The Two Great Tunnels.

The following is a statement of the di-
mensions, cost, etc, of the two great tun-
nels of the world:
Mont CeRis 7uRnel-Length, 1926
meters, or nearly eight miles; width,
twenty-six feet eight inches; height,
twenty feet; cost, S13, ,0O0,0 600; time occu-
pied in construction, nine years; number
of men employed, about 1900.
Hoosdc T'uRneL-Length, 26, 061 feet, or
about four and three-fourths miles; twen-
ty-four feet wide; twenty-one feet high;
cost about $4,000, 900; time of construc-
ton, when completed, nearly twenty
wears; number of workmen employed,
about 200 at present, but much less dur
ing most of the time the work has been
prosecuted.
The chief engineering difficulties at
tending the construction of the Hoosac
tunnel have been overcome, and the
amount of progress in a given time can
now be so accurately predicted that the
engineers and contractors have no doubt
that the work will be completed before
the 18th of March, 1874, the date named
in the contract.

Shot with a Cork.

ALADY residing on Second street retired
early, as usual, the other night, in good
health, and with a feeling of security re-
garding her personal safety, not dreaming
of the proximity of danger or the pro-
liability of injury from deadly weapons,
which she afterward supposed were at
the time pointing at her from the window
Just opposite her bed. While peacefully
reposing and enjoying the comfort and
luxury of a coZy room on a winters night,
suddenly there was a sharp report at the
window, the whir of some kind of missile
passing through the room, and a sound as
of shot striking the person of the lady,
followed by sharp singing sensation
between the shoulders. A scream pierced
the air and startled the members of the
household, who came running to the
chamber and found the lady fainting.
Cold water was freely used, when the
lady recovered and cried oLt that she was
shot, and boy was dispatched in haste
for doctor on Third street The physi-
clan filled his pockets with probes and
forceps and knives and what-not, for the
surgical visit, and went rushing to the
rescue, thinking, probably, to save poor
suffering creatures life. The door was
opened, and he hurried into the room
but instead of finding the patient writh-
ing in pain and agony he was overwhclm-
ed with surprise, and perhaps little dis
appointed, to find her laughing and blush,
ing, as if enjoying one of the best of jokes.
Before he could ask any questions, she
fastened to explain that after he was sent
for member of the family examined heI
shoulder, and no wound was found. She
then remembered that she had left few
bottles of ale in theroom near the window
and further investigation proved that one
of the corks mad popped out, striking hel
in the back, which she thought was &
bullet shot through the window. 1t wa
an amusing affair to the doctor, who like
a joke as well rs any one, and he JOINED
with the family in hearty laugh mt tn,
