We see statements in some of our ex-
changes to the effect that the McGregor &
Sioux City Railway Company have closed
contractors have failed, &c. 1t does not
look much like it in this vicinity. The
bridge across the Cedar river, here, has
been located near the north line of the
town plat, at the head of the river just
south of the cemetery, and men and teams
are busily at work hauling stone with
which to build it. The abutment on the
east side is already commenced, and the
masons are at work laying it up in wat er
lime, notwithstanding the cold weather.
The contractors fer building the railroad
bridge are Messrs. Langdon & Carpenter,
of Minnesota. They arc the same gentle
men that took the contract for grading the
railroad from Calmer westward to Chicka-
saw, thirty-five miles. The grading be-
tween Chickasaw and Charles City, ten
miles, was let to Messrs. Lynch & Co.
The work of grading on the entire line
from Calmar to this place, is more than
half done, ard can be completed in the
spring in season for the track layers.
The right of way has been procured
from the depot grounds to the bridge, and
the property-holders have received fair
compensation for the land thus used. DR..
George A. Palmer received $4,000, Il.
Frazee 500 90, Egbert Sanford $4,000,
John Kellogg $4,000, L. Parmelee $1,000,

In Tippah county, Miss, recently, boy
eight years of age was killed by an eagle.
The school teacher of the place, describ-
ing the occurrence to the Union Democrat,
says: "The eagles have been very trouble
some in the neighborhood for some time
past, carrying off pigs, lambs, &c. No
one thought that they would attempt to
prey upon children but on Thursday, at
reces, the little boys were cut some dist
ance from the house, playing marbles,
when their sport was disturbed by large
eagle swooping down and picking up little
Jennie Kenny, boy Of eight years, and
flying away with him. The children cried
out, and when got out Of the house the
eagle was SO high that could just hear
the child screaming. The alarm was civ
en-, and from screaming and shouting in
the air, ETC., the eagle was induced to drop
his victim but his talons had been buried
in him SO deeply, and the fall was so great
that he was killed or either would have
been fatal"

A woman has no natural gift more be-
witching than sweet laugh. 1t is like
the sound of flutes on the water. 1t leaps
from her lips in clear sparkling rilI, and
the heart that hears it, feels as if bathed
in the cool exhilarating spring. Have
you ever pursued an unseen fugitive
through the threes led on by fairy laugh,
now here, now there, now lost, now found?
we havc-and We are pursuing that
wandering voice to this day. Sometimes
it comes to us in the midst of care and
sorrow, OR irksome business; and then we
turn away the evil spirits of mind. How
much we owe to that laugh! 1t turns
prose to poetry it filings flowers and SUM-
shine over the darkness of the wood in
which we are travelling it touches light
even our sleep, whicL is no more than the
image Of death, but is consumed by dreams

Casualties.
On Friday last, Jacob Lewis, Of this
city, in the freight transit employ Of John
Lawler, lost a team of stallion roadsters
through the ice, near the Pr. du Chen
Elevator. Mr.. LAWYER, with a magnanimity
not to be found in every case in this world,
Immediately purchased team for Mr..
Lewis and the business went on as usual.
On arrival of the train from st. Paul,
Monday night, at North McGresor, three
sledge loads of passengers broke
through the ice near the North McGreror
shore. So far as known all got out safely
except a little child of two years whose
parents were bound for Canada. There
cannot reasonably be any blame attached
to the drivers or ''guides' employed. For
some days the ice was treacherous, but
travellers are always anxious to move on,
and hence, serious accidents will some
times occur. Forty persons were in the
sledges and the child was found on the
ice. 1t was buried to-day Tuesday by
the R'y company. The mother probably
threw it on the ice when the break came
and it persisted with cold before the con-
fusion Of all was over. We are without
more particulars.

The Dunlcith and Dubuque Bridge,

the construction of the bridge, Frank
Kaufman has charge of the permanent

The bridge is approached from the east
by a tunnel S44 feet in length, through

in length. This is divided into seven
spans-four of 225 feet EACH two Of $50
feet each, and the draw span, of 300'feet.
The tops of the piers extend ten feet above
the highest water ever known. The stone
piers are built upon piles driven into the
bottom OF the river, the latter being sawed
off horizontally within few inches of the
soil that forms the river bed, and protect
cd by extensive riprappping on the upper
side.
