CABINET CHANGES.

The certainty that Congress would
not repeal the laws in tho way of Mr..
A. It. Stewart being Secretary of the
Treasury has induced President Grant
to withdraw his recommendation and
rendered Mr.. Stewards retirement
necessity. The President has informed
Speaker Blaine that he will appoint
Mr.. Boutwell, to the Treasury. This
will lead TO the resignation of MIR. HoRr,
as Attorney General, and it is reported
that position will be rendered to Judge
Edwards Pierrepont or Lyman IRE
maine of New York.
This turn of affairs will we think be
agreeable to the country. Mr.. Bout
we'll is an able and pure man, and one
whose public services merit this recog-
milton. The expediency of putting
into this position a man of such great
wealth, one having such large inter
ests in free trade and such inevita bic
sympalhies in favor of the wealthy i'm
porting classes as against the strug-
Cling manufacturing interests of the
country, is in our judgment very
questionable in times when all parties
concede stiff protective policy essen
tial to the financial success of the Gov
ernment. 1t is fortunate we think for
the manufacturing interests Of the
country that Grant has been constrain-
ed to withdraw u man whose influence
would have been so powerfully against
them,

The Wateiville (Me.) Mail relates n
story which is not without many prece-
dents, as showing how easily men may
be led by circumstances to entertain
unjust suspicious concerning their
neighbors. Twenty-Five yearsag there
lived in the town of Clinton, Maine, a
man named Bryant Fly. a certain Mr..
Allen went fran Vermont to buy Fly's
farm, and the two went to Augusta, the
former with considerable money and Il
watch in his pocket, for the purp ose of
having the conveyance drawn, Fly re-
turned home with the money and the
watch in his possession, but Allen was
never heard from again. The mail con-
tinues the narrative as follows:
In time, letters Of inquiry came from
his relatives in Vermont to pe.sons in
this vicinity, and the account detailed
by Fly was sent to them in reply. The
circumstances were calculated to excite
suspicious, though we do not know that
the preyiaus character OF Fly had aided
them. From day to day the story went
from neighbor to neighbir, and from
town to tOWn-With such decorations,
true or false, as were known or surmised.
Everybody who lived within the cir
cumstances OF the wonder at the time,
rs child or adult, will remember having
listened to the story of the murdered
Allen. In time it wore out, as such
things do now and rs it had never been
shown that there had been murder,
of course there lad been nearest OF the
murderer. Years afterWard Fly died in
his bed rs other men do,
But now comes the revelation for
the sake of which we have called up the
ghost of this almost forgotten wonder.
At the time of Figs death "A young man
named j. Il. Farnsworth, now Col,
Farnsworth, of Iowa, lived in Clinton,
and was familiar with the thousand
and-one stories about the murder. In
deed he was at the death bed of Ely.
Going afterwards to the far West, where
he settled, business led him several
years, later, away up to Fox Lake,
in Wisconsin. Here he stopped at a
tavern kept by Mr.. Allen, and was de-
tanned several days by storm.
Talking one day with the landlord,
ie spoke of his former home in Clinton,
Me-, when Mr.. Allen inquired if he
knew man named Bryant Fly-and
the conversation at once brought forth
the whole story of the murdered Allen.
The landlord was Il nephew OF the muir
dered man. He lived in Vermont at
the time and shared III all the excite.
ment about his lost uncle. but, " said

The Rutland Courier is informed from
good authority that the managers of the
Vermont Central Railroad, as well as
the people of Bethel, Stockbridge, and
Pitsfield, are preparing to make an
early survey for railroad from Bethel
to Rutland on very feasible line of
route, that will make the whole distance
from Bethel to Rutland only thirty-two
miles. The lire of route, we under
stand, will be from Bethel to Pittsiield
village, thence westwardly on the nor
thern side of the mountain that lays
north of "New Boston," and sweeping
round to the south via the " Greenieaf
Place. and "Slab City" striking the
route of the Rutland & Woodstock road
n little south of the residence of Hiram
Baird, Esq, at Chittenden. The par
ties interested intend applying for a
charter at the next session of the Legis-
laturc. The Courier further says: We
know we speak the sentiment of the
that if, from any cause, railroad con-
nection is defeated between Rutland and
Woodstock, via Chittendcn, then give
us connection with Bethel over the
proposed route as cithcrwill penetrate
Il country now deprived of railroad IA
cilities, and which will open new ave
nues of business to this place and give
us better facilities to reach Eastern Yer
mont and the Capitol of the state.
Every town along the route from Cor
inth to Montpelier was well represent
ed at the meeting of the Montpelier u
Wells River Railroad Association, held
on the Goth ult., at Washington. The
contemplated route, commencing at
Montpelier, runs through Barre, Orange,
Washington Corinth, and Topsham to
Wells River, in Newbury. The Brad
ford Opinion says that the importance
of road from Montpelier to connect at
Wells River, is far beyond q local ben
eft, and l. recognized by the great
thoroughfares east and west of u.s. BY
its construction, and the construction OF
a short link to connect the Boston, Con-
cord g. Montreal road with Portland, q
new thoroughfare is opened between
Ogdensburg and the seaboard and at q
less expenditure of time and money
than by any other route. And Portland
is ready to aid this road in preference to
the Woodstock route.
Taking all things into consideration
it thinks the road will be built, sooner
or later, and if the project of running il
through the towns named III Orange
county can be carried into effect, it will
develop the latent resources ard produc-
tiveness of the northern part of the
county beyond what anything else can
The Association voted to raise money
by towns or otherwise, for the purpose
OF making survey of this route, and fol
other incidental expenses, and constitu'
ted the Vice Presidents Of the Associa
ton committee to take such enclosures
in the several towns to which they be-
long as shall best secure the object.

Tome Cith0Ht a Mother.

What is a home without Il mother
What are all the joys We meet
When her loving smiles no longer
Greet the coming OF our feetY
The days seem long, the nights are drear1
And time rolls slowly en-
Aud oh, how fcw are childhood's pleasure
When her gentle care is gone.
Thing, We prize are first to vanish
llvarts we love to pass away.
And how soon, cen in our childhood,
We behold her turning gray
Her eyes grow dim, her steps are slower
Her joys of earth are passed,
And sometimes ere We learn to know her,
She brcathcd on earth her last.
Older hearts may have their Sorrows
Grief that quickly dies away
But mother lost in childhood
Grieves the heart from day to day
We miss her kind, her willing hand,
Her fond and earliest care,
And oh ! how dark is lite around us
What is home without her there
