a highly responsible one, and at the same time
requires milduess Of temper with rare firm

wish him success. *
VALLEY RAILROAD Our neighbors of Rock.
bridge, seem to be getting into better humor
about the Valley Railroad, will be seen from
the following taken from the Gazette of the 9Th !:
The condition of the Valley Railroad is verv
promising There are two Corps of Engineers
at work locating the Central line, one on Roaring
Run, and the other at Timber Ridge, and we as
certain from good authority that another Corps is
now being organized and VIII De at WORK next
week between these points.
We are informed that these three corps will
have the location of the central route completed
in about five weeks-and then if the land owners
Are liberal as to the right Of way, we are assured
that work on the road will be commenced some
time during August
It seems to US that our people have more land
than they need, AMI that the best use to be made
of a small portion (enough for right Of way) would
be to give it to the Valley Railroad and thus IN
crease the value Of the balances.

A PERILoUs UNDERTAKING.

1
An item under the above cap
ton, from the San Francisco Alta,
we published in our last issue.
It was then thought that Mr..
Goodenough, the man who under
took the adventurous voyage from
Rogue river, Oregon, to San Fran
cisco, had taken his last sail, but
we see that, Notwithstanding the
rough weather which be expe-
rienced, and exclusive of stop
pages, he has accomplished the
daring feat in seventeen days in
one of the frailest crafts ever built
for sea voyage. The character
of the boat is thus graphically
described by the Chronicle: Is e p
1t looks precisely like an elon-
gated barrel, tapering to the point.
It is shaped like a barrel, made of
slaves like barrel, and hoped
like a barrel. 1t is twenty feet
long in the clear, and three and
a half feet in diameter in the
widest part, from which it tapers
regularly to about a foot in diane
ter at the ends. The only res
poets in which it differs from a
barrel are that in the places of
heads its ends are made of logs
about a foot in diameter and two
or three feet long, around which
the strips of which the body of
the boat is constructed fit closely.
In lieu of a bung-hole, it has an
opening in the upper side about
two feet and half long and
eighteen inches wide which an
sWers for hatchway, and in
which the adventurous navigator
sat and steered all the time when
not asleep, his body and shoulders
projecting above the boat. This
opening is provided with sliding
door, which the solitary navigator
closed tight when he wanted to
sleep. The boat has a single frail
mast, about three inches in di-
ameter at the base. She carries a
mainsail and jib, which the cap
tain made out of bedticking She
has keel about six inches deep,
which is fastened by an iron rod
one and halfinches square, bound
down by bolts going through the
inside of the boat, She is steered
by a common rudder like that
used to ordinary Whitehall boats.
The body of the boat is made of
cedar slabs, about one inch and q
half in thickness, which were split
out with, an axe, These are bound
together by twenty-five iron hoops
passing around the outside fast
ened just as the hoops of a barrel
are. To make the boat run
smoothly through water, Captain
Goodenough found it necessary to
cover the Ontside with an addition
al half-inch sheating of cedar up
to- the water line. She draws only
about twenty inches of water
with all the ballast now in her,
rolls lightly in the water, and is

being wrecked by approaching too
near the. shore, but his faithful
craft behaved most admirably
throughout the whole Of the voy-
age. 1t is generally believed,
however, that this man is alunatie,
otherwise he would never have
attempted such an undertaking.
