A VEBY MIRACJ.K.—A gentleman who. for threo years pa»t,had lecn afflicted with dyspepsia, yesterday stated that ho had been entirely cured by the use of Hurley's Sarsa parilla. He had previously tried Mull's and Band's, but Hurley's was the only effectual remedy. Go to Bacon, Hyde, »fc Co., 37 Main street, and procure a trial bottle.—(St. Louis Evening Mirror.

Bail Road Connection Between the East and the West. 4$ The Chicago Times of the 12th inst. contains an article on the subject of Rail Road connection between the East and the West, and attempts to show that the travel muBt take Chicago in the way to St Louis, for the sole reason that any other rgute will involve frequent changes of cars and roads Now what is to hinder the consolidation of all these short roads in Pennsylvania and Ohio, we are unable to perceive, and if once made the interest of the owners of those roads, we doubt not it would be done.

A single glance at tho map of the country will show the route by Chicago, from N. York, Philadelphia and Baltimore to St. Louis, to be the very longest that could be reasonably suggested. A few tables of distances which we find in the Chronick published at Decatur Illinois, will show the difference be tween the several feasible routes propo-

TOLEDO AND DECATUR ROUTE.

Terre*Hante Journal and the ConSi vention of the 13th. The Journal comes down, like a thousand of brick, upon the convention of the 13th, and Mr. Wilson's speech which was delivered before the same. With but two objections, we fully concur in the pith of the Journal's article. 1st. We do object to calling that convention a convention of tho American Party proper because it was evident from the first move they made, that they met for some other purpose than the true cause, in which they were supposed to be engaged. Then, they are not Entitled to tho honor of the name, any more than a traitor when found in the ranks of the enemy, is to the protection of his original officers. 2d. You accuse Messrs. Burnett and Hitchcock, of being mum on tlmt occasion,and quietly submitting to the acts of said convention, when, in fact, neither one participated, in any shape or form. They saw what kind of a crowd had assembled, and, sensible men like, kept a good dista ce from the bull-pen—being neith et on thefcncc, or iu the forum. Take these planks out of your Platform, and we'll stand 011 it with you.

There is another thing—dontbe quite so bitterly opposed to the Know Nothings—they are human, in mind and body, and doubly so in design a,y\6.principle, and when we say, come, boys, we have our enemy before us—Ave must put to flight the allied forces of Greely and Hale, you Old Liiiers will walk up to the rack, and stand shoulder to shotilder with these very Know Nothings, you so delight in abusing now.

These tables clearly show that the shortest aud most feasible route at present,is via Indianapolis and Terre Haute, or by way of Indianapolis and the air line to Decatur Ills., there being but 10 miles differance if any. It is sheer nonsence to talk^of people going 13Pjto 150 miles out of their way merely for the sake of paying toll to Chicago. Let our Rail Road men of Indiana and Southern Ohio, consider the advantages of close connection between the various roads in these two States and the work will be achioved at once. This will form the route between New York and the pacific, if such a route ever exists, and all the advantages are now in favor of these roads ^already completed. Both the southern roads pass through the most fertile and populous portions of Indiana and Illinois which render the business of the road immense. This is a stupendous enterprise, but not beyond the achievement of American enterprise.

ANOTHER.—When we worked for Bolton & Livingston, in the old Democrat office, at Indianapolis, in 1837, we were often amused by the ridiculous mistakes of Mr. Bolton. Now, Natty was a queer sort of a man, any way ou might take liijn,. though a good earted fellow. One night, in January, Bolton and George Patterson, tho foreman, made abet which would be at the office first on the next morning, as there was a large lot of proof to read before breakfast They slept together, in the editor's room over the post office, half a square from the office. In the morning Bolton waked up first, jumped out of bed, pulled on his boots the first thing, gathered his cap and started for the office, with boots, drawers, shirt and cap on-raP told. Patterson waked up while Bolton wis dressing, saw how he was manuvering, and concluded to let him win the bet for the sake of the joke. The morning was very cold, yet he actually sit in the office reading proof until the breakfast bells had rung, before he found out his mistake, and this wis only done by attempting to run his hand in his pocket to get his penknife. Bolton forgive the bet to have his clothes brought to him

Queer Absence of Kind. One day last week, says the Niagara Falls Gazette, as the night express train from Rochester arriveathere, the brakeman discovered a child, about two years old, lying asleep on one of the seats. The child was taken care of by the conductor, Capt. Dan Bromley, until the father arrived from the Suspension Bridge. It appeared that the of every description, with .promptness and father of the child, when the train ar-

Thus he would continue for hours, when, all at once, he would wake up, as from a dream, and discover his mistake by "gaping and stretching" which, invariably resulted in throwing his hat from his head. A broad grin would convulse his "wrinkled front" and he would gather his hat and leave the office.
