BoorH's DIARY.-The 'diary Of John
Wilkes Booth, taken frop his body af-
ter his capture, is now in the possess
sion Of Of the proper investigating COM
mittee, having been handed over to it
by the authorities. For some reason its
contents were not used on trial. 1t
shows that he was an agent Of the Con-
federste Government, and received
from it, and that at one time at least,
the plan was to kidnap Mr.. Lincoln. 1t
is believed to only implicate Booth and
Harold in the assassination. The entry
made on Friday, the 2lst Of April, one
week after the murder, shows that it
must have been written in Q perfect ag-
ouy of mind. It describes his position
with a broken leg in the midst OF q

ing that God would refuse forgiveness.

Railway 70 the Missouri.

The gratifying intelligence was re-
ceived here yesterday that the Cedar
Rapids / Missouri River railroad had
been completed to the Missouri River at
Council Bluffs. This completes thelink
in the great project connecting Chicago
and the Union Pacific railway. There
is now an unbroken railway communi-
cation across Iowa to the Missouri
River; and the thanks Of the country,
and especially of Chicago, are due to
the energy and perseverance Of the
Northwestern Railway Company shown
in this undertaking. In the spring the
Northwestern Company proposes to
build a bridge over the Missouri, con
Meeting Coupcil Bluffs and Omaha, thus
making the connection still closer. The
distance from Chicago to Council Bluffs
is about FIVE hundred miles.
Beyond the Missouri, the Union Pa
cifc Railway Company have laid their
tracks and are running their cars to the
crossing Of the Platte River, a distance
of 305 miles, thus making q continuous
railway westward from Chicago, Of over
800 miles! All honor to the men who
have united their zeal, their capital, and
their skill in accomplishing the opening
of thisgrand highway towards the West
eru Ocean. The completion of this link,
by the Northwestern Company, brings
to the lap Of Chicago the present profits
Of the giant work.
In the meantime the work on the Pa
cifc railway is progressing with great
rapidly. By next fall the Eastern line
will be extended to the neighborhood Of
Salt Lake. On the Pacific side the road
is completed to Cisco, ninety-three miles
from Sacramento, and in that distance
the elevation of 6,o33 feet has been
gained. The highest point OF the ST.
ezra to be crossed is 7,042 feet, but the
work is very heavy. Thus, at both ends
is the work rapidly progressing towards
an early completion Chicago Tribune,

LOOK TO Your BoILERs-AvoID AN Ex-
PLos1oN.-Many of the dwelling-houses in
the city are furnished with hot as well as
cold water through all the rooms. This
hot water is supplied through pipes which
are fed from large tank or boiler placed
near the fire in the cooking-stoves, and from
whence it derives its heat. They are
mostly furnished witb..stop- cocks, by which
the water may be shut off from the street
pipes at any time. Some Of them, how
ever, are not, and to these we would ad-
wise housekeepers to look. The supply Of
water being cut of from the city, these
tanks are consequently empty. The
constant fires kept up in the stoves Of
course keep them heated at all times, aud
when the water is turned on again, the
cold water rushing into them, and striking
the hot surface, viii cause an explosion,
and probably do much damage. .

LOCAL MATTERS.

The HENRICo NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DIS
APPEARANCE OF A WOMAN FROM THE Pow
HATAN HoUsE.-On the lst instant we pub
lished full particulars Of the discovery OF
the dead body Of a young woman in Drink
er's woods, Henrico county, about eight
miles below the city. Since that time the
officers of the county have been making
vigorous efforts to discover the murderer,
but without success. Several cases OF
missing women have been reported, exam
ined into, and all but one found alive.
That is the case of woman who came to
the Powhatan House about the 18th OF
February and registered herself as Mrs.
Parker. She remained week, never left
her room, had all her meals sent to her, and
was never seen by any one connected with
the hotel except the servants. She was
about the size, age, and general appear
ance of the woman found in Henrico, but
the servants describe her as having dark,
long hair, whereas the murdered woman
had light, short hair.
This Mrs. Parker mysteriously disap-
peared on the 22d, and has never since
been seen; and the dead body was found
on the 2sth, and had evidently lain in the
woods some days. If the testimony of the
servants in regard to the color of Mrs
Parker's hair was not so positive, suspicion
would at once point to her as the person
who was so brutally murdered. At any
rate, Mrs. Parker should be hunted up and
accounted for. She, too, may have beer
foully dealt with. She left a trunk of va
luable clothing at the hotel, and this wa:
obtained, as late as Tuesday last, ano
carried off. The person upon whose order
it was obtained is well known, and
although he has since left the city, he car
be traced up, and should be made to ex.
plain his connection with the affair, and
what he knows of the unknown owner OF
the trunk.
1t is most singular that no relative or
friend Of the murdered woman has inquired
for her. We again urge upon the county
authorities to apply to the Governor tc
offer large reward for the detection ol
the murderer. They ought also to employ
the best detectives to work up this shock
ing and mysterious case.

THE ROADS AND THE WEATHER.-The
unprecedentedly long spell of wet weather
which we have just gone through has rem
dered the roads almost impossible. Some
body's hat will be picked up on some of
the roads around the city before long, and
man be found underneath it. Testing
aside, however, we do not see how it is
possible for country produce to be brought
into the city. Vegetables, milk, poultry,
eggs, ETC., are getting scarce, and the buck
stcrs are, as usual, taking advantage of it
to advance their prices. We had hoped
that we should now have sunshiny, spring
weather, but yesterday afternoon the sky
was again overcast with clouds, with every
appearance of another rain. Another day
or two of rain will render the roads i'm
passable. Farming operations around the
city have been suspended. On many OF the
farms not a furrow of following has been
done since last fall.
