A FEW years ago a company was
formed for the purpose of tunneling un-
der the Hudson River between New
York and Jersey City, with large guar
anteed capital and work began with
every prospect of being carried to sue
cessful termination. Legal complica-
tions, however, arose and the work sud-
denly terminated to be almost forgotten
by the public. The courts have, however,
at last succeeded in untangling the legal
skein, and it is announced that work is
about to be resumed. This tunnel is to
be 10000 feet long, not quite two and
one-third miles, &c feet wide, "a feet high
and 60 feet below the bed of the river.
The bottom Of the tunnel, when done, is
to be laid with heavy steel rails, bal
lasted with broken rock and supplied
with pneumatic tuhes, water pipes and
telegraph wires. Two years are esti
mated as needed to complete it, and it i;
roughly stated that it will enable foul
hundred trains to enter New York CITY
every twenty-four hours, which is proba
bly, very rough statement, indeed. Al
Cincinnati will have to tunnel the Ohic
River one Of these days, we shall watcl
with interest the progress of matters a

INDIAN AGENT MEEKER, who has
probably lot his life in the general mas
sacre at White River, was one of the
founders of Greeley, Colorado, which is
now thriving little city of three thou
sand inhabitants. He was respected
throughout Colorado, where he was uni.
versally spoken of as Father Meeker
and no doubt had the welfare of the red
men at heart more than any man who
ever filled a similar position. He was
about sixty-fye years old, and was ac
companied at the agency by his aged
wife and two daughters, who no doubt
have shared his fate.

The New York Tribune in its market re-
port, explained why some butter is sold for
such low prices. In speaking of butter it
said "Light colored goods are very hard to
dispose of and several lots were thought
well sold at to 10 cents" If butter makers
would get the top price, they should use

Governor Bishops speech in McConnells-
vile will have no little effect for the sue
cess of the Democratic ticket in Ohio.
General Ewing, as was expected was ac-
corded most enthusiastic reception here

The Council Committee on fixing the
price of Gas put it yesterday at 81 IS per
1000 cubic feet. The committee paid more
attention to the voice Of the siren from the
Gas Company than to the demands OF the
consumers. Had it watched the interests
of the consumers the price would not have
exceeded 81 50. With such price the Gas
Company would more than cover the costs.
If not, the courts would be open for relief.
The city needed not fear a suit. The deli
cate fear of the committee that the courts
could increase the price is unwarranted.
The decision of the committee, however, is
not final. Council can annul its action.
Will Council oppose public sentiment the
same as was done by the committee?
