Old Lawrence's relatives were not

her father among them, with Mr..
Grey, who had been spending his
Christmas at Thornbury. She looked

As both Grey and Shape were pres

the will should be opened and read
upon the spot. Several persons, with

their way into our drawing room, and
as nobody seemed inclined to turn

against the fireplace, and watching

Calro and YIncsnnes RaIIroad.

The following items in regard to
this enterprise, just now in state of
suspended animation, will be of
interest to a class Of our readers, who
desire to keep posted on the railroad
projects Of Southern Illinois:
The Cairo Bulletin is responsible
for the following:
We have very encouraging intima-
tons concerning the progress of ne
g0tiations that look to the resumption
of work on the Cairo and Vincennes
Railroad. The interval, siace the
suspension Of work, has been actively
employed by General Burnside, and
it is believed now, that he has an ar
raugement that VIII insure the com

of cOnsummatlon.
The friends of the road need wait
only a lite longer.
The Saline County Register says:
The Cairo & Viuoennes R~ilroad
Company are before the people with
an application for an extension of the
time allowed in their contract with
the County Court for the completion
Of their road. A special session of
the Court has been called to-day
(Thursaay) TO consider the matter,
and we learn that a very strong effort
will be made to defeat the extension.
We clip the following from the Mt.
Carmel Register
After SO many false reports having
been circulated ia regard to the

The projected Railroad from this
city. via Mitchell and Greensburg, in
this State, to the Ohio line, thence
making a through connection to San
dusky, is not. We fear, reci7ing as
much attention from our people as
the enterprise demands. Other pla-
oes are awaking to the importance of
the road. We notice that last week
the citizens of Greensburg held a
meeting in regard to the proposed
line Of road from Sandusky, Ohio, to
Evansville, via Eaton, Ohio, Liberty,
Greensburg. On motion Of Judge
Bonner, Committee, consisting Of
General Foley, Lieutenant Governor
Cumback, Col Gavin. Origen Thom-
son aud William NJ. Hamilton,
Esquires, was authorized to visit the
managers Of the line now building as
far as Eaton, and learn what is nee
essary to secure the location Of the
road through that city. The Green's
burg Standard says:
I'VE are creditably informed that
Commodore Vanderbilt has declared
himself ready to build the road as
soon as reasonable donations are made
BY counties along the line. This is
rendered more probable when we re-
dect that the New York Central will
By this route secure more direct com
munication with Nashville, Memphis
and other cities by her own road than
she can possibly do in any other way
The Erie and PENNSYLVANIA Central
have already siezed the routes through
Cincinnati and Indianapolis. com
polling Vanderbilt TO select some
other route. We hope that he may
see it is his interest to build this
road and without delay. An ad
journed meeting will receive the re-
port of the committee next Saturday
week at the court house. If fayora-
bic, the men along the line from
Olarksburg 20 Sardinia must be ready
to grant the right Of way and contrib
ute enough money to make the survey
Immediately.

Hon. ISAAC s. MOORE, Of Boon
vile, was IN the city on Friday last,
aud from him we learn that work vas
commenced on Wednesday last at
Newburg, on the Indiana North and
South Railroad, and that the people
are much elated over the prospect. 1t
is stated that the conditions of the
contract are for the completion Of the
south part of the line from Newburg
TO BoOnviHe by the LIST of December
next. We hope the expectations of
our neigbbors may be fully realized.
We have not had very strong con-
fdenoe in the success of DR.. Pieree's
enterprise, but certainly Evansville
will have no occasion to oppose its
completion.

Benton (Ills.) Standard, from which
we cut the following letter, written to
the people Of Franklin County onthe
eve of the late election on the rail-

To the People Of Franklin County. Illinois:
Having secured the contract to
buiId the Evansville & McLeansboro
Railroad from Evansville to the Wa
bash river, and thence TO McLeans-
boro. as soon as the necessary
Arrangements can be made, which
contract has been duly ratified, signed
and exchanged, we feel 1t our duty to
inform you II this public manner
that we proposed 10 d. i. Phillips,
ESQ. our competitor. that he should
construct his contemplated extension
through your country to McLeans
boro, and that we would give him a
guarantee Of every facility for both
freight aud passenger traffic, on per-
| feet equality with ourselves, over our
line to Evansville; but as he per-
emtoriiy declined this offer, we are
iustifed Ia believing that he was not
acsuated so much by a desire to serve
you as to iriure our railway.
Holding this to be the case, that no
argument is necessary 10 prove this
fact, aud that neither Mr. Phillips nor
any other prudent man will undertak Ike
to build line Of railway from Du-
quoin to The Wabash River upon the
basis Of the present subscriptions
without having a connection with Ev-
ansville, we take this method of as.
suriug you that K YOU fail to vote the
subscription the 9th inst. to the Du-
ouoin & McLeansboro Road, we will

MONDAY was the day fixed
for the opening of the Railroad
books. We can't say that our
people have crowded the Ma
tional Bank for that purpose,
but We cen say that the occa.
sion has shown that we have
live men amongst us, men who
have signifed their intention
to act literally In the matter
and that the prospects are en-.
couraging. Mr.. VIM. Sheber
was the first name on the: list,
with the liberal subscription Of
$4,000. Wealth in the hands
of such men as Mr.. Sheber is
q blessing to the community.
Let all others do as well in
proportion to their means, and
the iron horse will create new
life to our hills and valleys
sure.
From. appearances, we judge
We shall be able to announce
other liberal subscriptions next
week. There is a feeling that
the road must be built, and it
will show itself- Galzipolis

A letter written from Gal
lipolis on the 27th brings the
cheering intelligence that the
stock was being taken as rap
idly as was expected, $4,000
being subscribed at that time.
Mr.. Davis has commenced
soliciting subscriptions here.
He has done the principle part
of his work thus far with men
who have but little property,
are in moderate circumstances,
and therefore have not as
much monied interest at stake
as others. He has been very
successful, and if men Of prop
erty respond as literally, we
have a sure thing on the rail
road. We believe they will.
They know the benefit the road
will be to them and they must
not expect the poor man to
drag their lands into market.
Loose your purse strings. DO
something for the benefit OF
the public. You can't stay
here always, and you can't take
your money or your land to
heaven with you, 80 let it go
about the country doing good,
and it will return to you, and
your children and the public
will rise up and bless you as a
public benefactor. Let each
one give according to his
means, remembering that the
more we give the better we
make the stock, as the com
pany will then be placed be.

troubles in the first building of

What the Census is For.

There is an impression quite
prevalent that the national
census is to be a basis of taxa
tion, and hence many persons
are liable to undervalue their
property to avoid taxes. This
impression is entirely errone-
Gus, and should be dispelled, as
it Is very important that the
full value of all property-real
estate and personal-should be
given. No taxation whatever
is based on the valuation of the
census taker. The estimate il
for ascertaining the true wealth
of tie nation and of the severa
States, and it is the interest o
every citizen to return hi
property at full value.
