The Plymouth Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1869-1941, 1869-10-07

OLD John Berry that used to live up
Lake Champlain liked to tell big story.
One evening, sitting in the village store,
he said he once drove horse ~ miles
in one day on the ice, when the ice was
so thin that the water spirited up through
the holes cut through it by the horse's $
corks. One Of the bystanders remarked
that seventy-two miles was pretty good
drive for one day. Eyes" said Uncle
John, "but ii tcas a long day In June"

The Sir John Franklin Document In
California.

We have received the below communi-
cation by express, from a party in San
Bucnavcntura, who signs his name, and is
vouched for by respectable firm in this
city as an honest, trustworthy man. The
communication reads as follows:
"NEws OF SIR JOHN FRAKLIN.
Pound on the beach at San Bucnavcn-
tura, on the 30th of August last, docu
ment measuring 13 by 10 inches, much
mutilated, requesting the finder to forwardit
to the Secretary of the Admiralty at Lon
don, or to thcsBritish Consul at the near
est port. This request is printed in SIX
commercial languages. The margin and
every vacant portion of it has been filled
up with writing relating to Sir John
Franklin and his party, and was
evidently cast to the waves in latitude
60 deg. 81 min. 40 Sec, and longitude
SO deg. 4 min. 5. Sec 1t gives an account
of the desertiOn of the ships Erebus and
Terror. At the time of the descrtiOn the
party numbered 105 souls, under the COM
mand of f. r. NJ. Crozier, and succeeded
i'm getting as far south as the latitude and
longitude mentioned above. Here they
found relics of the late Sir John Ross
The document states that Sir John Frank
lin and party wintered at Bcechy Island
i'm 1867, in lat. 81 deg. 43 min. 2S Sec,
and long. 81 deg 35 min. Is sec., having
descended Wellington Channel to lat n
deg, and returned by the west side of
CORVALLIS Island. 1t also states that Sir
John Franklin died on the 18th Of June,
1S47. 1t contains accounts of many in
teresting incidents connected with the eX-
pedition, which will be made known here
after. The document was found by James
DAILY, of the firm of DAILY & Rodgers, lum-
Der merchants, San Buenaventura.
"San Buenaventura, Sept. 8, 1862"
That the document referred to above
NAV have been found on the beach at San
Buenaventura, in bottle or otherwise, is
entirely probable; the next question re-
lates to its authenticity and value. So far
as its contents are given by our cores
pondent, they tell us nothing but what
McClintOck's voyage discovered as long
ago as in 1859, in relation to the abandon
ment of the Erebus and Terror, except
that the records found by Mr.. McClintock
nut the date of the abandonment in April,
iS4S. and did not say Sir John had died.
The person who found the document, If
he believes il is not hoax, will send it to
the British Consul in this city, and tran
scribe its full contents for publication.
Meanwhile we give his statement for what
it is worth. Possibly some ingenious wag
has taken a hint from Hugo's LHomn'e qui
Rn, the plot of which turns on the dlscov-
ery of bottle containing wonderful
revelation, twenty years after it had been
thrown into the sea by sinking crew.

Senator Spraguc, of Rhode Island, is
said to be the largest employer in the
United States. He gives work to about
eight thousand persons, and it is stated
has recently raised their wages about 10
per cent.

The Pal Mall Gazette infers from the
length of the patent lists in Paris for the
last quarter, "that the French are becom

cans"
The Plymouth Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1869-1941, 1869-10-07

A YOUNG lady returning late from a
concert, as it was raining, told the coach
man to drive close to the sidewalk, but
was still unable to step across the gutter.
"I can lift you over, miss" said coachy.
"Oh, nor' said she, al am too heavy"
Lord bless you, miss ~ replied he, / am
used to lifting barrels of sugar!"

becanse the traffic of the Island is not
sufficient 10 encourage low rates of transportation
and vet the communication on the Sortsnslde Road,
from New.York to Freeport IN miles, is only $75
per year while on the Long Island road from New
York to sineola 10 miles, = is $1A for COO tickets
.,cn good for one ride. This does not include
ferriage which is $S8 per year from Jamess Slip to
the Long Island depot, and $1S from the foot OF
Rooseveltst to the depot of the Southsde Railroad
II should be borne in mind that the street carfare
from the City Hall to either of the uptown depots in
New-York amounts to $50 each year, allowing GOO
rides
Fully half an hour is occupied in reaching the
stations. OF course the railroad companies are
not responsible for this. The public does not expect
them to carry passengers for less sum- because they
are put to an additional expense in getting to the de-
pots, neither does it expect them to charge more
which they seem to do
It is high time that this matter were taken
in hand and justice secured. Little IS looked
for in the way OF voluntary advances FROM
monopQlies Of any kind. and Pg9h less from
railroad corporations but it is expected that the
people will be prStected In their rights The rail-
road companies of New-Jersey deserve great credit
for the enterprise they haYe shown by running ne
ouent trains and encouraging settlements aops their
lines, anu III WOulu DC Wei IL fS'' Va AN''N'
ON this side of the Hudson would take like interest
in the public welfare The present rates of commu-
tation on the New Haven Long Island, Harlem, and
Hudson River Railroads are exorbitant and particu
larry so on the three roads last mentioned.
The following table gives a list of all the stations
to which Communication tickets sold. with one or
two exceptions on all the various Railroads leading
out of NewYoYk Also the distances, rates OIL COM
mutation and the number of trains leaving for New
| York each day. The names of the stations are ar
ranged in the order of their distances from the CITY,
The Staten Island and Flushing Railroads may be
found elsewhere in separate tables. The rates for
single tickets over the Staten Island road are so low
that little is gained in buying yearly tickets. The
Communication on the Raritan and Delaware Bay road,
running from New-York to Long Branch. Toms River,
Manchester. &c, is cheaper than Oh any other road
The number of trains per day. as given in our
tables is small since many of those which ran during
the Summer months were withdrawn at the begin
ming of the Winter
Since the above facts compiled, tickets on the
Long Island road have been issued, good for any

An Important Vote.

of 20 to Is, passed Mr.. Corey's bill
raising the legal rate of interest to lC
per cent, or in other words, making

interest at that rate, legal and valid
This is beyond comparison the most
important vote of the session and is a
vote that the enlightened public senti.
ment of the State will fully and EN-.
phatiCally indorse.
While the correct policy on this sub,
ject is to remove all legal restrictions,
and allow in this, as in all other matters
of business, absolute freedom to the
contracting parties, still we are thankful
for one step in the right direction. This
attempt to legislate interest down, like
the attempt to legislate gold down, has
been abandoned by all except those to
whom the science of Political Economy
is an unknown science. - Columbus
