FPEE SOIL MOTIVATION.
CITY Imnrovenents.

From present indications, we should Judge that
there is to be an unusually large amount OF building
in Worcester during the present and coming seasons.
The notes of preparation are sounded on every
hand, and as the season progresses. we shall wit
ness more realsubsautial improvement in the aspect
of our city, than any previous year has produced
We have space to-day to enumerate but few of the
plans in process of execution.
First, the Providence and Worcester, Norwich and
Worcester, and Nashua and Worcester Rail Road
Corporations will unite in the erection Of spacious
and substantial Freight Depot at the south end of
the city, few rods north of the present junction of
the Providence, Western and Norwich roads, for the
better accommodation and more speedy transit of
freight in all directions, by these various lines d.
verging from the city. second track is to be laid
down upon the common East of the present one, for
the accommodation of the passenger trains of the
Providence road, which are intended to up to
the Centre depot with passengers, instead of depos-
iting them at the present inconyenient location on
Green street. Other Improvements are also eontem-
plated in the present arrangements Of the Centre
depot among which, first Of all, will be the with
drawa Of all freight from that portion of ii occupied
by the Norwich and Worcester Road. Thus the pub
lie will be saved from the serious inconvenience TO
which has long been subjected, of making up the
freight trains for New York so near to such public
thoroughfare where the travel is constantly impeded
by the backing, making up, and separating long
trains of freight cars.
We are also informed that company has pur-
chased the unsightly looking lot upon Foster street,
the cellar walls, upon which have stood so long a
seeming reproach to the enterprise of our citizens
and that elegant four or five story brick block is
to be erected forthwith. The unsightly wooden
buildings upon Main street, between the store Of j.
Grout and the Universalist church, are also to be
torn down the present season. and will give place to
fine row of stores, more in keeping with the gen
era improved appearance Of the street. Add to the
above the erection of the Horticultural Societies el-
+ egant building, which is to be Immediately COM
menced upon Front street, and the completion OF
the magnificent structure of the Medical College
upon Union Hill, and the citizen or stranger will
have presented to his eye, such indications of pro-
gress and prosperity, other interior town can
present in any part of the country We shall recur
to The subject again and speak of still other improve
ments for the accommodation of the rapidly ncTeas
ing business and population of old Worcester.

Aneedote OF a DOG.

friend who has been spending the winter in Hall
fax, N. S., tells us the following anecdote of dog,
which is about the best story of canine sagacy that
have ever heard
Tige is a splendid New foundland, and possesses
good well as good looks He in the habit of
going every morning, with penny in his MOUTH to the
same butchers shop, and purchasing his breakfast
like gentlemanly dog as he is. But it so happened
upon one cold morning, during the past WINTER the shop
was closed, and the necessity seemed to be imposed up
on Tge either to wait for the butchers return or look
for his breakfast elsewhere. Hungerprobaby consran.
ed him to take the latter ALTERNATIVES and off he started
for another butchers shop, to his avorte place
of resort Arriving there, he deposited his money upon
the block land smacked his chops for breakfast as usual
but the butcher, instead of meeting the demand Of his
customer as gentleman ought brushed the coin into
his till, and drove the dog Of theshop. Such dis
graceful proceeding the part of man, very naturally
rnfled the temper of the brute but there was no
other alternative, he was obliged to submit. The next
morning, however, when his master furnished him with
the coin tor the purchase of breakfast as usual the dog
instead Of going the shop here he had been accus-
toned to trade, went Immediately to the shop from
whence he was unceremonousy elected the day be-
fore-laid his penny upon the block and with growl,
as much as to say you don't play any tricks upon
Travellers, placed his paw upon the penny. The butch
er, not liking TO risk, under such demonstrations the
preparation of another fraud Immediately rendered
him the qsad pro, in the shape of slice Of meat and
about to appropriate the penny he had done the
day previous, to his Golfers; but the dog quicker
than he was, made way with the meat at one swal-
low, and seizng the penny again in his mouths made off
the shop Of his honest acquaintance, andby the
purchase Of double breakfast made up for his previous
fast.

! 1NHUMAN ABANDoNoIENT.-Ihe Newcastle
(Ie) Democrat, gives the particulars of the aban-
donment of boats crew of ten passengers, on the
coast CT Mckee, by Capt. Farley Hopkins, of the
ship Powhattan. The circumstances, as stated, are
briefly these: The Powhattan, was bound from St,
Francisco to Panama, and when forty-two days out,
in consequence Of scarcity of provisions, the Cap
tain proposed that volunteer crew should take a
boat and procure provisions from the shore, about
i've miles distant; which proposal was accepted
Shortly after the departure of the boat, however, the
Captain of the Powhattan made sail on the ship,
and abandoned them. They reached the shore in
safety and after tarrying six days with the vain hope
that the ship would return, started for Vera Cruz,
overland, which place they finally reached with the
loss of four of their number, through cold and expo
sure. Two of the men, J. T. Wyman and James
Walker, of Woburn, Mass, have recently visited
Newcastle Me-, to institute legal proceedings against
Capt Hopkins.

Mr.. WEBsTER's ExPosURE-The charges of
Mr.. Allen, the imprudent dcnials of Mr.. Webster
friends, and the lmpudent false testimony of the par
asite Ashmun instead of screening the Secretary from
the censure of the public has resulted in making his
exposure more conspicuous, and his offence more fla
grant series of equivocations, of denias, and Of
half admissions, have finally compelled Mr. Web
sters friends to bring before the public, his letter to
Mr.. Haven, of Boston,
The letter was not needed to sustain Mr. Aliens
charge. That was already established beyond cues
ton Mr. Webster's own friends admit that Mr..
Webster received the alleged contribution of money.
S9o 0o0, and justify the act the plea that it was
buta just equivalent for his Sacrifices in taking Of
ice. They denied, however, that he had suggested
such dotation.
No man, writes Mr.. Webster can accent the Office
OF Secretary of State, and live on its mere salarv-
As to public measures, he says, there is u coalition
OF parties, and 'now is the golden opportunity. -
MIR. w ebster S name was at this very time before the
public, for the office of Secretary. What the "goId
en- opportunity was which he unfolded to his
friends, has since been explained in the legislation of
Congress, on the rich pages of the appropriation bill
IN the lat Jobs and contracts bestowed on SPECTATORS
and brokers.
AS to the sacrifice for which Mr.. Webster was
compensated in taking office, it is mere fiction
Mr. Webster was a member ofthe Senate. receiving
~ per diem, for services which occupied nearly ali
his time, and amounting in the year to about So 900
lie accepted office worth Sc 900 per annum. and
demands compensation for the sacrifice! He en-
deavors to keep the transaction secret, but in At
tempting to bestow favors upon few of his patrons
he is exposed. His friends deny, equivocate. and
finally confess, and the Secretary stands pilloied be-
fore the public.
The National Era, speaking of the affair, before
It's grossest aspect was developed, says:
Suppose the Iron and Coal Interests Of PENNSYLVANIA
should bestow fortune the Secretary ofthe Interior
or the Secretary Of the Treasury on the pretex that
the salary allowed him by law was Insufficient for his
support; would not every feel that he had suffered
himself to be placed under bonds promote those inter
ests' and that natural feeling Of gratitude would nev
aby dispose him to favor them in preference to others?
And what would the North have thought, had Mr. BIZ
chanan previously entering the State Department, re-
ceved purse Of fifty thousand dollars made up BY the
slave owners of the South as reward for his eminent
services, or to enable him to keep the Department Sin
decent trlm! Such transaction would have covered
Mr.. Polk's administration with infinitely more odium
than the Gaphm affair fastened upon the Cabinet Of
General Taylor.
There Is no doubt Of the truth of this language
a democratic administration would have been bro
Rem down by the suspicion Of one tenth of the guilt
mat attaches to the Cabinet of Mr.. Fillmore. Ill
