UNION AND AMERICAN.
FEBRUARY "a, 1870.
THE war Of the railroad giants af-

TIE war Of the railroad giants af-
fects smaller Western lines in way
that is curious to the upinitiated. For
instance, one Of the roads leading west
from Cincinnati now sells tickets from
that city to st. Louis for one dollar,
To defeat "scalpers, however, passen-
gers are required to pay full fare, and
then, on reaching their destination,
the conductor pays back all but 81
The fight along this part Of the battle
front seems to be mainly between the
Vandalia and the Ohio and Mississippi.
In this connection, the following from
a Chicago exchange, recalls the old by
word Of "cutting off ones nose to spite
his face"
The Pennsylvania Railroad Compa-
nv has made reductions IN passenger
rates between the seaboard and the
principal Western cities, excepting
Chicago. The people hereways, per-
haps, have been somewhat too warm IN
the support of the Baltimore and
Ohio, and much too cool towards the
Texas Pacific. This railroad war is a
personal matter with Mr.. Tom Scott.
He wants revenge, not revenue. So he
puts his poor old nose to the grindstone,
and bids travellers from Chicago to
take the opposition line.

The Remington Gun Works, at

men, night and day, upon contract
for 100000 breech-loading rifles for the
Spanish Government. Between 1900
and 5000 finished rifles are shipped
per week. The Providence Tool Com
pany, of Providence, Rhode Island,
are now at work on a contract for Co.,
600 Peabody-Marsini rifles for the
Turkish Government, and are turning
ont about 600 of them daily. These
orders have crossed the water because
the armories of Europe, public and
private, are already working at full
blast. with all the orders ahead that
they care to take. 1t looks as if the
Continent were preparing for a general

Frank Burdett who was sentenced ir
May, 1873, to term of twenty years i'm
prisonment for rape, from Goodhue coun'
ty, has been pardoned by Gov. Davis
Among the signers to the petition for the
pardon were the prosecuting attorney Of
Goodhue county and the woman or
whom the rape was committed.
The probabilities for March are
according to Mr.. John H. Tice, Of St.
Louis, 'heavy rains, fierce gales, possibly
tornadoes, and, probably earthquakes, in
earthquake countries. They may be
more than ordinarily severe, since Mer'
curial equinox also occurs March L.
Mr.. Tice ought to know, for he furnishes
astronomical calculations and meteorolog
ical records extending over the last 2,OO(
years.
And now comes another mysterious
disappearance. The wife and family o.
Ephriam Abbott of Pine Grove, Portage
county, Wis, have heard nothing of him
since last fall, at which time he was at
tending the Commercial College in this
city, but is supposed to have soon left fol
the interior Of the State to engage ir
teaching or perhaps telegraphing. Hi
wife is at Almond, Wis, and any infor
nation addressed to her or Charles E.
Webster at the same place will be thank
fully received.

A Lake City Institution.

On a recent visit to Lake City.we had occa-
sion to visit Mr. Gillett's Foundry and Ma
chine Shop, and were much surprised to find
an institution of such magnitude. We found
it to be one of the best appointed and scientif-
cally conducted manufacturing establishments
in the State. Mr.. Gillett employs about thirty
men, and being an experienced mechanic
himself, nothing leaves the factory until it is
perfect. He called our especial attention to
his stock of school desks and seats, and we
would recommend to trustees and others ft-
ting up school houses, to see them before pur-
chasing.
Among other things under construction we
noticed an Engine which he informed us was
for the use of the Wabashaw County Sentinel.
Mr.. Browns to be congratulated at the pros
perity of the Sentinel, and the city, in the
DOS session of the means of the manufacture Of
all the necessary machinery for its increasing
business.
Mr.. Gillett assured us that his capacity for
work was not limited to locality, but that he
was both ready and willing to receive and exc
cute all orders that might be entrusted to him
from abroad and guarantee satisfaction.
And, by the way, Lake City is one OF the
most prosperous towns in the State, besides
occupying one of the most beautiful situations
in the world,

buy it, as consider it the best harvester
made. Yours, &C., A. T. MERrENs.
