During the first session Of the Forty
fourth Congress, a bill directing the
Secretary of War to make a survey
and report of the most feasible route
from Austin, Tex, to Topolovampo,
Mexico, was adopted by both COM
mittees on the Pacific Railroad, and
reported therefrom; but, by reason of
complica cations peculiar to that Con-
gress, no action was obtained in either
the Senate or House.
The said route, if found to be prac-
will give all the important
centers of industry and population in |
the United States and Canada. east Of
the Rocky Mountains, the great lakes,
and the Saint Lawrence Valley, and
every port on the Atlantic coast of
this country, n short, convenient, and

Died. December 3lst at the residence OF her
father, near Kerrville in Shelby county, Tennessee,
HARRIET JANE, beloved daughter of Rev. DR..
Andrew H. Kerr, and Mrs, Mary j. O. Kerr, aged
81 years, months and Is days.
The many friends of our venerable brother, both
in Virginia and elsewhere, will be deeply grleved
to hear OF this painful bereavement 1t has betal-
len him at time when he is in great teebleness OF
bodily health, and when he is still bowed down
under his recent sore atfi coD IN the loss OF his
gifted and beloved brother DR.. John K. Kerr.
Many of the readers of this paper cherish atfec-
tomato and pleasing remembrance of Lady, las she
was always Familiarity caled) the elder of the two
interesting daughters who remained to comfort
DR.. and Mrs. Kerr after the loss of their three
children several years ago. The readers of ''Chil'
dren of the Covenant" will deeply sympsthlze
with these ofs bereaved parents, but will rejoice
with them in their full assurance that their lovely
daughter has found home in those same blessed
mansions to which those who preceded her have
gone. Many years ago she made public profession
of her faith in Christ and was admitted to the
communion Of the Church. Her natural gentle
ness and loneliness of character was refined by
grace. Her Christian life was one OF tervor and
growth Her last hours were full OF peace Her
last words Papa | am not afraid to die all my
trust is in Jesus" At noon on the last day OF the
old year, her gentle spirit passed through the
bright sunlight OF that beautiful day to the bright
and more glorious sun light of the Celestial city.
