The Board were highly creditable both to
the pupils themselves and to their instruc-
tor, Mr.. William l. Harris. whose character
as gentleman, and qualifications as a

vance his pupils in the various branches of
their respective studies, and render sat,sfac-
ton to the patrons of the school, the Board
feel satisfied that those who have placed
their sons under his care will be pleased
with the improvement which they will ha We
made at the termination of the Scholastic
year.
In the afternoon the Board met at the
Female Seminary, and were highly enter.
talned with the performances of the Young
Ladies. This department is under the
care OF Professor R. Fl. Nichols and LADY.
The Literary attalnments of this gentle
man, and his long experience in the in
struction of youth in various Seminaries of
learning eminently qualify him for the i'm
portant trust committed 10 him, and the
performance of his pupils furnishes abun-
dant evidence of the attention which he
devotes to them. The Board feel that il is
due to this gentleman TO express their en-
tire confidence in him, and congratulate
themselves and their friends on their good
fortune in securing the services of so ac-
complished gentleman, so thorough a
Scholar, and so competent an instructor at
this earl ly stage of their Institution. There
are 35 pupils in this department, nearly one
half Of whom are receiving instruction on
the Piano Forte from Mrs. Nichols. a La.
dy eminently qualified to instruct in that

grading, masonry, and bridging, completely
is less than 81 2 ,000per mile-a price within the
first estimates OF Mr. Gilbert, We understand
that upon the heavier portions ofthe line be-
tween Bellows Falls ahd Mt. Holly, the work
will be commenced forthwith.
1t will thus be seen that little over eighty
five miles of this road (about three lourths OF
the whole line have been placed under con-
tract on highly favorable ierms-such terms As
show that it will be one the cheapest roads
in N. +. In reference to the remaining dl-
vision of about 81 miles, between brandon
and Mt, Holly, the following resolution was
adopted by the Board Of Directors =
"Reso!rcd, That the Executive Commit
tee be directed to have the line of the road
from Brandon to Mt Holly located and pre-
pared for lettings and that the lettings be adj
vertiscd in season to have the grading com
pleted by the LIST of Jan. 1849,"
1t is expected that the grading masonry
and bridging Of this division wiz be let at
price not fax from $11, 900 per mile.

Terrible Gale at Troy-A0s3 Of
I.iEe.

Troy, Jan. 17-6 P. NJ.
About 1c o'clock on Saturday evening a
sudden and tremendous gale passed through
the lower portion OF Troy, blowing down the
west wall of the Clinton Foundry, situated Il
few rods below the Troy Railroad depot on
the Troy and Greenbush Railroad, sweeping
away some ten or fifteen feet Of the roof of
the building on the west side, killing three OF
the workmen engaged in the establishment
at the time, and badly iojuring several 9TH
erS.
At the time the walls blew down, there were
in all eighteen moulders at work upon the
different floors of the building adjoining the
west wall. The crash occurred almost in
spontaneously; the wind spending its force
with great suddennoss, and permitting the
workmen no opportunity to escape from the
falling bricks and timbers.
1t is almost miraculous that a larger num-
Der were not killed, as all were much expos
ed to danger. The west wall Of the building
was ninety.six feet in length, and some fifty
feet directly in the centre were blown down
John Colieid, aged about p yeals,was taken
out OF the ruins dead and badly mangled,soon
after the accident occurred He had been
married but two or three months, and his
Young wife is nearly distracted in consequence
Of his sudden and untirnely death Michaei
Madigan, boy aged 10 years was horribly
cut and mangled lie survived until this
morning when he died.
John Allen, formerly resident Of West
Troy, aged about 25 years, was found dead IN
the ruins this morning. The following were
severely wounded John Rainey. John Ken
nedy David Cooper JAS Ry2n, Thos. Gillian,
Michael Louth and john Freer.
Strong hopes are entertained for the re-
coyery Of the persons injured Not more than
one Of them (Nennedy) is considered IN a
dangerous state. It is fortunate that the sad
occurrence happened on Saturday evening
when nearly all the workmcn were away ;
otherwise the disaster would have been attend
ed with much larger loss of life. The force
Of the gale must have been tremendous. The
wall which was blown down was one foot III
thickness, and well supported by posts. The
franz wo7l; was considered very strong and
capable Of resisting the force o. any wind
The gale swept in its course some 10 or IL
feet OF the roof from the r r. Depot, short
distance above, carrying it over the r. r
track several rods The loss to Messrs. John
con ana Cox, the proprietors Of the foundry,

there is more than one animal, it is the never

The New YORK ILLUSTRATED MAGA-

Made up as they are, Of the paid contributors
of Il few really good writers, and the sent-

they have no character and cannot be expect

are satisfied, and if the stories are "pretty,"
the public are pleased.
We look upon the Illustrated Magazine as
Il great advance over all its three dollar COM

no doubt have a wide circulation if it meets
