Dickiusou wus ongoged to lecture boforo the in Newark, last "Wednesday evening, nt tlie opera-house, engagement film fulfilled to the Hatisfuction of all who hear her; but of the manner of her getting to her audience very few even now know.

Let us relate it, us it is rather funny. Miss Dickinson a passenger from this city in tlie 7:10 train, of which O. A. Crane is "the gentlemanly" conductor, intending to alight ut the Market street depot, but for some unexplained reason she was taken to South Uroad street, some distance beyond. "When Mr.

Crime's train stopped at this station he found that the only way lie could get Miss Dickinson over the swamp which lies between tlie tracks and the street fin which -was a horse-cnr, was to take her on his back and wade through the mud and quagmire, in some places knee deep, to dry land. Miss D. saw there was no help for it, and covering her face with her vail to hiile her blushes, put her arms around Mr. neck, which doubtless for him was not an altogether unpleasant operation, and left the rest to fate. AVheii half way through the swamp of dangers, the conductor called lustily to the driver of the horse-car, which "was about to start, to "hold on;" but the Jehu was dull of hearing, and so the louder" the conductor yelled tho more energetically the driver whipped into a run his "jndcd steeds." Stulttenlj- the passengers in the street-car rushed to the rear platform, and believing the man in the swamp was making an effort to kill "some helpless one," translating his cries of "hold on" into those of "bloody murder," caused a suspension of operations on the part of the gentleman who was "steering the cquines" until a res- jue could be made.

Just at this critical juncture the conductor was seen to gradually sink to his waist in the swamp, with tho lovely burden still clinging to Finally, after tho usual confusion, md ordering, and chin imisic generally, Anna was helped to terra firrna and a seat in the horse vehicle uninjured in i)ersou or costume, and subsequently, ivith the assistance of a "block and the unfortunate Crane was con- ilticted to his train, from which he swore lie'il never go ngain for any one, not 3vun for Miss Dickinson. Anna never looked prettier, smiled pweeter, or delivered her thoughts in a more musical tone, than she did last "Wednesday night --and it was noticed that all through tlie lecture her eyes fairly laughed at the recollection of the funny manner in which she was landed in Jfcwark Journal.

Tlie Northern Pacific Railroad Company now has in full operation, with laily trains, 321 miles of road. A distance of nearly 200 miles more is constructed. The Minnesota Section, immediately upon its completion, entered upon a satisfactory business, including local trnilic and the large carrying-trade of the Northwestern British Settlements and the Hudson Bay Company. The recently completed section of sixty-five miles, on the Pacific Coast, at once commands a profitable business between Puget Sound and the Columbia River, heretofore done by coastwise steamers. On the opening of spring, with more thr.n 500 miles of Road in regular operation, the Company mil control the extensive and productive trade of the Upper Missouri, much of Montana and the Northwest.

The earnings of the Road for 1871? will be large. Arrangements for pushing construction vigorously the present year are progressing satisfactorily. Of tlie nearly Ten Million acres of land accruing to tho Company in connection with the portion of Hoad now virtually constructed, some Two Million acres, of excellent average quality, arc ill market and their sale and settlement progressing. The average price thus far realized is S3.C(per ncre--which is nt the rate of more than $100,000 per mile road for the whole grant. The Company has already begun the processof redeeming and canceling its First Mortgage Gold Bonds, as they arc now being received at, 1.10 in payment and exchange for the Company's lauds.

With these accomplished results and most favorable prospects, the Company is now selling its First Mortgage 7-M Bonds for the purpose of completing its line of Road. We recommend thorn as a well secured and unusually piofiluble investment. They h.ivc tlie following elements of strength and safety They are a First Mortgage on tho Road, its Right of Way, Telegraph lines, Equipments and Franchises, and a first lien on its Net Earnings. In addition to this usually sufficient security there is pledged for the payment of principal and interest, a Land Grant of acres per mile of road through the States, mid 25,600 through the Territories. The rate of interest (seven, and three-tenths per cent, gold) is equal now to about Sj currency.
