Srmsorm.o, ill., January 91.. HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES, Tlio Committee ou Agriculture In the House reported Imek the hill to amend the lencc law, and asked that It be laid ou the table and the committee discharged from its further consideration. The reasons stated arc thot the Common Law, the law regulating division fences and the township law were ample without further legislation. Considering that the Supreme Court Imvt: by their decision made a nullity of the Com* mon Law, that the law relating to division tcnccs is only adapted to a timbered country, where the Virginia worm fence prevails, and that tho township law in this regard is rather loose, the readers of the Tuuiunc may be allowed to express a lit tle surprise at this summary disposi tion of tho subject, and would nat urally ask why tt.c Common Law at least should not have been atllrmcd, If there was no need of a well defined statute on tho subject. It Is probable that the friends ol this very important measure may ugyin bring it forward. Itis a muoli*touded lelbrni at this particular time, when the cost ofu rod of leuee is, in most eases, over one dollar* As the law now stands It u directly allowing the man who owns stock, to pas ture the lands of his neighbor, unless that neighbor at great expense fences them out. it la reasonable to ask that persons who wish to pasture the outlyiug prairie, should put their stock In the hands of hoidsmen, so that they do not forage on tho crops of the grain-growing farmer. ENTOMOLOGIST AND ORNITHOLOGIST. A bill for tbo former passed tho House .-oniii days since, but bus not beeu acted upou by the Senate. Another bill is before the latter body providing lot both in the same bill, and approbating two thousand dollars tu each for two years. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. A bill was ordered to be engrossed, tUU morning, to amend the law In regard, to that subject- It appropriates ten thousand dol lars a year lor two years, in addition to the present appropriation, to pr.sh forward the work. It also repeals that clause La the law of 1857 providing that the survey shill begin nl the south part of the State and progress north. The bill contemplates a completion of the survey in two years. It also provides for the publication of 3,000 copies of the third volume of the Reports. The people in the mlddlo and northern part of the State may now indulge the hope of having some little attcutlon paid to an examination of their mineral resources. At present the great coal Helds of the State are nut well defined, nor have the stone quarries of the northern prairies been examined. I'bc farmers are directly interested in this survey, and if this bill posses, of which there is no doubt, they may soon bo gratified to know whether tbelr farms contalu other than agricultural values. A LONGER SESSION uud amendment of the Constitution arc so apparent that it Is to be hoped that both u ill be provided lor. Until these changes are made, the cultivators of the soil may have little hope that their more direct inter ests will be attended to. All ol their wants can be reached by general laws, bot these require time for careful consideration, that they may be just an equitable to all parts of llie’State and to each department of rural in dustry. It is, therefore, almost Impossible that in a forty-day scramble of local measures, these interests can hope for more than ou'occasional crumb to fall to tbelr lot. There is a disposition on the part of practical farmers, members of the House, at least to t&ko some Immediate measures lu the premises. The State has outgrown its pioneer condition, and must be put upon a condition that la demanded by Us rapid development. The laws in relation to surveys, township organization, trespass, fining, drainage, Ac., did very well for a new country but sparsely settled, but compact settlements need a more concise &ud specific standard. Rural. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. The Charts and Profit* of Railroad Corporation* Chicago* Janaary 90. To the Editor of the Chicago Tribune t As the subject relative to our public thor oughfares of freight and travel has been opened by General Blrncy, presenting a Dumber of Items worthy ot consideration, and caieftil investigation, and, as it is a sub ject In which so many o! us are Interested, It Is one of great Importance to all. Without opening the iourn&ls and ledgers of the many railroad and trans portation companies in this country, which arc rapidly growing Into a monopoly, or employing the visionary organa of a spir itual medium to reveal their secrets, I pro pose to look at facts as presented in every day public business transactions. It has long since been demonstrated, to the entire satisfaction of business men, that steam power is much cheaper than horse power !u all cases where a steady power is icqulrcd, and where the circumstances of tuC case admit of its application. Great efforts arc now making all over the land to suosti tutc steam for horse power. The power of steam is mighty, its rolling wheels too care less, its breath too frightful, and Its voice too terrible, to travel the streets of our crowded cities. Therefore, horse power must be used. Notwithstanding the ex pense of this power, passengers arc car ried in the horso cars, the average cost of which 1 will not attempt to give, but will say that one of the longest horse car roads in this country is one of the best pay ing roads. The Third Avenue Railroad In New York Is nine miles long, and for the small sum of seven cents thousands of people ride the entire distance, while for children tlie fare Is only three cents. The Sixth and Tenth Avenue Roads, not quite as loog, charge only dvucenU. It will bo said that many ot these passengers only go half that distance, or Ives than that, aod pay the same amount, which Is true. Id the forepart and ulicrpartof he day the cars are crowded with through passengers ; aud yet the av erage price Is much less than tbat which the stcum care arc charging. All horse cars in this country are valuable and paying institu tions, almost from the day or their com pletion. Do our Americans make an Invest ment and laid ou to It, if it does not pay? Look over the columns of the New York ifooW, or Chicago Tuiucnb, and do you eve their stock In the market? Not at Ml. Tnc reason is obvious. It is futile to approach this question from a tuoial standpoint. In that direction their batteries are strong and their fortification* are Impregnable. But they are keenly sen aitlve to Items of profit and loss, receipts and expenditures. An Individual bank ac* count is estimated by the amoant of busi ness that he Is able to do, and not by the percentage he Is able to charge. It Is a fhet 100 well known by some persona that, very many failures In business have been caused by adopting the high price system. The net profits of any business which admllsofpwM ure and expansion depend upon the amount of business which can be done. Twenty-five years ago the Government charged twenty cents for each letter earned through the mails; even this high rate of postage made the postal system an expense to tbe Govern ment ; at ten cents each letter, It paid some better; and still an improvement on that when It was reduced to five cents; and now for oo’v three cents each, letters are carried and delivered In all of the large cities. The cheap rale of postage Has so greatly in* creased the business and Income of the Post Office Department, that the Government is able to employ hundreds of men to deliver these letters to whomever they may he directed. The freight and passenger business is one that admits of pressure and expansion. It requires good financiering, and good and re sponsible managers. Every employe, in any manner connected with the railroad, should be as true as steel. Possessed of these, the business of the road can be increased to an almost unlimited extent, without increasing the expenses of doing that business in any thing like the ratio of Us receipts. I believe there is no double-track railroad in the United States worked to its full capacity. .Let us look a little farther. In 1860, and bejore that lime, coal was delivered to faml lies InNew York City, in their cellars, fur feur dollars per ton. This same coal was carried by railroad a distance of two ban tired and forty miles. Now let us figure a little. Say one dollar per ton for mining and putting the coal on board of the cars, u Is then dumped at Ellzabethport, N. J., after ‘ being carried about 240 miles. Some of tbe mines are a little nearer and some still farther away than this. This port, bear in mind, is ten miles from the city of New York. The coal is there loaded into barges and towed up to New Yoik. From there, at an expense of fifty cents per ton, it is carted to the coal yards. There it is screened and loaded again into carts and delivered to tbe consumer, which cosls-flfty cent sperton more, the whole footing up: Coal at the mines, fI; barging, 25 cents; carting to the yard, 50 cents; carting from yard to cellar, 50 cents; now allow the dealer in New York 50 cents. There are also other items, such as. screening, waste and auctioneers* commission at Elizabeth, and, if wc call these items only five cents per ton, tbe whole sum is $2.60 per ton. Wc have now one dollar and twenty cents remaining to pay the freight on a ton of coal for 240 miles, which is five mills per mile. If wc add to these figures fifty per cent, wc shall have about the present rates of freight and ex pense. One thing more. The coal trains re turn to the mines empty, so that they pass over the road twice for one iond of freight. The expense to the company of re turning this empta train of cars to the mines is a little less than Ifloadcd. Now, can ony philosopher, mathematician, or stevedore, tell ns how much more H costs the railroad company, or how much mnro time is re quired to load half o dozen passenger cars, than is required to load the same number of freight cars. These same railroad compa nies are rich and prosperous, and have been doing business for many years, not for fuu, ; but fur moucy. i It is plain to all that, if time is an object, the balance Is In favor of passenger trains. First, they can be 'oaded in nnc-tonth of (he time required for loading tbe same number of freight curs. Second, Ihrco times os nmnv trains may lie run over tbe road. In a given time. The cost of stocking the road with passenger cars is much greater, of course, than with the same num ber of freight cars. But this is not a dally expense. The difference In the expense of the passenger cars is made up very soon. There are, also, other expenses connected with punning a passenger train to which a freight train is not subject. Ifwc proceed with our estimates In regard to the costs of carrying passengers per mile, wo must come to something mar the following conclusion : Wo have shown that the cost of transport ing a ton of heavy freight is three-fourths of a penny per mile. This includes *be fifty per cent added for present rates. Wo have also shown that the cost of loading passenger trains Is almost nothing. Wo can easily load ten passenger ears, in less tiuo oud less ex pense, than one freight car. Supposo that wc estimate each passenger, with bag. gngc, to weigh 250 pounds. At that rate eluht passengers will weigh one ton. The above estimates show that tho expense of cmrylng these eight passengers Is three fourths of a penny per mile. Call It eight mills—just one mill per mile fnrcach passenger. This, bear In mind, Is the rate now charged for heavy freight. Now let us give them In tho passenger busl ness Jive hundred jtrr cent profit. They will then receive (he round sum of five mills per mile for each passenger. This may appear like rather bold figuring. But I hope that I shall nut prejudice tbe mind of any Indl vldunl against (ho railroad companies, as they arc one with us In society, vitalizing commerce, civilizing the savage, equalizing properly, and furnishing tho most rapid and comfortable mode of conveyance which we eon have. Now, let every farmer In tho State of Illi nois, every merchant In the city of Chicago, every mechanic who shoves the- block' or swings tho hammer, every man who drives a cart or wheels a borrow, every hackmnn who drives a carriage, every tailor who sboves a goose, every butcher who kills an ox,* every man who tons a hide, every banker who boards his money, every landlord who sets a table, and every railroad company in Chica go, estimate, If it is possible,, the increased number of persons who would crowd the streets of Chicago dally, or the number of persons who would tceekly visit the city, in stead of yearly,- If this cheap rate of freight and travel could he adopted. Is there an acre of land, or one foot of ground,, within fifty miles of Chicago, that would not Im mediately be doubled In value ? Do not our railroad companies moke a sad mistake by overlooking this fundamental law of supply and demand ? W. B. 1. Shooting Aflror in a Theatre. [From the Dubuque Times, January 19. J About 7. o'clock Friday evening, just be* fore the opening of the theatre, the actors were startled by the report of a pistol from tbo green room, Id the second story. Rush' lug down stairs they beheld A. B. Kcanodv, the prompter, and Mr. Wo. Kelly, the stage carpenter, locked In deadly struggle, and in Kennedy’s hand was a four-shooter, which Mr. Kelly was turning from himself bypush irg the band that held it upwards. Mr. Plunkett seized tbo pistol, which Kennedy surrendered to him. Mr. Kelly-presented a ghastly appearance. A jagged, acep wound was on his lelt check, his lace was red with blood, one eye was closed, and blood was streaming down over his clothes. OUlcer Brown was summered, and he took Kenne dy awav, and lodged him in the cala boose. X)rs. Uorr and Staples were sent for, and scon after arrived to attend to Kelly’s wound. The quarrel, of which this almost fatal termination is the result, originated last Thursday evening, when a fracas oc curred between Kennedy’s brother and Mr. Kelly, the latter having pnt the former off the stage, in compliance with Mr. Plunkett’s order that none but actors should be allow ed there. Kennedy assisted his brother, and received a black eye for his pains. There the matter was supposed to have ended, oa Mr. Kell v was in the right. Last night Kennedy and Kelly were m the green room with the former’s brother. Kennedy, who was in the chair, remarked that he was prompter of the theatre and that he would allow any person he pleased behind the scenes. .Kelly srld he guessed not, if Mr. Plunkett’s orders were otherwise. Other words passed, and Kennedy, who was very angry, drew a four shooter partly from bis pocket. Kelly saw the motion, and sprang toward Kennedy to lake the pistol iromnim. Kennedy tired, the ball passing through the upper portion of Kellj f fl left cheek, clipping his ear and lodging in the door. Kelly seized Ken nedy, and the latter’s brother then came at him with a billet of wood. Kelly now bad a doable job of it—he was obliged to bold Kennedy, and at the same lime keep the brother off, which he man aged to do by repeated kicks. Kennedy was rather under Kelly in the tusscl, and getting bis band free he again fired, doing no injury, however, the ball lodging In the ceiling. At ibis time the party from the stage made their appearance, as above related. The fracas did not occupy more than a couple of min* utes. The extent of Kelly’s Injuries was not as certained Friday evening. Thepbtol was so close to his face that the powder burned bis eye and dosed it. Mr. Kelly is a quiet man, well known and respected by all. A Tooug Sion Shot for Snowballing a Companion. {From ike St. Joseph (Mo.> Union, January IS.] The Deputy Sheriff of Andrew County ar rived In this city yesterday, baring In custo dy a young man by the name of John Chand- Ict, who had bicn brought here for safe keeping In our county jafl, having been or- on a charge of murder. The circumstances attending the homicide, as deteUed by the Deputy Sheriff, were about tbe-c: A party of young men—all friends and associates —had assembled them selves together In Jackson township, Andrew County, on Tuesday, and for pastime were engaged In snowballing. In the course of the strife Chandler was singled oat as a.spc* dal object for the balls of his companions, and the fan growing too warm for him be was compelled to take shelter behind a tree. A couple of young men started In pursuit, when be drew his revolver and threat ened to shoot them If they approached nearer. This frightened them aod they Mopped, hut another of the crowd, by the came of Alfred M. Davis, ran around the tree and throw another ball at him, npon which Chandler fired. Immediately after vouug Davis clapped his hand upon his breast, saying, “ Joliu. you have killed me,” aud, failing npon his lace, soon expired. The crowd coufd at first hardlv realize what had been done, but as soon as Davis fell they ran to him and found that the ball had cn tered his right brca*t, inflicting a mortal ; wound. Uc was taken to a neighboring house, but attempts to revive him were use less. Chandler watched with him and as sifted in'the attempts to relieve his suffer ings, and afterwards delivered himself Into custody, ■ The Impression prevails, os we are told, tbat Chandler, when he drew his revolver, had no idea of using It. hut fired upon tho Impulse.ot the moment; without aim and without intention of Injury. The exposi tion ‘s more reasonable, since there is no knowledge of any previous 111-feeU’ig be tween the parlies, and the sport they had been engaged in was carried on in entirely good humor. Disastrous Fire at Alton. [From the Alton (ZD.) Telegraph. January S3.] This city was last night visited by another disastrous conflagration. The buildings de stroyed were two lUree-slory houses on Second street, near Plaaa; one oi them own* ed by Mr. T. Biggins, and occupied by Mr. Slip© as a tobacco factory, and the other owned by Mr. A. 6. Smith, and occupied on the first floor by Mr. A. L. Brennan as a bil liard saloon. The second floor of this build ing was known as Liberty Hall, and the third was occupied by Mr. John Battcrton as a paint shop. The fire broke out about midnight, and originated in the tobacco factory, but we have been unable to ascertain in what man ner. The engines were promptly on the ground, but on account of the intense cold, it was some time before they conld com* mcncc playing upon the flames, and such a headway had the fire by that time, that the buildings were soon totally consumed, in spite or all the efforts of citizens and fire men. It is fortunate that the air was perfectly still at the lime, for bad there been any wind the conflagration would have doubtless spread to other buildings Immediately ad joining and in the vicinity. As it was, it was only by great exertions that the fire was prevented trom crossing the altev and com municating to the buildings on Third street. The loss Is very heavy, and partially covered bvpnsuiance. Most ol the parties who suffer ed by the fire were insured with Messrs. Kclicnberger & Dulbee, and we are indebted to the courtesy of these gen tlemen for a statement of the differ ent amounts for which the parties losing bv the fire were insured: A. G- smith, $5,000, as follows: Hartford Fire Insurance Company, $3,500; Home Insurance Companv of New York, SI,OOO. Thomas Biggins, $4,000, as fol lows: Alton Mutual and Savings, $3,000; Springfield M. & F. Insurance Company, sl,oo£ A. L. Brennan, assignee Jno. simp son, Springfield F, & M. Insurance Company, $3,000. Henry Slipe, Metropolitan, $5,000. Mr. Brennan had also an insurance of SOOO with Messrs. Hilt & Murray, in the Home In surance Company of Cincinnati. The New York Canals, State Engineer Uoodsell. of New York, in his annual report Id the General Assembly, on the canals, advocates the enlargement of one tier of locks, and the ultimate use of steam. He estimates the cost as follows: For enlargement of locks on Erie and Oswcco Canals $0,689,050.73 For enlargement of aqueducts and culverts 265.51T.00 For enlargement of bridges 121,211.00 For removing wall benches 1,7ttt,n0.00 For additional feeders 303,i&).UJ For deepening canal one foot 1,0^9,970.00 For land damages ana removals of bQiidiDgß - 409.800.00 For engineering and contingencies... 1.0t.7,651.00 Total.

The reputation of th a Home Journal was due in u great degree to the anftdulty, tact, and versatile literary rowers of Mr. Willis, He was never weary of his task, never at a loss lor suggestive themes, never wauling in skill or adaptation, in curious surprises of expression, or In flowing wealth of origi nal illustration. His devotion to his edito rial duties was like that of a fond mother to htr pet child. The languor of disease seemed to produce no effect on the fertility of his pen. Ills mental energy triumphed over the weakness of his bodily frame, and the dashes of quaint humor, and the utterance ot dainty conceits which constantly en livened the columns o! his journal, were of ten produced In the Intervals of pain, or dictated amidst the pangs of lingering ill ness. Even until within u few days of his death, he would not consent to relinquish his grasp of the pen, maintaining the same persistent energy which had kept him Arm ut his post through so many years of hope less Invalidism.
