The Oshkosh and Mississippi Rail-
Road.

We have referred to this road in our
columns before, and recommended the be-
stowal Of the land grant on some reliable
company for the building of a road from
Green Bay to the Mississippi. We have
lately, through the kindnsss of Our legisla-
tive friends, been furnished with facts and
information in regard to this road, which
confirm and strengthen our previous con-
viction--that this is the best, most feasible
and easiest built road, and would ultimately
be the best paying road in the state.
The company which propose to build
this road, having lately received a charter
from the legislature for that purpose, is a
strong, enterprising and energetic com-
pany AS We mentioned before, the road,
according to the charter, is 30 run from
Green Bay to the Mississippi; Oshkosh
and Portage are the only intermediate
points named, but we have good authority
for saying that the course Of the road will
be, after leaving Portage, to follow the
Wisconsin valley to some point near Arena,
thence up the Mill Creek valley to Dodge
vile; from Dodgeville it will probably
strike west across the prairie to Linden,
| thence to some point near the Platte
Mounds, east of Piatteville and from
thence pursue the course Of the Calamine
and Dubuque road, down the valley Of the
Little Platte to the Mississippi, and along
the Mississippi to some point opposite Du-
| buque The survey will doubtless be
made during the coming summer, and if
the people do their duty, and give the
necessary encouragement, the road can be
completed in less than two years. The
road is already constructed from Green
Bay to Oshkosh and twenty miles more
of the road is graded, and the track will
shortly be laid down.
An examination of the map will demon
strate the fact that this road will run
through one of the richest and most fer
tile regions in the state. 1t will cause
the mineral resources OF this part of the
state to be thoroughly tested, which has
never yet been done. Our large deposits
Of black jack and dry-bone would find a
ready market, and consequently be great
source of wealth. 1t would connect the
great lakes with the Mississippi, and be
one of the nearest and consequently the
cheapest routes to the east. When the
proper time arrives, let our people take
the necessary steps, and hold out such
inducements that this great road will not
take another course, and leave Dodgeyille
still neglected and alone.

~ Hon. L. w. Joiner of Wyoming,
sends US the following particulars Of a sad
affair, which occurred in that town on the
lst of March:
Mansei James, Welshman, who owns
farm and has family in Wyoming, was
returning home from a trip to the Illinois
coal mines, where, as he was a practical
coal miner, he generally spent the winter
months. He had arrived within three
quarters of a mile of his home, when he
came to creek which was so much swol-
len by the melting of the snow from the
hills, as to overflow bridge which he
wanted to cross. He took off his clothes
and threw them across, and then waded
through, but on reaching his clothes he
was too much chilled to put them on, and
so started for his house without them, but
was unable to reach it, as he was found
dead the next day, lying about thirty rods
from where he crossed the creek, He was
about fifty yfour years of age, and leaves
a wife and children 80 mourn his death.
