THE GRowTH OF RAILROADS IN THE
UNITED STATEs.-The extension of rail-
road service in the United States nine
hundred and sixty miles last month, is
subject which should not be passed over
without attention, according to the views
of a member of the Cabinet, who Is of
opinion that this rapid growth of the
railroad service is not proportioned to
our country's prosperity, and therefore
the tendency of States to build railroads,
involving themselves in debt by SO doing,
is a practice which carries with it great
danger to the ability of State tosdis-
charge its obligations, especially in the
event of financial panic. The whole
subject begins to assume some Importance
in Washington it at least gives rise to
much comment, and the indications are
that the matter will not be omitted in
Cabinet deliberations.

From the New York Commercial
Those Differing Doctors.

All the doctors who saw or had any
thing to do with the body of General
Ketchum, alive or dead, assert that he
died of poison. All the doctors who
never saw him, either alive or dead, as.
sert that he didn't die of poison. Ergo,
a doctor who doesn't see patient can
really tell just as much about the case as
a doctor who does. Wherefore these
most learned beings should not complain
if many think that a patient who doesn t
see doctor is a good deal more apt to
get we'll than patient who does.

Model Marriage Ceremony.

FROM the big haplds independent
We have, from an eye witness, re-
port of marriage recently solemnized
in Chippewa. which we publish, not only
for the benefit of those dignitaries and
officers who are authorized to marry, but
those who contemplate such leap in the
dark. The first preliminary was the
payment of a fee of S5, which the JUS
tice required in advance. He then di-
rected them to join hands, and inquired
their ages. The groom replied, sixty
years." and the bride-elect blushingly
admitted that she had seen fifty six sum-
mers fade into autumn and winter. He
then inquired, "Have you, or either of
you, ever had hiring husband or loife ?"
to which he received a negative answer
from both. Then addressing them, he
inquired if they took each other for law
full husband and wife; and receiving
affirmative answers, announced, with due
solemnnity, "Then in the name of the
Lord, | pronounce you man and wife,"

Of the Kentucky
LegISEaGRr0.

A correspondent of the Louisville
Ledger, writing from Frankfort under
date of the 18th, gives the following in
terestiDg proceedings:
THE MEMBERS BALL
Last night is the theme of universal en-
comium this morning. 1t was not only
a success, but brilliant achievement.
Over three hundred ladies and gentle
men actively participated in the festivi-
ties of the all-room, to say nothing OF
the scores who promenaded the halls or
amused themselves in the parlors. The
band of music was tho best that could
anywhere be procured. and the supper is
conceded to have been the most luxurious
and expensive ever given in Frankfort,
and this is saying a great deal, for next
to Washington probably no city in this
Union is more noted for its fine enter
tainments than Frankfort.
Every delicacy of every season and
cline seemed to have been brought into
requisition. There were oysters in
twelve different styles; fish of dozen va
rietiesi game from the buffalo down to
the rabIt, and from the wild turkey down
to the Kentucky partridge; fruits from
near and foreign climes, and cake, con-
fections, creams, jellies, astonishing in
their varieties and styles Among the
gentlemen guests were representatives OF
the army, navy, and bench, as well as OF
the legislative and congressional halls.

NEIGHBoRING Towns IN TENNESSEE.
The Jackson Wing and Tribune says,

From another source, entirely reliable,
we learn that Brownsville has forty nine
stores, of which between fifteen and
twenty are devoted to the sale Of dry
goods, averaging business of about
$50, 900 per aEnum each. 1t claims a
population of 5000, ships annually from

The ARREST OF JAMES II. IScEnsoLf.--
Great excitement was created yesterday in the
Court of General Sessions in consequence of
the arraignment of James II. Ingerson, the
Tammany chairmaker, on two indict-
ments for forgery. Crowds thronged
the court room anxious to see the
elegantly dressed prisoner, who is charged
with having pocketed incredible sums
for chairs and other cabinet ware furnished to
the city, and no little indignation was indi-
Gated in the remarks of citizens as he appeared
at the bar and by his counsel offered bail to
appear for trial after having pleaded not
guilty 10 both charges. In consideration Of
the fact that Ingersoll is already bailed for
half million dollars in o civil action on
behalf of the people, Judge Bedford fixed
$4,000 as the bail in these cases.
