Leaving the East and arriving at
Chicago or indianapolis, how Shall
we reach the West? The best Line
is acknowledged to be the c., 3. e
O., joined together with the 3. & N.
Railroad BY the Iron Bridge, and call
ed the BURLINGTON ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running
to Omaha, connects with the great
Pacific Roads, and forms to-day the
leading route to California. The
Middle Branch, entering Nebraska at
Plattsmouth, passes through Lincoln,
the State Capitol, and will this year
be finished to Fort kearney, forming
the shortest route across the Cont,
nent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the b. NJ. di.
yerging at Red Oak, falls into a line
running down the Missouri through
St. Joe to Kansas City, and all Kan
sas. Passengers by this route TO
Kansas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa,
and Missc uri, and, by a slight diyerg-
ence, can see Nebraska also.
Lovers Of fine views should remcm
Der the Burlington Route, for its towns
" high cleaning from atar"--its free,
fringedstreams--its rough bluffs and
quarrios--its corn.oceans stretching
over the praiues further than eye can
reach.
Land buyers will be sure to lemem
Der it for they have friends among
the two thousand who have already
bought farms from Geo. 5. Harris,
the land Commissioner Of the b. d
NJ. r.. r. at Burlington, Iowa, or
among the four thousand home stead
ers and pre.emptors who last year
filed claims in the Lincoln land office,
where " Uuncle Sam is rich enough
to give us all farm"

.RaiiroaR Matters.

Relative to Tie building of the
Portage City and Grand Rapids Rail-
road the Portage City Register says !:
We have very little doubt but that
the road between Portage and Grand
Rapids will be the first sixty miles OF
road built in this State next year.
The same paper has tho following in
reference to the actions Of the "com.
missioners," in The disposition of the
! Wood county Bonds.
! Wood county whiol, voted 800,
| 600 to the Portage & Grand Rapids
r. II. last fall, on the condition that
80 miles Of the road were graded be-
fore Jan. LIST, and the road completed
before September next, has shown
some disposition to withhold her
bonds, because the company had not
fully came up to the conditions in the
amount of grading done. AS our
readers know, The company could
have graded 30 miles Of road with
much less labor than it has expended
on the line where they have been at
work, but they regarded it as far
more essential to get up the marshes
in the fall than to do grading beyond
them. Now they can go to work
early in the spring, and proceed with.
out being irterrup'ed by wet marshes,
and the inal completion of the road
will be expedited by the work done
where it has been far beyond what ii
would have been if the work had
been done elsewhere. The company
has been acting in perfect good faith
toward Grand Rapids we believe,
and will continue to do so ; we have
therefore regretted to see the delay
on the part Of the county in putting
up her bonds, as it had a tendency to
cornpicatc the pending negotiations
for iron, &c.
| Portage City, Adams County, the
towns OF Oxford, Adams, and we be-

placed theil bonds in escrow with the
Secretary Of State, and the resolve
on the part Of Wood county to do the
same thing, completes the list,
Piles and timbers to be used on the
Ncenah Creek, Big Slongh, &C., have
been contracted for and are being
delivered, and Nj. Clinton informs
us that Mr.. Proudfit and himself will
go north, probably next week, and
close contracts for all the ties, tim,
brrs, &c., necessary to be used in the
construction Of the road. The ocat-
ing party has completed its preIimn.

the final survey. 1t is expected that
by next week, the engineer corps will
have completed It's labors north and

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.

Another street car tragedy has
just been enacted at Utica, N. Y.
A Mrs. DR.. McCartey shot one Milton
II. Thompson, an Insurance Agent,
whom she intended to XII, but by
mistake killed one VIM. III. Hill, Of
Ogdensburgb, n. Y. Mrs. McC,
claims that Mr.. Thompson, after steal,
ing her affections and giving her very
many valuable presents, has suddenly
gone back on her." and by process
Of law has showed her out of doors,
so she just thought she'd argue the
little business with HIM at the muzzlc
Of a revolver, which has resulted in
the death of an innocent man. The
continual REPETITION Of tragcdys such
rs the above, shows the necessity Of
law for the protection Of women
against the treaehcry Of such villains
as we know NJ. II. Thompson to be,
as well rs another which shall not
shield q woman Who has outraged
public propriety by taking the law
into her OWE hands, thus arrogating
to herself the right to exercise tho
functions of Judge, Court, Jury aud
Executioner, simply because she has
been foulIy dealt with. Such farces
are becoming too common.
Mrs, Margaret Sanders, of New
York, has sustained an action for
damages against the Staten Island
Ferry Company, in the case of the
| explosion Of the boiler of the steamer
Westfeld last summer, at which
time her husband was killed, securing
damages to the amount Of S., 000.--
| One juror gave it as his opinion that
she ought to receive 100000. More
than one hamdre2 similar suits have
since then been entered against the
Company.
The ashes from the Chicago FIRE
were discernable at sea 1000 miles
away. Capt, Edw ards, of the Ncp.
tune, plying between Quebec and
Liverpool, states that on the 18th of
October in latitude 46 degrees north,
longitude IS degrees west, with the
wind blowing strong from the west,
his vessel was enveloped in a cloud
smoke and ashes, with a strong smell
prevailing of burnt wood.
Another most tremendous snow
storm has been prevailing in Wyom-
ing Territory, west Of Cheyenne, along
the line Of the Union Pacific Railroad.
As a natural consequence the road is
so blocked up that that no trains can
RIM, and the whole thing is at a stand
still.
The Grand Duke and his vaIient
Nimrods have returned from the
plans. II is reported that very many
Of the noble builaloes are extremely
indignant because they weren't wouu-
dcd by his llighncss.
The way they play it at Wausau
when a man brys his wife is, he gets
comfortably drunk and enjoys a good
