A Startling discovery.


The Terre Haute Gazette gives the ionow-
in5:
CAPTAIN Samuel C. Scott, of Company L,
Thirty-first Indiana Colonel Charles Cruffs
Regiment) states that upon certain time,
late at night, dark and raining, and down in
Alabama. his regiment marched into a vii
Iage, and found that all the white inhabitants
had fed, leaving undisputed possession to the
regiment of brave boys. Seeing how matters
stood, the privates were told to quarter in
such vacant houses as they wished, and Com
pany +, headed by their gallant Captain, en-
tered small frame near by. Cropping their
way in the dark, they found room in the
rear, and still further back was another room
with the door locked. A bayonet soon open
ed it, and it was at once filled with the COM
pany, who sat down on the floor around the
walls, in the dark. A soldier, after locating
himself comfortably, thought he would take a
good smoke, and for that purpose, lighted a
match. This quick fittiug light only lasted
long enough to show the horrible surround
ings. In the middle of the room hanging by
the neck, from ring in the joist, was large,
naked human being, with his flesh about half
carved from his bones, and hanging about
him in strips yard long or more! Good
Lord" bursted from every lip, ana such
scramble to leave the horrid premises was on
ly equalled by the gentle departure from Bull
Run, in which some of our citizens took
praiseworthy part. .#
The investigation in the morning showed
that they had taken possession of doctors
Office, the rear part of which was dissecting
room, and that the doctor, just then, had a
fresh subject, on hand. The Captain further
states that, thereafter, Company E. never

.January

These Bonds have sold, during the past
year, 10 an extent unequalled by those OF
amy other Corporation, and they have now
taken their place among the solid and IA.
veritc securities Of the country.
This is because tho Bonds aro based upon tns
amplest security, being FIRST AND ONLY
MORTGAGE '.upon the railroad franchises, nd
all the lands and property and rights of property
real and personal now in possession by the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company or which the said compa-
ny may hereafter acquire" The Land Grant of the
Northern Pacific Railroad will average over 900
acres to each mile of road. This land is capable Of
producing in abundance all the Fruits, Vegetables
and cereals Of the Eastern or Middle States
THE VALUE OF LAND GRANTS.
The averageiprice at which twenty-six grant
railroads have thus far sold their lands is S704 per
acre-the highest average of any grant being S13.9s,
and the lowest 1907. With few exceptions the
erage selling price has increased from year to year.
Thelands of the Northern PacifcRoad are admitted
by all who have seen them, to be better and more
saleabe than those of most other grants but sold
the general average of s74 per acre. they will yield
more than 200 per mile of road-more than three
times the possible cost of construction and equip
ment; at the lowest average of any grant GOD
they will produce than $40 200 per mile which
is 100000 per mile more than the company allow
ed to issue bonds.
TRAFFIC ON PACIFIC RAIERO ADS.
AS officially reported the gross earnings of the pres
emit Pacific Railroad Union and Central for 1871, the
second year of through business December earnings
estimated) reach Seventeen Millions and Quarter
OF this 65 per cent. is from Local Business and it
stated, fully IS per cent. nearly Nine and Halt
Millions, are net over operating expenses
An equal traffic on the Northern Pacific Road will
pay dividend of more than 81 per cent. its total
cost With its great and unquestioned advantages in
distance grades, climate and tributary fertile coun
try, the Northern Pacific is assured of vast and
profitable business from the outset with large in
crease for the future.
These facts regarding Pacific Railroad earnings,
and the market value of Railroad Lands, as shown
by actual sales to settlers, show the unquestoned
security of Northern Pacific Railroad Bonds.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROAD.

The road is completed to the eastern boundary Of
Dakota, the Red River of the North, distance of

including purchased lines, the Northern Pacific Com

Contracts let for the construction of 635 miles
more, to be finished before the close of 1872.

THE Chicago Tribune has new version of
the Ratchet story: ''Washington's parents
were very particular as to little Georges play
fellows, never allowing any but his little cous-
ms or nephews to visit him. One of these
playfellows, and in some way connected, was
one of the Curtis boys. Among other cogno-
mems bestowed upou this youth at his chris
tening was that of Isaac. Well, Isaac and
George were playing together in the orchard
on the day when the historic cherry tree was
disfgured. The parental Washington came
along and was very much enraged to see his
favorite tree cut and hacked in very bung-
ling manner. So he said to George, "Come
here you rascal Who cut this cherry tree of
mine?" George gazed for moment at the
riding whip in the old geutleman's hand, and
then replied: ''Father, cannot tell lie
Ike cut it Nth my little hatchet.'
