Every effort was made to discover thelineves, but without avail. . Some time ago detectives were em ployed to " work up" the business, but they, too, failed. Last night Mr. Congdon de termined to sleep in his bar-room feeling sure that if the thieves came he would aroused. He was. not disturbed, but all , the paper money in the till, except a fifteen cent note, was gone. Then a search was made,and iii a snug corner was found about a peek of fragments of notes, from five cents up to five dollars, which had been made into a comfort able nest for a family of mice. A very small crack in the money-drawer had admitted 'the little thieves, who have thus been for years feathering their nest with. United States cur rency, amounting in the aggregate to several hundred dollars. All the notes have been torn into small bits, so as to make the bed as downy as possible for the luxurious little animals. The specimens, filling a small cigar box, which have been shown to us, look utterly irredeemable. But Mr. Congdon does not grieve over this, and intends to keep the whole pile as a curiosiiy.

The Road starts at one of the most nourishing cities on the Northern Misstssippi river, and runs In a North westerly direction up the great rich Cedar Valley, con necting et prominent point.' along the line with six dif ferent Railroads, now in active operation, nearly all of which must be, more or less, tributary or feeders to this Road. This enterprise Is destined to become, to connection with others now in operation or being constructed, one of the great trunk lines from Lake Superior, via St. Paul; Cedar Rapids and Burlington, to. St: Louis, and to the Haat. over the Toledo, Peoria, and Warsaw, and the Pennsylvania Itiilroads. which we present. But aside from this, the populous condition of the country along the line of this road, its great proluctive neell and wealth, give stalcient guaranty .of a good local business, which, for any road, is the best reliance for success. A good index of the prosperity and wealth of the country through which this road passes may be found in the fact that the Company r ep or t °sera mil lion and a quarter dollars subscribed and expended .by Indlsid ' uals• sodding' along the line in Dashing on one hundred awl sixty miles of the work, and It aleo a strong proof of the local (mobility and none:wit for the road.
