HE Il. r.. H s. s. W. Rail
WeGN.

Through the courtesy of Judge
HAINEs, we place before our read
ers a letter received by him from
the General Superintendent of
construction, in reply to a line of
inquiry after the condition ofthe
road.
EVANSVILLE, IND, Nov. 26, '73.
JUDGE A. BA1NEs:-
Dear Sir:-On my return from
New York, l received your es-
teemed favor, and in reply will
say that, at no time in the histo-
ry Of our enterprise have | had
more confidence than at present,
Notwithstanding the obstacles we
have had to contend with.
We have gone on and built 20
miles of our road, and are run
ming two trains or it daily, and
are doing a good business: On
receipt of the news of the panic,
| stopped all work, so as not to
get involved, but since that our
New York men have concluded
to put more money into the en-
terprise, and push it through to
an early completion. The pros
pect for selling bonds, at the pres
ent time, is not very ~ftattering,
but the price of labor and mate>
rial is reduced 80 that we can do
work for a great deal less than
we could a few months ago; and
every mile we construct will be
that much better security for the
sale of bonds, when there is a
market.
Judge, you can ssure the
friends of the enterprise that the
road will be built, for it is a good
one, a necessity, and the parties
that have got hold of it mean
business.
I shall make you a visit before
long, then 1 can give the details.
Yours truly,
r. PATTISON.
:. The foregoing lines from the
} Superintendent look hopeful, and
| since the contract company have
[ expended of their own means, q
) large amount in construction.
without having collected a dollar
from subscriptions, or sold a
) bond, it certainly looks like q
success. They cannot now at
) ford to abandon the work and
lose the amount they have al
ready invested. They can not
afford to stop the road at any in
termediate point, for such q seq
? ment would not pay, nor in that
l event could they use the bonds
> as they are issued and secured by
f a trust deed on the whole line
A North. eastern and Southwest
: ern connection are specified il
the charter of incorporation, and
this is what the people desire
and on this condition the entire
: subscriptions were taken.

e1ing from the EPIZOOTIC there
is nothing better.
FOR CATTLE they will be
found invaluable in restoring to
health when debilitated, in loos-
ening the hide, improving the
appetite, cleansing the blood,
and causing a rapid deposit of
fat.
FOR MICH COWS, They
keep them in a sleek and healthy
condition, increasing the ire
ton of milk, and improving it's
quality, and imparting a richness
to cream that cannot be attained
without their use.
FOR HOGS, farmers will find
these Powders exceedingly vale
liable in preventing HOG CHOL-
ERA, THUMBS, NANCE, and
other diseases that this valuable
animal is subject to.
FOR POULTRY they stand

give tone and strength to the
digestive argans, thus eradicat
ing the root of all diseases.

POLICE CoURT.-Considerable inter-
est was manifested in the Police Court
yesterday, the gambling cases Of Harris
and Westwood causing the excite
ment.
Lee Harris case was first called, and
he plead guilty 10 the charge OF exhlo-
ting a faro table, and notified the
court through his counsel, be would
appeal the case on the ground
that the Police Court had no jurisdlc-
ton in the matter.
In the case of George Westwood,
for keeping gambling house, jury
was demanded and granted. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were summoned and
composed the jury:
Peter W. Bosley, W. II. HennegeD,
William johnson, William Laughlin,
]. P. Truschel, S. S. Bloch, NJ. B. c.
Wright, e. Hess, N. Marsh Ralph
Ankle, w. J. Robb and Henry jones'.
Lee Harris, the complainant in the
case, was the first witness called. He
frankly acknowledged that he made
the complaint more through malice
than anything else; that he knew
nothing personally OF Mr.. Westwood
keeping a faro bank and that the in
formation he had Of the matter was
mere hearsay.
Several other witnesses testified that
the bank" was run by other parties,
and Westwood had nothing to do with
it. The case was then submitted to the
jury, who without leaving their seats
rendered a verdict Of not guilty, and the
accused was discharged.
Nicholas Miller and William
Witham, charged with disorderly con-
duct on Wednesday evening, were each
fined, the former $40 and costs and the
latter 50 and costs.

Our Mothers.

who were the best and ;idie:t house
wives in the world-eXcepting our
grapdmothe's took special pride in
the possession Of rows Of tiuware that
glistened like polished mirror. Every
article about their houses susceptible
of polish, including the brass knocker,
was regularly frightened up until it
fairly glisseued. With their primitive
materials, ouch as Bath brick, emery,
rotten stone, etc, it was serious labor,
albeit one OF love. Now.a-days, how.
ever, their daughters use Sspolio, and
in one hour can polish more articles
and do it better than they could in q
whole day. Ifyou wish to excel your
mothers in the brightness OF your
kitchen ware, use Sapolio.
