is the only link wanting to connect St. Louis and st.
Paul by direct line, 14T miles shorter than any
other.

Iowa to the North, where coal is indispensable and
must be carried.
1t runs from the great lumber regions of the North
through district OF country which is destitute Of

1T DOES NOT RUN THROUGH WILDERNESS where
1t would wait for years for population to give it
business, but through tier OF counties which are
now producing about twenty million bushels or
grain, most of which is freight for railroads
Forty-five miles are just finished and the Super-

liabilities.
Sixty miles more are graded, and million and

 from fit of sickness. Tho other was ta ken prisoner, and after having bsen con fined in two or three places, including An dersonvllle, at length returned home wrecked ill health-to die. One son re- mained, worthy young man, who chose
 the profession of surveyor, or Engineer.
 Not long since, however, he came home quite unwell; and after week or two died
 aged twenty-one years. Thus have passed
 away five promising sons, all of whom bid
 fair to become useful, if not eminent men

It will be apparent to any one at nll conyersaDt with railroads that Mr. D. has made no at. tack whatever on my statement; in the table he presents, he takes part of the stock of seven roads. take the cost of nine, with their equipments, amounting to upwards of $33, 900, 900, which differs very materially from $5, 291, 735, as shown by him. :. desire only to add that when Mir. D. or any other MT. will take my statement which he says I so peristently declare did make, and show by figures taken from com mmissioners' report that I am incorrect I will most cheerfully acknowledgeimy error. Persons wishing to know something of the cost of building roads at the present time I would respectfully refer to the report of the directors on the N.

ATSuch case of sectarian intolerance as re. gently occurred in Litchfeld County, Conn.,, is seldom heard of in these days. man belonging to the Congregational church lost 6 child; but as his church was some distance away, he applied to the sexton of an Episcopal church close by to toll the bell. The rector, had recently been installed over the church, forbade it.. Some gentleman de- termining that it should be tolled, went to the church, and finding it locked got in at 6 window. when the rector ordered them out. They declined to go, and succeeded in having the bell tolled in spite of the reonstrances of the clergyman to the contrary. In the first place the rector erred in not permitting the bell to be toled at the funeral of the child of his neighbor. In the second place.
 the vigilance committee who took the law into their own hands, and forcibly entered church over which they had no control committed a worse and more reprehensible error. Their conduct was in violation of flaw.--HarDord Times. asi i..ss
 If our information is correct, the, Times has mistaken the fact in this case. It was the sezson of tho church whom the minister undertook to keep from ringing the bell, and who finally rang it. Under our law, the minister in question had no sort of legal right to interfere in the mat. ter He was not even member of the so- ciety. who own the church. and whose le. gal agents are, by statute, the wardens and vestrymen. It was from them that inc sexton derived his authority, and we can not see why the gentlemen who came to his assistance were not in the right, and why the rector hi himself was not guilty of . trespass sfanf.a e.aE: f3:~e is.9s tifstt
