Aside irumthat not much can be said OF

at Cincinnati and there we find wonders

we are stopped at Kansas City, and that
city has fire bridge worth looking at;
outside of the bridge nothing worth

on the Kansas Pacific, and everything

she did not keep it up tor naught, for

we were; and as our dear friends on Null

fastened to that spot most dear-Home,
As we went we had so many pine
bridges in our mind we were compelled
to stop at the Mulberry bridge at Chace's.
Oh, how we longed for home, we had
devoted so much time and SAID so much
about other bridges we could not pass,
and pause we did. We wondered, we
looked at the sun and then sat down to

Strange Revelation Jack Frost in the
EGie Of an Oracle.


One Of the strangest exhibitions, or
condolences, or revelations, or W hatever
it may be named, that we have ever
heard or read of = very closely border
ing ION the marvellous and supernatural
-occErred some days since in the house
Of one Of our citizens. It's truth Is
vouchcd for by the gentleman, his wife
and family, all Of whom are credible
witnesses, whose testimony would not
be doubted by any body, but whose
names we do not feel at liberty TO make
known. The facts, as stated to US, are
as follows:
One of these frosty mornings, OF
which We have had snch a superabund-
ancc, this winter, while the children of
the family IN which this strange rcvcIa
ton was made, were Amusing them
selves in the sillingroom, they observ-
cd figure in the frosting on the window
pane. 1t appeared to be the picture OF
Il female, holding in her hand \ paper.
The outlines were so plain that even the
stripes on the dress were plainly obser-
vable. The children at once called the
attention OF the mother to the strange
picture, and finally the father was called,
who recognized in 1t an exact represen-
taiiOn Of his mother. Ha:ing a correct
photograph OF her, be brought it out
and placed the pictures side by side, and
they correspondent, even 20 the stripes on
the dress, except the picture in frost was
holding the paper document in her hand.
The picture remained upon the window
panes for an hour or two till dissipated
by the warmth of the room, or perhaps
OF the san, outside. But now comes the
strangcst part Of the story. The next
day after this appearance, the gentleman
received by mail, a paper pa ,kuge cx-
actly corresponding with the orc in the
band Of the image, which on being
opened, proved to be auolicc to the gen
tleman that hc bad become tho heir 10
large legacy from his deceased mother
in foreign land. What may we not
look for next, when frost becomes the
medium OF communication between dis
tant lands. to herald the coming OF near
events = Wisconsin State Journal.

rumorcd that orders have been received
by the Indian government, from Eng

That paper supposcs that such orders
point to the possibility Of war on large
scale, not in India, but in Europe. The
only consolation We who reside on tins

above prospect, or reported prospect OF

THE NEW ROAD PROJECT.

A new road project is De1ng put
under way that, if adopted and
assisted by the County Commits
sioners. will greatly benefit the
people of the comfy at large, par
ticularly the travelling public and
freighters, and towns of Sutro,
DAYTON and Silver. 1t is proposed
to make q new road through from
Dayton to Columbus, in Esmeralda
county, which will not only be
much shorter, but will cut through
better and smoother section.
The proposed road will diverge
from the old one twelve miles
below Dayton, cross the Carson
river at or near the farm of Riley
Houghan, and striking across the
country which is now triangled by
the old road, will enter Mason
Valley at a point known as Stink
ing Wells, on a direct line to
Columbus, making saving of 30
miles in distance between the last
named point and railroad com
munication. It would open up a
new avenue to the hauling trade of
Churchill and Esmeralda, and
make it to their advantage to get
their freight at the Mound House
Station instead of taking it off the
railroad at Wadsworth on the Cen
trail Pacific. With such road the
traffic of Churchill, Esmeralda, the
Mason Valley trade (which now
goes to Washoe and Ormsby) and
that of the large farming sections
of Fish Springs and Aida valleys,
south and east of Columbus, would
naturally accrue to Silver City and
Dayton. The copper product in
the extreme eastern portion of
of Lyon county would also find,
through this new outlet, a benefit
in the lessening of the distance
between it and its places Of con-
sumption, Dayton and Carson.
We regard the project as one of
much importance to the county,
and have good reason to believe
that majority of the taxpayers
desire to see it carried to compile
ton. Individual parties who are
more directly interested in having
the road built, stand ready to not
only furnish gratis all the lumber
and timbers that will be required
for bridging the streams which the
new road will cross, but offer tC
construct them also without cent
of cost to the county. Parties bet
ter acquainted with the route thar
are we tell us that, outside of the
lumber for and construction of the
bridges, the road can be put
through for the small sum OF
$4,000 or less. This amount is all
that would have to be paid by the
county, and it seems to us that the
benefits accruing would fully jus
tify the expenditure. Since writ
ing the above we are informed thai
several prominent citizens of Day
ton and Silver City will contribute
literally to building the road, and
that it will not probably cost the
county more than one-half of the
amount mentioned above. 1t i:
estimated that the road could be
completed and ready for teams
within one month from it's com
mencement. The matter is one
that should have the immediate at
tention Of the Commissioners and
people.
