Railroad Matters.

We were again visited last week by
Chief Engineer Sill, of the Milwaukee and
st. Paul Railway. The object of this visit
was to ascertain the feasibility of an ex-
tension of the Milwaukee and Watertown
road, via. Lodi and Merrimac, up the Bar
aboo Valley Mr.. Sill came here from
Kilbourn, and passed over the proposed
route on his way back. The portion of
route on which he deemed it more espec-
iallv necessary to inform himself was the
gorge through the Lake. The Northwes-
tern company, by their charter, hold the
right of way through the gorge, and
doubts were entertained as to the possibil-
ity of constructing there more than the
track. We learn that after looking over
the ground, Mr.. Sill expressed the opinion
that there would be no difficulty in laying
the two tracks His report is to be sub
rnitted to regular meeting of the Board
of Directors of the St. Paul company, which
assemblies at Milwaukee tomorrow.
1t is believed by many of our best in
formed citizens that Milwaukee railroad
men look with more favor on this route
than on the branch from Portage here
but we cannot learn that this beliefs based
on any authoritative assurance. We hope
that at the meeting above referred to, such
action will be taken as that we may know
at once ani definitely how far we may
ook for aid to Milwaukee. .-BGra50o Re

Encounter with a Panther.

A young man named Hill, Of South
Granville, Washington county, N. y, had
a singular encounter with a panther, the
other day, while hunting for squirrels.
His dog began barking at the mouth of a
cave and came out bleeding, as if having
had tnssel with some animal. Hill de-
tcrmined to "see it out," so he procured a
lantern and AK and entered the cave. For
fifteen feet he had to crawl. Then he was
able to stand up. He proceeded fifty feet
farther, when he saw the eyes ofan animal
glaring at him. Hill poked the gun at
the stranger, which he seized in bis jaws
He fired; the animal made rush, but a
blow from the hatchet finished him. The
question was then how to get him out.
Dragging was practicable until he got to
the narrow spot, when he had to call for
help, and it took five or six to pull the ami
NAL to the open air. 1t proved, to the
great amazement of Mr. Hill, to be huge
panther, six feet long. The hunter said
he would rather fight rebels than under
take another such job

Marrow EsoAPE.-The Dubuque Times
says yesterday morning, between four and
five O'clock, as Ratcliffe's omnibus sleigh
was conveying load Of passengers across
the river for the morning train, the hind
end of the sleigh broke through, spilling
all the passengers, numbering seven or
eight, into the river. For few moments
several of then were in imminent danger
Of being drowned. The current was
strong, and the water about fifteen feet
deep. Finally, however, all were rescued,
and reached the shore in safety. The ac-
cident occurred near the ferry landing, not
far from the Iowa shore

nwThe Galena Gdzette contains the
particulars Of big lead which has lately
been struck near that place, The mineral
is rapidly increasing, and every removal of
oar reveals richer deposit beyond. Dur
ing the last two weeks, two men have TAX
en- out mineral which has sold for $500.
The opening is in the flint rock, about
twenty-five feet lower, geologically, than
miners in the lead region have generally
gone, few miners thinking it worth their
while to sink below the pipe clay. These
facts are worthy Of note, as indicating that
the heavy mineral is deep down, and that
the leal mines as yet have not been fully
developed.

The LaCresse Etpu5l1oaa says, the
first freight over the Southern Minnesota
railroad came in from nokah on Satur-
day. Between three and four hundred
barrels Of flour were discharged from the
cars opposite the city, and conveyed to
the depot Of the La Crosse railroad by
teams. So the Southern Minnesota rail
road was in working order before the end
Of the year 1865. The La Crosse railroad
has reduced the freight on wheat from
"a to l8 cents per bushel. This gives La
Crosse an equal chance with other points,
and puts six cents more on every bushel
into the pockets Of the farmers.
