Mr.. D. G. Auditor, at the crossing about
one-half mile this side of the Mt Holly

coming, endeavored to back them off the
track, but did not succeed. The engine
struck one Of the horses, killing him, and
somewhat damaged the sled.

Governor Page and Bridging Lake
Champlain.

III. ktttt0r II notice an item in
your paper of this morning, taken from
the UHitet0H Uronicle, which represents,
{" that Gov Page of Vermont is now in
Washington urging the passage of an act
authorizing the construction of bridge
over Lake Champlain at Ticonderoga with
some probability of success 1t is true
that have been in Washington, but that
went there to urge the passage of any
bridge bill is not true. The subject was
not mentioned by me to. any one while
at Washington. If any bill for a bridge
over Lake Champlain is pending in Con-
.ress, it is without my knowledge. 1t may
be necessary to give some sharp medicine
TO Whitehall, 10 bring that town to real
ize the necessity that it should grant its
aid to the Plattsburgh x Whitehall Rail-
road But believe | must be excused
from administering the dose.
