WISCONSIN Midland R. 4.

This il the name given by the pro-
iectors to the road proposed TO be
built from Oshkosh southwes; to
the Mississippi river. The route ex.
tends in an almost due southwest
course-from Oshkosh to Ripon, thence
down the valley Of the Fox to Port
age, thence down the valley of the
Wisconsin as far as Arena. At this
point the road may take either of
two proposed routes one by way Of
Dodgeville through Iowa and Lafay-
cite counties by oircuitous route
TO Dubuque another by way of tho
Military and Liberty Ridges, through
Iowa and Grant counties, TO the
same point. The distance is about
the same on both routes, but that
proposed and already surveyed
through Grant county will, wethink,
DO found to offer to the Midland
Company superior inducements for
the construction Of railroad TO Du.

lost steamer During the past three
years we have crossed the ocean in
two steamers, the Cambria, Of the
GLASGOW Line, and the Atlantic, Of
the White Star Line. They have
both since gone TO the bottom, the
Cambria with 159 passengers, and
the Atlantic with $50. A captain
has q great deal to do with the safe

on the sea are about equal TO those
on the land. Captain Craig was the
commander of the Cambria in 1859

dangerous channels between the
north of Ireland and Scotland be Was
SO careful that he would not permit
any other officer but himself TO stand
on the lookout. And there, with
