Rail Road Meeting.-At the meeting of
the Directors of the Duncannon, Bloomfield
&c Loysville r. r., on Monday the 18th
inst, Hon. G. J. T. McIntire was elected
Secretary and w. A. Sponser, Esq, Treas
urer of the company.
Every member of the board of Directors
was present, except Mr.. Sponsler, who was
unavoidably absent in New York at that
time. After full interchange of opinions,
it was decided to push forward the work of
raising subscriptions for grading the road
as earnestly as possible, and to this end
Mr.. Jas. McIlhenny was appointed collect
or for the company. He will not only re-
ceive subscriptions, but will collect the first
installment from all those who have sub
scribed and have not yet paid up. Sub
scriptions will also be taken by any of the
Directors.
Steps were also taken, that will no doubt
result in securing iron and equipments for
the road, whenever the grading is COM
pleted.
Now we ask the citizens of this county
to support the officers of the company in
their endeavors to bring this enterprise to
a successful terminus. The kind of sup
port they need and MUST HAVE, is good
subscriptions, and those subscribing are
assured that they shall either have road,
or shall not be called upon for the payment
of the sums subscribed.
We have no doubt but what this road
can and will be built, for it cannot be pos
sible that the citizens of the county will be
SO blind to their own interests as to let this
opportunity to enhance the value of their
own property, and to add to the wealth of
the county pass by unimproved.
1t may be proper here to state that the
proposed road is to be the same guage as
the Penn'a. r. R., so that lumber, bark,
cattle and grain, which cannot well be re-
shipped when once loaded, will find their
way to market without any transfer.

A Terrible Affair.

A letter from Atchison Kansas, dated
the 18th inst, says; James Erickson was
arrested at Wetmore, forty miles from
here, some time ago, for an alleged attempt
at rape on the wife of one Marquette, and
was acquitted. He returned to Wetmore
on Friday, and on Saturday he went to
Marquette's house, and when the latter
came to the door shot him dead. He then
took Marquette's two small children to a
neighbor's house and left them, saying he
had killed their father and was going back
to kill their mother. An alarm was given,
but the neighbors feared to enter the house
until they were reinforced. Upon entering
they found Mrs. Marquette lying on bed
in a nude state dead, shot in seven places.
Erickson was lying across the body, also
dead. 1t appears that he had ravished the
the woman before killing her, and then
killed himself.

ENGLAND.

LONDON, Oct 22.-There was ban
quet at the Mansion House last evening,
at which there was present about 800
guests, including representatives of the
various city companies, Hon. Jos. Medill,
Mayor OF Chicago, and President Watson,
OF the Erie Railway. The Lord Mayor
proposed toast OF prosperity to the trade
and commerce OF the United States and
British colonies, associating the name Of
Mr. Watson with the subject. S r|
Mr.. Watson, in replying, thanked the
Lord Mayor for the flsttering allusion to
his administration Of the Erie Railway
Company, and spoke oil the difficulties
necessarily attending such q reformation
as had devolved on him to undertake. He
said tho hearty support and approval re-
ceived In England had strengthened him
to grapple with the difficulties that yet re-
masned to bc overcome. An honorable
and intelligent administration for the
American railroads was as important as
sound government for the country. 7'
Mayor Medill was called on to respond
to the toast Of the municipal institutions
Of America. In doing so he took oppor--
tunity to return thanks to London for the
aid sent Chicago after her great fire. i5t

affecting the members Of his family, and
how wild and excited looking the prisoner

eniissaries.

scrubber In the Grand Central Hotel at

along the hall and 20 down the ladies'

after recess gave rise to numerous argu-
ments by the counsel and the. customary

men generally fatal.

Of medicine ordered for Fisk.
