IHE FLosD N ST. JoHNsBURY.-We
have received letter from the Messrs.
Fairbanks, stating that the items con-
corning the food in Fairlnk village,
contained in the Vermont Chronicle of
the 23d inst, asserting that little can be
done till spring in that villa -se, and that
the company feels its losses 50 heavily
that it "has asked IT, help to share its
misfortune by giving part of their wages, "
is wholly incorrect Messrs Fairbanks
machinery was stopped by the flood for
about thirty hours only ; and that was all
the time that any of their help" were
out OF employment The company has
not asked any one to share in its losses,
to any extent, and does not propose to.
They have met the emergency with
characteristic energy, and expect to COM
plete the repairs of their building and
dam within sixty days, and when COM
pleted their extensive scale works will be
far more secure against damage by fresh
cts than they have ever been before.

A RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION "As IS

A RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION GAS Is''
A CoNsoLIDATIoN.-W Whether this story
of Chicago man is dream or truth,
it is certainly "a big thing"
Within sixty days you will see the
grandest consolidation of railroads that
the world ever witnessed. The New
York Central, the Hudson, Lake Shore,
Northwestern, st. Paul and Rock Island,
will be one line of railway consolidated
on a basis of 8 per cent. net earnings.
This consolidation line will lease perpetu-
ally the Harlem and Erie roads-the Erie
at 7 per cent. on S1,00O,000, and the Har-
lem at 8 per cent. on S15,OOO,O0O; the
Erie gauge will be narrowed at once to
the gauge of the other lines; her connec-
tions also, the Atlantic and Great West
ern and the Ohio and Mississippi. BY
this arrangement New York will have all
the Western and Southern connections
she will ever want, and at once get fifty
years ahead of the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Penusqlvania roads. New York
Central will be put into this consolidation
at 2i0, Hudson AT 900, Lake Shore at 125,
Rock Island at 175, Northwestern at par,
and ST. Paul at par. | give you the
figures in ronnd numbers there may be
some little changes, but the consolidation
and leases will take place on the above
terms, a have stated, within short
time.

DEATH OF GEORGE w. SToDDARD.-The brief
announcement by telegraph of the death OF
this well known and much beloved gentleman
win, no doubt, be received with heartfelt sor-
row by hundreds of his old friends In this
city. s.o
Mr.. Stoddard came to this city about 1S49,
and almost Immediately became connected
with this paper first as compositor, then as
local and afterwards as news editor, which
last position he held for several years with
distinction. He was native of Pennsylvania,
We believe. and at the time of his death must
have been about forty-one or forty-two years
of age.
AS q journalist he enjoyed high reputation
throughout.the south and west. As man
he was beloved by all who knew him. Hon.
orable, brate and generous, he would at any
time sacri9ce his personal interests for a
friend, drty OF principle.
If his loi was not a fortunate one. and if,
like thousands of other literary men, he at
times expstienced adversely, he, at least never
permitted it to tempt him from the straight
line of integrity.
May his noble spirit rest in peace, and may
aHe who tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb" protect and foster the loved ones he has
left behind.

The Pennsylvania Congressman have held
a caucus and agreed on the division of the
spoils. The representatives are to govern
in districts represented by Republicans and
the senators are to have the say in districts
represented by Democrats. Where Grant
comes in is mystery but the mystery will
probably be solved by the appointment OF
the presidents personal friends, and gentle
intimation to the caucusers that the Office
belongs to Grant, and not to the Republican
party.
