R6s~ The facetious Litchfeld correspon- dent of the Winsted Herald errs in confer ring an extra H upon former editor of this paper, as he also does in attributing to him the paternity of recent article in the ENQUIRER. We are obliged to the Editor of the Herald for setting his correspond ent right on these matters. Whether the subject of this compliment is able to "e,goy quite poor health" we are not certain. If he can, we may presume he might be able to enjoy even the Litchfeld correspondence of the Winsted Herald.

The second story will be a Hall,- shall have to name its'Hurlburt Hall' It will be large enough to accommodate all audiences we shall collect, even such as may be raised to hang upon the eloquence of the Senators son who spoke in Morris.
 By the way, MIR. EDITOR, the demo- crats this way unlike some i'll other parts of the country, denounce Brick Pomeroy s paper, and our Senator has been heard to say that tho Republicans hired Brick to write his blasphemous stuff on purpose to injure their party. There is no doubt that it is the best campaign paper that can be sent into i democratic family which has consistent piety enough to save dog, by showing them the internal hatred which exists in the master spirits of their party against Union and good order. We never think of it without calling to mind the Quaker, who, ,on hearing man swear most blasphomonsly, stepped up to him, when he had finished, and grasping his hand, exclaimed: "Friend! I congratulate thee that thou hast delivered thyself of so much foul stuff, seeing that thou hadst 1t within thee." We are seriously afraid, though, that tho patient in this case will die, be- fore he can be relieved. By all means cir culate the La Crosse Democrat ".

Unparalleled Railroad Progress.

The Pacific Railroad hastens toward completion. No peaceful enterprise of ancient or modern times was ever prosecuted with such energy and persis- tence. The two mountain ranges of the Conti- nent have been successfully crossed, and within & year we shall have unbroken communication be- tween New York and San Francisco. At the latest dates there remained only gap of 52O miles be- tween the Eastern and Western portions. The line is being extended from both directions as fast as labor and means can grade and lay the track. tho Central Pacific Company having put down six miles in single day. By the close of the year, it is thought tho gap bo reduced to less than 300 miles, possibly to less than 200.
 Thus far, the Central Pacific Company have sold their own First Mortgage Bonds, as fast or faster than they received the corresponding U S. Bonds on the road built, and in some cases it has been necessary to issue certificates calling for the form or, as soon as the Company could deliver them. It is not improbable, therefore, that the whole of their First Mortgage Loan will be disposed of be- fore the through connection is made, and perhaps before January next. The advantages of these Bonds, as well as much information concerning the Road, is set forth in our advertising columns of this issue.
