SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Aug l6.-There is nc
question but what the show of draft horses
to be held III connection with the Illinois
state fair 20 be held at Chicago the week

the largest and most creditable exhibition
of horses ever before collected together. As
Chicago is the draft horse center of Auler-

CINCINNATI, Aug. II" -Georse Helm,
brewer, about a week ago sent his wife and
four children TO visit her father and mother
ON their farm near Eisas, Ind. and promised
to follow them in u few days He has been
missing since last Thursday and Saturday
morning neighbors found his body hanging
by u strap deeply imbedded IN the flesh OF
his neck, aud fastened to the top hinge of
his bedroom door. He had evidently been
hanging since Thursday. 1t is probable
that sickness and a DOCTORS bill unreceipted,
which lay on the table, had something to do
with precipitating him into that state OF

The River and Harbor Bill.

The River and Harbor Bill inst pre-
pared by the House Committee, says
the Times Democrat is larger than was
expected. Ample provisions are made
for the improvement of streams in this
State, giving S2,25O,OOO to the Miss
isslppi below Cairo, s250,OoO for the
mouths of the Red and Atchafalaya.
100000 for the harbor of New Or
leans, and s179, 500 for other Louisi-
ana streams and rivers.
AS our well informed contemporary
says-the bill aims at the general i'm
provement of Red river, making libe-
raj appropriations for it, with the in
tention of keeping it permanently open
to Fulton, Ark, and Jefferson, Texas.
Our Congressman from this Dist
riot, Hon. N. G. Blanchard, is a men,
Der of this important committee, and
to his untiring efforts is due principally
that which was done for the rivers in
this section. His constituents are sure
to applaud him.

The Silver Spike.

The Natchez Democrat of the 23d inst
says: The Natchez, Red River and Texas
Railroad has at last been finished, the sill
yer spike having been driven at noon yes
terday (Monday) by John holland, from
the Emerald Isle" at the terminus of the
road, on Black river, opposite Troyville.
Messrs. Arnold, DeGarris & Co., the con-
structors of the line, have, in the building
of the road, shown themselves to be first
class railroad men, and have completed
their contract before the allotted time, in
spite of the bad weather and other draw
backs. The completion of this road will,
we think, mark new era in the CONNER
cial history of Natchez, and the event de-
serves to be especially celebrated in some
appropriate manner. Superintendent
Stafford informs us that the trains are
now running through from Vidalia, ON the
Mississippi river, to the depot at the wes-
tern terminus on Black river, on schedule
time. 1t is hoped to have the new roll
ing stock on the road before great
while,
