Its gross earnings in 1856 amounted to

pany was sold, bid in by the second mort
gage bond holders. and after nine years of
floating existence, it took the shape of the
Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain Railroad
Company, by conversion of its bonded
debts into stock-the original stock amount
ing to $1,771,436, and $644.3S0 floating
debt being wiped out by this sale. The

A Fine Organ.

An organ has just been procured for
the use of the chapel Of the Catholic
church in this place, which, for fine,
round and full organ tones, we venture tc
sr-ili- osyssss--,eiJr|I trsc:.l-I III ls {,
double reed Instrument, with u manual
sub-bass, octave coupler, knec-swell and
six stops, including the tremolante, and
the case is Of finely carved, solid black
walnut, and considerably larger than the
organ cases OF most other manufactures.
The organ was procured through the agent
at this place, Mr. s. s. Becnlan, OF the
manufacturers, Messrs. PeIoubet, Pelton
q Co., S4l Broadway, New York, and
was paid for with money derived from
the fair given by the church in january
last, 1t Is no small recommend for this
organ to say that it was compared side by
side with other organs, before purchase
and that not only Dir. Smith, the accom-
.plshed organist of the church, but COM
nlittee of musical persons gave it decd-
ed preference, Its tones bear the closest
resemblance to those of pipe organ that
we ever heard. and its volume is but lit
tie inferior. Sometime the past winter
the manufactory of Messrs. Pcloubct,
Pelton d Co.. was burned, but they are
now building new one that will be Gu
pable Of producing from two to three thou
sand instruments per year, and thus ena-
bic them to supply their increased de-
mand. Mr.. Beeman has sold several of
these instruments in this place, besides
quite a number in the country around,
and we are told that in every instance
they give the most perfect satisfaction
st. Atbans Messenger.
The Peloubet organ is the instrument
which Rev. j. d. Beeman has sold so
many of in this county. They arc a high
ly finished instrument and have fine
quality and great power of tone. We
understand that Mr.. Becman will continue
to act as agent for Lamoillc county. 70
any who desire fine instrument, at the
lowest living rate, we say call on or ad-
dress him at Stowe, vi. aa,4.he tI.

will make an efficient and reliable officer
While he will look after, the Interests o.

obnoxious creatures enough at the best,
but when they add an overbearing and
insolent disposition, and spirit of oppres-

is quiet and sober man-honest and ca

and impartial. If these qualifications dis
parage him in the minds of a few, we feel
confident they will commend him to most
of our people. We congratulate him and
the public upon his acquisition of the place,
and trust he may SO serve as to have our
respect when in the order of human, fed

to submit to the wholesome and inevitable
law of rotation.

Fruit Trees.

Mr.. Cobleigh started for the Shipman
Nurseries yesterday morning, to take the
delivery of q large lot of tr@@--''-"''-.e''p y
parties in this county. He gave notice
last week of the time he expected to be
able to deliver them in the several towns,
but wished us to add that should it rain
to-day at the nurseries the trees could not
be billed until the storm was over He
said this in view of the storm which was
prevailing at the time he left on Monday.
Those interested can watch the weather
and govern themselves accordingly. Some
parties are fearful that it is little late
to set trees this season. Several Of the
trees which we set last year were in BIOS
som when we took them from the nursery,
and Notwithstanding they were set on
very dry, sandy soil, and had no mulching
through all the terrible drouth of last
summer, and ought in all reason to hay"
died, they are as clipper as the birds this
spring. They wintered splendidly, and
start out this spring as if they meant to
have fine growth. Last fall we banked
them up with barnyard manure, and it
proved perfect protection against the
mice not tree was nibbled; and
though several were completely covered
with the snow, we have not seen broken

care in setting your trees, and protect
them from tie borers, mice, etc, you

A large number of Republicans from

Among them are many members of the
Legislature, A desperate attempt was
made at Maynesborough on Sunday last

ing Elder Of the Methodist Church. He
had preached there and had induced a
number Of colored people to renounce
their allegiance to the Methodist
Church South, and join another church.
A gang of Ku-Klux planned his
death and picketcd the road from his ho-
tel to the depot, but a colored man guild
cd him across the fields and voluntary
guard Of colored men accompanied him.
Upon his arrival at the Depot, pistols
were pointed al his head. Death seemed
certain, but the firm stand taken by the
co(orel people saved bis life. The only
citafgo against him vas that hc was a
radical. nf1 dr9L igua1'lnea 1fl
