TuE RAILROADS OF CALIEoRSrA.-Ac-
tive now at all points, aud increasing
rapidly in wealth and population, Cali
fornia is fast perfecting wide-reaching
railroad connections, both within and
without the State. Besides the main
Pacific Railroad, that stretches across
her central borders from Nevada TO the
ocean, q distance of nearly 800 miles,
she has an 50.mile line due south from
San Francisco, the beginning OF the
Southern Pacific Railroad; a second
short track from San Francisco Bay to
Sacramento, and thence north into the
Sacramento basin, reaching out toward
Oregon; several short roads into the
rich valleys among the coast mountains
and into the foothills of the Sierra Ne
vadas, all tributary to both Sacramento
and San Francisco; in total, at least
G00-psrhaps 700-miles of railroad
track will be laid and in use within the
State before the year 1869 closes. Very
soon all her central sections will be thu:
bound to her political and commercial
capitals, aad but two or three years, a

A Thrilling scene,

We have briefly announced the ter
rible calamity which occurred TO the
canal boat NJ. G.. Weatherbee, at the
Fort Miller dam, on Wednesday last, BY
which the wife and child OF Captain
Clark, the commander Of the craft,
were drowned. The particulars of the
affair possess n thrilling interest. It
appears the Weatherbee, which was
loaded with coal, was on the point OF
crossing the river At the bridge, and
Captain Clark, with two deck bands,
had stepped ashore with II rope TO keep
the stern of the boat near the dock,
leaving no one on board except Mrs.
Clark and her young child, about Is
months old. As the boat approached
the break in the dam, where the current
was very strong, the stern swung out
into the stream, and got beyond the
control OF the Captain and his men, MS
their ropes were too short to fasten to
the snubbiug posts. The Captains
wife made every possible effort TO give
out more line, but owing to excitement,
failed to succeed. They then tried to
hold the boat with the towing line, but
were compelled to cut 1t to keep from
drawing the horses in. As the boat
came into the break, Mrs. Clark took
her child in her arms, and cried - Save
me 7" "Save me "Save me ~ At
this time fifty or more mon were on the
shore, near the boat, some telling her
to stick to the boat, and Others to sit
down. The lock-tender, Martin Free
man, in u truly brave spirit, started for
her in a small row-boat when he came
near, Mrs. Clark, hugging her child to
her breast, jumped for the boat, but did
not reach it. Freeman sprang for her,
but without success. The canal boat
then went over the dam, followed BY
the email boat. Freeman saw Mrs.
Clark but once after he went over the
dam. His boat was capsized, and be
got on top, and so went over the second
falls. He was several times thrown
from the boat, the water striking him
with such force in the face that the
blood gushed from his nostrils. He
drifted down the river half II mile, and
was rescued alive by some men on the
opposite shore. Captain Clark tainted,
and fell as his wife went over the dam.
Il is believed that his wife would have
been saved if she had remained on the
boat, as it lodged u short distance be-
low the dam.-Troy (N. ~ Times,
