His stock of ready made clothing is the

Collars, Hose, Gloves, and in fact ev-
erything in the line of FURNISHING goods,

quality. A sight of his stock of Trunks
and Valises, would induce almost any
person to pack his buds and travel. No
language a give Il correct description
of what can be seen in his line by a visit
to Sturm's store, and we there fore adj
wise all to call and see for themselves,
and they will say that however exag-
gerated our description seems on perus-

A Good Selection,

We learn that the Burlington and
Missouri River Rail Road Company,
nave appointed Gen. Hendricks as their
Agent for this county, to aid in the sell
ing of their broad acres in Iowa and
Nebraska. If turned loose generally,
with his age and experience and general
knowledge of men and things, especially
of the effects of climate on the animal
and vegetable kingdom from Mexico to
the northern Lakes, the General would
be a success, n of great service to all
parties interested, as he is as well post
ed as need be to make manifest his store
of useful knowledge bearing on the va
ried subjects, that should be understood
by all seeking homes in the west Oh
south. See his advertisement.

A uUHDRED-MlLE TRIP on THE Truck OF
RAILROAD CAR.--On the arrival at Camden
station Yesterday afternoon OF the 5:lD west
ern train. Baltimore and Ohio railroad, a
man was discovered lying upon the truck OF
Que of the passenger cars. AT first II was
supposed he was dead, but upon inycstlga-
ton it was found that he was alive, but sadly
used up, and suffering greatly from the cold
His face and clothing were covered with
smoke and dust. After a thorough ablutlon
he stated that he had secreted himself on the
truck under the car yesterday morning
while the train was at Martinsburg, w. Va,
one hundred miles from Baltimore, and IN
that perilous position had ridden the whole
distance without food and in imminent peril
Of his life to this point; thus accomplishing
one of the most desperate Journeys ever re-
corded, He gave bis name as George Allen
der, native Of Pittsburgh, Pa, and said that
q few DAYS AGO he received letter from a
friend in Washington stating that he could
obtain employment In that city. Being out OF
EMPLOYMENT he determined TO visit Wash
ington, and invested what money he had in
ticket calling for passage from Pittsburgh
to Martinsburg. Upon arriving there and
being out of funds he concluded to steal
ride for the rest of the journey, and selected
the truck Of one of the cars As his seat. bis
account of the trip from West Virginia to
Baltimore was u thrilling one. He was in
great danger several times of falling from
the truck in consequence of his body becom
Ing benumbed with cold. The space between
the truck and the bottom of the car where
he rode was about twelve inches in height,
and as q consequence he was forced to eX
tend his body along the four timbers which
constituted the framework of the truck
While relating his story the young man re.
ferred to his inability to obtain employment
and shed tears. Several gentlemen who
heard the story of the trip contributed
sum of money for his relief, and after good
dinner furnished him by Mr.. Hassan, Oh Tue
Jnnot restaurant, he proceeded to Washing
ton. The daring of the adventure and II;
prompting motive are sufficient commenta
ries on the desperation of the times.-BaAt
