RAILROAD CROSSING AT PRAIRIE DU
CHEN. THE Milwaukee IL st. Paul Com.
pany are driving the piles and making
other preparations for building tempo-
rary winter bridge across the Mississippi
River, between Prairie du CHEN and
McGregor, in order to facilitate the trans
fer of freights and passengers across that
much dreaded crossing after the river
freezes up The bridge, although TEN.
porary one, will cost over $4,000, and
will be ready for crossing Immediately
upon the closing of the river. This will
make great saving of time and expense
in the transfer Of freight and passengers
The company contemplate at an early
day building permanent bridge there,
but at present have not decided what
kind of bridge to build.

The YERGER HABEAs CORPUS CASE
A dispatch to the Chicago Times says
1.-THE Attorney General, since the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court claiming juris-
diction in the Yerger case, does not
seem disposed to argue the petition of
habeas corpus, but to allow the case to
be submitted without discussion by
either side. 1t is added that Yerger' 9
counsel believe that decision will be
delayed until Mississippi is reconstruct
ed, when he can be turned over to the
State courts. There does not appear to
be any disposition to press matters from
any quarter and it is not unlikely that
the case will be settled in that way"

IT is stated that during the last fiscal
year, about 100000 acres of public
lands were entered under the Homestead

of national ana popular prosperity than

DIR. Bradford S. Thompson states in the
Medical Record that during the ten years
ending with 1868, there were entered in
England, for the manufacture of ale and
porter SO, AIT pounds of negr Uonlicd and
80, $50 pounds of COUcuhts 51ld2Cus. With
regard to the therapeutic action Of malt
liquors, which gives DR.. Thompson's az
ticIe it's title; his opinion is rather OF the
Bunsby school; for he first asserts that
Consequently, we are justified in say
ing that for the robust and strong and for
such as lead laborious lives, malt liquors
are refreshing, nutritious and whole
some For persons laboring under ex-
haustion beer unites its tonic virtues with
nutritious qualities, and becomes, under
ordinary circumstances highly beneficial
For persons labOring chronic diseases, or
tedious convalescence, and especially for
lants when well, it is in many cases a val
liable promoter of health" and Ill the next
sentence but one says:
"If highly nutricious food be required,
it can surely be found in many more concen-
trated forms than in beer. And SO of its
other properties. Water is infinitely it's SUI
pe1ior to quench thirst; the hops alone
would be better tonic; and as stimulant
it is too dilute. Moderate though these
qualities be, if applied to well persons,
they are unnecessary and super1uous, and
generally produce n bad state Of the sys-
tenn"
All of which tends to show that there is
equally good reason for drinking beer OF
abstaining from 1t.
