'hc great westward movement of emcgra.
ZION. Crossing illinois and Iowa, il strikes
the Missouri River At three points.
These three points arc the gatcways into
three great sections of the trans Missouri

The Northern gate is Omaha where the
great Pacific road will take you to the land
Of gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and
perpetual summer.
The Middle gate is plattsmoutlI, which
opens upon the South half of Nebraska,
south of the Platte river, region unsur.
passed on the continent for agriculture and
gazing. Just here are the B, & NJ, Rail
road lands, concerning which Geo. :. llar.

The Southern gate leads to Kansas by
connections with the st Joe Road at Ham

City.
The trains of the Burlington run smooth

lsrERRsrISa TO DRUoGIsrs. = Gen Alfred
Pleasanton, the Internal Revenue Commits
sioner, has recently decided that the re-
peal Of fhe special tax on apothocaries by
section first Of the act of Congress Of July

the same liability as any person whatever,
Tor the sale Of distilled spirits, wine or
liquors In any quantity, ond without ro-
ference TO the purposes for, OF manner In
which they are sold. The Commissioner
decides that the act Of July f4th' 1870
abolishes the exemption heretofore provided
Tor the apothecaries, under paragra ph
@irty.three. section seventy nine, Of the
act OF Congress Of June 30, 1864. This
paragraph, which II Is decided, has bee n
repealed, provided that apothecariss who
aad taken out license as such should not

A PROPENSITY FOR TWINS.

The Louisville COurier-JoGTSaGl has
the following: About one mile from
Jamestown, Russell county, there lives
one of the most remarkable families in
all this commonwealth, and probably
in the United States. Mr.. James JEFF
fries, who is now in this city serving
upon the petit jury in the United States
Court, tells his own story, and says that
he was married before he was seven
teen years old, his wife being only five
days younger than himself. They lived
together seven years without children,
when his wife gave birth to twins, q
boy and girl. In the fifteen years
which followed, nineteen children were
born to the happy couple, each of the
first three births being twins, and each
subsequent birth alternating between
twins and single births until the fifteen
years were accomplished and nineteen
children composed the family circle,
seven pair Of twins being born during
the time. Mr.. Jeffries is only forty
five years old and is still youthful in
appearance and very stout. His wife
