CHOW TEuPUs DOES Fua1T -

The editor Of the Faribault Leader
discourses At some length on the rapid
ana mysterious fight Of time. The
opening paragraph Of tho article We
deem worthy Of presentation to our
readers, who We know, can appreciate q
goo' thing when they see it.:
"The velocity of time passes so rap
idly before Us, that we are unable to
comprehend its effects upon our earth
ly career: While engaged 10 the busy
scenes of life We are not conscious o:
its insiduous course, and before We are
aware the years have come and gone
with such rapid'ty that before We are
aware We are descending the western
declivity, where our sun il fast setting,
no more to cheer or animate our fraii
and cumbersome bark on the boisterous
stream Of time. Yet amidst the
thoughts of declining years, and the
rapldity of our mortal existence, We
have a consolation arising from the
declaration of the great 4 AM that as
the last ray Of earthly light is recediog
before our vision, the efalgeut bright.
ness Of the Morning Star, Che Star OF
Bethlehem is esioning to shine upon
our immortal being that shall continue
to augment in power to illuminate our
heavenly existence to all eternity
What mortal, then, who. has the rec.
ord of we'll spent life, would desire
to delay the wheels of time 10 order to
leogtben out the day when he shall
emerge from the sordid things of time
into the eostacies Of the heavenly ca.
naan."
The moving cause Of this train
of thought is stated as follows:
"As proof of the swiftness of time,
We announce to our patrons, (which
We doubt If they reslized) that the
present issue is the first number of the
second volume of the Faribault Lead

THE BRAlNERD BRANCH UNDER
CONTRACT.

We learn from the St. Paul Press of
yesterday that at a recent meeting Of
the Directors of the St. Paul and Pa
oidc Railroad Company, it was finally
decided to proceed Immediately to the
completion Of the Brainerd Branch Of
that road, and the contract was accord.
ipgly let on Tuesday to Wallace & Co.,,
another name for De Graf, Crooks e.
% , for the grading, tieiug aud laying
the iron at the exceedingly low figure
of $3.50 per mile. Tho Company,
OF course, supply the iron. The con-
tractors agree to complete the road from
Sank Rapids to Brainerd by the first
Of December. This will give st. Cloud
direct connection with tho Northern
Pacific, Duluth and the Eastern mar
kets, so that our farmers can certainly
count upon better margin on their
grain, as compared with Eastern Erices,
than ever before received.
The Press adds:
'This, however, will not delay operations
on the Otter Tail and Pembina branches
which are to be put under contract as soon
~ the surveys are completed, and those
lines will be under full Roadway next year,
and the locomotive will be on its way to
Pembins by the close of 1872. But the
completion Of the Drainerd Branch will
connect the Northern Pacific by q short
line with st. Paul-its Mississippi terminus
,-and with the great trunk lines running
to Chicago from this point, and thus rescue
it from its temporary isolation from the
great railroad system of the country. 1t is
probable that by the time set for the COM
pletion Of the Brainerd Branch. the North
ern. Pacific will he completed to Red River,
and the main line of the st. Paul & Pacific
will DO completed long before that or about
the 18th Of September to Breckinridge, on
the Red River"
The Pioneer Of to-day makes the fol-
lowing statement:
''Surveyiug parties are engaged IN ]ocat-
ing the line, which will probably run pia
Sank Centre, Alexandria. Furgus Falls,
and thence in nearly direct line north to
St. Vlncents. The road from Sank Rapids
to Brainerd is to be completed by the LIST Of
December, and the entire line to St. Vim
cents by the 1st Of March, 1873. The work
will be commenced Of once and pushed with
oil speed"
