Leaving the East and arriving at Chicago or
Indianapolis, how shall we reach the West |?
The best Line is acknowledged to be the c., b.
d O., joined together with the b. q M. Railroad
by tho Iron Bridge at Burlington and called
the Burlington Route.
The main line OF the Route running to Oma-
ha, connects with the great Pacific Roads, and
forms to-day the leading route to California
The Middle Branch, entering Nebraska at
Plattsmouth, passes through Lincoln, the State
Capital, and will this year be finished to Fort
Kearney, forming the shortest route across the
Continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch Of the b. NJ, diverging at
Red Oak, falls into line running down the
Missouri through st. Joe to Kansas City, and
all Kansas Passengers by this route to Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa. and Missouri,
and, by a slight divergence, can see Nebraska
also.
Lovers Of fine views should remember the
Burlington Route, for it's towns "high-gleam-
ing from afar"-its tree-fringed streams-its
rough bluffs and quarnes-its corn-oceans
stretching over the prairies further than eye
can reach.
Land-buyers will be sure to remember it, for
they have friends among the two thousand who
have already bought farms from Geo. S. Harris,
the Land Commissioner of the b. & NJ. r. r.
at Burlington, Iowa, or among the four thou
sand home-steaders and pre-emptors who last
year filed claims in the Lincoln land Office.

The famous GUMBLEToN murder case has
been concluded in Chicago, and ZIEaENMEYER
has been found guilty OF the crime charged
against him, the jury, according to the prac-
tee in the State Of illinois, fixing his punish
ment at imprisonment for life. This has been
one Of the most singular cases IN the annals OF
crime. GUMBLKroN and ZIEGENMEYKR arrived
in Chicago and took q room together, neither
of them being known to a single individual in
that city. ZIEaENMEYRR murdered his friend
and threw bis body into the lake, and then
changing his boarding house, assumed the
name OF the man he had murdered. In the
character Of GUMBLUToN he procured from
Baltimore check for nearly $8,0 money
that the murdered man bad deposited there,
and succeeded in getting the check cashed in
Chicago. For the purpose OF establishing his
identity ZILaENMEYER, in the character Of GUM
BLEroN, negotiated for the purchase Of . farm
and thus induced the owner of that property to
90 TO the bank with him and vouch for his be-
ing GUMBLEroN. After the money was obtain
ed on the check, the man who had barGained
with him in relation to the farm saw no more
of his customer. Not satisfied with the money
be had obtained, ZIsoENMEYHR, in his greed
even sold the old clothes and other persona

count book belonging to GUMBLEroN, utterl!

In Hardware there is unusual steadiness. Glass

The Professionals of Canada are in ferment
over the Roman Catholic opposition to the
preaching and Bible distributing Of Protestant
missionaries. On Sunday last Father Chiniquy
preached at 10 hette, morning and evening" to
Roman Catholic audiences. In the morning he
was unmolested, but in the evening attempts
we're made to assault him by mob which
threatened to hang him and all the Professionals
OF the place. On the previous Monday Mr..
Muraire went out to the volunteers camp at
Point Levi to distribute Bibles, when he was
assailed by number of soldiers with stones,
beef bones, pieces Of tirewood and other mis-
siles. and driven out OF camp, the officers APP
proving the outrage. a public meeting was
held in Montreal last Monday evening to ex-
press indignation at these proceedings, and a
deputation of the leading Professionals Of Que
bee has waited upon Sir George Cartier to de-
mand a military inquiry into the assault upon
Mr.. Muraire.
