A number of young Frenchmen un-
dertook to smoke and jest at a midnight
mass on Christmas eve in a parish
church, near Tours. One of them seized
a burning taper and set it under the
chair of pious gentleman who was
absorbed in his devotions. For these
and other eccentricities they have been
recently sentenced to terms of impris-

road will be built this summer, and

to pass this way instead of around
by Duluth. This will be a good

from its present terminus. The
road is now operated with daily
service forty-three miles northward
from Hudson, and this distance will
be increased to sixty-three miles in
the course ofa few months. Twenty
more will probably be graded this
year, thus practically making the
construction of the whole line to
Bayfield, sure thing next year, as
the whole distance of one hundred
and fifty eight miles will be more
than half completed at the close
1877. This is an extremely impor-
tant line to the city of St. Paul and
State of Minnesota, and wisdom
and prudence should have long ago
overcome the obstacles hich stood
in the way of its completion. An
immense business awaits those who
afford facilities for reaching the
settlements on the north and south
shores of Lake Superior, which are
now cnt off from the world except
by a circuitous route to St. Paul
by way of Duluth, or still more re-
moter cities on the lakes to the east
ward. The railroad and CONNER
clal interests Of Lake Michigan have
had an eye upon the business which
promises to centre at Ashland and
Bayfield,, and they have been strain
ing every nerve to be the first to
reach the goal, and their efforts are
now nearly crowned with success.
Within the next twenty days the
Wisconsin Central railroad, will be
entirely completed, and cars will be
running between Milwaukee and
Ashland, a distance of three hun
dred and fifty miles, mostly through
an uninhabited wilderness. This
line will connect with the Northern
Pacific railroad by a daily indepen-
dent line OF steamers between Ash
land and Duluth. Now as Fort
William, Thunder Bay and all
portions OF the north shore of Lake
Superior where population is most
dense and mineral wealth most
abundant, are much more accessible
by way Of Ashland than by way of
Duluth, there is reason to believe
that considerable trade that has
been tributary to St. Paul will be
directed to Milwaukee. But as the
latter city is just twice IS far from
Ashland as from St. Paul, there is
no reason to doubt that St. Paul
will take that trade and keep it, just
as soon as the North Wisconsin
can be finished. Already the towns
on Lake Superior are waking to
new life and prosperity. a large
and elegant new hotel is beng
erected at Ashland, to accommo-
date the travel that will be turned
through that port by the railroad
company and the new steamboat
line. Bayfield, is also putting on
airs and its business is reviving, the
prospects of its fisheries being par
ticularly bright, as refrigerator cars
will enable Bayfield, to ship fresh
fish daily both to Milwaukee and ST.
Paul. In view, therefore, Of the
developments on Lake Superior, it
would behoove St. Paul and its
merchants to keep an eye to wind
ward, and if they can do anything
to expedite work on the North
Wisconsin road they ought to do it.
