Cheshire Railroad.

| SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIREC-
TORS OF TIE CHESHIRE RAILROAD Com
PANY, TO THE CORPORATION.
Agrceably to the Bylaws, the Directors
present to the stockholders this, their second
Annual Report of the "condtion and pros
poets of the concern" on the first day of the
current month.
Since our former Annual Report, the ter.
mini of our road, then both uncertain, have
been definitely tXed-the southern, at Ash
burnham, ten miles above Fitchburg, con-
Meeting at that point with the Vermont and
Massachusetts Railroad-the northern, at
Bellows Falls, connecting, on the west side Of
the Connecticut, with the Rutland, and on the
east side with the Sullivan railroad and
through that with the Central and Passump-
sic.
A friendly understanding exists with all
the companies with whose roads we connect,
and it is obviously for the interest of all that
it should be continued and strengthened.
The whole length Of our road is 53 12
miles-1O 1-2 in Massachusetts,, and AZ in New
Hampshire.
The entire road in New Hampshire has
been duly laid out by the Commissioner; and,
with few exceptions, the land damages through
the line satisfactorily settled.
Much has been done towards fencing the
road, since the last report; and all that has
been done is Of durable and substantial char
actcr. Much, however, remains to be done.
To collect the materials, and build more than
100 miles of stone and wooden fence, is found
to be work requiring more time than we
could desire and if in some instances we do
not accommodate individual claims as early
as they could wish, we can only pray their
forbearancc while we are doing all that we
can, assuring such that they are not overlook
ed, and will not long be neglected
The grading and masonry Of the whole
road, both in Massachusetts, and New Hamp-
shire, is under contract; and on the division
below Keene, almost the whole of the ma
sonry, and much of the grading, is complct-
ed
The amount of work done of this doscrip-
ton, on the whole road and by far the larg-
est part of it below Keene, from the begin
ming to the first of May, is
Earth Excavation, 1,6S0,000 yards
Loose Rock, 1854
Solid Rock, 1882
Masonry, 35,155
Contracts have been mado for $1,000 sleep
crs, or cross-tics, many Of which are de-
livered-for the rails and spikes for the en-
tire road, with Horace Gray, Esq-for the
chairs for the LIST division, with Thos, Thatch
or, Esl.-for the passenger, freight,and other
cars, with Messrs Davenport & Bridges--and
for locomotives, with Messrs Hinckley Dru-
ry. We give tine names of the manufacture
ers, as furnishing the best assurance to the
Corporation that the road will be well ironed,
and well furnished as well as substantially
and durably built
A contract has been made with Mes5rs Boo.

Danger Of Premature Burials.


In New Ipswich, N. H., girl about eleven
wears of age, named Clarissa Fox, who had
been for some time in declining health, sud
denly became worse, and died, to all appear
ances. The day following, at about the same
hour in which her dccease took place, FAINT
color was seen to tinge her cheek. This led
to efforts to produce termination. Day after
day passed Every means was used that could
be devised for the purpose-cold baths, warm
baths, friction, blood letting, bllsterlng, &c.-
Food was administered in encmas, as were al
30 medicines calculated to act powerfully up
on the system. But not the least apparent
effect was produced. administration OF life
appeared except in the daily return Of that
faint tinge of color upon the check; and this
regularly appeared at a certain period in ev-
cry day Ny father visited the child on the
t,oenty-ninM day after she went into this state
Her appearance was in every respect that Of
a corpse. OF course there was no decompo-
sition: but there was every other demonstra-
ton of death Several days later-my moth
err thinks four or five, which would extend the
time to the thirty -third or thirty-tourth day
at the usual period of the return OF slight col
or to her check, the girl revived, and was re-
stored to consciousness and speech. The cham
in which she had been so long bound was
broken. But there was not sufficient vlgor
remaining in the system for permanent re-
cowery. Nature was exhausted. She dld not
appear to have been conscious Of the lapse OF
time, or of her late condition, but said she was
very sick and should die---that she was will
ing to die, and then expired

The Governor and Council have ordered
special election for members of Congress in
the 1st and Sd Districts on the Sth Of July
next The law provides that an election to
fill vacancies shall be held within sixty days
after the vote of previous election have been
counted.
As Mr.. Goodwin, the Wing candidate in
the 1st District, declines, we presume con-
vention is to be called to agree upon candi-
date to run in his place, if no arrangements
can be made to concentrate the decided anti
radical maiorities in the two vacant districts.
Messrs Kelley of Exeter, and Christie of Do
ver are both spoken of rs likely to be ncmi-
mated. In this district the candidates will be
the same as at the last trial; and as probably
the Legislature will pass plurality law, to
take effect at the next or succeeding trial
should no choice be made, the abolitionists, it
seems to US, cannot with any consistency,hes-
itate in theird duty to their principles and their
country between Wilson aud Moulton. Ore
of them must be elected, MIR. Preston is,wo
suppose, to remain as now, sin the hands of

| have given names and sources of iniorma-
! ton in the above narration, because the SEEM
ing incredibility of the story demands it,
suppose the event occurred in 1901 or 1902,
as my father l have been told, removed from
the town in 1903. Much earlier than that
my sister would not have been old enough to
recollect the circumstance.
The fact of the great length during which
this girl lay apparently dead, should be a
warning never to yield up subject for bur-
ial so long as the least Indication of life re-
mains, and will stimulate friends to the per-
SeUerjng use ofmeans while such indication eX-
list, however faint The restoration of Rev.
William Tenant to life and health after he
had been apparently dead three or four days,
and his friends had been more than once con-
vened for his funeral, is wcli-known fact
Even his own brother was so convinced that
he was dead, that he became inpatient at
what he thought the folly Of the physician
in his pertinacious attempts to restore animal
ton.
The following account of practice which
to some extent obtains in Germany, may fur
nish useful hints in this country
In order to guard against premature in
tcrments, there is attached to most of the
cometries in Germany, hall where the dead
remain some time before being committed to
the ground. In this hall, the body, neatly
attired, is laid upon a couch-belore the lips
is placed a mirror which the slightest breath
would cloud, and between the fingers string
which on the slightest movement causes bell
in the department of the keeper to ring
This hall is visited night and day, hourly, by
neutrality-suspicious., and it is stated that not
year passes that the bell is not rung by one Of
the supposed corpses'. Similar precautions
should be adopted in every burial place in
America. Indisputablc facts concluSively in
dictate their necessity"

From /" The Spirit of the Times"
Do Dogs Think =?

NcW York, May 4, 1847
FRIEND P.-I read in a late number Of the
" Spirit" an account of four or five hounds
killing a mastiff or a bull dog, wherein your
correspondent expressed his belief that dogs
are endowed with mere instinct, that they do
at times think, reject / am, and have been
for number of years, of the same opinion,
and after relate two incidents, of which there
are now more than fifty witnesses, am much
deceived if you do not believe with us.
In 1884, we had dog Of the Newfoundland
species in our Office Gu. S. Barge Office that
was as the term is, very sagacious. One
morning on opening the office door, " MIN
(for that was his name) accompanied by a
strange dog, was trying to get in one OF the
legs Of the strange dog was broken. When
the door was opened, MIN jumped in, and in
vted the wounded stranger to follow. Our
bargemcn, seeing that he was iliemd Of MIN
set to work and splntered the broken leg
MIN looking on attentively during the opera
ton. All at once MIN was missing, but IN
the course of fifteen or twenty minutes he ap-
peared with his mouthlul of food (Which he
no doubt begged from his boarding house in
the neghborhood,) and placed at the feet of
his lame friend, which they consumed between
them; and every day, until the leg got well
he would bring food for the lame dog, when
both would lie down and eat together. After
a lapse of two Or three weeks we took the
splinters off, the leg pronounced well, and
then MIN sprung upon him and whipped him
off the premises, and he was never seen at the
Barge office afterwards.
About year afterwards, a hen, with alarge
brood of chickens, were picking around the
door of the Office, when a cart came along,
ran over, and killed the hen. MIN was a
witness of the accident; he stood for few mo-
ments looking at the dead hen, and then turn
ed to the surviving chickens, who had sepa-
rated he went to work like shepherd, and
guarded his little flock night and day, until
they were able to take care Of themselves
When the chickens became weary, of which
he seemed to be perfectly sensible, he would
lie down, and with his paws work them under
his long shaggy hair as a hen would gather
them under her wings When his flock be-
came separated from each other, he would ex-
hibit intense anxiety; he would become ner-
vous, so much so that his whole frame would
tremble like leaf AS ever yours,

ny GRACE GREENWOOD,
Light up thy homes, Columbia,
FOR those chivalric men
Who bear to scenes Of warlike strife
Inv conqucring arms again;
Where glorious victory, flash on Hash,
Reveal their stormy way
Resaca's, Palo Altos fields,
The heights Of Monterey
They pile with thousands of thy foes
Buena Vista's plain
Nith maids and wives, at Vera Cruz,
swell high the LIST OF slain!
They paint upon the southern skies
Tie Oln2c Of burning domeS-
Their laurcls dew with blood OF BABES
Light up, light up thy homes
Light up your homes, oh fathers
Tor thJae Young hero bands
whose march, is still thro' yanquished towns,
And over conquered lands!
Whose valor, wild, impetuous,
For all its fiery glow,
Pours onward like lava tide,
And sweeps away the foe
For those whose dead brows glory crowns,
On crimson couche7 sleeping;
And for home faces wan with grief
And fond eyes dim with weeping
And for the soldier, poor, unknown,
Who battled madly brave,
Beneath a stranger soil to share
A shallow, crowded grave
The statesman We have honored long
Is wrestling with despair
Thick shadows from the wing OF death
Are round him every where;
For the crushing Of that mighty heart,
The tears of weary nights,
For the bowling Of that lofty head,
CLEAN out your knocking lights!
Light up thy home young mother
Then gcze in pride and joy
Upon those fair and gentle girls,
That aagia eyed young boy;
And clasp thy darling little one
Yet close to thy breast,
And be thy kisses ON its lips
IN yearning love impressed
In yon beleooured city
Were homes as sweet rs time,
There trembling Jp0thers telt loved arms
In fear around them twinc;
The lad with brow of olive hue,
The babe like lilly fair,
The maiden with her midnight eyes
And wealth Of raven hair.
The booming shot, the murdcrous shell,
Crashed through the crumbiing walls,
And filled with agony and death
Those sacred household halls
Then, bleeding, crushed, and blackened, lay
The sister BY the brother,
And the torn infant gasped and Wrlthcd
On the bosom Of the mother
Oh, sisters if We have no tears
For fearful tales like these,
II the banners of the victors veil
The victims agOnies,
If We lose the babes ana mothers cry
In the noisy roll of drums,
If your hearts with martial pride throD mgr
Light up light up your homes
