to do this transhipment may be re-
quired, the expense Is very much less
than by an all rail route. At Ogdens-
burg direct connection would be had
with the largest craft that navigate the
lakes.
To show what amount of business
comes over the Vermont Central We need
only state that no other road leading to
Boston from the West, begins TO trans.
port so much western produce over it as
this. 1t stands number one, while the
Rutland and Fitchburg roads stand
next, owing TO their having partial ad-
vantage OF the cheap water carriage
which this road shares so largely. The
Worcester and Western roads-gigantic
as they are-rank number three in sup
plying Boston with the productsBot the
West.
With q saving OF fifty miles from
Montpelier in reaching good shipping
port and over q road leased TO one hav-
ing so controlling an interest as the
Vermont Central, 1t is not difficult to
see that Portland would soon become
the great port Of entry and shipment for
the vast regions on and beyond the great
lakes.
At recent railroad meeting in Port
land, Ex-Gov. Washburn said
Responsible parties stand ready TO
lease the road when complete, and pay
six per cent. interest upon it. He APP
| pealed to Mr.. Fairbanks of Vermont,
| whether his statement was not correct.
MIR. Fairbanks said it was. Col. Clapp
said he understood 1t was the Vermont
Central company that had offered TO
lease the road.
Mr. Linsley Of Vermont, civil engin-
eer, made some statements as to the
! feasibility of the route through the
Notch of the White Mountains. The
surveys had not been completed, but he
had examined the route and was salts
fed that the route could be constructed
easier and with better grades than
through the passes of the Green Noun
tains. The road would run along on
the side of the mountain, and therefore
those obstacles that appear so iusufier-
able in the travelled road would be
avoided the grades would not exceed
IS feet to the mile. He thought the
road could be built from here to Mont
pelier for s25, 900 per mile.

HABITS OF SHBEP.-Sheep persevering-
ly follow their leaders wherever he goes
but if in case of sudden alarm any one
of the flock runs forward to escape, and
thus takes the lead the rest generally
follow him, regardless of any obstruC-
ton. or this singular disposition we
once witnessed an instance in Cleveland,
Ohio. A butchers boy was driving
about twenty fat sheep through the city,
but they ran down q street along which
he did not want them togo. He Observ-
ed a sCavenger at work with his broom
little way before them, and called out
loudly for the man to stop the sheep.
The man accordingly did what he could
to turn them back, running from side to
side, always opposing himself to their
passage, and brandishing his broom
with great dexterity but the sheep,
much agitated, pressed forward and at
last one of them came right up to the
man who, fearing it was about to jump
over his head while he was stopping,
grasped the short broomstick in both
hands, and held it over his head. He
stood for few seconds in this position,
when the sheep made spring and jump
ed fairly over him without touching the
broom. The first had no sooner cleared
this impeachment than another followed,
and another, in such quick succession
that the man, perfectly confounded
seemed to lose all recollection and stood
in the same attitude till the whole had
jumped over him, not one of them at
tempting to pass on either side, though
the street was quite clear. AS this took
place during wet weather, the man was
entirely despatched over with dirt be-
fore they had all passed and it is i'm
possible to conceive a more ludiCrous
appearance than the poor fellow made
on the occasion.-Erchatige

CONCERT AT BRANDoN.-The Brandon
Musical Union, now numbering over ff-
tty performers and comprising the best
musical talent in Brandon, propose to
give their second concert at Town Hall.
Bran don, about the 10Th Of May next.
The efficient and thorough drill which
they have received and the marked pro-
gress made under the baton of Conductor
W. F. Leavitt, will insure to their
friends and the music-loving public gen.
orally, richer treat even than their
highly creditable and well appreciated
concert of last winter. A display Of solo
talent and high order Of chorusss and
church music will be brought out, not
attempted at the first concert on account
Of the limited time for preparation. Al
together, it will be a "big thing" and
give an opportunity to the people Of
Brandon and vicinity Of listening to q
higher style Of vocal music ans better
concert than they have enjoyed for q
long time.

SUDDEN DnArH IN EAST WALLISaFoRp

SUDDEN DHArH IN East WALLISdFoRp,
We learn that Mrs. Daniel Kent OF
East walllngtord on Saturday evening
last started to go TO the place where
her husband was boiling sap, but be-
coming bewildered she lost her way.
Her cries were heard by various persons
but were not recognized as proceeding
from a human being, She at last sue
caeded in getting within about twenty
rods of her home, when she fell dead
from exhaustion and was found dead on
Sunday morning. Mrs, Kent had been
afflicted with disease Of the heart and
this was undoubtedly the immediate
cause Of her death. This event has pro-
duced a deep feeling of gloom in the
place, as she was lady who enjoyed the
respect and confidence OF her acquaint-
ances In a high degree.
