we meandered up to Mr.. Vince

saw, and handled and aceighed a
potato which weighed good four
pounds, another which pull d down
the scales at three and ahalf pounds,
a large number which weighed two
pounds and a half, and saw two
bushels of them spread out on the
floor which would average tUo
pounds apiece. Any other county

Mr.. l. |. Moore, who, several
weeks ago, was sent by our citizens
to Washington to consult with Mr.
Corcoran and other Of the heavy
landed prCprietors Of Superior on
railroad matters, returned this
(rhurslay) morning. Though Mr..
Moore did not, as many expected,
bring home araiIroad in his breeches
pocket, still, we understand, he brings
very favorable reports Of the sftua-
ton of affairs. We have not vet
had an opportunity to interview
him, and hence cannot make any
statement Of what he has accom-
plished, though we are assured by
those who were in WASHINGTON and
New York at the same time Mr.. ".
was, that he did all that it was pos
sible for one man to do. We think
however, that we can assure our
readers with safety, that no railroad
building will be done in the vicinity
of Superior, before next winter,
though we may be, and hope we
are, mistaken.
