A late number Of she Troy Buagsi speaks as
follow. of tire results of the controversy between
the Troy IS Boston Railroad anl Mr. Park
Several Il the oV,v wise men OF Troy prophe-
ciei tha, Bcuninr-on'- Park Wouii be ruinei in
his attempt % build the Lebanon Springs Rail
road. Taes prorhec.ei that it never would he
tuil. They proohc..ci thlt the towns bonded
in Vermont wauii Dee compelled TO pay the bonds
and that this would come near iankrupung some
of such town. All these croasers proved to be
blind guido, ali false prophets. The Lebanon
Springs Railroad has been built, and will soon
commence running through trains, making close
connections. between New York and Montreal
Parties have come forward aud offered to take up
ali the town bonds, issued for the constructions;
Of the road, taking therefore the securities
which the towns held against the railroad We
believe IN fact tbi- has been done, and that the
town bonds have been cancelled. And Troy, by
following the lead Of its blind guides in cutting
of its railroad connections with Vermont, has
lost its oldest and best customers, and has aided
to construct a rival road that will serve as
cut off against Troy, sending the current Of
travel that formerly came to and through Troy,
in other directions. The connection now Afford
ed by Troy and Boston Railroad is utterly IN.
worthy Of the name Of railroad connection. Il
is a One-horse train once day, ach way to and
from the Vermont line, where passengers are
compelled 10 change ears, and are subject TO
other petty annoyance Our Troy railroad
magnaies seem blindly determined to force the
building Of another railroad which shall act a
cutoff TO Troy travel When the blind lead the
blind they viii both fall into the ditch together.

tions received and published from the pens Of
men, distinguished IN the fashionable world,
who conceived it to be a wonderful honor to
appear among those patronized by the Amer
ican's good will.
The American possessed powerful rival in
the Commercial Advertiser while under the
management of Col. William L. Stone, for
those two journals, with the .COurier and En-
gtarer, were regarded by the people at large
as the most influential of the blanket sheets
as the Wall street journals were contemptu-
ously styled after the introduction of the
penny press Col Stone had always taken
prominent part in local matters, and as he
was man Of intelligence and honest in judg
ment, his opinion was usually treated with
more than ordinary respect. During the
Morgan excitement he composed his - Let
ters on Masonry :" subsequently during the
sensation created by the revelations adduced
upon the trial of Matthias, he produced very
elaborate history of that extraordinary impOs-
tor. with speculations a. to the religious
and moral causes whereby families Of wealth
and intelligence could be induced to engage
in the most impiOus and obscene ldOlatry.
When Maria Monk published her pretended
experience at the Hotel Dieu Nunnerv, at
Montreal, the Colonel was among the fore
most to detect the imp1sture, nOtwithstand-
ing the asseveration of Parson Brownlee. and
Of other Protestant clergymen bearing te-ti
mony 10 the truth Of her story. To make
certain the rectitude Of his assertions the Col
ouel iouneyed 10 Montreal, where heperson-
ally investigated the localities designated in
Maria Monk book. The result ofhis lab0rs
conclusively demonstrating the correctness OF
his hypothesis, the editor of the Commerciqi
arose high in public estimation for his ardu-
0us researches into matters perturbating the
popular mind, which position remained un-
shaken until he yentuved inl0 the mazes OF
mesmerism and clairyoyance, wherein he be-
came mvstied by the unaccounta Ole perform

The Bell Tower.
Sailed is the tumult Of the day,

Sailed Is the tumult OF the day.
It's glaring sun has dropped away.
And in the pause 'twixt day and night
Our thoughts wheel home from giddy flight.
Like yonder swallows, whom this hour
Brings back to haunt the old church tow-r.
And there, against the sky, the bell
Stands slantwise, dropping out knell
Across the graves, for one more day
80 htely born, now dead as they
Who sleep beneath the mellow chime
mat once, for them marked passing time.
Oh bell thou liftst fitting voice
10 help young weddei folk rejoice,
Or chant grand pathetic strain
As dust returns to dust again;
And now the tints Of earth and air.
The hush and sweetness everywhere
Too subtle for our speech to we'll,
Find utterance in thy slow. long swell.
Some wanderer from an unknown shore
Where music chimes iorevermore
In never jarring harmony,
| think must dwell, a soul in thee.
And when the moon behind thee passes
And paints thee, black, on silvered zrasses,
A peal too fine for mortal ear
The shadow rings for stars to hear.
