oAIETY or SPRING FABRICS.

Each succeeding month brings forth
something new in spring and summer dress
goods, the beauty OF which would seem to
admit Of no improvement, yet in every
arrival we see something new to admire,
something prcttier than ever. Fabrics for
1870 are about the same us those worn hast
year, but are heater and prettier. Piques,
mar.eilles, percales, ehintz, figures and
stripes, japanese poplins, etc, are eagerly
sought for and make neat and economical
suits for spring wear. X. A. Cunningham
has q full supply Of these goods and is selling
them 20 per cent cheaper than last year.
Why 10 it that his store is so popular
among those wishing dress goods 1t is
because he keeps the assortment and dis
poses Of them At prices which cannot prove
otherwise than satisfactory. His store is
crowded every day and his goods eagerly
sought for. For new and desirable goods

IRON CAIRO TO NEW YORK.

The trip from Cairo to New York, ria
the lllino, Central and Pennsylvania
Central, can be accomplished in about forty
hours. The fast New York train, which
leaves Chicago ut II o'clock, am, runs
over the Pennsylvania Central from Pitts
burg to Mantua, making only two stops,
viz; at Altoona and Harrisburg. On Mon
day this fast train made the run from Al
toona TO Harrisburg, l3l miles, without n
stop the engine only using one tank Of wa
ter. This road does not seek 10 make quick
time so much through fast running rs by
avoiding those frequent local stoppages
which not only consumes the time, but the
patience of the traveller.

THE REST EOTTE EAST.

4 fact worth knowing TO those travelling
East by the Fort Wayne a Pennsylvania
Railroad is that the quick time is not made
by unusual high rate of speed, hut by long
continuous runs without stopping. We
think the longest run in the United States
by any road, without stopping to wood or
water is that oftbe Pennsylvania Railroad,
from Altoona TO Harrisburg, 49, miles.
The train leaving Chicago at / u. NJ,
reaches New York the next afternoon in

using this precaution, passengers are only
going AT the usual speed, fact which,
when fully understood, must make this a

"A male bald eagle was shot in Dan

man about Is years old. 1t answered
the description given in Thompson's Yer
mont, viz: Color Of the body, dark
brown meek and tail and tail coverts
white; bill and cere yellowish white
soles of feet, yellow, rough and warty;
iris, pale yellow length from tip to tip,
six feet nine inches weight about ten
pounds. The color of the head and tail
of this species of bird is not clear white
until its third year. The color of this
birds feathers, and the form of its beak
assured us that it was but two years old.
1t usually lives on fish, but sometimes
robs the farm yard of its fowls, and the
fields Of its lambs. The apparent strength
of wing and limb of this bird would indi-
cate its ability to bear to its mountain
perch, good sized lamb. This bird is
the adopted emblem of our country. 1t
is often seen in Vermont but is not
known to nest here. The egg Of this
species of bird in our possession is OF a
brownish white. There are usually four
of them in the nest, and are hatched 10
! May.
The bird was passed to Il young man 10

whom it will be preserved, and may
be eventually presented to the cabinet Of
