That this road promises to be an i'm
portant one and that the business men
and capitalists of st. Louis are appre-
eating its Importance is shown by the
liberal manner in which they are pur-
chasing the bonds now issued to raise
funds for the completion OF the road.
The st. Louis Times, in recent issue,
gives list of those who have taken
stock in this road and says:
We are hopeful from present indica-
tions that the Directory will soon be
able to procure an amount sufficient to
guarantee the completion of both
branches, and thereby give us an I'M
broken rail communication with St.
Paul.
We unhesitatingly aver that the COM
pletiOn of n road from St. Louis to the
Minnesota State line would increase the
business of this city at least one third.
Take the little town of Toledo, i'm Tama
county, Iowa, for instance. Last year
she shipped to Chicago over sic million
pounds of Notwithstanding 100, 900
bushels of wheat. This is one of the
most inconsiderable towns on the line
of the proposed road, but by it we may
estimate the value of the trade it is
within our power to control. Cedar
Rapids, Cedar Falls, Iowa City, Oska-
toosa and Waveriy in iowa, and Fari-
banit In Minnesota, can each buy more
goods in st. Louis than ST. Joseph or
Kansas City. Is it not worth while,
therefore, TO effect such valuable COM
munications, especially when 1t can be
done with immediate personal advan-
ta1e.

true that victory always crowned those

The following rules if read and OBJ
served will be useful to all Railroad
travellers. If more people in travelling
knew their rights they might save
themselves from many impositions.
The courts have decided that applicants
for tickets on railroads can be rejected
from the cars if they do not offer the
exact amount of their fare. Conduc-
tors are not bound to make change.
All railroad tickets are good until used,
conditions "good for this day onlyn are
of no account. Passengers who lose
their tickets can be elected from the
cars unless they purchase second one.
Passengers are bound to observe deco
rum in the cars, and are obliged to COM
ply with all reasonable demands to
show their tickets. Standing on the
platforms or otherwise violating the
rules of the company, renders a person
liable to be put off the train No per-
son has right to monopolise more seats
than he has paid for; and any article
left in the seat while the owner is tenn
porarily absent, entities him to his seat
on his return.

The Earthquake so visibly felt at
Dubuque OH the 9th of last month
seems to have taken southwesterly
course, producing similar sensation at
st. Louis and different points in Kan
sas. One of our citizens informs us
that he was sitting with his back
against the wall of his house and il
confident of having felt the shock.
The sensation produced at Dubuque is
thus described in tile Herald, which is
about the same as that experienced in
other places:
Three very distinct shocks were felt,
being, however, but of few seconds du-
ration. Persons sitting in chairs sud-
denly found themselves undulating
backward and forward as regular as the
pendulum of clock, without any Volt
ton of their own; window panes rat
tied, pictures shook upon the walls,
chandeliers swayed to and fro, while i'm

the number, the plastering came rat.

hand. The shocks were in close success
sion, and seemed to come like waves
from the north to south, and while not
heavy were severe enough to give per-
son decidedly queer sensation. Per-
sons upon the ground could hardly de-
tect shock, but the occupants of Sec
