The advantages of this nCw route to the
West are beginning to attract attention, not
only along the line OF the road but through
out New England. AT the last meeting OF the
Boston Board of Trade, the committee re-
Gently delegated to visit Ogdensburg and in
spect the elevators, docks and other cnmmer-
cial facilities of the place, reported substan-
TALLY as folows
The delegation was greatly impressed with
the importance of the route as one of the
chains OF communication with the West. AL
though they would do what they could to as
sist and encourage all the great enterprises,
the object of which is to extend the means OF
transportation and communication with other
parts of our land, and would by no means
draw any invidious distinction, yet the inter-
est of this one centering entirely in New Eng
| land, and being under New England control,
| they think it particularly proper that Boston
| shoug do all that lies in her power to foster
| and cherish it. The State of Maine being ac-
| lively alive to the advantages of this New
| England route, is taking measures to build
| road from the city of Portland to unite with
| the Ogdensburg railroad, which, in connec-
| ton with the European steamers, may divert
| a considerable portion of the traffic to that
| State which would otherwise come to Boston.
| On the other hand the road for the whole
route between Boston and the terminus of the
| lake navigation, at Ogdensburg is already
| built, and needs only more extensive equip
ment to transport an immense amount of mer-
chandise which otherwise must seek an outlet
| elsewhere. Meanwhile the canal from Geor-
/ gian Bay, through Lake Simcoe to Lake On
| tario, which the Huron and Ontario Ship Ca
nal Company contemplates making, at a cost
of some 900 will so facilitate the trans
| p0rtatiOn of merchandise as to cause great
increase in the navigation Of the lakes, and
| thus bring vast quantities of Western pro-
ducts through Ogdensburg to the East.
| Through her new line of steamers it is trusted
that Boston will soon offer the cheapest and
most expeditions means of transporting the
products of our great Western country to the
marts of Europe. Ii is therefore for the inter-
est of this community to encourage the enter
prise which has been inaugurated, and thus
lar carried on with so much energy, and it is
trusted with prospect of increase and success
In order to enlarge the business of Boston and
of New England, it is necessary to do all that
can be done, to promote this great undertak-
ing. The report closes with the following reso-
| luton: asts
Resoloed, That it is expedient that the Trans.
portation Committee take this whole su11ects
into consideration; to ascertain what steps u
any, can be taken in the premises, IN ,';ot, o,Io
that the trade may be secured TO Dos oii, ~
otherwise will inevitably be Diverted oiso""e
and report to the Board
There is no occasion for any alarm IN DOS

The PRESENT STYLE of wearing the waterfall
on the top of the head-it was bad enough
behind it's simply deformity. 1t des-
troys the proportion of the head, and is an
eXcrescence that no one can refrain from
desiring to remove. even by violence. A
woman might as well have a hump on her
back. or walk on stills. as it is said she did
in the early days of Venice, or cover one of
her soft cheeks with black plaster, or wear
rings in her nose. But she will not believe
it; for no woman would consciously mar
Ter beauty, or diminish the grace she had
inherited. Who does not long for the
simple arrangement Of the hair, as we see it
in 6recian statues, plainly put back from
the face, or falling over the ears and cheek,
with a neat coil behind, or q braid if variety
be needed?
No woman has a right to spoil her ap-
pearance for fashion sake. She owes more
to beauty and to nature than to the mantua-
maker or to caprice; and We must believe
the time will come VIXEN the really true
woman will consider carefully the extent
and sacredness OF her debt. and discharge it
coDscicntiOusly and religiously. - ~ Y
