NORTHERN PAcuTc RAuRoAD.-The

The Company are required to build
% miles of first class railway and tel
egraph lines; when the same shall
have been accepted by the Commits
sionels appointed by the President,
the interest Of a fixed amount per

vey. The Company is forever prohib-
tied from issuing bonds.
The Company receives aid only rs
the road progresses, in sections of %

A New Custom liOuse.

The deficiency bill, so called, which
passed the Senate last week, included
an appropriation of $4,000 for a Gus
tom House at this place We presume
that the President will sign the bill
and the appropriation then becomes 4
fixed fact. This is the first time that
Congress has ever made an appropria-
ton for any public buildings in this
county, while in other counties in the
State, large sums of money have been
expended 1t is certainly n proper
recognition of our claims. We trust,
however, that it is the design of the
Government to build a Post Office in
connection with a Custom Housc A
Post Office Building, the exclusive
property Of the United States, has
long been needed by the Government
in our growing village. The Office has
now become an important one, it
being the depository of public funds
and papers to considerable amount
This fact alone is sufficient to induce
the Government to secure its valuable
papers and moneys by building O
room under the Custom House, with
n fire proof vault, for Post. Office pur
poses. In Burlington it is the case
In Rutland the Court House and Post
Office are united in the same building
A Custom House is for the benefit o
the few, while the Post Office is fol
the accommodation of the many. On
citizens should not lose sight of th,
useful in their efforts to secure impor
tant accessions to the village. We ar,
confident the Government will not fai
as its policy has always been in the con
struction OF its public buildings
where appropriations have been made
to carefully ascertain the want
of the public, and to provide fc
them in such n manner as to obv
ate the necessity of future claims.

Now that st. Patrick's Day is past
we suppose our Canadian neighbors
breathe easier On that day they
were informed by "relable gentle
men" that the Fenians would move
against them with a powerful army,
and great preparations were made to
repel them; but they did not move in
that direction. Instead Of Selling
terror-stricken Canada, they celebra-
ted tho day at home in grand style
The celebrations in New York and
other large cities were on n "magniti-
cent SCALE" the wearers of the green
turning out in large numbers.
The celebration in Burlington was
attended by about three hundred Fe-
mans, who, from all accounts, enjoyed
themselves hugely" and behaved
themselves in the most orderly man
ner. The procession made n very
good show. Thirty-two ladies dress
ed in white and green and drawn in
open carriages, represented the coun-
ties of Ireland. The James Stephen
Circle, of St Adams, marched next tc
the Sarsfeld Circle, of Burlington,
their elegant banner attracting much
attention. The procession returned
to the City Hall about half past two
o'clock when addresses were made by
Lawrence ID. Kiernan, of New York
and Capt VIM. Stephens, n relative o
the grand Head Centre. The latte
speaker ridiculed the story that thu
Fenians intended to invade Canada
the fight = "Kanucks' please taxi
notice-would be fought in Ireland
When Mr.. Stephens concluded, tw'
hundred and fifty dollars of bond
were taken.
In the evening there was banque
at the Lake House which was partici
pated in by many of the brotherhood
and sisterhood At the supper tabl
there were toasts, speeches and music
!, in short, the Fenians had a good time
. which is largely due to Capt. Loner
gan who seems to be the master spin

to deeds of valor and all this, and
more, MS | believe, has been caused by
the mistakes of the President. His
plan of trusting rebels. with their
State governments has had an effect
exactly the opposite of what he intend
ed. 1t has ruined the prospects of
the Union men, and they feel that
there is no safety for them unless
Congress shall choose to protect
them. Even three days ago Gen.
Thomas had to send troops into Mar
shall county, some sixty miles distant
to protect loyal men and freedmen
who were fleeing for safety and com
ing to the city.
SO far as / am individually con
cerned, the Incorporate abuse OF reb-
els, the denuncation and blackguard-
ism of their reconstructed journals,
the threats of personal violence from
these amnestied patriots, and the
anonymous letters of towards threat
ening my assassination, all fall harm
less at my feet. No earthly power can
drive me from the support of the men
and party who fought the battles of
the late war, and put down the rebel
lion.

want,

TIcKNoR & FIELDS PEmoDIcALs.-
Messrs Ticknor & Fields, of Boston,
are publishers of the best and most
varied periodical literature of the
country. "The North American Re
view" the oldest quarterly in the
country, maintains, under the editori-
al charge of Messrs. Lowell & Norton,
its well earned reputation as a safe We
hicle of thought upon literary, scien-
tifc, and political topics. It's critical
notices are generally esteemed to be
thorough and impartial.
Ticknor & Fields are also the publish
ers of the Atlantic Monthly" which,
although not so learned and scholar
like as the ponderous quarterly last
mentioned, is devoted with care and
talent to literature, science, art and pol
tiles. This monthly is established
upon permanent basis, as well as
the illustrated monthly magazine for
boys and girls which is published
by them under the name of "Our
Young Folks" All of these period
icals are made up of original articles
from the readiest and most attractive
pens in the country. They are print
ed in the best style of the typograph-
ical art and on white and substantial
paper.
But these are not all. They have
recently established a weekly journal
entitled Every Saturday" which con
tains choice reading selected from for
eign current literature. The publish
ers aim to reproduce in their new
weekly papers from foreign period
icals which by their variety, freshness
and value, shall attract and improve
all classes of cultivated readers. o
course, this new candidate for popular
favor is well printed. 1t contains
thirty-two large octave pages with al
engraved title and is stereotyped
We heartily commend these period
icals to our readers. This Favorable
notice is no purchased puff which
valuable consideration has elected
We speak what we know We fee
confident that wherever such litera
ture finds welcome, wholesome en-
tertainment and valuable instruction
will be secured.

The Frozen WELL OF BRANDON. The
Freeman thus speaks of this renarka-
BILE WE'LL
This well has existed seven winters
and six summers. It's depth is 4 feet
The water is from two and half to
three feet in depth. A coat of ice is
formed on the wall of the well the
whole depth of the water. The ice be
comes so thick in winter as to render
it difficult to dip up water with com
mon bucket The surface OF the wa
ter also freezes over every night dur
ing the winter. Ice has thus formed
four inches in thickness in one night,
the present winter. The owner is
obliged to descend into the well, and
cut open the ice, every morning in
winter, in order to draw water. As
spring advances the surface of the wa
ter ceases to freeze, but the ice re-
mains on the wall around the water
diminishing in quantity as summer adj
yances, but does not entirely disappear
some remaininguntil the next winters
freezing commences. The well yieldi

BSg-We regret to learn that Senator
Foot, who has been sick in Washing
ton for several weeks past, is consid-
cred by his friends in critical condi-
ton. Vermont has recently been
called to mourn the death Of nm able
Senator, and she can lily afford to
lose another at this time. Mr.. Foot
was borne in Cornwall, this State, in
1902, and graduated at Middlebury
College He was elected Representa-
tive to Congress in 1913 and served
two terms He was first elected
United States Senator in 1850, and is
now serving his third term, which ex-
pires in 1869.
