in the construction OF such a
road. among others, for the follow

III Cne cOnSCrucLlOu o. SUCH u
road, among others, for the follow
ing reasons, viz: LIST. Because
the construction of such n road
would increase the value of the
public lands in the region that
would be thereby %traversed to an
amount largely in excess of what
the lands, which might be reason
ably granted, would realize at the
maximum price for lands forming
a part of the public domain. I'd.
Because such a road would facili-
tate the settlement of the country
thereby traversed, resulting in the
creation of property and wealth
to the public revenue, and in the
civilization, or determination, of
the Indian tribes that now infest
the region and make depredations
upon the neighboring settlements,
r%etarding the settlement of the
country and necessitating large
expenditures for their control;
and Sd. Because it would effect a
great saving and convenience to
the government in the use of said
road for postal, Emilitary and other
purposes; wherefore, Your me-
morialists pray that a grant of
public lands be made to enable
the Union Pacific Railroad Conn.,
pany in the construction of n rail-
road and telegraph line from
Cheyenne, Wyoming, to Fort
Montana, with branch to
Deadwool, Dakota, and, as in
bound, your memorialists
will ever pray.

A SHOWER OF RoCKs.-On Friday
last week, says the Walton County
Georgia. Vidette. in the early after
noon. on Coviugton street in Social
Circle, there occurred one of the straug-
est phenomena ever seen in Georgia
Ii was nothing more or less than a gen
uine shower Of stones, varying In size
from as large as hens egg to mans
two fists. The stones are Of irregular
shape. of dark. arayish color. inter
spread with bright shiny substance
resembling isinglass The shower was
very brief, and extended no. over fo1r
acres OF ground. and was followed by an
explosive sound not unlike cannonading.
A psnicky feeling prevailed the vicin-
ity visited by the shower. Happily.
every one except "a negro woman was in
doors at the time. else some one might
have been injured one rock as large
rs d mans two fists, came near striking
this woman. As many as u dozen
stones fell on the roof Of the editors
house, though without doing much dam
age.
