few Of the survivors could be otherwise, or

and ninety feet deep. To complete his di-

there. The electors met at nine o'clock and
the poll closed at five; and as the number Of
votes polled was SEVEN it may well be sup

with all its loneliness the Ncwcomb Farm is
well worth visiting, if for no other purpose
than to visit the panorama Of mountains which
it commands. On every side but one, may
they be seen fading away to mingle their

THE SONG OF TOLL.
RY AIrI.IrSl,INE nIrliANNE.

Let him who will, rehearse the song
Ofg2nte love and bright romance
Let him who will with tripping tongue,
Lead cleaning thoughts to Fancy's dance;
But let me strike mine iron harp
As northern harps were struck OF old
And let its music, stern and sharp,
Arouse the free and bold!
My hands that iron harp shall sweep,
Till from each stroke new strains recoil.
And forth the sounding echoes leap,
To join the arousng Song Of Toll:
Til men Of thot their thoughts outspcak,
And thoughts awake in kindred mind
And stirring words shall arm the weak,
And letters cease to bind
And crashing, soon, DER soul and sense
That glorious harp, whose iron strings
Are Labor's mighty instruments,
Shall shake the thrones Of mortal kings:
And ring Of axe, and anvil note,
And rush Of plough through yielding soil,
And labomng engines vocal throat,
Shall swell the Song Of Toll!

Lightly, lightly, tread lightly,
Where the 'yew branches waves
And speak thou sorrowfully,
For, ah! this is the grave.
Here sweet beauty reposes,
In deep silence laid lowj
Now all fed are the roses,
From the fair cheek and brow.
Here rests the maiden so mild,
In Deaths cruel keeping;
And the good old man,-ihe child,
Side by side are sleeping.
Here lies the ambitious youth,
A prey to the crawling worm;
Nipp'd while in tender growth,
And thus robb'd of his bloom.
The son of FAME, too, lies here,
WRAPPED in his PALE swowd;
Made to leave the earth, tho dear,
And dwell among the dead.
Lightly, lightly, tread lightly,
Where the 'yew branches wayo
And speak thou somowlulv,
For, all! this is the grave.

at the time, than anything had ever before

picture which the minstrel, the freight, and
the rude cabin presented.

The Boston and Ogdensburgh
Railroad.

We now propose to name some ofthe adj
vantages which the route thro' this place to
Ogdcnsburgh has over either Of the routes in
contemplation. In the first place. as we have
already remarked, this is the shortest, best and
cheapest route 1t is at least 40 miles shorter
than the Plattsburgh route and nerly seventy
miles shorter than the Rouse Point route,
which, at the least calculation, must be asa.-
ing to the stockholders Of about $800.o.0
Another advantage Is the excellent harlorS
which this place and basin harbor afford for
thc establishing Of a Ferry. In fact there
are no better harbors on the lake.
The easy grades which this route possess
is highly favorable to its success, From Yer
gennes to Basin Harbor, a distance Of onlv6
miles, the countryis uncommonly level, From
this place the route already surveyed from
Port Kent to Ogdensburgh can be reached
Cat Clintonville) by an easy passage, at only
81 miles. The balance of the route to Og
densburgh, all interested in this route arc
well acquainted with.
We will now speak briefly of the most cs-
scntal advantage which this route possesses
and that which gives it vast pre-emincncc
over the other roads, viz the resources Of
the country thro' which it will pass The de-
positcs of ore arc incxhaustible. The estab-
lishmonts for the manufacture Of iron, and
for marketable lumber are vastly numerous
and rapidly increasing. The instant the To-
connective touches cur shore, it almost comes
in contact with an iron establishment;
and as it winds its way through our county
and the borders Of Clinton, up the far-flmod
valley OF Ausable it will pass the thresholds
of hundred torge-fres, and sixty saw-nll5
which manufacture about $4,000 tons Of iron
per annum, and 1920 600 pieces Of lumber
besides rolling mills, nail factories, founder

( GROWTH OF WORCESTER. The valua~
ton recently taken by the assessors Of this
town, discloses fact, for which few, we APP
prehend, were prepared, except those whose
business has made them familiar with the
growth Of the place. 1t is this, that the num-
Der OF ratable polls has increased more tran
p per cent in a single year. In 1916 they
were 1856, and in l847 they were 1903 In
crease 748 The same ratio of increase on
the whole population would amount to sone-
thing like twenty-five hundred. The ratio,
however, would not hold good, because more
than the usual proportion Of those who come
into town are unmarried men, or newly mar
ried couples who have not much family
After making all proper allowances, the in
crease of population for the year could not
have been less than 1900, with a prospect
that the increase the present year will be
equally great. Our population at the pres
ent time is over 1900, and we think that the
census of 1850 will show greater per cent
increase, since 1910, than any other town Of
similar size in the State.--JIaSs Spy.
RAIL ROAD TO GALENA. WIN. B. OGDEN,
President of the Galena and Chicago Union
Rail Road Company, is now taking active
measures to get subscriptions for a Railroad
from Galena to Chicago, 100 miles Measures
are being taken to connect Chicago with New
Buffalo by Railroad and New Buffalo in one
year or so will have a Railroad with heavy
rail to Detroit. Railroads are makingin Cana
da from near Detroit, so that Detroit will
readily connect with Buffalo When the heavy
rail shall be laid down from the Hudson
River to Buffalo, traveller may go from
Troy or Albany to Galena on tie Mississippi
in so or SO hours. A journey to Chicago will
occupy two days The Railroad from Chicago
to Galena will be through a rich and fertile
country and will bring incredible quantities
of lead, wheat beef, wool and other articles
to our markets The cost of the line from
Galena to Chicago is estimated at 1858, 900.
The total income of the road yearly is set
down at $393,000. If these estimates Of the
engineer are correct, this road may be count
ed on as permanent 10 or per cent stock,
We have no doubt the road will form great
from the valley of the Missis-
sippi and open great country of immense
productive capacity. We shall soon hail Chi
eago and Galena as our neighbors.-Budgct.
