several months. when he deserted her and
left for other parts, probat ly TO seek fer new

found in this house by speculator, who
persuaded her to accompany him. lie pur-
chased house on c. street, and after
furnishing it in the most elegant style, the
two lived there about year as man and
wife. She then went to Germany, and
after remaining there several months she
returned, arriving here bat few weeks

Average value. .........,

THE AVERAGE wear of the tracks Of the
railroads of the United States is estimated
at seven per cent. per annum. Taking the
length of the roads at AZ, $50 miles, the an
n1lal wear consumes sufficient iron to lay
1857 miles of track, or enough to lay road
from here to San Francisco. Ninety tons
are required for mile of single track, SO
that 266 1874 tons of iron are used up AN
nually by the locomotives and cars. With
this great wearing down of the track, no
surprise should be experienced on reading
the Report of the Railroad Commissioners
of New Hampshire upon the Grand Trunk
line from Montreal to Boston. The cars do
not travel as fast as the stages, and .afrelght
train ran off the track thirteen times IN
going over eight miles.
