Mai. Firth, General Superintendent Of the Atch-
ison and Nebraska Road, informs rs that the IRON
will be put down, to-day, across the Howe truss
bridge at the fourth crossing of the Nemaha nver
one and q half miles from Humboldt, Nebraska,
and seventy-four miles from this city. To-mor-
low the excursi0nists to the Real Estate Conven-
tion at Nemaha grove will find the end Of the
track at the fifth crossing Of the Nemaha, one-half
mile from Humboldt, and in full view Of the town.
On the 10th Of October, prox., the regular trains
will commence running TO Humboldt, there con-
Meeting with stages for pawnee City and Tecun-
sch, to which points Humboldt is the nearest Rail-
road station. The mail train leaving Afchison ut
10 A. NJ. will connect with the train ON the ST. JO.
& Denver Road, for the West at Troy Junction
will stop for dinner at White Cloud, and will
reach Humboldt, (seyenty-fve and q half miles, J
at 3l5 p. II. Returning, it will leave Humboldt at
$40 p. NJ, stop at White Cloud for supper, and
reach AtchisOn at $50 NJ, which will allow pas
sengers q very good connection for the East and
South by the night trains from Atchison.
Maj. Firth says the Company hopes soon to
meet the wants of its patrons upon the line of the
st. Jo. & Denver Road, but its business does not
now warrant the running Of two passenger trains,
and the mail train, which makes the round trip,
cannot leave Atchison before the arrival Of st.
Louis trains.
The mixed train will continue to run between
Falls City and Atchison, as at present, reaching
here at 11:50 A. NJ, and leaving at 2:30 p NJ.
BY the new arrangement passengers from Atch-
ison may spend some hours at any station south
of Dawson's Mills, and return the same day.
The supply train will be run daily between
Humboldt and White Cloud, but not always at
the same hour
The grading of the Road is completed Ind ready
for the iron az far as Table Rock, eighty-four
miles from Atchison. and the contracts for the
grading between Fable Rock and Tecumseh. if
teen miles, will be let during the coming week.
Bv December 1st Maj. Firth says be expects to
take an Atehison party to Teeumseh and home
again the SAME day.
The Picnic and Real Estate Convention at the
Nemaha grove on Thursday (to-morrow, } promises
to be we'll attended, and the Southern Nebraska
people will improve the occasion to combine their
efforts with those of the Company to attract at
tentiOn and immigration to their beautiful and
fertile country. We hope that all of our citizens
who have received invitations to attend on this
occasion, and who can do SO, will be present, and
meet with the people of Southern Nebraska.
Maj. Firth also informs us that on Friday OctO-
Der 9th. he intends inviting the people of Hum
boldt, Dawson's Mills and Salem to take free
ride over the Road to Atchisou, and will allow them
time enough, while here, to visit the great Nor
thern Kansas District Fair. He intends asking
Maj. Downs for permission to run this excursion
train over the Central Branch to the Fair Grounds
at Woodland Park and We have no doubt that
permission will cheerfully be given.
On Wednesday and Thursday 4th and 5th of Octo-
Der, the Road will run excursion trains from White
Cloud to this city, to attend the Fair, carrying
passengers at half rates. The excursion train
will arrive here at 945 A. NJ, and leave at Sis r.
NJ, on each of these days.
A fine locomotive, No. 6. to mate No. g. arrived
yesterday. 1t is heavy freight engine, from the
celebrated Manchester works. This makes the
power Of the Road ample, it consisting of seven
locomotives, all in excellent condition. The ex-
tension Of the line will give them sufficient en-
ployment very soon.
The Company has full supply of rails on hand
for the extension of the line, and all track mate
