About Road Surveys.

Ed. REcoRD-lt Is understood that route for a
via North Fork Feather river has been partly sur
veved and that to this route has been given the
preference account of the all egei mprac teabi-
itv Of the Bald Rock Canon-the Middle Fork route
being conceded to be much the shortest and cheap
est aside from this Bald Rock obstruction.
Surveyor Keddie makes the distance from Orc
vile to Hartmans Bar by the Middle Fork-how
far, Mr.. Editor;-excuse my faulty recollection; is
it IS mile? Now be it known sir, that road can
be engineered from Orove TO Hartman's Bar on
a line upon which snow very seldom falls to depth
of Is inches: a road which shal have a grade of
fifty feet to the steepest mile; hch shall not touch
the Middle Fork at all until above and beyond the
terrific Bald Rock; and which shall be little. il any
tor the Bald Rock Canon of the Middle Fork is not
in the track of the Middle Fork railroad route
this route properly located, passing along slopng
hIlsides and up gentle asceuts through the region
of the foothills TO its intersection with the river
above the Bald Rock. Possessing Incompatible
attractions-passing (as it viii pa>s) through the
romantic suburbs of Oak Ar5or-thi> is, beyond
possible doubt, the very best route for our trans
continental railroad. On this route must that rail

SOMETHING NEw.-The Sacramento Bee, OF Fri
day says there arrived in that city the train from
Alta LOO pounds of the prepared soap root, which
is calculated TO take the place of curled hair for
stufing mattresses. sofas, chairs, etc. Gne thou
sand pounds of the Importation was shipped yes
terday for San Francisco and the remainder for
Marysville. The article referred to is excellent
substitute for curled hair, and comes two thirds
cheaper. As all parts of California abound in soap
root and the process of manufacturing it is simple,
the new article must soon come into general use
among upholsterers.

AKrENus Waxp.-Private advices from London

-thibMts ." hN".-ItiNdte duNffts ttVtu boHuVu
give US some interesting details in regard TO the
death and last intentions Of MIR. charles :. Brown,
(artenlns Ward} We find that he Was. during ten
days. in state Of uninterrupted delirium, and that
he was wholly unconscious of the presence of Ell
ther friends or advisers. During his last hours,
Captain Britton and Mr.. Z. I. Kingston watched
over him all night. alternately, and no effort
spared to alleviate his suffering far possible.
His physician, DR.. Croft, states that III, tgbercuar
disease began long while ago in the mesenteric
glands, aud that thence ii proceeded to the lungs,
where the destruction of tissue went on rapidly.
Finally. typhoid symptoms set in; the lung decay
ceased, and tabercles became developed in the
brain. His death registered being used
caused by phthi>is. Artemus Wards will was pre-
AIRED and signed the 24jh OF February. Ii reads
Us follows: To the children OF Mr. Kingston, (hs
AGENT TWO in number. he leaves each $500. To his
mother he leaves life interest in the whole of his
real estate, the value OF which is at least s26 06o
and AT her death it passes into the hands of Horace
Greeley, trustee. for the purpose OF founding an
asylum for decayei printers. His library is to be
competed for by the boys at present receiving their
edrcation al the school where Mr.. Brown was edu-
Gated. The rest of bis personality is devoted to
the object OF providing for the education of George
Stevens, Intelligent youth of fourteen, Tho has
been his constant attendant and companion for the
last two years. The will provides for his appren-
tieeshp two years in printing Office, and then his
removal to college for the peffeetng Of his educa-
tiou. Mr.. Brown stated that his object in wishing
George to so first into printing Office, was that
he might ascertain how little he knew, and how
important II was 10 learn.
