HedfH Hunting W Colorado

Samuel Bowles in the last atlantic.
speaks as follows of Health Hunting in
Colorado.
The saddle and the camp are the true
conditions of extended travel or |. sum-
mer's life in Colorado. A party of four
well mounted on mules or Western pom
les, with guide and servant, and two
pack-mules for tents and blankets and
food, can gain such experience of
rare nature, such gift of health, such en-
down-ent of pleasure, in leisurely travel
over its mountains and among its parks
lingering by the side of their beautiful
lakes and their abundant streams fat
with trout, basking in its sunshine,
hunting in its woods, and bathing in
its mineral springs as nowhere else that
l known of in all America. This is
surely destined to be the correct thing
todo," fOrthe pleasure and health seek
ers OF the future America.
Over in Middle Park, two days horse
back ride from Georgetown, are the
famous Hot Sulphur Springs "a douche-
bath and sitZ-bath united, such as on

as human flesh can bear,-and pours

Il frame BuildinO 2? Mites ia
Length.

Persons who pass hastily over the
Union Pacific Railroad hardly give a
thought to tie immense amount of
work which has been performed by the
Company. From Sacramento to the
present terminus of the road, at Exc,
the trains are once more running regu-
larry.
The immense amount of money and
labor expended in cutting through
mountains, opening tunnels, grading
the road and laying the track can with
difficulty be realized by those not famil-
lar with the business. Not the least of
the problems to be solved was that of
protecting the track from the heavy
falls of snow which were to be anticipa-
ted during the winter months. To OBJ
viate this difficulty as far as possible,
the Company determined to erect a
series of sheds, o. rather one building
which should protect the road over the
snow line. Accordingly they have
erected building which is doubtless
long, Is feet wide, and Is feet high,
not including the pitch of the roof. 1t
is put up in the most substantial man
ner, all of the timbers used being of the
best quality to be obtained. The sides
are inclosed, and were it not for the fact
that daylight penetrates through the
interstices between the boards, the
whole affair would be very like huge
tunnel. The building is braced togeth-
er in Il most peculiat manner, and is
firmly bolted to the rocks whenever the
road nears the face of cliff. Where
snow slides are to be feared, an extern
sion of the roof has been carried to the
cliffs, so that falling m sses shall pass
over the building and lodge on the 9TH
er side. In many places, where side
tracks are located, the.building is wider
than the figures given above
More than 100000 feet of lumber
have been used in its construction. 1t
covers an area of over 100000 square
feet, or nearly A acres. One of the best
proofs of the stability of the structure is
in the fact that, with the exception of
few miles which had not been really
completed, it Thoroughly answered the
purpose for which it was designed dur
ing the recent severe storm, in which
it was snbjec,e to the most severe tests.

The -AccitieMt Ut GrUHby.

A few facts relative to the scene of
the accident mentioned in yesterdays
TRANSCRIPT may not be unintercsting
to our readers.
The village of CRANKY is situated on
the banks of the Yamaska River, and
Is about E8 miles from st. Johns, on the
$. S. & c. r. II. The river, at the
place of the accident, runs nearly west,
and is spanned by two bridges. The
lower one-ths one which fell--was
built about twelve years ago, and was
composed of two abutments, about 80
feet high, with a span of about 40 feet.
About 100 yards below is the dam of the
grist-mill belonging to .ir. 5. III. G.
Miner, and when the water is high the
current here runs very swift. The rail-
road track passes along the edge of the
river, and crosses the south end of the
bridge, making the shore on the south
side of the river steep, without a twig or
projection to enable any on getting in
to save themselves. The water falls
about twenty feet over the dam, then
passes through rough, rugged and
crooked channel for nearly 100 yards
more before it reaches the dam below
80 that even an expert swimmer could
hardly escape with his life if he fe.l
in.
The families bereaved are among the
most influential in the village, and are
all old residents.
Mr.. S. H. c. Miner, proprietor of two
saw mills, a grist mill, and tannery,
has to deploIe the loss of loving and
accomplished wife and a little daughter
Mrs. Miner leaves child about six
months old.
Mrs. Sergeant Mrs. Miners mother)
was formerly resident of Durham
Flats. but has resided ut CRANKY about
seven years.
Mr.. John Bradford, retired mer-
chant, has lost his wife and young SON
and daughter. thus having his whole
family swept off at once. Mrs. Brad
ford's sister Miss Harvey j. also among
the missing. Mrs. Bra dford and Miss
Harvey are sisters to Mr.. Charles Har-
yer, carpenter and joiner, of st. Adams.
Mr.. p. Hackett was also retired
merchant, and has been for many years
Justice of the Peace. He leaves a
wife and four children.
Mr.. f. b. Gilmour is merchant,
and leaves a wife and child. Their old
est boy, about twelve years of age, was
drowned with his father.
Mr.. Il. Harvey, proprietor of cabi-
net factory, has lost his wife.
1t is seldom, very seldom, that small
place like CRANKY, has to lament the
loss OF so large number of its promi-
nent citizent at once.

the recoiling water baffied him. Capt.

Notwithstanding Senator Ross's par

his impertinence to the President,
there are many witnesses to whom he
narrated it just as it was published,
profanity anda all. After his vote on the
impeachment, Andy Johnson gave him
entire control of all offices in Kansas,
and he used his lever to fill all the offices
in that State to which he could get ac-
cess with his friends, or men like him
