WATER POWER OF MAG
ARA FALLS.

Mr. Allen, an engineer. has an ar
ticle in Silliman's Journal, in which
he thus estimates the hydraulic pow
er of Niagara Falls:
The volume of the river dischar-
ged from Lake Erie is estimated
equal TO 373 900 cubic feet of water
per second, which he states is equal
to 20 ,44O, 900 cubic feet, or 167, $685.
43O gallons, or 791,26O tons, or
1 400, 500, 900 pounds ofwater flow
ing out of the Lake every minute.
To showt the amount ofmachinery
this would move, he makes the
following statement:
"Mr Baines, of England, in 1885,
estimates the total quantity of motive
power then at work in all the cotton
mills in Great Britain, as equal TO a
horse power of $4,000; the whole
motive power employed in the wool
en-, flax, and other manufactures, as
equal to 100000 horses; and the
whole motive power employed i'll
mining, in propelling boats, &C., as
equal 10 $4,000 horses. Thus Mr.
Baines made the entire motive pow
er employed in all these ways in 1885
in Great Britain, equal to $4,000
horses.
"Since 1885, this aggregate of NOV
ing power is supposed to have in
creased about 20 per cent or say sc,
600 horse power, making the entire
aggregate ofmolive power now III use
in Great Britain, in all the manufac-
lures of cotton, wool, flax, &c.in min
ing &c. equal to $4,000 horse-pow-
er. But all this power, the working
of which produces so waste proper
ton of the wealth of Great Britain,
amounts to no more than one-nine
teenth Of the motive power Of the
Niagara Falls.

A MOTHERS GRIEF.
P O E I R Y .

A MOTHER'S GRIEFs
To mark the sufferlngs of the babe
That cannot speak its woe;
TO see the infant tears gush forth,
Yet know not why they flow;
To meet the meek uplifted eye,
That fain would ask relief,
Yet can but tell of agony
This is mothers grief
Through dreary days, and darker nights,
To trace the march of death;
To hear the faint and frequent sigh,
The quick and shortened breath;
To watch the last dread strife draw near,
And pray that struggle brief,
Though all is ended with its close,-
This is mothers grief!
To see, In one short hour, decayed
The hope offuture years;
To feel how vain fathers prayers,
How vain mothers tears;
To think the cold grave now must close
Der what was once the chief
Ofall the treasm ed Joys of earth,-
This is a mothers grief
Yet when the first wild throb is past,
OF anguish and despair,
To lift the eye of faith to heaven,
And think, "my child is there;
This best can dry the gushing tears,
This yields the heart relief,
Until the christians pious hope
O'ercomes mothers grief DALE.

your sense of the injustice of such
course. That you did not use the Ian
guage attributed to by Mr.. Cobb, or any
language from which the sentiment
therein conveyed could be honestly de-
rived, feel the fullest confidence. On
tho contrary, understood your object,
in what you said on that poiut, to be to
removc the impression, which the Wing
papers had labored to make, viz. that you
were GA Locofoco in disguise" Of
this, | am sure ;-and had you, in your
effort TO do this, asserted the very charge
you were laboring to disprOce, think
should have remembered such an absurd
ty.
The course Of your argument with
! Mr.. Cobb, must, think be admitted to
have been somewhat zig-zag ;''-for
in following him as you did, and driving
him from the various shifts he made, do
not know how any one could 60 straight.
But see not why Mr. G. should attempt
10 exhibit this to your disadvantage, in
as much as zig-zag course of argument
that this Mr.. St Clair used in converse
ton with MIN was simply and only follow
ing Mr. G. into the crooks and windings
ofhis own positions, and exposing their
absurdities.
Another fact | remember, which in
justice to you, l do not feel at liberty to
withhold viz,-Mr, Cobb admitted, that
the Wing papers had, two years ago,
falsely charged you with having forged
names to call for convention in Chit
tenden County, and said he presumed
they would publish correction of it, if
you would let it alone till after Election.

pany this document, but the certificate of

A clergyman in Middlebury remarked
to me last evening, that he was surpris-
ed when he saw MrCobb's Gard publish
ed. For after the charge it contains,
was first published in Bells paper, and
rumor had fastened the authorship on
Mr. Cobb, he met Mr.. G. and put to him
dire city the question, do you believe Mr.
ST Clair intended to state. or give the
that he was Wing in N. H.
and Democrat in Vt ?-and that Mr..
C's answers were so evasive, as to pro-
duce on his mind, the impression that
Mr. G did not believe it. There are
several other things connected with this
matter to be brought out F.; but the above
is sufficient for the present number.

Mr.. Editor: In your last number,
notice ga Gard, from one.J, Cobb Jr"
which | desire you 10 republish with the
following comments and certificate.
am not sorry you will publish it twice :;
for by so doing, your readers will not on

justice 10 enemies as well as friends, but
by having attention drawn particularly
to this subject, they will see what sort of
opponents have TO encounter, and with
what apparent motives the war is carried
on.
A CARD:
Mr.. Bell Sir--In Justice to myself |
claim small space in your columns in
vindication Of the statement made to you
by me, with regard to conversation be,
tween myself and one Rev. A. St Clair,
who has oflate been endeavorlng to en-
tighten the good people Of Middlebury,
on the subject of Sd party politics. The
article IN question as published in your
paper commenced thus:
Ho,o he woykS ito show what re.
lance is to be placed on St Clair since he
has come 10 town, he has declared that in
Vermont he is a Loco, and in New
Hampshire he is Whig.'
Now the above is true 10 letter, and
must confess was astonishcd when
earned that he denied ever having made
he statement. But must own that not
outstanding the zig gag course of argu-
nent that this Mr.. st Clair used in his
conversation with me-and the unani
nous opinion fall who had ever been
acquainted with him that his word was a
sind of doubtful commodity especially in
hese days of secession and Come ut
SIN, | say Notwithstanding all this did
.,ot suppose that he would deny VIII It he
had said but few days before unless he
has taken up the old adage that all things
are fair in Politics."
could hardly believe my own eyes
when read his denial Of the above state
ment, published in the Green Mountain
Freeman land also the Voice of Freedom,
Mr.. St Clair says that the conversa-
ton lasted some time so that there was
little room for misapprehension." Very
well agree with him on this point, for
when after had charged him with favor
ing the Locofoco party, he replied that
he was Loco in Vermont, but in New
Hamshire he was Wing l enqured
why this change in different states, an.
swered that he always went with the
minority" Now, Mr. Editor, far be it
from me to entertain the least desire to
be drawn into newspaper controversy
with Mr. St Clair, or any other person,
but duty to myself and the public de,
mands when public teacher, minister
of the gospel declares that he is practis-
ing this Characteristic course to accom-.
plish yarty ends, that the public should
be put in possession of the fact.
Yours truly.

where have the Wing party made
stronger professions of abolitionism

Mr. Slade, by way ofreply to the charge
of being ga Locofoco in Disguise" that
in New Hampshire, where the Demo
Gratis are the dominant party, they had
charged you with being FedcraIist,'
but on crossing the Connecticut into

Wings with " being Locoloco" You

Sometime in the summer Of 1910. the
Wings represented to me the state and
standing ofour country, and presented
to me the Wing measures they had In
view i'm order to restore our country
from her lost condition that she was then
in. They presented me their papers
containing the account ofthe large sums
of money expended to furnish the Presi-
dents house, contending that millions oil
dollars were expended unnecessarily, and
that together with some other things,
was the sole cause of the pressure OF The
times, and that the times would never be
any better, unless the government was
changed and that the dernier resort
was, that w. II, Harrison must be cho-
sen President, and the times would be
better Immediately. They requested me
to sign my name to paper that l was
no longer a Loco, but should 60 with
them, and l accordingly did SO, and
they published it in the Wing papers.

One remarkable fact connected with these
doings cannot fail to strike every one--lhe stain

party, and for whatever office, nominated by the
President. He would not vote for any Of the
distinguished gentlemen in the Iist-while under
other Administrations he could vote for Prices
and Swauwouts! The record shows that his
hand has been against Every pariy-his fate will
show that every party has been against him
He will be ou,lawed by all honest parties. like

welded against others
