Railroad Items

Mr.. E, Baldwin, on leaving Dodge
vile, last week, "footed" it to Lone
Rock, end reports by letter that a
close inspection of the route down OF
ter creek shows it to be more favorable
than he had previously supposed.
Reports from all along the line of
the proposed railroad from Freeport to
Lone Rock, within this county, are of
the most encouraging character. The
people everywhere are enthusiastically
in favor of the project and are ready
to aid it in very substantial manner,
whenever it shall be shown that their
aid will do any good.
The village Board on Wednesday
night, appointed Hon. Joel Whitman
and Peter J. Morris a committee te
visit Freeport, ILL.,, and ascertain
the feeling of the people there
toward our new railroad project
Should this committee find the people
of Freeport willing to do their part to
wards the road, the Board have de
cided to at once appropriate $15t
out of the Village treasury toward the
expense of survey. Messrs. Whit
man and Morris departed on their mis-
sien this (Thursday) morning.

eEJ. j, Heckendorn, Of the town
of Highland, hung himself in the barn
at the Iowa County Poor Farm, last
Sunday night. He had been regarded
as of unsound mind for some time pre-
vious, and was always confined at nights,
though nothing serious was apprehen-
ded from him. Shortly after he was
released on Sunday morning, he dis
appeared, and although considerable
search and inquiry was made for him
about the place and neighborhood-
his wife having come that day to see
him-no clew as to his whereabouts
could be found; but on going to the
barn, early Monday morning, one of
the inmates of the In6rmary found him
hanging from rafter of the hay-lnow,
by a rope that had been used in haul
ing up hay, and it is supposed that he
had secreted himself in the NOW, dur
ing Sunday, awaiting favorable op-
portunity to perform the fearful act.

From the Tribune, Feb. 9th.
We note with pleasure that Rev. 7.
Kent, the efficient pastor of the P. NJ,
Church who has been disabled by sick.
ness for two weeks, has resumed his
lAbors, and again his genial presence is
enjoyed by the public.
Protracted meetings are still held in
both Methodist churches of this city.
and a great revival of religion is conf
IDENTIFY hoped for by the earnest work
ers. Considera BILE interest is manifest
ed in the meetings, and many have
signifed their desire to become better
people.
The somewhat notorious Mrs. King
died in this city last Friday. Once a
fond mother and exemplary wife, she
became victim to an appetite for
strong drink, and thence her course
was downward, till she reached the
lowest depths of womans shame; dying
"unwept, Inhonored and unsung."
AS Mr.. James Alton, of Miflin, was
proceeding down High street. last Sat
urday, with load of wheat, NE clevice
pin in one of his singletrees dropped
out, in front ofGundry's store, and the
horses becoming Heightened and un-
manageable, started pell-mell down
street. The driver was thrown off at
Dellers crossing, and the team swept
on to the next corner. when turning
suddenly to the right, the wagon was
upset and thrown with such force
against Mulcahy's building as to de-
molish it badly, and scatter the grain in
all directions, The horses were thrown
down and entangled so as to stop them
from proceeding further. Fortunately
few teams were on the street, none
were collided with and nobody hurt.

How to Get a Railroad.

Mr.. EDITOR: you are aware,
the good people of Dodgeville have
had another Railroad meeting. It is
astonishing how prolific of such as
semblages the place is! Who can
venture to assert that it is not an en-
terprising town-in talk. Not long
since there was a route or two for a
railroad surveyed, and SO magical was
the effect of this act, that the whistle
of the locomotive might be heard
eight miles off! and if the cars
themselves we're invisible, it was
because they stopped before they
got to the end Of their destination.
But has not the appalling fact ever
struck the mind of the inhabitants,
that the village itself is liable to be
absorbed in the many tracks of its
numerous railroads that in fact it
will be all railroad and no village.
Desperate efforts should be made by
them at cnce to avert this evil by en-
larging its limits. Possibly by taking
Mineral Point into its suburbs, they
can, for awhile, at least, have one raj
road going without further addition,
thing that their less fortunate neigh
or, it seems, cannot DO. But this, Of
course, would only be a mere temporary
arrangement, fer few more railroad
meetings will render imperative call
for large addition Of territory. If
imagination Of the inhabitants could
only prove IS fertile as the immortal
Dick Swivlor's, they can all eujoy a
ride on the cars, from their doors, next
fourth. Think Of that and let not
your meetings cease for want of pluck
or public spirit. ANON.

Bog The Galena and Platteville mar
row gauge railroad still continues to
earn from $50 to $40 per day over OPP
Grating expenses, which amounts to a
little more than three per cent. upon
the total capital invested in its con-
struction and equipment. When we
take into consideration the facts that
this road is but thirty miles long, and
has to compete, virtually, with the Il,
linois Central at both ends, this is a
very gratifying showing, and demon
strates clearly that narrow gauge roads
are destined to prove a good investment
for CAPITALISTS.
