AHAnD Casa story comes from a eishbor
ing town Of case Of unusual suffering, indif-
ference and exposure. 4 young woman was
taken i'll up OF The mountain. In the severity
af last Friday, the father-in-isw drove nine
miles for the family physicisn, who refused to
respond to the esil because engaged in a musical
convention. He then drove seven miles further
TO another town, when be sscertained that two
or three Of the physicians he first called upon
were out Of town, snd one or more Of the re-
mainier refused to 60. The messenger waited
until between nine and ten o'clock in the even
ing for the absent doctors 70 return, when he
started on bis return home alone. Riding seven
miles IN the face Of the wind Of that dreadful
night. TO smother town, he procured a doctor,
and together they reached the home on the
mountain az three O'Clock Saturday morning, IN
time to see the sick one die, but tee late to be
Of any service. The wonder is thst in that ride
Of sixteen miles over the mountains from nine
O'Clock Friday night until three Saturday NOM
ing the father did not perish also. 1t seems In
possible that any man could live through such
ride For the sske Of the medical profession
which we greatly esteem, we hope the above &C
count may be greatly exaggerated Calsi0HiaH.

The Texas Railroad.

From tho New Iberia Sugar-BOwi.
Judge j. Fl. Tsley, Jr., the general
land agent and attorney of the Chat
tan0aga Railroad, Mr.. Thomas Klein
peter, the division engineer, and Mr..
George Thompson, passed through
New Iberia Oh Saturday last, return
ing to New Orleans from an extended
trip along the main trunk and
branches of their road, where. they
had gone to arrange land disputes
and TO locate depots at different
points. They passed over the whole
length of the branch road from Fer-
milionville to Shreveport, where they
connect with the Southern Pacific
railroad and located depots nearly the
entire distance. This branch road,
as we'll rs all other branches built by
this company, will have guage one
foot narrower than OH the main trunk,
which will be q great benefit 10 the
towns where they form q junction
with the main line. Judge lsley in
formed us that these narrow guage
roads will be built because it is
believed all roads in the United States
will eventually adopt the narrow
guage track, and they are only build
ing the wide guage on the trunk road
because they are compelled to hy the
condition Of their charter.
While in Yernlilionville, the citizens
turned out en- masse, and marching in
procession with \ band Of music at
their head, finally halted at the place
where Judge Isley and Mr.. klienpeter
were invited to address the meeting,
which they did in the most eloquent
terms. There being some dispute
about fhe price of :. Gract of land
which the company wished 20 obtain
for depot and other buildings. che
citizens raised several hundred dollars
and offered the money to assist IN the
payment, bnt il was declined.
Judge Isiey is confident that Che
road viii be completed as tar as Yer
milionville and the cars running in
I time to carry to the market the crop
of cotton next Eear, The portion
between Vermilionyille and Grand
river has already been puG under con

sonville, o distance Of sixtysthret

| It is the intention of the company
to assist in building branch roads t.
all important points within a convent
en6 distance of the main line, ano
already steps have been taken tt
Duild road from Thibodaux 60 Don

at all improbable that o branch roat

to Termilionville. Whether this b
done or not, the Texas railroad vii
be of vast importance to New Iherii
and the whole country.
