be completed in ten days, and the tunnel
through Big Horn mountains Just beyond
the streams will be ready for use at the
close Of this week. The grading is done a

Mr.. Willard expresses himself greatly
pleased with the progress Of the road and
the general development Of the country.
The wheat crops oil along the line were
never in more promising condition, and
there has been wonderful growth in towns

The gentlemen were greatly surprised at
what they learned Of the town OF Billings,
which Is now seventy miles from rail-

400 souls living in eishty:seven houses and
tents, the great difficulty being now in the
lack Of building material. The first nun.

town have already begun grading for n

about three o'clock, they observed a huge

the sunshine when first observed, but upon
the approach OF the men hiea himself
down the hill Mt rnpid ratc. Some Of

ot the University, which position has been
very accephbly filled since the resignation
OF Rev. ]. R. Thompson. by Prof. D. B.

known throughout the State, and Is said to
be .eminently qualified to fill the high po-
sltlon to which he has been called. Z He
was one Of the electors on tho Hancock and

Democratic in politics. He is very pol.

An intelligent and prominent citizen Of
Pennsylvania who visited the 1SrELLI-
GEscER office yesterday, says that it is too
soon to tell how the political campaign in
that s'a'eis going to shape itself. As yet
the Democrats have no ticket in the field,
and the fight, rs fur rs there is any, is be-
tween the Camerons and the Independents.
The New York Tribune, however, has this
to say Of the situation as it now stands
80 fur MS there are any changes reported
they are in favor OF the Independents. In
the Cumberland and Wyoming Valleys
ge., gains are reported for the independ-
elt ticket. Its candidate for Governor
lives in the former, and his popularity
among the people who know him best is
shown by the fact that in 1850, when he
ran ior State Senator, his majority in Cum
herlan0 county was ,00l, while Garfield's
was only lis. Garfield polled the full Re
publican vote, but Stewart drew from all
parties In the adjoining county OF
Franklin eight members OF the Regu-
lar Republican County Committee have
resigned and joined the Independents,
They headed by the best political organ.
lzer in the county, and their withdrawal
leaves the Cameron party virtually without
4 county organization. In the Wyoming
valley the situation is equally striking.
The Independents took the field there very
early. Three days after the Philadelphia
Convention they held a large meeting at
Wilkesbarre, at which the .wealthiest man
in the city presided, and the strongest man
politically in his county, Charles Parrish,
gave his adhesion to the Independent
cause Mr.. Parrish is very rich coal ope-
ntor who employs directly and indirectly
1000 men, and is II manager Of the Phila.
deIphla and Reading railroad, which en-
Ploys 5000 men. He has always been &C.
tive in politics. and has contributed hand
somely to the Republican campaign fund.
