We know that we test the credulity of our readers whenever we offer any remarks under this heading, principally because of the unreliability of any information that we have as yet been able to attain in reference to the matter. But the information comes directly from General Littlicfield, President of the J. P. &M. R. R., that the road will be completed to the river by September next. Tho iron has been puichased aud is now on tho way. Furthermore, the General assures us that a large number of their bonds have been sold in London at a very flattering figure, aud that the chief condi tion of the sale was that the proceeds were to be deposited in pledge of their faithful and exclusive application. An amount sufficient to construct the bridge over the Chattahoochee river, and to extend the Road one hundred miles beyond, is now on de posit in a New York banking house. This, wc arc sure, will be gratifying intelligence to the people of the State, whose greatest anxiety we thiuk has been on account of the honest employment of the aid extended by the State to the Road. If the bonds have been sold and the Road is to be extended* we are compelled to express ourselves gratified with the prospect, and we don’t think anybody will object to the avrange ment. —Tallahassee Floridian. How Counterfeit Money is Made.-—-A party of men say from three to a dozen, hand together and hold frequent meetings, and act according to a plan laid down. One or two will find out some copper plate printer in the employ of the bank note company in fact, all such printers are known by the party. These men will then manage to meet one of the printers in the evening, get ac quainted, drink and have a good time gen erally with him, and so proceed for a few evenings. Then they offer him 150 to a SIOO to procure a certain kind of impics sion. This impression is made in this wise: The printer will take the impression upon tin foil from the plate from which he is printing, which can be done in a moment. Thus, you see, every line and the size are obtained correctly. From this tin foil an electrotype plate is made. They then get some plate printer that can be found about the city, have a good time with him, engage him at twenty dollars a day to do the print ing. By this P lau thousands of copies are shuck off that defy detection, except ia the quality of Urn paper, which will differ from the'gcnuiuc. —fix.

Korn iz a serial, i am glad ov it. It got its name from Spries„_A, woraau, and in her is s iirStimes^caI -** a^ze » grows in su»t» parfp -- ebcru-fSffßStry very amaiz"^- j oeen it out there 18 fool hi (i don’t the aktual korn itself, but the tree on which it grows.) Korn has cais, but never has but one ear, which is as deaf as a ladder. Injun meal iz made out ov korn, and korn dodgers iz made out ov injun meal, and korn dodgers are the tuffest chunks, ov the bread purswashun known to man. Kom dodgers are made out ov water, with injun meal rnixt into it, and then baked on a hard board, in the presence of a hot fire. When yon can’t drive a 10 penny nail into them, with a sledge hammer, they are eed, hi good judges, to Jae well done, and are ready to be charged upon. They will keep five years in a damp place, and not grow tender, and a dog hit with one of them will yell for a week and then crawl under the barn, and mutter for two days more. I have knawed two hours miself on one side of a corn dodger without producing enny result, and i think i could starve to death twice before i could seduce a korn dodger. They git the name dodger from tho im megiate necessity of dodgeing if one iz hove horizontally at yu in anger. It iz far better tew be smote bi a 5 year old steer, than a korn dodger, that iz only three hours old. Korn was first diskovered by the injuns, but whare they found it i don’t know, and don't know as i care. Whiskee (noble whiskee) is made out of korn, and whibkee is one of the greatest known tew roan. We never should hav bin able tew fill our State prizons with energetick men, and our poor houses with good eaters, if it want for noble whiskee. We never should hav had enny temper ance sons ov society, nor demakratik poli j’ticiaiis, nor prize sites, nor good murders, nor phat aldermen, nor whiskee rings, nor nothing, if it want for blessed whiskee. If it want for korn how could enny bod d} r get korned ? And if it want for getting kerned, what would life be worth? We should all sink down to the level ov the brutes if it want for getting korned. The brutes don't git korned, they haint got enny leason nor soul. We often hear of ‘drunken brutes,’this is a compliment to oxen which don’t belong tew them. Korn also haz kernels, and kernels are often korned, so are brigadier ginerals. Johnny cake is made out of |korn, so iz hasty puddin. Ilasty puddin and milk is quick tew eat. All you got to do iz to gap, and swallo, and that is the last of the puddin. Korn was familiar to antiquity. Joseph waz sent down into Eglpt after sum koin, but his brothers didn't want him to go, so thev took pitty on him and pitted him in a pit. When his brothers got back hum. and were asked whare Joe woz, they did‘t ac« knowledge the korn, but lied sura. It has been proved, that it is wicked to lie bout korn. or anyother vegetables. Thare is this difference between Being and sawing wood, it iz easier to lie espesh ly in tbe shade. Korn has one thing that noboddy else lias got, and that iz a kob. Thiskob runs thru the middle ov the korn, and izaz P l * ull ov korn as Job was of biles- I alwas feel sorry when I think ov Job, and wonder how he managed tew set down in a chair, Knowing how tow sit down, square on a bile, without hurting tue chair, iz one ov the lost arts. Job was a card; he had more paschunce, and biles, tew the square inch than iz usual. Oue hundred and twenty-five akers ov born tew the bushel iz konsidered a good krop, but I have seen more. I have seen koru 6old for 10 cents a bushel, and in some part of tbe western country, it iz so much, that thare aint no good lay against stealing it. In konklusbun, if yu want tew git a suie krop of korn, aud a good price for the krop, feed about 4 quarts ov it tew a shanghi. rooster, then murder the rooster immejiately, aud sail hun for 1* cents a pound, krop aud all.

And Providence has made the richest language poor in tho same respect, because tbe depths of hearts that thrill with love's emotions arc too sacred for the common contemplation. The musi- cal vrace of love stirs the scource of the sweetest thoughts within the human breast aud steals in to the profound recesses of the soul, touching chords which never viber ated before, and calling into gentle com panionship delicious hopes, till then un known. Yes, the light of a young maiden's first love breaks dimly but beautifuly upon her, as the silver lustre of a star glimmers through the thickly woven bowers ; as she feels the primal influence, is faint aud pure as that which a rose leaf might cast upon marble. But how rapidly doe3 that light grow stronger, aud that flush deep er, until the powerful effulgence of the one irradiates every corner of her heart, and the crimson glow of the otherxsuffuses every feature of her countenance. Freaks of Fashion. Ear rings are now made to imitate gold fish balls: Stripes are all the rage in all sorts of gentlemen’s clothing. Opals are said to be the only kind of precious stones that cannot be imitated. Race parasols are tbe prettiest and the costliest that can be carried on promes nade. Ladies' watches are now made in oval case to look like lockets, aud worn on tbe necklace Sane gentlemen aro wearing sleeve-but tons of colored marble, about the size of the top of a ceqtre table. We" have "seen very pretty negligee hats made of white flannel ; band and binding of bright silk ribbon. A whisper from over-sca says Russia leather is going to be a lavorite for dress- Uimming next winter. Tho most fashionable canes are small, aud the natural stick, knobbed and knotted. English blackthorn is the favorite. White and black lace capes are worn with low necked black slik dresses for full everfing dress, and make very stylish, toil ets with the addition of a handsome Ro man sash.

There is nothing new to record in bon nets or hats.

A singular story comes from Washing ton county Kansas. A man named Ham mond was aroused by his wife the other night with the cry thut there were wolves, about the house. JHalf asleep, he grasped his gun and excitedly ran out, and w&nton a keen run for about half a mile before he stopped at the Bight of a wolf. He raised his gun to take aim, when he found that it had been discharged. On returning to the bouse he found his wife a corpse, and"his four children crying about her bleeding body. As the husband rushed out of the door the lock or the trigger of the gun had caught on the jam and was discharged, the contents lodging in the breast of the unfor tunate Woman. Tbe singular part of the affair is that Hammond did not hear the re port’ of the gnn nor feel its concussion. This was his statement, at least, aud the corner’s jury believed him, as he was ac quitted of all blame in the matter. Unlucky Days for Matrimony. —We may possibly be doing a service to some of our readers by informing them (on the authori ty of a manußCiipt of the fifteenth century, quoted from the Book of Days) that there arc just thirty-two days in the year upon which it is unadvisable to go into join-hand —namely: seven in January; three each in February, March, May and December; two each in April, June, July, August, Septem* ber and November; and one in October; so that January is the Worst and October the best month for committing matrimony, the actual unlucky days being these: January Ist, 2d, 4tb, sth, 6th, 10th, 15th; February 6th, 7th, 18th; March Ist, 6th, Bth; April 6th, llth; May sth,. 6th, 7th,; June 7th* 15th;.JAily sth, 18tb; August sth, 19th; September 6th, 7th; October 6th; November 15th, 16tb, and December 15th, J6tb, 17th.

Tbe records of his life do do not show want, beggary, or starvation urging him, hut a simple desire to stem greater than he was. By one of the artists employed (and there Were several engaged in different parts of the notes) the discovery waa made.
