KILLED Dy A LANDSLluE.-A la
borer, he the nafre of Samuel Brlscoe,
was killed. in the 9th ward, Yesterday
morning, by the caving in OF an en-
bankmtht, under which he was eXca-
waiting vault for the storage of beer,
Upon observing the avalanche, he and
his comparisons attempted t" escape

tons of earth, aud his companions es-
Gaping with Il few external injuries.

ptdS. Le'Mc Roe'is clap their ho'ds
Let all tie pcopie rejoics, for fhe good
time con,ing is At haRl. For Six
Thousand years We have teen wsshost
a railroad. Up to the tbsc of the
Flood we were without even water com
munication with America since that
period good long four thousand years
Nsc have had only water means Of
transit, the old "Wisconse' doing eX
rellemt service in that direction. though
not always reliable. But change has
.conta se'-S axe spirit of our dream.
To-day the Iron Horse with nerves Of
steel and lungs Of fire goes laundering
through the heart Of cur county. His
mighty tread Ike coharis of old, makes
the earth to 1remhle, and his shrill
piercing screech reyerbcratcs through
our forests the unframed dcnizens Of
the woods fee to their royerts APPALLED,
with widest dismav, aud:

clothes him in front and leaves him bare behind,
looksupon thc mighty cncroacher upon
his hunting grounds and asks either to
be venged or granted a free pass to
the cranberry marshes Of the mighty
west. The itOn arteries have begun
their pulsatiohs. and with each throb
new life is 1nstiled into our com
mcrcial bcIug. As We stood upon the
track tire other evening, and looked
aiown the vista where the iron para
lexis were lost in taper point, that
seemed whitfield into the mighty forest
beyond, watching the iron monster
with his eye Of blazing fire, in his ada
mantnc forehead, making now stur-
dy obesance 10 the left, now to the
right. and rev nlunling through ex-
cayations wtost walls were frescoed
with the Sasas Of time, we thought
how almost nfallibe and yet indeed
falliblc is man what mighty lever is
money--what e mighty engincry is
the human wiz But we must away
with sentiment The whole world is
now upon us, or. stther, we are now
upon the whole wefid. An avenue is
a1en to us, and to US belongs the duty
ct making the most ef our advantages.
We hail the advent ola new era. With
the coming year, other roads will have
been constructed across our territory.
and to us--to our men of capital and
enterprise belongs the duty Of wedding
interest to interest, thereby LAYING the
