Boston and Erie Railroad

The \. I. Times publishes an article en- titled, Railroad Prospects in New Eng land, by Boston contributor, from which we extract the following:
 Massachusetts has three railroad projects under consideration. and all of them will be built speedily The first is known as the Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad; the second the Williamsburg and North Adams, and the third the Milford and Woonsocket The late Legislature, as the readers of the Times have already been ad- vised, made three million loan of the States credit to this corporation While there might seem to be good deal of i'm propriety in the Commonwealth's going outside of its own limits to loan its money, yet there is a method in this kind of legis- lation. Not mile of the road is to be built with the money in Massachusetts, The Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad is chartered by the concurrent legislation of the State of New York, Massachusetts Rhode Island and Connecticut, with pow CT to build a railway from Boston via Willi- mantle, Hartford and Waterbury, to Fish kill, on the Hudson River, opposite the City of Newburgh, at which point the Erie Road terminates by branch twenty miles in length, dlverging from the main line at Greycourt. The argument used before the Leg slative Committee in aid of the State loan was that the completion of this road to Fishlill would put Boston in communica- tion with the connections of the Erie Rail- way, and add to that city other railroad connections which can only be reached at the present time by long and circuitous routes. Of it's main line the Boston, Hart ford and Erie Road has completed 236 miles. There are still remaining incom- plete between Putnam Conn and Willi- mantle twenty six miles, and seventy-six between Waterbury and the Hudson River The loan thus obtained from Massachu- setts is secured in the mortgage of $2O.- 100000, ratified and confirmed by the sev- eral States which the road traverses, and covering the franchise and the entire prop erty of the corporation, Massachusetts has certainly got ample security against any loss, and the success of the investment, while assuming speculative character, is we'll cal culated to pour treasure into the already af- fluent lap of the metropolis of New Eng land Boston, though her Board of Trade and other manipulating influences, can we'll afford to compel, as it were the State to legislate in favor of capitalsts-as she always has-To the exclusion, perhaps, of schemes designed or promised to benefit the masses Her material influences are to be benefited by the completion of.this great line of communication; and in commercial matters, when Boston takes the snuff the county towns sneeze, and it's members dur ing the operation always when capital promises to vote yes on moral questions forinstance. It is confidently expected that connection with the Erie Railway will be completed in eighteen months from this time.

The Washington correspondent of the boston Advertiser says: ''rhe judiciary committee took considerable evidence bear Ing on the question of Jefferson Davis's complicity ill the assassination of MT. Lin coin. They have the originals or certified copies of a number of letters written in 1864 wherein the writers proposed the assass:- nation, and there is nothing to show that he ever rebuked the authors or discounter anced the scheme. The testimony as to his complicity in Booths plot is not en- tirely conclusive, but is so strong that at least three of the members of that commit tee believe his guilt to be shown. That he had dealings with Booth and his agents is beyond doubt.

Smith. She was very superior mare, and much resembled her illus trious sire, the celebrated Old Clifford; and I sincerely think there is not another horse in Vermont that possess es those sterling quali- ties which have been so much sought after in higher degree of perfection than this mare She was a mare of remarkable power, supe- rior speed, and capable of enduring thr most tatiguing hardships.

business Just then precluded the idea Of hisac-
companying her, but he helped on her prepar
atoms, and one bright morning, now fifteen
years ago, carefully put her on board the east
eern bound train, bade her farewell, and went
back to his home to keep bachelor 5 hall as
best he might
Strange to say, he heard nothing from the
absentee; but, faithful to his promise, the next
sunday he wrote her long letter, setting forth
all his dlscomtorts, and begged her to hasten
her return. Lo, the return mail brought not
a dainty little loving missve from his absent
Harriet, but strange, ill-omened scrawl from
her mother. 1t was wild cry Of alarm. The
daughter had not been home And from that
Clne 10r htteen years she never did reach home
or or d2rken or brighten her husbands DOORS
The husband bore his bereavement most stoic-
ally, the father said nothing. He loved his
boys, and was proud Of them. His girl he had
reared up to womanhood, got her married off,
ana the worrment of the mystery he had wash
ed MS hands OF. 1t belonged, by good rights,
to the husband
But the poor mother, who had never, in all
her life before, gone beyond the shadow Of her
husband apple trees, set off alone in search of
her. She wandered up and down the world
for months. A shy, quiet homebody, very deaf,
anu knowing no more about geographical points
and railroad routes than the big dog she left at
home, no one wondered when she gave up the
search at last as hopeless. She grew very old
and very deaf meantime, and everybody pitied
the meek, patient, mOtherly woman, who fore,
cd herself to settle down at last and live on the
old, unappeased anxiety. Well, the daughter
came home the other day, She had found her
