We learn That at the annual meeting Of ST..
Paul Plri IN held GA MONDAY, the propriety Of
ere-tiuE a monument to the memory Of the a.s
Bishop Hopkins was agitated The subject vas
more particularly suggested BY the receipt of a
circular from tie committee who were appointed
in accordance with Resolution which vas
unanimously adopted at the last annual co1yeu-
ZION f tie Diocese Of Vermont, TO see tina, the
work vas duly carried into execution. We DO
not wonder that the Episcopalians Of the State
SHOULD generally desire to give expression In this
form 20 their respect for the eminent abilities
and their gratitude for the long and faithful
services Of the Distinguished prelate who was
not o-ly their frst Bishop but contributed SO
much Go the prosperity Of his denomination DUR
ing lis ep.scopate Of thirty-dve years. 1t is
proposed, We understand, that the monument be
erected IL tai- city, and We hear that the vacant
corner Of the church lot on ST. Paul and Bank

appropriate location could hardly be found. as

The immense operations oi AneiiN"" ~
men in the great pine regions Of Canada, oi late
years, have wrought an entire revolution IN the
business, on both sides of the line This mas
affected especially the lumber trade of Quebec
which has heretofore been the great exporting
point for Canadian lumber; and the Quebec
merchants are asking themselves seriously where
they are coming out if the process goes on
We have before us the last Sc Annual Trade
Review or circular Of the Quebec lumber
dealers, which contains some things worth
noting. It states that the lumber trade with
Great Britain, always unremunerauye, Is last
declining, and that for the first time the manu-
facturer Of lumber has the shipper at advan-
tage, and can control the markell eircum-
stance which it attributes, doubtless truly, to
the fact that the business of manufacturing has
largely passed into American hands, and that
Yankee enterprise and capital are carrying all
before them. The Rerielo says:
If we seek for the causes which have operated
go materially to the advantage OF the maniac
turer and against the shipper this year, ne must
look beyond the mere fact that the supply has
fallen so much behind that Of last year, scarcely
reaching one-third Of what 1t was IN looi' or
INA. Tue oppression IN 1t 5a ,m t @e' s' II

BRpGN1 LAKE CHNiPLAIN.-Ihc Whitehall
CiToaielt understands that a letter has been
received in that village from their Representa-
tive in Congress, stating that Gov. Page Of Yer
mont, Is in Washington, urging the passage Of
40 a., authorizing the construction Of bridge
over Lake Champlain at Ticoulesogl, with some
rrola iIity Of succeeding. The Chronicle urges
the business men Of Whitehall and of the cities
OF Troy and Albany to take Immediate action to
defeat this scheme to divert traffic and travel in
to Vermont. The Troy Times notices the mat
Ter and adds; q" \ bridge ut Ticonderoga would
seriously interrupt the general navigation Of the
axe, while IT would make that place the south
ern terminus Of the steamboats, which row con-
meet with our railroad lines at Whitehall. We
JON our contemporary in urgingour business men
to give this matter their earnest and immediate
attention. We think the Whitehallers and
Trojaus are unnecessarily alarmed. 1t viii
probably take more than bridge-whatcyer
the chances for that may be-to make Ticouder-
oga the southern terminus Of steamboat uayiga-
ton On the Lake.

Independent of public opinion at home, as he
carries the State Of Rhode Island in his pocket,
made a speech in the Senate the other day, in
which he pitched into the lawyers in Congress,
and descanted at great length upon what he
deems the dctatorial power and tyranny of the
Senate. Mr. sprague took as gloomy view Of
the events Of the last few years as ever has been
put forth On either side Of the Senate Chamber:
He said;
l have come to believe that your war has not
been won for the liberties of any class Of peo-
pie; your war that You have just partially
concluded has had no high virtuous principle at
the bottom Of 1t. 1t has had simple contentious

mencing here in this body and permeating
throughout the country.
Did you who now sit ia your seats tell Us that
ibis war was impending? Did you ever tel US
that we were at amy time on the brink Of "A fear
iui CONFUSION. We rushed into that war with
out discipline, without preparation. without
knowledge Of the impending catastrophe. No

sent, of the ruin thar four short years brought

Gov. PAGE AND BRIDGING LAKE CHANpLA1S.
The Rutland Herald Of Thursday morning
publishes the following letter from Gov. Page,
in refItation Of the statement Of the Whitehall
Chronicle that he had recently visited Washing
ton to urge the passage Of an act authorizing the
bridging Of Lake Champaign at Tconderosa:
Mr.. Edii0r:-I notice an item in your paper
Of this morning, taken from the H7hHefaH
Chronicle, which represents, ''that Gov Page
Of Vermont is now in Washington urging the
passage Of an act authorizing the construction OF
a bridge over Lake CAamplain 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 is pending in Congress, it is without my
knowledge It may be necessary to give some
sharp medicine to Whitehall, 10 bring that town
to realize the necessity that it should grant its
aid to the Pittsburgh & Whitehall Railroad
But believe must be excused from administer
ing the dose.
