refute tie position taken by MIR. Ordway, and
because had been assailed by this man from

read If the committee had not adjourned when
the hour arrived for the Senate to 90 into SEES

before the committee, and intend to keel
my promise, and this is only the commence
Dent. He woke up the wrong passenger this
time. Very respectfully, &c.

and asked the farmer TO give him a GER
tain sheep that he was preparing for
exhibition at the county fair, saying
that he was hungry. This the farmer
refused, but offered him hen if he
would shoot H. The Indian declared
he would have the sheep, and fired at
it, but missed it. The farmer then set
his dog on the Indian, and drove him
away. A few nights since, the farmer
was awakened from his sleep by some.

ing the object, he hurled it across the
room. He was Mortified 10 hear the

The statistical information that has
been collated in regard TO the railroads
OF Great Britain reveal many facts of
interest, and are at least OF important
significance. They show that the
average earnings of the railroads of
1852 were IS 2d per mile, and these of
1871 were IS Sd, or an increase of only
one penny per mile. Meanwhile, the
cost of building railroads in 1871 was
e., G6l more per mile than in 1852.
