A sad AFFAIR.

On the 22nd Of January Mrs George Nc.
Bride, of Peoria departed this life while
yet in the prime of life. Her husband
George Mcbride, though at the time en-
joying good health survived her only
three days dying on the 25th, his death
being caused, it is said by ruptured ar
terry, produced by over taxation of the
mind and nerves, They leave seven chill
dren the oldest Of whom was only twelve,
and the youngest being pair OF twins
only three weeks old. They are left
fatherless and notherless, but it is to be
hoped that there will be many on account
of the good reputation Of the parents who
will care for the little ones, and no doubt
there will be. For particulars see our
0akville correspondence.

The NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD will be
completed and opened in September, just 10
years after the financial disaster which over
took the enterprise in 1873 and which precip-
itated the long commercial depression. When
the company suspended in 1873 it had 450
miles constructed in Minnesota and Dakota
and l05 in Washington territory. The road
when completed in September will be nearly
2OO0 miles long upon its main line and about
600 upon its branches The celebration of
the completion of this new channel of trade
between the oceans will take place near the
Mulan tunnel on the western slope of the
Rocky Mountains, in Montana, Sept. s, and
will be attended by large party of invited
guests, including leading stockholders from
Europe, all the leading ex.presidents of the
road (Gmong them Frederick Billings and ex-
Gov. Smith of this state), and many friends
of the enterprise and journalists. President
Willard will drive the last spike, and William
