the same distance
from the scene, and beth fell about the same
instant, one upon his back and the othei
upon his face, and died with pistols in hand
This occassioned a great deal of promiscuous
shooting-about twenty random shots-be
tween the respective friends of both parties
but fortunately no other damage was done
