The Hoosac Tunnel,

For eighteen years past, from time to time. notices concerning the progress of work on the Ioosac Tunnel have been the rounds of me press, and thousands of readers have never known where the tunnel is located - HOosac Mountain is in Berkshire countv Mass, and IS an obstruction to transportation between the valleys of the Connecticut and Hudson rivers. The tunnel is for railroad. and will be four and one half miles in length when completed Work was commenced on the tunnel in 1855, by the Troy and Green field K. k. Co.,, aided by the State of Massa- chusetts, and was carried on by contract Several contractors worked on the tunnel un- til they failed, so intervals occurred when no progress was made The present contractor aided by modern inventions. such as diamond drills, nltroglycerine, etc, has been successful in working from the East and West ends of the tunnel, and East and West from the shalt about the center of the line, and the "great bore " has been again brought prominently before the public from the fact that on Thurs day, Dec. 18th, the parties working from the East end and from the central shaft toward the East heading effected junction about l6oO feet under ground, and opened hole large enough for men to pass through. The distance excayated from the East end to the central shaft is ?, l5S feet more than two miles. West of the shaft, little over half mile of excavation is yet to be made to com pIete the tunnel. It is expected by the con tractor that the great work will be completed by November, 1873, and the tunnel open for business When completed, the Hoosao will be the longest tunnel in the United States, and with one exception the longest in the world.

YUMA COUNTY ITEMS,

We sec by the the Arizona City Sentinel o December 2S, that Que-cha-ca, the Indian who was convicted of the crime of killing the late Sheriff Dana, and who made his escape from jail, was discovered in Arizona City a short time ago, by a Mir. Gray, who, in at- tempting to arrest the Indian, shot and wounded him in three places. At latest ac- counts the Indian was alive and in jail.
 Mr. and Mrs. George Tyng had started for Ehrenberg.
 The editor of the Sentinel was absent in OanornIa, yer the paper IS interesting.
 Wm. E. Hooper < O. had made heavy shipments of goods to Tucson and other inte- rior points.

Right Ideas.

It is our hope that Congress will act favor. ably upon the proposition of Mr. Mccormick to increase the salaries of the Governors and Secretaries of Territories, as the present pay of these officials is inadequate.
 We know that the salary of Governor Stafford has not enabled him to delray the expenses of living and travelling in the Ter ritory.
 Another good move of the Territorial Del. egates is that of having the Territories rep resented at tho Vienra Exposition, by com petent persons.

TIE LAUGH OF WoMAN.--A woman
has no natural gift more bewitching' than
sweet laugh. 1t is like the sweet Sounds
Of flutes upon the water. 1T pours from
her in a clear sparkling rill, and the heart
that hears it feels as if bathed in the cool,
exhilarating spring. Have you ever pnr7
sued an unseen fugitive through trees,
led on by q fairy laugh, now here, now
there, now lost, now found? We have,
and we are pursuing that wandering voice
to this day. SometimesIt comes to us in
the midst of care, or sorrow, or irksome
business, and then VIC turn away and lis.
ten, and hear it ringing through the room
like silver bell, with power to scare
away the evil spirits of mind. How much
We owe to that sweet laugh 1t turns
prose into poetry it filings showers of sun
shine over the darksome wood in which,
we are travelling, it touches with light even
our sleep, which is no more the image Of
death, but is consumed with dreams that
arc the shadows of Immortality. s..

FOREIGN.


New YORK, October G.-The Worlds
foreign special says: Theirs consents to
an alliance of the Republicans and Impe-
rialists as the only means of preventing the
restoration of the monarchy with Count
De Chambord as Henry V. This combina-
tion is receiving constant accessions, never
theless the chances are in favor of the
monarchists, who have the majority
of the assembly, the entire army
and much money. That Theirs should
have consented at last to an alliance with
the Imperialsts, is regarded as an evidence
of the rapid strides which the monarchical
cause has been making, and the urgent
necessity for immediate measures to
preserve the now tottcrng republic"
