A large gang of men are at work

alterations on bridges and culverts
and we understand that four locomo.
tlves have already been changed to
the narrow gauge in the Vincennes
cess of alteration. Narrow gauge
trucks are also being made for pas

The New RailrOad.

Work on the new line from this
city to st. Louis is being prosecuted
with great vigor, and will probably
proceed with greater rapidity than on
any line of railroad ever constructed
in this State. At the present rate it
will not require many weeks to build
The bridge over the river at this point !;
the first pier will probably be com
pleted to-day. Although not vet de
termned, it is probable that the road
will be run near Danville, passing at
distance of half mile. The exact
route between that place and Green
castle is not yet decided on, but after
leaving the latter place it's course is
nearly an air line to Paris, Illinois,
where a junction is made with the
main line. The road crosses the
Evansville and Charlottesville about
nine miles above Terre Haute. The
distance gained by the new route is
little more than ten miles. The road

NO REDUCTION OF THE ARMY.
do not deem any general legisla-
ton for the reduction of the army ad :
vlsable. The troops on the plains are
all needed. Troops in, the Southern
States are still needed, and further
reduction csA be made in the way
already in use and now in operation
where it is. safe, namely, by allowing
companies to dismiss by discharges
without being strengthened by re
tcruits, and by stopping appointments
of Second Lieutenants. 1t it should
be deemed advisable, the Veteran Re-
serve regiment might be discontinued
by the absorption aud retirement of
officers and the discharge of men
without detriment to the service.

Whose sufferings have been prOtract-

cases require prompt treatment to
render existence desirable. Do you
feel weak, -debilitated, easily tired?
Does a little extra exertion produce
palpitation of the heart? Does your
liver, or urinary organs, or your kid

you have spells of short breathing or
dyspepsia? Are your bowels consti-

Is your memory impaired? Is your
mind constantly dwelling upon this

alone, to get away from every

make you start or jump? Is your
sleep broken or restless? is the lus-

of your cheek as bright? Do you en-
joy yourself in society as well2 do
you pursue your business with the
same energy? Do you feel as much
confidence in yourself? Are your
spirits dull and tagging, given to fits
of melancholy? If so, do not lay it
to your liver or dyspepsia. Have you
restless nights? Your back weak

appetite, and you attribute this to
dyspepsia or liver complaint?
How many men, from badly-cured

THE GAs.-About the worst affliction that
Smyrna has to endure is caused by the gas
management or rather its want of manage
sDent. We have gas one night and are with
outlt two or three; it comes in intermittent
flashes. and leaves US in long darkness again.
We haze the light just enough to keep us in re-
tnembranee that we have gas works in the
town, and hats all The way they are now
managed reRdeTs them simply an intolerable
iaaisanee rather than a public improvement
as was the original design. Those who have
the fixtures in their houses and places of bus
iness are paitbar provided with gas or kero
sinej at least they have no satisfaction witt
either, and the churches aad other public
places are suffering an almost iRsIlrmountablt
Inconvenience by the lose manner ia which th'
works are conducted.
There y talk among the business zen O
calling meeting to decide whether they shall
continue the use of the gas or 20 back TO thei
lamps again. No one desires to retrograde Il
.the lamps, and all are willing to suffer Will
evils are suferable" rather than give up tn
gas while there is any prospect of keeping
,agoing with even tolerable Inconvenience, bu
if it Is given up il will be hard to start il agai
after they have gone to the expense of maxim
the necessary alterations.
Tile public suffer quite as much as indiyit
nails from the darkness. There is no town
which street lamps are more useful than

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION con-
venes at Dover next Wednesday afternoon.
There is some speculation as to whom the Con-
gressional candidate will be. 1t seems to be
understood that Mr. Nicholson will not be re-
nominated, not because there is any especial
objection to him among the party leaders, but
they think he's had enough picking at the
Lone. His course, in the main, has been salts
factory, but he is not looked upon as possess
ing any espeeial strength to entitle him to a
third nomination, while others are anxious to
till his easy chair at Washington, The most
anxious applicant is Benny Biggs. He thinks
he's entitled to the nomination, it is said, be.
cause, when he was nominated in 1860, (wher
the party expected the vote would have tC
be thrown away anyhow he hadn't a fail
show. The Douglas faction threw away 76l
votes on Reed, while the Bell Everett and
Lincoln men united on Fisher and elected hin
by PAT majority. He thinks that, in addition
TO his being the best man for the place, thu
party is under obligation to him. He is hare
at work for the nomination; was through her
on Friday trying to have the delegates instruct
ed to vote for him in the Convention, it is re
ported, but with what success we are not in
formed. He hopes TO head off Charley Lore
of Wilmington. for whom there is a stron
current setting in. Charley has the more bot
tom, perhaps, but Benny has superior energ
and fewer scruples. Benny knows that thi
is his chance; he dare not trust himself befor
the people in a close canvass.
Captain Barr also wants the nomination, bu
the party thinks that the postofice pays hir
for turning his back upon his friends.
