energy with which the work has been prose-
cuted has been crowned with signal and unex-
pected success, as this great national thor
oughfare was in use more than seven wears
before that date. 1t is not surprising in view
OF the unprecedented rapidity with which the
road was constructed, that deficiencies, most
OF which are incident to all new roads, should
have existed. Each successive report of the
special Commissioners who were from time to
time appointed shows that these deficiencies
have been gradually and in a very great de-
gree supplied. The aggregate material and
equipment on hand exceeding by 1857 $50 the
amount necessary to make the whole line con-
form IN every respect to the demands of the
law and the just expectations of the country.
Under the circumstances, had the honor to
recommend the acceptance Of the last sec
tons. No patents have been issued to the
first company, and the subsidy of 81 $40, 400,
on account of the fifty-two and one-fifth miles
OF road which were last constructed, has been
withheld. The other company has received
patents coveringli4. 1886 G3-l00 acres. II will
thus be perceived that the Government has
ample means to secure from the companies
the faithful performance of their respective
engagements. ....... .. ...0

The Marriage Of the late Mr.. Riehardson-Ths
Ceremony at the Astor House.

We find the following accurate report of the
marriage ceremony of the dying Richardson at
the Astor House in the New York World:
Mr.. Frothington-Let us pray
q, onr Father, may it please Thee, in this
place and at this moment, 10 bless these, Thy
children, with that blessing which Thou alone
canst giye--a blessing that shall make the dy-
ing bed full Of peace and satisfaction and graft
tude; that shall make the living heart full of
courage and faith. Bind together these two
hearts, our Father, and though the hands may
not hold each other through the journey of
life, may these hearts still be one before Thee
to wEOm life and death, the world to come
and this world are the same. Father, we
thank Thee for what these two have been to
each other, for what they may be yet. May
he take her image with him To the spiritual
life, and may she, bearing his name and vindi-
eating his honor, carry him about with her, to
strengthen her courage and give her patience
under her burden to help her through all her
care. Bless those who may depend upon her.
Bless the little ones who are left in the world
without their father. BE Thou their father,
their mother, their friend. And in the assur-
nnce Of the heavenly life, may she pass on to
Thee; may she remain with them and him
here below.
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be
/ Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be
done on earth as 1t is in Heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread, and forgive us our tres
passes as We forgive those who trcspnss against
us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver
Us from all evil, for Thine is the kingdom. the
| power and the glory forever and ever. Amen!
Nr. Bcecher Ito Mr.. Richardson) DO YOU
take the woman whom You have 10y your side
now, in this hour, standing near the heavenly
land, and renew to her the pledges of your
| loye' Do you give yonr heart to her, and
| your name? Is she, before God and before
these witnesses, your beloved, your honored,
and your lawful wife?
Mr.. Richardson (in an audible and clear
voice) Yes.
Mr.. Bcecher turning To Miss Sage)-Ahd
do you accept him your head in the Lord ?
| And ARE you now to him wife sacred and
honorad, bearing his name? And will you
| love him to the end of your life?
| Miss Sagc--l do and will.
Mr.. Bcechcr-Then, by the authority given
me by the Church of Christ, pronounce You
husband and vile; and may the blessing OF
Almighty God the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit, rest upon you and abide with
you Amen

Weir killed Thos. Mcknight. The
Sentinel says Mcknight was an in

Weir was not much known in the
country except that he once drove

except a dispute about two little
girls OF the landlord, at whose table
they were taking supper. Weir
stabbed him several times.

ELSEWHERE we mention that quiet
had been resumed among the strik-
ers at White Pine. Later adylces,
however, by the News of the 9th,
corroborated by Marx Wilzinski,
who has come through direct, dis
close still greater disturbance than
ever. Early on the morning of the
4th band of armed men visited
the principle mines and drove the
workmen away with clubs, stones
and pistols. One or two miners, in
trying to escape, were badly wound
ed. The City Marshal and Sheriff
went to work promptly and arrested
the President, Secretary and leading
men of the Miners Union. The
books Of the organization have been
captured and are in the hands of the
officers. The Jail and station OF
Hamilton, Shermanlown and Treas
ure City are full, and arrests have
had to eease for want of room. The
Sheriff has avowed an iatention to
deputizc u thousand mrn to keep
order, etc. The probabilities are
that the reign OF terror is about
closed.

the fuse still burning, and as there
was no way for him to escape he at
