OF the Legislature allowing the company
TO- take land in Fitchburgh for depot
and for other purposes, authorizing the
purchase of The Turner'S Falls Branch
Railroad, and the issue of bonds for the
same, and authorizing the Vermont and
Massachusetts, and Cheshire Railroad
Companies to construct tracks on the line
of their railroads, and for other purposes,
were severely accepted.
The obi ect of the last-named act is to
permit the STRENGTHENING of the road at
some p oint near the junction at Ashburn-
ham, which will do away with the neces-
sity for turning the trains at that point
which is the cause of so much delay and
ann oyance at present. Several plans by
which this can be accomplished have been
proposed and are under consideration, but
it is not expected that any immediate
action will be taken by the companies
The prospective completion of the Hoosac
Tunnel renders it necessary, however,
that some plan shall be adopted before
many years, and the DEVIATION of the dis
agreeable shifting of seats at Ashburnham
will be joyfully welcomed by all travellers

A CARD.-Our thanks are terms wholly
inadequate to express the emotions of our
hearts at the long continuance Of neigh
.borly sympathy and professional solicit
tude during the protracted and painful
sickness of myself and wife. But what
can we say, surprised as we just now are,
with the spectacle of more than one hum
dred names to kind and complimentary
expression of sympathy and respect pre-
scented to US by one of the number, ac-
companied by three hundred and ninety
dollars in money, attesting the genuine
ness of the sentiments subscribed
Timely as is the material boon, and
valued to its minutest fraction, the mex
pressible gratitude of our hearts are more
deeply stirred by the so comforting assur-
ance that our laborious and humble life
has not cost us obscurity or neglect. This
precious roll of names, and others as deep
ly inscribed upon our heart of hearts,
will ever cheer and comfort US in life,
and we trust remain as a reward upon
which our children can look with graft
tude and pride.

THE Crops IN VERMoNT-The st.
Alaaus Messenger, speaking of crop pros
poets in the State Of Vermont, says that
in the northern portion the hay harvest
is about ten days backward and the crop
is still growing fast. The yield where
the hay has been cut is just about an
average. The reports from other parts
of the State are to the same effect. On
dry hill farms it was supposed the wet
season would cause heavy growth, but
it is now found that the excessive drouth
of last summer injured the roots. On
low lands it has been supposed that the
heavy and frequent rains would prevent
the growth of good crop, but it seems
that in most places they have only delay
ed it. The prospect for corn is very dis
couraging. An even piece is almost i'm
possible to find, and in the best places it
is rare that the growth has attained two
feet in height. A warm season and late
fall, neither of which are indicated, are
all that can give even middling yield
OF corn, but sowed grains are looking very
well, and SO of fruit It was feared ear
lier in the season that some of the late
spring frosts had injured the fruit pros
pect, but present indications favor an
abundant yield of nearly all varieties.

THE RUTLAND HERALD.
SATURDAY, JULY II, 1869.
The New Gable.


With the exception of the "opinion OF
Attorney General Hoar, and the letters
addressed to the French and British Min
lister by Secretary Fish, no action has been
taken by the government to prevent the
landing of the French cable on the coast
of Massachusetts,. Secretary Boutwell,
has not, as reported in some quarters, or
dered United States revenue cutter to
proceed to the point where it is proposed
to land the cable ON the United States
territory, and prevent it, nor is it likely
that such course will be pursued. The
matter was pending in Congress at the
adjournment, and it will probably be left
with that body to settle it. Secretary
Fish considered it his duty to place the
French Minister in possession of the facts
so far as the action of our government has
been developed relative to the landing of
the cable, SO that he might inform his
government of the risk it must run in
attempting to land the cable on United
States territory without authority from
Congress.
The following is the substance of the
communication of the Secretary of State,
copies of which have been addressed to
the French and British ministers at
Washington, and the Governor of Massa-
ohusetts, relative to the proposed landing
of the cable at Duxbury:
Al
origin and proposed course of the cable
company in landing the cable on the
American coast, the Secretary states that
it is not doubted by the government that
the complete control of the whole subject
is with ithe government of the United
States, and that, however suitable State
legislation on the subject may be in re-
spect to its proprietary rights, in aid of
such enterprises, the entire question of
the allowance or prohibition of such
means of foreign intercourse, is under the
central national government
The cable company, not having received
or awaited the permission Of the govern
ment to the establishment or use of such
cable connection, the Secretary considers
it proper to call the attention of the diplo-
matte representatives. of the two nations
interested, to our position on the subject.
He notifies the diplomatic representatives.
of France and Great Britain that in the
absence of the assent to or concurrence Of
the government of the United States, the
proceedings of parties interested must be
taken i'll submission to the authority of
the government in the premises The
Secretary further states that the policy of
the government in regard to the allow
anceland regulation of foreign telegraphic
intercourse, has Freceived deliberate con-
sideration from Congress, and that bill,
to cover the whole subject, was passed in
the Senate, but at so late a day in the
session that the House of Representatives
failed to reach it,
He says: at is quite probable that this /
bill announces the policy and purpose of
Congress, and the propriety of its provi-
sions can hardly fail to assure assent"
He therefore calls attention to the bill as
a probable evidence of what conditions of /
permission and of regulation of foreign
Geographic intercourse are to be insisted
upon by the United States
