a Strange Story.
[From the Trenton IN J.) sentine

| From the Trenton IN J) SentineIl
1t is forty years ago or more that the
dead body of ! stranger was found in the
woods near the Stonybook bridge, about
one mile to the east of Pennington, a
village in this county. We were child
then, resided near said village, and remem-
Der the circumstance we'll 1t was an in
cident to make lasting impression in a
quiet, rural neighborhood Years later,
when we boys used to 20 in to SWIM in that
locality, more or less fears were always
excited by reference to the circumstance,
for boyhood, as well as age, is superstitous.
Nobody believes in ghosts, and yet every
body is afraid Of them. The body was
found in sitting posture against beech
tree The face was distorted, the eyes
protruding, as though the dead man had
died in agony. His hat lay few feet
from him. His dress bctokened one in
comfortable circumstances No one ever
remembered to have seen the stranger
There was no money upon the corpse =
The body, without special examination,
was burled-we forgot where. There were
no wounds upon it, and no evidence of yio-
lence. AT that day, public scrutiny was
not 50 acute IN reference to the mysterious
deed. and no verdict Of supposed murder
was recorded. And now comes the strange
elucidation of the case. A few days since,
accident placed in our hands copy of the
Manchester (England) Examiner. In
that lumber we found the dying confession
of a man named Daniel Iiulesman, ac
knowledging to murder perpetrated forty
years ago, in the State of New JERSEY.
United States OF America The murdered
mans name was James Eberhart The
murderer Was acquainted with his victim
in the old country, and came out about one
year before him. Hulesman was tanner
and worked in New York When Eber-
hart came over he sought his old acuuain-
tance. He had about 9200 in money
On pretenee of examining the country and
purchasing land, Hulesman started with
Eberhart on a tour through New jersey.
he had with him flask OF poisoned brandy,
as he resolved to murder his friend for his
money. They first stopped at Princeton,
and then concluded to walk across the
intervening nine miles TO Pennington, the
weather being pleasant, and public travel
greatly circumscribed When within
mile Of the latter place, they stepped over
into the woods, under tree, to partake of
some victuals they had procured before
starting. Hulesnan then passed his flask
to his companion, who drauk literally, and
died within an hour thereafter in fearful
agony. Huleman looked on all the while.
He then robbed him of all his money and
set him up against the tree, as before de-
scribed. There are still old men about
Princeton who will remember this event.
1t seems almost marvellous that after lapse
of Il years this affair should have come to
light by a deathbed confession, 1900 miles
from the place of commission. And yet
it is even so.

Road to Red Bluff.

The Butte Record in alluding to the
incorporation of the company proposing to
extend the Vallejo railroad to Red Bluff,
says:
The construction of this as now contem-
plated, and the extension Of the Oroville
road to Chico, will pretty effectually drain
the Sacramento Valley and center it at
Vallejo 1t will as completely destroy the
California. and Oregon road for the business
Of the upper Sacramento Valley as if that
road had never been built Fore seeing
this the Central Pacific Railroad Company
have caused "A rumor to prevail to the effect
that they intend building branch road to
Benicia I" 1t is undoubtedly a canard, +"
says correspondent Of the Union, "put
into circulation by that large-souIed cor
poration to annoy the Vallejo road. The
exhibition of malignity and meanness dis
played by the Central people toward the
California Pacific railroad is unworthy of
child, and proves to what petty spites Il
railroad company, intended to be national
in It's character, can stop. Not content
with fattening sf of the generosity of the
government and people and expressing the
localities through which it passes, it must
try and crush out road that interferes
with its grasping propensities. The rapid
lty with which the California Pacific rail
road has been pressed toward Marysvile,
and the possibility Of its Ultimately beconl-
ing part of the Union Pacific road, is
where the shoe pinches, and we may say
God speed the day when such conclusion
may be arrived al"

THE BUST OF RAwLINs-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial says of the plaster cast of Gen.
Rawlins' face from which the marble bust
is to be made:
Young Mills handed me from its cover
the cast taken few days ago from Rawlins'
face after he was dead and placed in the
vault. Mills called it "sharp," techni-
cality for accuracy. 1t is Marvellous
The symmetry of the features was perfect
and calmer than sleep. The nose was
chiseled to the fmness of marble The
beard, the moustache, the eyelids we're i'm
pressed to the exactness of hair The
lips were full and little apart, as if he had
breathed through the plaster. The very
pores of the skin we're taken and visible.
The art was astonishing The face was
dead kings. Charles H., Of Portugal,
never saw finer, peeping into vaults Of
his ancestors. Rawlins dead lay in his
coffin like black bearded knight composed
in his armor 1t was observed in bis life
time how balanced his features we're across
the line of artistic proportion; but, think,
never half so vividly as it is seen in this
Counterfeit of death The head was not
large, the forehead not very high or broad;
none of the features great or grand, but
they we're as exact and fine as an Italian
mobiles

! NEBRASKA LIFE.-A citizen of Ne
braska thus posts an Eastern correspondent
who speered variety of questions as tC
the territory and life there:
what kind of Il country do you live
imp
Mixed and extensive 1t is made up oi
land and water principally
what kind of weather 2
Long spells of weather are frequent
Our sunshine comes off principally, during
the day time
Have you plenty of water-and how
got ?
"A good deal of water scattered about
and generally got in pals and whisky
is it hard 2
Rather so, when you have got to go halt
a mile, and then wade in mud knee deep
! to get it.
What kind of buildings p
'Allegoric, Ionic, anti baloric, logs and
slabs The buildings are chiefly out door,
and so low between joints that the CHM
neys all stick through the roof.
What kind of society,"
Good, bad, Indifferent, and mixed
ANY aristocracy
Nary one
What do your people do for living?'
Some work, some laze around--one' S
shrewd business manager, and several
drink whisky
SIS it cheap living there?'
Only five cents glass, and the water
thrown in
Any taste for music? ?
Strong. Buzz and buck saws in the day
time, and wolf bowling and cat fighting in
the night
Any pianos there?
No; but We have several COW bells, and
tin pan in every family?
What could a genteeI family in mode

Work. shave notes. fish, hunt, steal
or, if pinched, buy and sell town property

THE RAILROAD QUEsTIoN.-Much is
being said about Railroads and Railroad
bridges now-a days The Appeal seems to
f,vor the Oregon Road rather more than
the Vallejo. and believes the latter will
not reach Yuba City short of 1870, and
predicts the formrr running to Chico long
before. Now we think the Appeal is a
little muddled about the two roads. Some
time back it spoke of the early completion
OF the Vallejo road - "this CITY," etc, now
il favors the california and Oregon and
says it will reach Chico before the Vallejo
reaches Yuba City. We favor the Vallejo
road in toto, and will state upon as good
authority as can be had that the iron horse
will arrive in Yuba City inside of thirty
days. We can also safely state that the
other, road cannot compete with it in any
respect. The stages already bring passen-
gers from Knights Landing to Marysville
through from San Francisco beating the
California & Oregon in. What may we ex.
pect thirty days hence Passengers will
arrive at Marysville from the Bay at two
O'Clock in the afternoon of the same day.
The Vallejo is the shortest, quickest and
best route The cars crossed over the
Knights Landing bridge on the 18th. and
the track is being put down with rapidity,
there being force Of 100 men engaged.
The grading is about finished and the
bridges along the line are rapidly going up.

CONSUMPTION CURED AGAIN-Gali-
gnani's Messenger reports the following
latest cure of that ''incurable" disease,
consumption:
In paper published in the Bulletin de
Therapeutique, DR.. Clersoy. of Langres,
adverts to the therapeutic effects ofarsenic
in pulmonary complaints, and especially on
the virtue it seems 70 possess Of stopping
the splitting Of blood, a quality which he
has remarked several times, and of which
he quotes two instances. The first is that
OF u stonemason, man Of herculean frame,
and thirty six years of age. Being pas
sionately fond o. fishing and sporting, he
had repeatedly caught cold in the pursuit
of these pleasures, and in the end became
clnsumptive. He consulted Dir. Clarsoy
in May, 1867, when he had already been
suffering for upward Of year from
cough, accompanied with blood stained
approximations At times he had spit pure
blood in rather large qaantitiee From the
beginning he had been treated with cod
liver oil, iron bark, ana lastly with per-
chloride of iron in order to stop haemoph-
thlsis, which had become alarmingly fire.
quent.
This treatment having led to no favor
able result, DIR. Clersoy at length daily
administered six milligrams OF arseniate Of
soda for twenty days consecutively; then
interrupted it to give cod liver oil for the
following sixteen days, and so on alter
nately for three months, the patients tax
ing at the same time inflsions Of quassia
and wine of Jesuit bark At the end of
the very first week all splitting of blood
ceased, and by degrees all the digestive
functins got into order again the appetite
returned, dyspepsia disappeared, but there
still remained general weakness and the
cold. The same alternate treatment as
above was resumed, with slight variation,
for four months more, at the end of which
a complete cure was obtained, and no re-
lapse has been observed since. The other
instance was that of young man of twenty
nine, who for the last two years had been
splitting blood, and was in very bad state.
In this case also arseniate of soda has hith-
erto produced excellent effects, but it is
uncertain whether the cure will be quite
complete.
