Pacific railroad has been extended across the highest
point in the Rocky Mountains which is to be passed
by the locomotive Of this railroad 500 miles are
built and equipped. Iron sufficient to lay 200 miles
of track has been accumulated, and probably not less
than 300 more miles will be added to that in op
Grafton before the beginning of 1869. This will
quire 5000 additional laborers, 1000 mechanics, bridge
builders etc. 1000 and 1900 wagons and carts.
From Omaha to San Francisco is l845 miles. The
Union Pacific company expect to have from 800 to
900 miles of road in operation this year, while the Cen
tral Pacific building the western end of the through,
line will have comp peted 400 miles. The gap of 500
to 8OO which will then remain between the ends of
the two roads, will, by the end of more years, be
nearly or entirely closed

PURIFY YOUR BLOODIIl
Niirlry''s Sarsaparilla,

OF all the remedies that have been discov- cred during the present age for the thousand ills that flesh is heir to, none equal this won derful preparation. Only ten years have elapsed since the discoverer, (who spent decade in studying experiments, and perfect ing it,) first introduced it to the public, and it is already recognized by the most eminent physicians in all parts of the country to be the most surprising and effective remedy for certain diseases of which they have knowl- edge.
 All other Compounds or Syrups this root have hitherto failed to command the sanction of the Faculty, because, on being tested, they have been found to contain noxious ingredi- ents, which neutralize the good effects of the Sarsaparilla, and oftentimes injure the health of the patient. It is not so with Hurleys preparation.
 This is the pure and genuine extract of the root and will on trial, be found to effect certain and perfect cure of the following com plaints and diseases:
 Affection Of the Bones, Habitunl COStiyeneSS, Diseases of the
 Kidneys, Dyspepsia, Ery-
 slpeias, Female lrreg.
