As Morrisvile reports big shot, Hyde

eight skunks a short time since, all at

of these sweet little fellows had not been

Again--it seems that to Hyde Park
really belongs the honor and distinction Of
the pleasant little shooting affair which
we related week or two ago, ana that

that not only is jealousy the'rage Of a man.
but Of a woman also. Mrs. Manly Brown
continues TO be laboring under the uukind
idea that her husband is unduly attentive
to d neighboring "widder," and makes the
whole ncighborhood around her uncomfort-
able with her examinations, complaintsand
threats upon her poor innocent lord. A
weeI; ago last Saturday night, Mr.. Brews-
ter's family were aroused by "Manly's(0"
cries for help, coming over the sweet La
noble. Almost simultaneously with Man
ly's voice, came another, feminine voice,
saying that he did not want any help-he
was only -, here using a very un-
pretty term. Mr.. Brewster's family con-
Guided not to interfere, but Manly's re-
ports Of his sufferngs which he made the
next day made them repent Of their indif-
ference. Five times, he affirmed, she
came at him with butcher knife. Five
sine she treni, rid rici!' Five times
was poor Manly compelled to seek safety
in inglorious flight from the rage of this
avenging Nemesis. We understand
that the amiable Mrs. B., having failed
in her clever little attempt to butcher her
lord, has now concluded to seek redress al
the hands of justice in the courts. We
have no doubt the court will grant any
prayer she may make.

THE RAILROAD,

Messrs. Brigham & Hendee attended a
meeting Of the Franklin County Directors
holden at Sheldon on Friday last, return
ing on Saturday night, and Immediately
departing for the Crawford House in the
White Mountains Notch. where, to-day, a
meeting of all the Directors in Maine and
New Hampshire, and a large delegation
from Vermont is being held. We are re-
quested by the President of the Lamoille
Valley R.R. to invite the people to come
to the annual meeting at this place on the
10th inst.
We clip the following from the Port
land Daily Press Of the 3Oth ult 1t

ers can be assured that, croakers or no
'croakers, the directors do not intend to
allow the grass to grow under their enter
prise, 'lrought with such important con-
sequences" not only 10 Portland, but to

CRoAKERs BROUGHT TO GRIEF.
The managers of the Portland and Og-
densburg Railroad have been SO busiy
engaged of late in examining the surveys
made by their engineers and preparing to
put the road under contract, that they
have had no time TO bestow upon those
persons who from some reason. interested
or otherwise, have endeayored to cast dis
credit upon the enterprise. The efforts OF
these nacontentS, however, have been
perfectly futile, the public having long
since been convinced on the best possIb e
grounds that the success CT the road was
assured. Ii there are any who have not
shared that confidence, "Syphax,' the
Portland Correspondent CT the Boston
Journal for instance, the advertisement
that appears in another column will per-
haps aid them i'll forming for once just
conclusion. So
After full and careful examination of
all the proposed routes, that portion of the
road from Portland to Sebago Lake has
been located: starting from some point
near the Forest City Park, il rum in an
air line to Cumberland Mills, and crosses
the Presuinpscot river between the Mills
and Saccarappa, running up on the east
side of the stream, touching at Mallisons
and Little Falls, to a point between Gam
DO and Leavitt's; thence to the foot Of
the Lake. sH aa
Proposals for grading and for masonry
on this part Of the route will now be re-
ceiyed. For an enterprise that - has
ceased to occupy public attention." and
which is in fact moribuud, as its enimes
would have US believe, this is surely a
singular proceedingl .|"
Thus at last the great work fraught
with such important consequences TO the
city and to the State, is begun. Some
time must elapso before its completion,
and then further period must intervene
before its benefcent effects will be enjoy
cd. ,#
But the enterprise is one in which our
people are so much absorbed, and one
from which they reasonably anticipate such
material growth and prosperity that even
the beginning that has been matte win Ia"
no inconsiderable effect in encouraging
them and stimulating them to new business
enterprise.
1t is gratifying to observe that matters
at the Vermont end Of the luo.are also
in an encouraging state, aud that the pre-.
liminary arrangements for beginning woll,
on the I.amoille Valley road are nearly
completed"

An examination of the dam across the
outlet Of North Pond, and an explanation
of the manner of its construction satisfies
us that it will not 60 out, as many here
apprehended. There is no probaba5lity
even if the bukhead should give way, that
it cou d ever wash the solid stone bottom
out. so that, at the worst. only I've or SIX
feet of the pond could go off; and there is
no danger that even this will take place.
We noticed no new buildings in pro-
gress this season, though some repairs are
going on in farm buildings, and the usual
brushing up ofold building is taking place.
