existing north Of the ST. Lawrence.
The great number Of pianos that come boxed
up here via rail Is astonishing; and more aston
ishing stillbis the fact that the parties to whom
these boxes are directed are not of the class,
socially speaking supposed to take any very
great degree of interest in the digital exercises
pertaining to such instruments. tits suggested
that perhaps their music is about TO be heard
elsewhere. Be this as IL may, the transportation
to this point of large, square boxes, marked

most remarkably during the past month. These
packages are invariably called for by rubicund-
looking Milesians, who pay all freight charges
willingly, and then remove their property to

however, of bodies of men such as are known
to have debarked at st. Adams, aud at other
point near the border. 1t may be that for
stragetical reasons the anticipated campaign is

when Malone was made the base of operations
for the left wing of the Fenian column Just
twelve miles northward from this point the
Canada border is reached; and there is no
water crossing necessary, as at Ogdensblrg.
For this reason the invading forces marched
from here in 1866, and sooth to say, to this
point they marched back again, after having
failed in the attempt to take Canada.
Whether there is soon to be repetition OF

painter, Louis Roulanger, were celebrated at
Dion on the 7th inst, in presence of the civil
and military authorities of the town, and a
large coneourse Of citizens. After the cere-
mony his body was escorted to the railway
station for transportation to Paris, where it
arrived, and has been inferred with appro-
pirate honors
1t is well known that there is a company
long in operation here, whose business it is to
undertake funeral pomps, etc. new COM
pany has just been started for the Quitting
of matrimonial professions, ceremonies, etc.
This society or company, is thus described by
a French paper
"Its duties will be to assume the preparation
of matrimonial pOmps at every price. There
will be first second and third classes-that is
TO say for the street. carriages cabs, and fiacres;
for the church, the grand altar with more or
less candles, and the organs; Ihe small a! aitar
plain, according to the class represented. There
will be nuptial chambers furnished at all
prices. The marriages of the bdSSe cLdSSe can be
accomm odated cheap, with q garret furnished
with q shawl for window curtain. In word,
small, the bridegroom will have to trouble
himself with no preparation, and can devote
his whole attention TO his BRIDE"
THE FENIANs.
The Fenians have been causing much trou-
BILE again, and this time their demonstrations
were more formidable than heretofore. The
telegraph will have acquainted you with their
movements ere my letter reaches you, so l
will not discuss their probable consequences.
Many surmises are INDUCED in by the English
press as to the location of the Central Commit
tee of Fenianism. Some say that it is Paris,
others pretend that it is established at Brus-
sells or Rotterdam, and, lastly, anonymous in
formation afirms that this Committee is
actually in London.
THE EMPEROR OF GERMANY.
The title of Emperor of Germany is to
be conferred upon the King of Prussia after
the establishment of closer relations between
Northern and Southern Germany. The Poles
are making great efforts to prevent the
entrance of the provinces of Posen and West
ern Prussia into the Confederation of North
Germany. If this entrance takes place, the
name of Poland will disappear entirely from
the map Of Europe.
NEW JOURNAL.
The Franco-American Times is the title of a
new journal which has appeared in our city.
1t represents American interests, and is a
branch of a similar paper called the Anglo
american Times, published III London for
more than a year past. Americans will, no
doubt feel pride in sustaining these esti-
mable journals. CURRAN.

The Interoceanic Railroad.

New YORK, March 27.-The Costa Rica In
teroceanic Railroad Company has contracted
with Colonel Edward McGovern, of Pennsyl-
vania to superintend the survey of the route
conceded to them by the Costa Rica Govern
ment. Colonel McGovern was lately employed
on the railroad between Vera Cruz and the city
of Mexico.
The new enterprise with which he has iden-
titled himself looks to the construction of a
new railroad connecting the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans, having excellent harbOrs at its
termini, and passing through healthy, pro-
ductive, and populous region.

In other words, in the year 1865 we spent
$500, 900, 600 more than we received; in the
wear 1855 we received 5000, 1000, 900 more
than we spent. 1t is equally gratifying to
notice that, although many articles taxed in
1865 were in the free list in 1866, and many
other articles had their tax materially
lessened, yet the industry of the country
paid S8, 600, 600 more internal revenue tax in
1866 than it did in the preceding year. The
receipts of 1866 were $48,000,0O0 more than
1865, the expenditures $772,000,00O less,
showing a net difference to the nation for one
year of over $500, 000 600.

Part of this large sum has been used in

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The receipts of the

We learn that report is in circulation to
the effect that paper was read on Sunday

especially warning them not to trade with

We call for the facts in this matter, and

speak of the injustice to the Jews, who are

swift to pass an act of general amnesty and
pardon in order to screen them from all flu
.ture investigation. 1t would have been far
more proper and more conduciveto the flu
ture peace and welfare of the country, had
the Legislature instituted in each county a
commission to take afidavits respecting the
occurrences in it, to he published in vol
ume and preserved among the public arch
ives, as a perpetual warning to posterity.-
Such record would certainly serve as a
guide to future Legislatures in making just
determinations in such acts of amnesty as
good policy may from time to time require.
The untimely haste of legislators to draw
curtain over it all, leaves room for suspicion
that the purpose was not only to secure the
guilty from punishment, but more especially
to save the instigators and leaders of the re
bellion from the disgrace to which the truth
might expose them before the tribunal of
mankind.

The Sentinel states that Judge Fowle ac-
cepts the secession nomination for the Con-
vention. The Judge will, of course, take
ground against the reconstruction acts. Can
he do this as State officer acting under
military authoritya Would it not be as
we'll for him to resign his Judgeships He
reminds us of Gov. Bragg's fable. He is
grasping at the shadow and will lose the
substance.
The Sentinel says it has not yet heard
from the other secession candidates nomina-
ted. Considerable time has elapsed since
they were nominated; they have not been
heard from, and the fair inference is that
they will not run. The indications are that
the Judge will have to clip it over the
course, far in the rear, by himself.
