The Plymouth, Kankakee, & Pacific Railroad.

From the Plymouth DemocratIt is rumored that negotiations are pending looking te the purchase of the Ply* mouth, Kankakee & Pacific railroad by the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne & Chicago railroad company. The P., K. & P. road was in eourso of construction In 1878, When the panic struck the country, paralysing the country, and coming, when it did, before the iron had been laid ddwn, work was suspended on the road, after it had been graded almost the entire line and many of the bridges built. The organisation has been maintained, but no effort has been made to complete the road since the panic. This io an. important Hue, being about one hundred miles in lengOb, and {fanning through a country sadly in need of a railroad, the local trade of which would doubtless make it a paying road from the Mart; besides it would shtn-ten the distance to the east for Illinoia shippore very Bgateriallv, Should the negotiators be successful, the will, be. completedlffiUßSdlatelyami operated by the Pittsburgh, Ff, wsynes Chicago road. . . 1

Ir you would see something that will do' your eyes good, call at Leopold’s and lookthrough his stock of calicos and dree* goods. Yoh will surely find something t<r suit in quality and price. A.

Commissioners are in session. But Sow' ever wise and prudent they - will find it im-' possible to please everybody.

Leopold's goods are cheaper than we ever saw articles similar in quality sold.

Thiatrical.—The theatrical entertain-' ment given by .the Rensselaer Dramatic Club, Saturday night last, was creditable' to the actors and to the manager—to aV who were connected with it. The several* parts evidently had been studied with care; and each did his beet to succeed. They did succeed, too, in giving an entertain--ment quite worthy of themselves and pleasing to their fair sined house. Wsatheb.—This latitude has been visited with an assortment of weather during the past ten days, out of whieh every per--son ought to be able to select something' agreeable to himself. To-day is Just splendid. His a magnificent spring day, cloudless, warm, a deep purple blush pet--vading the air which is-resonant with thesongs and twitter of sparrows, blue birds’ and robins. It is happiness to live and* move amid such conditions.
