A PLAN AND PRoFI E of the proposed rail-
road route through the Wiley Notch in the
White Mountains has just been received. and
now hangs in Collector Washburn's room, at
the Custom House. The route was located and
the elevations determined by surveys. in May
last, under the direction of Mr.. D. G. Linsley,
Chief Engineer of the Vermont Central Rail-
road, nd an accomplished master of his pro-
fession. The plan and the horizontal distances
of the profile are ON scale of 400 feet to the
inch. The grades as determined by the sur
vey, are IS feet to the mile in approaching the
Notch from the south, 80 feet to the mile for
about 900 yards before reaching the highest
point at the Crawford House, and go feet to the
mile in descending the northern slope. These
grades, though heavy, are entirely feasible; the
Grand Trunk shows considerably heavier
grades; though none so long. The cuts and

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-About o'clock last
evening the large frame building on the corner
OF Congress and Washington streets was dis
covered to be on fire in the third story. The
building was occupied by r. N Brown 8 Co.
for broom factory, L. W. Tibbetts & Co.. fur
niture manufacturers, Daniel Melcher, marble
works, and - Eastman's barber shop. The
building was owned by Mr.. Tibbetts.
The fire originated in room in tn North
western corner of the Sd story, occupied for
the broom factory. The flames spread rapidly
among the broom corn and dry stuff, and the
whole OF the upper portion of the building
was soon in flames. Nothing of consequence
was saved from the broom factory. The furni-
ture of Messrs. Tbbetts & Co., in the lower
story, was removed but they had a large
amount Of bedsteads in the third and fourth
stories They also had large amount of val
liable furniture in the second story, which they
had been manufacturing and purchasing for
the rev hall of the Masonic lodges, which was
all destroyed. The stock of Mr.. Melcher was
mostly removed.
The building will be total loss. It was val
ued at $6o00 and was insured for 1850 at the
agency of J. n. Webster, Esq. Messrs. Tib-
belts & Co. had Sc, 600 insurance on their stock
Of furniture $4,000 in the Etna Office at the
agency of Messrs. Dow, Coffin & Libby, and
$1,000 in Offices at the agency of Messrs. Lor-
ing & Thurston. The Masonic Lodges had
81 500 in the Insurance Company of North
America and $1,000 in the Peoples Office,
Worcester, at the agency of Messrs, Dow, Cot
On & Libby, which will cover about one half
of their loss. Mr.. Melcher had 81 200 in the
Atlantic Office, New York, which will cover
all his loss. Messrs. Brown & Co. had 81 500
in the Excelsior Office, New York, on their
broom stock, which will about cover half of
their loss. Mr.. Eastman's barber stock was
safely removed. ~ -ess.s
The buildings in that vicinity were all in
great danger from the cinders and sparks
which flew from the burning building and
lodged on the roofs. 1t required the greatest
vigilance on the part OF the occupants in wet
ting their roofs, several of which caught fire. to
prevent an extensive confagration. The fire.
men worked nobly, and deserve praise for
their efforts.
Mr.. Tbbets left the city yesterday, having
received intelligence of the death of his son
abroad p 2 d. - 2 = !
II our City Council were present at the e re,
they must have been impressed with the con-
viction that more water is necessary at least in
that vicinity. ~
The origin of the fire is not known, but pre-
sumed to have been accidental.

RIVER NEWS.

The weather was fair and moderately
warm yesterday. The river is at a stand,
with fourteen feet Of water in the chan
mel.
Business was a little more lively on
the wharf yesterday.
The KeRtoH, from New Orleans, bound
for Pittsburg, stopped at the wharf and
unloaded twenty-one hogsheads Of leaf
tobacco.
The st. Louis Dispatch thus speaks OF
the dullness of the river business at that
port:
Business, crab like continues to 20
backward, with very gloomy prospects
for the future.
There is no trouble at the wharf abont
the eight hour movement, the majority
of the laborers thinking themselves
lucky if they can put in six hours, and
get their pay. Unless there is a change,
four hours or less, will constitute day
work at the wharf.
Last week is set down as the duiiest
ever experienced OH the river at this
season of the year. Drays were hang
ing around loose, or serving as kind
of hitching places by which owners of
horses could escape the penalties pro-
vided for leaving them loose. Aside
from the arrival and departure Of the
regular packets, which brought moth
ing, and took away nothing, but them
selves, the landing was almost as quiet
as the meadowy banks of some coun-
try rivulet.
Ii is stated OIL authority that one
man about dusk Saturday evening was
seen depositing small quantity of
freight, which if he hadn't been known
we should have supposed had stolen it
some where. and was laying it on the
wharf to hide it.

Re,uarlk able Wedding.

The Dayton (Ohio) Journal is respon-
sible for the following story;
Tuesday morning u couple appeared
in the Probate Court and demanded q
marriage license. When the moment
arrived for paying the fee the man was
backing ont, but the woman said be
shouldn't do that, mot by any means,
and she paid for the. license. The couple
soon afterward appeared Mt Justice
Turner's Office, and the woman made
known her "intentions." The unusual
appearance of the "happy couple" at
tracted unusual attention, and large
crowd was soon gathered there to see
the solemn ceremonies. When the
couple were asked to stand up and face
the music, the groom again tried to
back ont; and the bride seeing that
there was no other way for it, remarked
that he'd got to stand it, and there was
no use in talking about it. She caught
hold of the doubling Thomas and squar-
ed him up before the Justice, with the or
der fer him to ''sail inw just then the
query arose as to where the fee for the ty.
ing of the hymeneal knot was to come
from. The man said he couldn't stand
Uut eNDtIlSt. lhC W. aooSAsSA sA.s
she had paid for the license, and the
man should pay for the marrying. He
protested that he wouldn't, aud that
he'd 20 to Cincinnati and work. The
woman caught him as he was slipping
away from the matrimonial moose, threw
him down on the floor, and, taking same
money from his pockets, she deliberate
" paid the Justice his fee, and then,
holding on to her "feller," the knot
was tied in due form. All the while the
bride was munching peanuts, and when
the ceremony was concluded the floor
was Uttered with the shells. The bride
saluted her husband with "Tom, you're
a liar" Congratulations to the happy
couple were fairly showered down, and
were characterized more for their rO-
busticity than for their delicacy; and
the bride and groom left "the presence
in q condition of iollity which foretold
boisterous honeymoon. When last
seen the amiable spouse showed her lord
into the gutter at the corner Of Jeffer-
son and Second streets.

4 Man Digs mp the Corpse Of thi'
Wife nnd Conveys it Home,

A most extraordinary case Of viola
tion of the sepulchre has Just occurred
in one Of the French Departments at
Louvroil (Nord.) A workman named
Masnan, aged 3', had the misfortune,
about month back, to lose his wife, to
whom he was greatly attached, and a
few days after his grief was augmented
by the death Of his child. From that
moment the husband appeared to have
partially lost his reason, and he was
continually talking ofhis deceased part
ner, and expressing the belief that she
had only left him for short time, and
would soon return. Recently, after
spending short time i'll wine-shOp,
where some drink VIII ich he took had
still further unsettled his mind, he
returned home, took spade, and pro-
ceeding to the cemetery, commenced
removing the earth from the woman's
grave; after some hours labor, he
succeeded in bringing the coffin to
the surface, and then forcing off the
lid took out the corpse, aud carrying IL
home in his arms, placed it in his bed,
and then, after lighting the fire, went
and informed three of his neighbors
that his wife had returned home. These
latter, although not attaching any i'm,
portance to his words, accompanied
him home with the view of inducing
him to retire to rest, but were hOrritied
to find the body as Magnan had stated.
The unfortunate workman spoke to it
as if still living, and endeavored to OBJ
tain a reply by addressing it in the
most endearing terms. Findingit, how.
ever, deaf to his entreaties, he allowed
himself to he persuaded to carry it back
and replace it in the coffin, which he
restored to the grave; he also filled in
the earth and went home to sleep. On
the following day, Magnan had no re-
collection OF what took place on the
previous evening, and said that he
thought he had seen his wife during
the night. The authorities have not
given orders for his arrest, but have di-
rected that he should he strictly watch
ed rs weak in mind.

The Supreme Court has decided not
to render written opinion ut this term
of Court OH the Georgia and Mississippi
injunction cases, but to defer it until
the next term. The decision, however,
which has been determined on, will be

REGISTRATION IN NEW oRLEANs.
General Sheridan having decided to
close the registration in New Orleans,
May Is, the President telegraphed him
to keep it open until all voters were
registered within the limits Of Attorney
General Stanberry's forthcoming deci-
sion OIL the disfranchising clanse of the
Reconstruction act. A copy of General
Sheridan's order remodeling the police
force at New Orleans, has been received
at Grants headquarterers. He quotes
an act of the Louisiana legislature
prohibiting any one who has not resided
five years in New Orleans from being
% policeman, and says 1.-The object of
this act was to exclude ex-Cuion SOL
diers from the police force. 1t was
faithfully carried out by the newly
elected Mayor Monroe, and every ex-
Union soldier discharged te make room
for those of rebellious antecedents. To
annul this unjust prescription so much
of the act as requires residence OF five
years is suspended, residence qualiti-
cation Of two years adopted. The
Mayor is directed to adjust the present
police force, so that at least One-half
of said force shall be composed of eI-
Union soldiers, and all acts and Ordi-
nances, State or municipal, in the way
of this adjustment, will be disregarded.

From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
The workingmen in several of the
trades are striking for higher wages.
At the same time the employers say
they cannot pay more without produc-
ing q general st oppage of business.
The workmen of this country, as
Commissioner Wells has shown in his
report, are underpaid when their wages
are compared with the cost of the ne
cessaries of life Yet on the other hand,
wages are 50 high that industry is par
alyzed.
| One chief cause of this ruinous state
Of things is the. abominable way in
which the "protectionists' have ar.
ranged, or misarranged, our whole sys-
tenn of taxation. Instead of raising our
revenue cheaply from thirty OF forty
leading articles of consumption, we
raise il now by taxing sixteen thousand
articles. This monstrous system is de-
vised more for the benefit Of tax-gath.
erers and the monopOlists whose capital
is protected" than for the Government
and people.
Wherever mechanics meet together ia
consider their condition, let them pro-
test against the ruinous folly of raising
revenue by taxes on sixteen thousand
articles, and demand of Congress an
immediate and thorough reform, on the
basis Of q strictly revenue tariff and tax
system.
