Birmingham, Alabama.

We are indebted to the Chattanooga
Evening Mail for the subjoincd account
of a locality in Alabama which seems TO
be attracting good deal of attention:
This new town, OH tie Alabama aud
Chattanooga Road, is li7 miles from
Chattanooga aud very near the gcogra-
phical center of Alabama. The South
and North Alabama and the Alabama
and Chattanooga Roads cross here the
former of whirh has erected large shops
for building and repairing rolling stock.
Another Road from Gadsdcn, on the
Coosa. to pittNburg Landing, OH the
Tennessee has surveyed It's line through
this town, and the company, largely
composed Of ~. Louis capitalists, pro-
pose to commence building.
\ year ago last August sc passed
through what is now Hir,Niugham. n
town of three thousand people, hut was
then succession OF fields, ponds of stag
nant water and tangled forest. We
stood last Monday on one street corner
and counted sixteen two-S'ory brick
houses in more or less forward state of
completion. The town has the same air
of ncwe,s and that go.ahcad style char
actcrizcs it which i, found in the Young
cities on our western frontier.
The only drawback to the place is the
want of good water, which Is - I'm
overcome by works now in course Of
construction at an expense of 100000.
There are people who believe that Bir.
minghnm will in a few years number
ten thousand inhabitants, and that ulti-
matcly it will become a great manufar.

remark has been made before, but it is
now cmphatically made again. What
does the reader say to the corpse of a
young lady III Ohio getting out of her
coffin, going into the next room, and
there speaking family TO the watchers !!
OF course il was shock to the watch
ers, but they had the presence Of mind
to take immediate ma,ures for the res
ioration of their friend to full life; and
at the last accounts she was doing well
and likly TO recover.
