Among the books recently issued by Lee q.
Shepard, Boston, is "Neighbor's Wives" "by j.
L. Trowbridge. The first part OF this story ap-
peared in the magazine which had such n brief
existence under the title of Northern Lights"
and for some weeks it afforded all the bright
ness there was to that feeble luminary. The
many readers who had become interested in IL
there and who were anxious to know the de-
nouenent will be glad to have the whole in
this neat volume. The humorous portions of
the book are exceedingly well done. Cooper
John and his wife Prudence are studies from
the life, and most artistically drawn. Tasso
Smith Is the very moral" as the Irish say, of
the mean village loafer, the rural developement
of the genus "cuss." His dialect is very nearly
perfect. Mr.. Trowbridge has studied the vari-
Gus notifications of the Yankee vernacular
and makes skillful use of the results of his oh
servations. The character of Faustina Dane
will strike some readers as improbable, but wo
think such have not considered to what dentbs
of cowardly meanness a weak Drained voi,
and selfish woman can descend. "Neirhbors,

author has yet given us, and will be likelv m

ties of the gourd family. How often have per-
sons taken pains to preserve the seeds OF some

Gle very different from that out of which the

the fact, unknown unobserved the previous

A year ago last autumn, a neighbor of ours
purchased several rich marrow sauashes in

was so well pleased with them that he took

ten or dozen pounds; they were egg-shaped
with point at the flower end. Last fall A ner-

1t will be seen from the following extract
from the st. Johnsbury paper that the interest
in the contemplated railway to connect PORT
land with New Hampshire, Vermont and the
West does not abate in the least, but the fever
is on the increase. We have often travelled
over Northern Vermont and know it to be a
rich agricultural district, and its products would
naturally find market in our city in exchange
for articles imported by our merchants from
the West India Islands, to say nothing of 9TH
er branches of trade which would spring up
between the two sections when brought into
such near relationship as the contemplated
railroad would cleate. Strike when the iron
is hot and keep it hot by constant striking
Portland must have this avenue opened to the
far West. The people along the line are wide
awake. They have the aoiu and they will find
the aCay. .
The Caledonian, published at st. Johnsbury,
VT, says:
Steady progress is being made in working up
the new railroad enterprise, which is to CON
meet Northern Vermont with the "rest of man
KIND, east and west. Since our last paper
was printed, Danville has voted to loan her
credit to the Montpelier and st. Johnsbury
railroad company, for the sum of one hun
dred thousand dollars. This, together with
the ST. Johnsbury subscriptions makes sum
OF over half a million dollars for a railroad
from Montpelier to the Connect river. The
citiLens OF Danville have entered into this
work with much unanimity and enthusiasm
aud their determination to do what they can
TO secure trunk railway through their own
is very gratifying to the directors of the road
and the friends of the enterprise everywhere
we shall soon see what Cabot Marshfield and
the towns beyond are going to do, As far west
on the line as we have advices, the prospects
are that the allotted amounts will be readily
taken by the towns. The people of this part OF
Vermont are nearly unanimous in their wish
and determination to have a railroad east and
west across our State. The welfare of this en-
tire section demands it. They are seconded in
their efforts by some of the best and wealthiest
men of Maine and New Hampshire, as well as
prominent and influential men west; and they
will not be defeated in this great enterprise by
the efforts any corporate monopoly or rival in
