Just fifty years ago the first.
passenger nilroatI in England, the.
LiYprp0nland Manchester Railway
was opened with great ccrcmNliy.,
A year before Il prize Of f500I
had Uecn offered for lie lOc0nlo-
tive engine, which had been won
by Robert Stephcnson's Rocket
upon which were subsequently,
modelled the old grasslOpycr en-
gilIes Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, their appearance being
suggestive Of their name. Eight
locomotive engines had been CONF
pletc,I.and placed upon the line,
and all lad been tested with entire
success. To every engine was'at-
tached four passenger carriages,
each containing twenty persons.
The first engine the Norihunbria,
drew the most distinguished guests
the Duke Of Wellington, Sir
Robert Peel and other members Of
the Ministry. II had one line OF
the double track 10 itself. The
other seven locomotives, with
their carriages, followed each other
on tie other line. The procession
started from Liverpool ut eleven
o'clock, with flags, music, iine
weather and great enthusiasm.
Seventeen miles from Liverpool
they stopped to take water, aulsin
order to afford the Duke Of Well
ington an opportunity Of seeing tho
procession, the seven locolnOtiyes,
with their carriages, were ordered
to pass slowly BY, the Nortllumi
brain standing on its track. Ssyi
craI gentlemen had aIightetl while
the locomotives were taking in wa.
ter, and one Of them, MIR! Huskis-
son, Member OF Parliament for Liy.
crpmi, and an carncst supporterIofs
the railroad cause, catching sight
oftlle Duke Of Wellington, between
whom and himself there lad been
some political GOODNESS, ran eager
lyacross the track to shake him
bv the hand. Atthat momentlthe
order was given for tile seven en-
gines to move forward Mr. Illus.
kisson was bcwi!,lercd. The Rock
et, which,was the leading engine,
struck him while lie was stillin

railway was opened for passenger
traiic, and carried 140 persons
from Liverpool to ManclIester5in
two hours. The original caicula-
ti"ns OF the construction hatl heenz
based on probable returns from
heavy merchandise trafic-coal,
cotton and iron. They hud formed
no expectations ofNny great emol-
unent for transporting passengers.
But the railway was hardly opened
before an average Of 1900 persons
daily were willing to trust it with
their lives. In few years it was
found tha: the enormous traffic
was too heavy fr the original rails,
aud it became necessary to relay
the roa,i at considerable expense.

St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1880-04-10

Mr.. EDIToH-Through the columns
of your paper you should urge as the
most appropriate man for President of
our new Town Council, Mr.. George
Pulford, one of the members elect.
He is eminently qualified for the
position, is perfectly conscientious in
the discharge of all obligations, and
has at heart the best interests of the
people. Socially he is a perfect gentle
man, in politics he has ever figured as
an upright, outspoken, public spirited
citizen, he has no superior. He
reluctantly consented to become a
candidate for councilman and could
only be persuaded on to do so by the
uncompromising persistence of many
voters. Many besides those who sup
ported him through the last campaign
are anxiously waiting to congratulate
him as President of our Town Coucil.
EOX POPuLI.
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1880-04-10

Our District Court met last Monday
The jury drawn for the term was dis
charged, because, we believe, the new
law under which the same was drawn,
was not then in force owing to sufficient
time not having elapsed since its pro-
mitigation, as required by the constitu-
ton. Consequently we will have no
jury this court, and no criminal trials
before next October. Several prisoners,
however, have already plead guilty,
and will be sentenced,
