Narrow Gauge Honds. “Now that our people ai the subject_of a railroad to connect us withthe. Central Pacific, any informa“tion in reference to narrow gauge roads will be interesting “The ‘Stockton Republican, speaking of @ levier by E. N. Robinson’on ‘these roads, says: Last September,in company with L. Barrozo, the Government Engineer of Peru,Robinson visited the narrow gauge railroad in North Wales, rnuning from Portmadoc to Festinoig, a distance of thirteen and. ao. half miles. One end of this road has an altitude of 700 feet above the other, and the sverage grade is . one foot in ninety-two, the heaviest grade being sixty-five feet to the mile, and this occurs in curves as sharp as 360 feet radius. From. the nature of the country the road is forced into a variety of curves, and some of these curves have a radius of 140 feet, and are from 200 to 400 feet long. Over such curves and up such a grade the engines used on our ordinary broad gauge roads would starcely be enabled to travel, much less draw alead, yet over this road of one foot eleven and a half inches gauge, an engine weighing but nineteen and a half tons draws with ease a train of sixteen cars weighing alvgether one hundred and fifty tons. This is three times as much asa sixty ton engine can draw over the Mount Diablo Range on the Western Pacific Road.— Over this nurrow gauge road engines weighing but eight tons draw long passenger trains at a rate of speed reaching thirty and, if necessary,thictyfive miles per hour. The engines have. four drivers ef-two feet in diameter each. While traveling at the rate of thirty-two miles per hour, Robinson writes, everything worked steadjly and with evety assurance of safety, The nineteen and # half won eagine has hauled 180. tons of freight from the lower to the upper end of the road,making. the . distance—13} miles—ia 65 minutes, including two stoppages. It is safe to say there are no two engines’ on the Central Pacific capable of drawing that wamber of tons over a similur grade withid any given time, from one hour to one week. ‘The engineers. concur fn the opinion that a-tw> aod a half foot gauge is the cheapest and the beat road, and can be built with iron weighing from 30 to 48 pounds to the yard, The difference in cost of con struction between the parrow and broad gauge road, is from 33 to 50 per cent. in favor of the former. In a country like ours, where a railroad always runs fromthe valleys inté and over the . mountains, we believe it'is only a question of time when oiir manner of constructing railroads will be entirely changed, and.there can be scarcely a “doubt but that the narrow gauge road will generally. supercede the broad track now 1n use. Tue Caicken Busingss.—If a man had « well conducted chicken ranch in theese days, says the Antioch Ledger, he could make money, Eggs are high and will be higher before the Winter is over; and chickens. and ducks will have & good marketable value about _ holiday time—in fact, they find sale at fair prices at any time. A few acres of land, with four or fiye hundred dollars, can be.made to-yield a good income, more than if put to any other use, and we cannot understand why it is that farmers do uot’ pay any more attention to this profitable business. A dozen of eggsare worth more than a bushel of wheat in the Western States, and “can. be procured at less trouble and risk. Care aad conetant attention are wrequisite, to be sure, to make success certain,-but no more than ia any other business, There are plenty of places which cannot he advantageously used for any other purpose, Rabbits, froge and terrapius. will pay well, to.

It turned out to bea tamé goose, belonging toa farm house near by. It fortunately escaped the murderous dé&igns of the huntsman. An Expensive Lark. Patrick Foley got on a lark last Saturday, stripped himself to tle waist, and went for Mongolian blood: He assaulted two Chinamen, when he was captured by the offiéer and taken to the calaboose. He was yesterday sen tenced by Justice Palmer on two charges of assault amd battery. For the first he was sent up twenty days, and for the second sixty days. Furniture. J. E. Johnston has just received a ready to supply. the demand of this market. He has all sorta, from the finest parlor sets to the cheapest, and those who need furniture, mattrasses, or bedding; should give him a call.

THE Cost.--Phineas ‘Banning, who has given much attention to the work. ing of narrow gauge railroads as a means of developing the interests of the lower patt of the State, says that roads of this-charadter can be: built for $10,000 per. mile.,.Others place the. studied the matter estimate the entire cost of guch a road to Colfax at over $150,000, The estimate for a broad gauge road, figuring the highest price for labor and: gunpowder for blasting, was only $500,000. SHOULDER DisLocaTeED.—Last Saturday,in Penn Valley, says the Grass Valley Union, two sons of William Gilham were riding a {horse, when the horse fell and hurt the boys.

During the same time they cullected 78,459 letters from the street boxes to be forwarded through the mails. This isa fine showingin favor of the delivery system.

Whois to blame is not yet known, but the matter will be worked up. . Narrow Gavuas. Rarways.—The Duke of Sutherland has returned from his inspection of the Norwegian narrow gauge railroads. Upwards of a hundred miles of railway on the 3 feet 6 inches gauge, have been carried out if Norway and have been most successful for the light traffic of that country in their economical construction and the convenience-of their smaller carriages and wagons. The supporters of this system have no doubt that if the North of Scotland could have had the advantage of such a cheap deseription of railways,a much greater extent of the country would ete'héw have’ “been sapplied with railway , accommodation.
