Shreveport.
The Southwestern saws:

The Southeastern says
We had the pleasure of an interview with
Colonel Cochrane, the Vice President OF the
Baton Rouge road, who reached this place
on the La Belle yesterday from New Or
leans Colonel Cochrane visits Shreveport
in the interest of his road, and in connection
with the election held yesterday. The rati-
fcation of the ordinance at the polls will
secure the signing of the contract for the
building of the road by the properly author
lied contracting parties. Colonel Cochrane
will return to New Orleans almost imme-
diately, where he expects to meet Senator
Pomeroy, the president of the road which
he represents. Surveyors will commence
operations for the location of the road bed
from this point at an early day. and grading
from this end, it is expected, will be insti-
tuted about the first of August. We were
informed by Mr.. Cochrane that his company
had effected satisfactory financial arrange
ments, and were fully able to construct their
road to this place. We shall be glad to
chronicle the time, now so near in the future,
when the first sbovelfull of dirt will index
the pathway of a great railroad outlet to
the ocean.
The Gazette had call from Colonel Coeh-
rane, and that paper says:
He informed us that there has been a con-
solidation of all the railroads in Kansas
leading South with this road, and that
continuous line will be formed from Kansas
City to New Orleans, over the Red River
Valley road. He assures us that the company
has ample means, and that the largest capt.
talists and most enterprising railroad men
in the country are interested in 1t.

Lead Ore.

One of the richest veins of lead ore in the
United States has been discovered on the
Ohio river, in the property of the Rose Clare
Mining Company, Rose Clare, Hardin
county, Illinois. The vein is fourteen feet
wide, and runs through their property to the
extent of mile Shafts have been sunk to
the depth OF two hundred feet, and the min
eral increases in richness, with large per
centage of silver. Experienced miners from
Wales and England pronounce 1t a. true
vein, with all the indications of deep depo-
sit of galena Immediate steps will be taken
for an essay, while those familiar with lead
ore say it will yield eighty per cent: The
deposit is accompanied with vein of fuor
SPAR of itself valuable as fux in manufac-
turing glass and iron, and in smelling silver
and gold.

The Antics of Two Sisters i'm Illinois
Under the Influence of a Beldame and

CHICAGO, June 27.-The town of Frank
fort, Perry county, Illinois, is greatly ex-
cited over what the citizens regard as a
clear case of witchcraft, recently developed
in the vicinity of that town. Two
Young ladies. daughters of James Williams,
are the victims. 1t has been thought by
the neighbors for some time past that
something was wrong with the girls, and
few DAVIS since physician was called to
visit them. but he failed to discover the
difficulty. Since that time immense CROWDS
have visited the girls, averaging from nifty
to one hundred each night. They are per
fectly sane during the day, but at the APP
proacb of night they become frenzied and
uncomfortable, performing feats that wonid
put first class acrobats to shame; scalhg
the house, they will dance and gyrate on
the comb of the roof with perfect ease ana
IMMUNITY, uttering at the same uline the
most hideous and frenzied screams. very
frequently while performing such Ieats
they fall perfectly rigid with spasms' put
they never fall off, however near the caves
thew NAV be. During the day. at which
time thew are perfectly sane, they seem
modest and reserved. The spell comes
upon both at nearly the same time, gen
eralIy during the twilight, when they both
break into a run. They always run north,
in the direction of the house of a lady who,
thew say, has bewitched them. These
spells are put on them, they say, on ac-
count of their telling something that she
forbade them to do, and that she and cat
are with them on their house-top dance.
Their conversation, when laboring under
these spells, is an unknown tongue. They
catch and eat all the flies they can get hold
of until nausea is produced, when they
both vomit at the same time. What one
does the other does at the same time; they
seem to be moved by one controlling
power

The Steam Wagon-An Iron Gians-How
i'll oes-The Masterpiece of Lo9omo.

IL GOes-The Master.piecc VI Luz "o-
ton.
From the Corinne Reporter June 1871
Colo ell Hyde's grand triumph, the steam
wagon or road locomotive, was all around
town to day. At eleven o'clock 1t started
across the track, bounding over ties and
bitches, then upon the north side, where 1t
was guided over toward the waterworks to
drink. Several hundred gallons of Hiram's
tank sutficed to slake the monsters thirst,
and away it went again. We have de-
scribed this consolidation of mile horse and
OK teams before, but did not see its caper-
ing movements until this morning. Why 1t
appears to swing around in the road at the
command of the steering apparatus, easier
than a man could turn wheel5arrow on
matched floor! This great engine will draw
thirty or forty tons of freight in tralled
vans or wagons as readily as it moves IN
loaded. Mr.. Hanscom, the builder of the
car, acted as pilot to-day, and surely his
pride as a mechanic must have been fully
satisfied in the wonderful work of the over
land steamer. 1t Is the king of the road in
every way. In twenty feet it turns COM
pletely around, going at its speed, stops
at the touch of a valve, and when desired to
move on takes up its march with a step that
ordinary Instructions can not retard. On
the next trip of the steamer this wagon is to
be taken across the lake by Colonel Hyde,
and there put to work hauling ores and
freights to and from the mines to the land
ing. We rejoice at its great success to-day,
and while seated on its steady front, close
by Mr. Hanscom, wished the glory of ln-
venting or manufacturing so useful a ma
chine would some time be ours.

A Washington special of Tuesday to the

A washington special OF TUESDAY 10 tne
Louisville Courier-Jour1iat says:
Isaac f. Sheppard, chairman of the Re
publican State Committee Of Missouri, is
expected to return with the President to-
morrow. Great anxiety is manifested as to
the success of his mission for the removal of
General Smith as postmaster of ST. Louis.
The petition for it is couched in the strong
est erms, and signed by Collector Ford, E.
w. Fox, Marsh Newcomb, Ex-Governor
McClurg, and numerous other uncOmpro-
missing radicals, setting forth that General
Smith is not considered a Republican. hay
ing refused to commit himself either way.
The removal of Supervisor Mcdonald is
likewise demanded in the same petition,
wherein he is said to be morally and polit-
ically unfit for any Office. The fact of his
having recently called on the executive for
troops to afford protection for the enforce
ment of revenue laws against Ku-Klux in
Missouri must have endeared him to the
President
