1T. PAUL AND PAC IFIC RAILROAD
Mr MATTERS.

On Saturday the House of Repre-.
sentatives passed the bill, which had
already passed tho Senate, extending
the time for tho completion Of tho St.
Cloud and st. Vincent and the Brain.
ord Branches of the 81. Paul and Pr
oi6o railroad. This will be good news
to the whole State, and especially to
the upper country. 1t would seem
now as though there could be no doubt
as to the construction Of these two
Branches, SO essential to the growth
and property Of Northern Minnesota,
and 10 the completion Of which St.
Cloud has 80 deep an interest. The
amount Of money already expended is
large, leaving but about five millions
Of dollars more to be expended to com.
plete both branches and secure the
valuable land grant. There is = conf.
dent belief, in the best informed quar-.
tern, that tho Braioerd Branch at least
will bs built before tho close of the
present year.
Judge Hall, Of tho Court Of Com.
mon Pleas, St. Paul, rendered = deeis-
ion on Saturday denying the spplica-
ton Of tho Dutch bondholders to have
. Receiver appointed for the Sc. Paul
and Pacific Railroad. He says the
road is not insolvent, that the manage.
ment is efficient and honest, and that
the security for tho bonds is ample, for
which reason he holds that to appoint
. Receiver would be to damage the in.
terssts of the petitioners themselves.
In the United States District Court,
on the same day, an application Was
made to discharge Receiver Farley, ap.
pointed last fall, by Judge Dillon, Of
the Circuit Court, to complete the IN
finiahed portion Of the st. Paul & Ps-
clio lailroad In time to save tho land
grant The ground Of the application
for the discharge is that tho Receiver
had accomplished nothing. But
Judge Miller refused to hear tho mo-
ton because Of the absence of Judge
Dillon, and an application will be made
before the latter Judge.

 In his usual spirited manner, MT. Frank Leslie has made arrangements with me to continue "Jack Harkaway," s'The Scape- have the pleasure of introducing your confidently hope you will like them as we'll on the free soil of the United States as you have done in the Old Country
 shall render their adventures in the Great Republic thrilling, interesting and Stars and Stripes will be the same honest, straightforward, rollicking hero that you have seen at school, at sea, at the Univer- sity of Oxford. and among the desperate brigands of Italy; but 1 guess that in America he will fairly surpass all that he has done before, and you will say that 'Jack Harkaway in America" is the boy for your money, and that no one can beat him for frolic and adventure. At the same time, the story which com mences in No. 379 of Frank Leslie's Boys and Girls Weekly will point moral for all readers to follow, as it Is at all times my purpose to instruct as we'll as amuse those of my young friends who give me their support; and I ask you all to look out for the grand new story of "Jack Harkaway in America," which will posi- lively appear only in Frank Leslies Boys and Girls Weekly.
