Railroad EEtenss.

According to the London (Canada)
41dCertiSep, the winter season just eX
pired has been the most successful OF
any since the Great Western railway
first came into operation.
1t is announced that the final con-
tract for grading the entire line of the
Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern rail-
road between Toledo and Ann Arbor,
has been completed, and active opera
tions will be commenced at once.
The preference for narrow guage
railroads on short lines, which is evined
in many portions of the United States,
has extended to Canada, and the Cana
dian papers are now advocating the con-
struction of similar lines in various direC-
tons, and more particularly line to
connect Montreal and Quebec.
The Albany people are getting furi-
Gus because it is announced that the
company called the West Shore and
Chicago Railroad Company, in con-
structing their road, will go no further
north than Catskill. At that point they
will diverge toward the west and will
strike the Mohawk Valley near Science
tady leaving Albany by herself alone.
"A correspondent of the Orleans
american calls attention to the New
York Central Railroad bridge over Oak
Orchard Creek, in the village of Medina
The writer claims that this bridge is Just
nineteen years old, that the main section
of the trestle-work is one long span rest
ing on abutments, and that span only a
few days ago settled eight inches under
the weight Of passing train. If these
statements be true, the structure in qucs-
ton demands the immediate attention of
the company.
The Rondout Freeman relates that
a few days since, as an eastward bound
train on the ROndout and Oswego Rail
road stopped at ShOkan, the collector of
the town of Olive was on hand with a
posse of men and a chain to prevent the
train from proceeding any further. The
chain was passed around the back end of
the rear car, but before it could be fast
ened to anything substantial the engineer
Of the locomotive was made aware of
how matters stood. and he threw the
throttle wide open and started the train
with jump. The effect on the collect
Or's posse, who had hold Of the loose end
Of ssthe chain, was the same as that on
the Indians who attempted to capture a
train on the Pacific road with lariat,
and some of that posse are turning
sOmersaults yet.

which $5S, 900 had been paid, leaving an
unprovided balance of $58, 900 unpaid.
Mr.. Ives presented a proposition, giving
five years to pay the subscription. The
result was that before the services were
concluded, the whole amount Of the de-
ficiency was raised, beginning with sub
scriptions of 81, 200 each and down to
S53.

AN AMUSING INCIDENT. While the

question arose on which a division of
the House was demanded, and the chair
man, Stevenson, of Ohio, appointed
General Butler and General Farnsworth
tellers. 1t seems that Butler and Farms
worth are not on speaking terms. and
when they met in front of the Clerks
desk they did not observe the usual Gus
tom Of shaking bands, whereupon some
member wishing to carry on the Joke.
insisted upon introducing them. Butler
was unwilling to look at Farnsworth.
while the latter refused to recognize
Butler. They stood looking away from
each other without speaking, to the
great amusement of the members who
are familiar with their peculiar relations.
Each tried TO ignore the presence of the
other, and each announced the count of
his side without consultation or agree

could not tell whether Butler was look

that occasionally went one eve on him.
but he is not sure of this for sometimes
1t seemed as if Butler was looking in
