The Government Auditor. of Railroad Accounts reports that dufing the past ten months 2,900 miles of new railroad were constructed, of which 2,000-miles were west of the Mississippi. From tif report of the Saperintendent of the Life-Saving Service, it appears that during the present year there were 217 marine disas-. ters, the greatest number yet known to have occurred in one year. It is stated that St. Louis merchants and capitalists will subscribe $1,000,000 to carry out ‘he proposition to make Fort Royal, South Carolina, a great exporting and importing point for the West and South; et The Chicago six days bicycle race was concluded Saturday night at 11 o'clock, the score standing: Englishmen—Cann, 855; Stanton 810; total, 1,665. American—Haxrison, 858 ; Rutland, 800 ; total 1,658.— So the Englishman won, in spite of the hundred mile handicap. The members of Congress arrived in Washington in very large nambers . throughout Saturday,and there was no doubt that more than a quorum would be in attendance on Monday. Representatives Davis; Page, Pacheco and Berry of California and Whiteaker of Oregon’ have arrived. Senators‘Booth and Farley were expected Sunday. Last Thursday the following item appeared in the local columns of the Watsonville Transcript: “Dave Bothwell and Mrs. Denis Hagerty ran a go-as-you-please race the other day. Dave won in 3 minutes and 7 seconds, but Mrs. Hagerty’s club was close in his wake when he climbed into a hay-loft.” Next day Bothwell armed himself with an empty shot-gun and hunted all over town for Wheeler without finding him, At the examination of applicants for teachers’ certificates betore the City Examining Board of ‘San Francisco, Friday, Miss Pique, one of the female applicants, was discovered copying answers to questions from one of her linen cuffs. She had the answers to questions in werd analysis and algebra, She refused tastate where she got herinside information, but it was subsequently ascertained that she obtained it from a man from Sacramento, who is said to have got the questions from the State Board, The examination was postponed and a new set of questions framed. A Salt Lake telegram says: The Grand Jury from which so much was expected by the Government, have closed their labors after finding buf five indictments against the polygamists. In their report they recommend an ameudment of the Jury law, and say they are astounded at the perjury of the Mormous. In many instances mothers testified that their daughters were not in polygamy, when several children had been born to them in that relation. When asked who were the fathers they would answer that they had none, thus making strumpets of their daughters and bastards of the children to shield the polygamists. The Chico Enterprise says Ferdinand Gaudet, a native of Canada, died at Mrs. Shuster’s under the most painful circumstances, on the 22d instant. He had been employed as a blacksmith in some of the lumber mills during the summer but had been obliged to stop on account of an attack of ague. He attempted to doctor himself, and purchased a box of some anti-bilious ills, The fi:st dose taken was five, ollowed in a short time by five more, as they seemed to have no power. As these two doses failed the unfortunate man for the third dose swallowed the whole lot in the box, sicians, but he was then beyond human aid, and in few hours was dead. He grew rapidly worse and was obliged to then callin the services of ply Const News.

A Salt Lake telegram says: The Grand Jury from which so much was expected by the Government, have closed their labors after finding buf five indictments against the polygamists. In their report they recommend an ameudment of the Jury law, and say they are astounded at the perjury of the Mormous. In many instances mothers testified that their daughters were not in polygamy, when several children had been born to them in that relation. When asked who were the fathers they would answer that they had none, thus making strumpets of their daughters and bastards of the children to shield the polygamists. The Chico Enterprise says Ferdinand Gaudet, a native of Canada, died at Mrs. Shuster’s under the most painful circumstances, on the 22d instant. He had been employed as a blacksmith in some of the lumber mills during the summer but had been obliged to stop on account of an attack of ague.
