Tho light lasted about an hour and was wit nessed by an immense crowd . A heavy loose skin and fur encase the badger's small body, which makes it diiDcult for the dog to bite it in a vital part.

The question between it and the government, tho report says, aro to bo passed upon and determined by a bodr of men coming from different parts of the country, actuated it may be in some instances by honest prejudice founded upon imperfect knowledge or distorted representation of the facts, or not infre quently by a conviction that some meas ure should be adopted against the corpor ation even at the risk of diminishing its ability to respond. That body of men meets only at intervals and its attention Is generally engrossed with other and more important subjects upon which leg islation is urgently demanded. These and other elements of uncertainty embar rass the movements of tho company and' paralyze its freedom of action. It is a important to the government as to the company, says the report, that all neces sary liberty should be given the man agers of the corporation to develop-the - resources upon which the solvency of th road must depend.

Xext season we look to see Central Wyoming's greatest boom at Bessemer provided the B. & M. strike is ended. Said town would be enjoying a healthy boom this winter had it not been for that strike. When the strike was inaugurated the B . & M. road ceased to make any further extensions until it should be ended. For that reason the Wyoming Central has delayed going to Bessemer uutil next year, not being compelled to forge ahead in order to keep in the lead of the B. & 31 . tho past season. But we firmly believe that both roads will event ually build to Bessemer, and in all proba bility a third road will do likewise. Glenrock, (Wyo.) Graphic. Tho proposition to tap the Dismal river near its mouth and bring its waters through a canal to Broken Bow has been discussed in all its bearings and the plan has been decided to be entirely practic able, and it is only a question of funds to build the canal.

We read somewhere that it is very foolish for farmers to leave corn ex posed to the damaging effects of the ele ments; that enough corn is ruined and wasted to pay for cribs ; that cribs will have to be built sooner or later anyhow and now is the accepted time.

The ment directors of the Union Pacific Rail road company, in their annual report to the secretary of the interior, under date of November 19, 1833, say they have ss suraed as a premise, now beyond the scope of discussion, the necessity of an adjustment between the government and the railroad company for the payment of the funds heretofore advanced as a sub- A farmer living a few miles south of j sid- for building the road. These Curtis, sold himself for a hog a few days moneys will be due, say3 the report, by ago. Inasmuch as the human hog had j the terms of the agreement between the no bristles on his back, it was impossible parties, in a few years, and it is manifest to market him again, and the purchaser tltat the road is not now aud will not bo is therefore the loser. The particulars, j then in a condition to satisfy its obliga as given us, arc these: The farmer came j lion. It is equally manifest that should to Curtis with a load of hogs and sold ' an adjustment not be effected, the goyern them to S. 31'. Craven, having them first j ment will be compelled to take posses weighed at one of our lumber yards, j sion of the road and to operate it, a result When tho hogs were weighed the farmer j so full of dangers, embarrassments and remained on tho load, but after unloading i dilhculties that it should not be allowed to enter into discussion except as a last and unavoidable solution of a problem not otherwise to be solved. The govern ment directors are still of the opinion that it would be better for the United States to lose every dollar of its debt and execute a release to the company than to undertake the duties of a common carrier of goods and passengers, thereby estab lishing a precedent which would surely create mischief far beyond the benefits to be reaped from so hazardous an experi ment. It must be clear too, says tho report, that every year that is allowed to pass without the liquidation and settlement of the debt, increases to a serious extent tho difficulties of the situation. The debtor have the the hogs, and going back to empty wagon weighed, a different person manipulated the scales and the farmer quietly stepped off the wagon, thus mak ing tho load appear to weigh mote than it actually did. It was only when3Ir. Craven sold the hogs to Tj'ra kelson, a few days later, that a shortage of 236 pounds was discovered, causing a loss of $10.88 to Mr. Craven. Nebraska has laws to prevent swine from running at large, and it als has laws to prevent human hogs, of the above description, from prac ticing their games of swindling.
