Communicated.

Mn. EDfTog.--I saw in your paper of
last week, letter from Col. Simpson
in regard to the :. e l.. Railroad.
The Col. Is etill alive to the interests
Of Snyder county. and IL indcfatigablc
in his labors to get the railroad into Oh.
GRAFTON syain. He says in hs lctter,
that "a soon as the people along the
line will settle their claims for DANA.
ges Justly &c. the road will be operated
and no sooner" This il no more than
improve and enhance the value of the
farms and other property, along the
line, and now for farmers to ask from
two To ten thousand dollars more for
their farms then they did before the
Rail Road was made, and in addition.
claim n couple thousand damages,
seems neither reasonable nor Just. IN
fact the stoppage Of tho cars has only
opened the eyes of tho people to tho
real benefit uf tho road to tho commu-
nifty, aud indeed developed the fact
that there are but tcry few real DANA
gcs, that are not more than made up
10y reW advantages aud I believe this
view will Toe sustained if ever case
comes into court again. l think that
the day FOR heavy verdicts has gone 10y
III this county, as tho people have been
taught lesson they did not know. But
| believe the people mostly feel righ;
on this question and will be glad to
settle ON just aud equitable terms. if
only they bad the Opportunity Why
don't sOrle Authorized party wait ON
them and give thom a chAnco2 And
such as are not willing Co do tho right
thing. let them 90 20 the court and they
will iiri that jurics too have advanced
in their knowledge OF railroads and the
relation It bears TO the prosperity Of o

Bones Of q Mammoth Discovered i'm
Canada.

From the st. GATHERINGS News of Saturday.
Last night we had the pleasure of
viewing the mammoth bones recently
found on the farm of Mr.. Isaac Wardell
in Canboro, near Dunville. They are
certainly the most extraordinary re-
mains yet found in Canada, possibly in
America. Fhe parts shown are an i'm
mense tusk or horn, weighing over 20C
pounds, and another portion of tusk
about IS pounds There is also exhib-
tied a short rib five feet long, several
vertebrn portions of a skull, and two
halves of underjaws. The tooth, OF
which the animal had two in each side
of the jaws, weighs 81 pounds. There
is also the lower lone of the leg. Mr..
Wardel, whose practical skill as a
butcher enables him to calculate OF
animals, shows that this animal, from
comparative anatomy, must have weigh
ed over 100 tons, and have stood Is to
20 feet high! It does not bear the
characteristics of mastodon, and its
species has not yet been allocated. 1t
is certainly one of the wonders of the
age, and the people of st. Catharines
should not lose the opportunity of view
ing the remains in the shop recently
occupied by Avellng & Junks, st. Paul
street,

A Washington Relic.

. Henry B. Ny gait, of Oxford, has
just forwarded through Senator Thomp-
son to Chancellor Pruyn, of the Uni
versity, for the State Library, an inter
esting relic Of the days when George
Washington was but a land surveyor.
The relic consists of a map of 1856 IA
acres Of land, situated in Augusta
county, Virginia, and a certificate set
ting forth that the same had been sur
veyed. Both the map and the certif-
cate are from the pen of Washington,
and are models of neatness. The GER
tifcate is signed &C. Washington, %
and is dated November 7, 1749-the
surveyor being then in his seventeenth
year. After Washington's name appear
the initials IS. @. CO. which stands for
Surveyor to the County Court. The
document, which is in a remarkable
good state of preservation, is inclosed
in a stout metallic frame and protected
by glass. The State Library already
contains the surveying implements used
by Washington, which they purchased
some years since for good round sum,
and this certificate and map will in
connection be of great interest.

The Winter Robin.
by MARIAN DOUGLAS.

BY MARIAN DOUGLAS.
The dead ferns Ger the thin crisp snow
Are rustling in the winter breeze,
And one mute bird fits to and fro
Between these clumps of alder trees.
A robin! What has summers proudest
And sweetest singer come to this?
His carol was of June's the loudest-
A rapturous lay of love and bliss!
But desolate and voicelesstnow
He fingers in the wood alone, L.
Haunts the swamp ash-tree's frosty bough
And pecks the sumac's faded cone,
And in the bitter night hides where
Thick hemlecks shield him from the air,
Long since his mates of summer fled;
When first the yellow leaves were she'd; ca
Now in the sun the fields CLEAN white;
Around his nest the rough winds blow;
Yet with weak heart he shrinks from fight
And stays. although he longs to go;
Too cherries and too cold to sing,
He tarries still and waits for spring
Mute haunter of the woodland dreary,
Ny summer songs, like thine, are Ger,
My care-worn spirit is too weary
To plume her wings and try to soar;
Too dull from what l dread to fly,
Too sore at heart to sing am [;
And, with a thought half envious, now
watch thee on the alder bough;
For brief must now be winters stay,
And glad thine April song will be;
While but question Hope, and say, .sa
Twill spring time ever come to nae ~

The Raid on the James Brothers.

It is claimed that Governor Hardin,
of Missouri, has received positive proof
that the recent fatal attack upon the
home of the James boys, in Clay coun-
ty, was made by men in the employ of
Pinkerton. A man at Liberty has been
keeping up cypher correspondence
with Pinkerton for several months, post
ing him as to the movements of the
