our greatest interest has suffered from
neglect We refer to a connection with
the Iron Mountain Railroad at or near

1t is true that you have frequently
c.lled the attention of our citizens to il,
in the columns Of the COURIER. but they
seem to have passed UNDECIDED, for no
action has been taken, or effort made. to
secure this route, and it is to my mind
Of infinitely more importance to us than
all the other projects; yet l would not
abate single effort made in other direc
tions. In my mind, the single fact, that
we are on a through line. of Railroad
from The great North West to the sea-
board, will Re worth thousands to Us
yearly over being at the end of a switch
The reasons are so numerous. the argu
ments so convincing that We should Sc
cure, if possible, this route and line by
Hickman, that it seems unnecessary to d
rejecting mind but to call their atten
ton to it, and at once efforts would be
made to secure it. 1t will take time, la
Dor and money TO accomplish it, but is II
not worth the effort? Will not our city
Council or our citizens move in this mat
ter? ID.

The Hickman courier., 1872-08-31

The press and the people everywhere
seemed TO have thoroughly arrived al
the conviction that the present Is year
of wonders, and the wonders being of a
natural order-not super naturai-it has
been aptly termed the phenomenal year.
The extraordinary play of the elements
is various, and taking the world over, it
runs through the whole gamut of natural
phenomena There was no need in in
Producing such a fiction as Plantamour' :
comet to heighten the interest of the
grand performance going on all around
US every day and night. The realities
are sufficient to rivet the attention, aud
are we'll worthy Of the comment they
have excited IN every quarter of the
earth. OF course people ask what is the
matter with our celestial and terrestrial
systems? ? The London Spectator traces
the trouble to change 10 the constitu
tion of the sun. Tacchird, an Italian
astronomer, has told us thar our central
orb is just row overcharged BY Iper-
abundance OF magnesium, causing an un
usual intensity OF heat.
Then the newspapers ask how about
the volcanic eruptions, haking<
thunder storms aud borealic lights which
have made the year so remarkable and
our season so notable? The tropics
seem to be moving up the globe and
threaten to annihiate the temperate zoue
Our temperature and our storms have
decidedly tropical favor and dash. The
lightning is its own peculiar 1872 light
ming, unlike any other brand of the ar
ticle with which we have been acquaiut
ed. It is more forked, more continuous
has deeper tone aud is of 4 differel I

A Murder Most Foul.

Th foulest and most feadish murder
recorded for many years, is reported as
having been perpetratcd near our neigh

of most beautiful and we'll dressed
lady was found in pond. aud the evi

No one could recognize the body. and
the strange mystery unsolved, the body
was taken and properly buried.
Violent family differences were known
to exist between certain man and his
wife, who lived in the neighborhood-
the wife had suddenly disappeared and
a final separation announced. By de-
grees public suspicion was aroused. that
this husband had murdered his wife and
threw her body in the pond, and that he
had resorted to murder to end his do
mestic alliance He was consequently
arrested, and every circumstance seemed
to point to his undoubted guilt. Eve
rybody said he was sure to hang, and it
was with difficulty the outraged commu-
nifty could be restrained from hanging
him instauter without judge Orjury.
To make his guilt the more positive,
the body of the murdered lady was dis

had so far ensued that Identification wa,

Emile Rogers" aud some of her gar

name of the prisoner was w. j. Hall
In the meantime positive evidence was
