ST. l.. 4 X. r. Rat the adjouncd
meeting Of our County Court on Monday
last, several Directors of the St. Louis and
Keokuk raiload were in attendance from
Rails, Pike, and St. Louis counties, ac.
companicd by Judge j. d. s. Dryden,
attorney for the rood. Their appearance
in Court was opportvnc, as petitions were
presented from some citizens of Hurri
cane and Monroe townships, praying that
the order Of the Court made at the Au
gust term, 1863, subscribing $500, 900 to
the capital stock Of the road, be rescinded
aud set aside.
After the reading of the resolutions, o
call was made for Judge Dryden to be
heard on tho subject. He addressed the
Court in q short.argument on che law of
the case, claiming that the Judges have
no power to retract, and that the county
was irrevocably bound to fulfil its con.
tract.
Assurances were also given to the
Court by some of the Directors of the
road that the Company were at once
ready to proceed with the work of surveys
location, and construction in the county
Of Lincoln. In this connection it was also
stated that work had been commenced ia
Rails county, beginning at the Hannibal &
St. Joe. railroad, and seven miles of the
road were now in process Of construction
both north and south of Salt river; q
heavy force of men being also at work on
the construction Of bridge over Salt
river, which is under contract to be com
pleted by the lst Of October next.
We understand that it IL not only the
wish, but to the interest, Of the Company
to press the work from the South eud
with the least possible delay, and we
learn that the whole line from tho Han
nibal l. st. Joe railroad to the North
Missouri railroad, 10 under contract tt
Mess. Wolf & Carpenter, who have had ,
long experience in building railroads
having during the last twenty years bull
nearly one thousand miles of road aud
never failed on any contract. ..
To all this We heartily say, speed th,
work.

and enterprise cannot be confined. Like
water they seek their level. They will
stretch their Brcarian arms like SO many
arteries, throughout oil parts of the
county.
In pressing the foregoing considera.
tions upon the attention OF our county
directors, and through them upon that Of
the directors Of the railroad company, l
respectfully ask in the name and behalf Of
the citizens Of the county, surrey over
this direct, and feasible route to Bowling
Green via Millwood, Louisville and
Ashley.
This is my main objec. IN wiring this
communication. l doubt not but that
the railroad direct srs, after having sur.
vcyed the whole ground will locate the
road for the best Interests IF the count y
and Of the company. Locate it where
they may, we, tho advocates of tho route,
will not raise voice Of objection. But
we say to Lincoln county, heal your local
divisions and come up to the work in ono
united effort; for in union there is
strength; in disruption there ic nothing
but confusion and dsmay. Permit this
golden opportunity to be lost forever Of
securing this grand trunk road from
Orleans to the head waters of tho Missls
sippi to puss through your county, the
fate of your county will then be consigr ed
80 the dead, slow process Of dirt roads, to
iuertncss and to incf6ciency. To avoid
such a catastrophe, and to place youI
county in the foremost rank Of sur
rounding counties, let me again invoke
one united effort Of the citizens Of the
whole county. CITIZEN.

AUBURN, May 30, 1S'

Editor Herald. have been a reader
Of tho Herald for several years, and have
never yet seen single article in il from
this place. Now we do think that as
community VIC ore entitled to some notice
in your columns.
We have in this vicinity some Of the
finest farming land in Lincoln county,
nearly all Of which is we'll improved and
under a high state of cultivation. For
grain growing and stock raising this por'
tlon of the county equ'ls, II it does not
excel, any other part Of il.
Our farmers, as general thing are
looking for on abundant yield in the com
ing crop. The cern, which in most cases
is promising, is needing rain very much
at this time. The oat fields are looking
very we'll, but like the corn they are suf.
fering for rain. A great many oats were
sowu and a very large yield is expected.
The wheat crop, though greatly injured
by the severe weather of last winter, is
looking splcndidly and while many far.
mers arc not expecting the ordinary yield,
many others confidently look for as large
crop as that harvested last year. The
culture of tobacco seems to be increasing
in this neighborbood. Quite q number
Of farmers who, for several years past
have looked upon tobacco as an unprodt.
abe article OF produce, will plant it this
year.
Business in our town has been unssu.
ally lively since the beginning of the
spring trade. The merchants here are
constantly bringing on and opening new
goods which they say they will, and do
sell cheaper than similar goods are sold
elsewhere.
The Auburn branch Of the c. p. & P.
rock road is progressing rapidly under
the direct supervision Of the contractor,
Judge W. Z. Orr, who promises an early
completion of the whole line Of road
All the grading is finished, excepting
about two and a half or thee miles.
The road is rocked and ready for use for
nearly two miles norih Of this place
also about one mile south of and next te
the county line is completed, leaving q
distance Of about four miles yet to rock
tho whole of the road tbrough Pike

The culverts have all been completed

Kelsey, of Clarksville, for the immediate
tuilding of the bridges A portable saw

ULn Dame a In CIef.'

One of the Paris journals announces the
death, at Versailles, Of Russian lady who
appeared in the drawing rooms of Paris in
1S49 and 1S49, and was nicknamed the ''Dame
la Clef." She died, aged forty-fve, in the
most complete solitude 1t is said that her
husband who vas much older than she, came
to see her for week or two every six months,
and went away again no one knew whittier.
All was mysterious about this Lady of the
Key. Last month the husband did not return
as usual, but letter came announcing his
death. The widow survived him few days
only, and it is supposed she allowed herself to
die of hunger. Whether true or not, this was
the story that was whispered about her when
she appeared in Paris, young and beautiful,
more than twenty years ago. 1t is said
that her husband surprised her in little
country house which he possessed near
Moscow at the moment she was hastily shut
ting somebody up in wardrobe. a servant
had betrayed her. The Muscovite "Othello"
turned the key twice in the wardrobe, took 1T
out, then told bis wife to follow him. A
travelling britzska stood few PAGES from the
villa. More dead than alive, the unhappy
woman obeyed. When the husband had
placed her in the carriage, and given an order
in q low voice to the coachman, ''Keep this
key," he said to his wife, 81 have forgotten
something and will return, and then went
back to the house. He returned according to
his promise, but as the carriage descended the
hill the poor woman saw the flames issuing
from the windows of the country house and
taking full possession of it. She tainted away,
and on regaining her senses perceived that
q gold chain was riveted round her neck to
which the little key Of the wardrobe was
attached. She wished to kill herself, but her
husband threatened her that if she committed
suicide he would reveal her misconduct and
cover her and her family with dishonor. She
was therefore condemned to live and her
strange necklace excited much curiosity in
Paris. At last her tyrant allowed her to re-
tire into quiet retreat on the express stipu-
lation that she would not attempt to destroy
herself during his lifetime. His death re-
leased her from this condition; but she had
languished for more than twenty years, hav-
ing the witness of her guilt always before her
eyes. 1t is a curious story; we wonder
! whether it is true

A DOUBLE DEATHS STROKE.
Terrible Tale OF Domestic Suffering.

The Chillicothe (Ohio) Register says
On Thursday of last week, MIR. Edward
Young, an old man of about 20 years of age,
residing in Concord township, six miles from
Frankfort, and well known there and here,
came to this city on business, and started home
the same day. going as far as Frankfort, where
he remained over night The next morning
(Friday) he started to complete the trip but on
reaching Patterson's Ford, on the north fork of
Paint, which was high and rising at the time,
his buggy was upset by the rapid stream, and
Mr.. Young thrown out and drowned The acci-
dent was witnessed by Mr.. NJ. V. Briggs who
was crossing the ford at the same time, and also
by young man named Huffard, who was at
work in field q short distance below. The
latter ran out on log and caught the body of
Mr.. Young as it came down, but was himself
drawn into the stream and would probably have
also been drowned had not Mr.. Briggs ran to
his rescue and drawn him to land by means of
Dole.
After rescuing the body of the unfortunate
Mr.. Young the parties started to take it to his
late residence, and on his way there passed the
house of Mr.. Absalom Bryant, his stepson. The
wife of the latter, when she saw the wagon con-
tanning the body drive past, was heard to ex-
claim, Poor grandpa!" and Immediately after
complained of strange, chilly feeling. Heavier
clothing was put on, and other means used to
free her from the unpleasant sensation, but
without avail, and some time after, on her hus-
band coming to the house, she sat down by him,
and complaining of the coldness of her back,
asked him to rub it. He was in the act of COM
plying with her request, when Mrs. Bryant fell
picture, the awfulness of the shock to the hus-
band and family is beyond the power of Ian
guage. Mrs. Bryant was about 80 years of age
and leaves two little children. Up to the hour
of her seeing the corpse of Mr.. Young she was
in her usual good health.
