THE NORTHERN VI. AND CHAMPLAIN
RAILRoAD.-Among the numerous rail
way enterprise in conrse of construction
in our State is the proposed road from
Essex Junction northeast to the Lamoille
Valley. By this road region of coun-
try will be reached, which at present is
entirely deprived of railroad facilities,
and the trade of which, in former years,
contributed largely to the prosperity of
our State. Measures are being taken to
place the enterprise upon a sure basis, and
it is proposed to organize the company at
an early day and take such steps as will
insure its early completion. Mr.. R. T.
Bailey, the able chief engineer of the Ver-
mont Central r. R., has quite recently
made an examination of the proposed
route of the road and his report of its
general features is, we understand, high
ly favorable. ...

CHEsTER.-The Chester correspondent
of the Middlebury Register thus speaks of
Prof. Webber's lecture at that place.
Last week on Tuesday evening few
of our people were favored in hearing
Prof. Webber lecture on "The Puritan
of to-day" 1t was a treat, and such an
one as we are seldom permitted to enjoy.
The speaker in mastery manner analyz-
ed the character of the Mayfiower Puritan,
showing forth in the clearest light its
beauty, yea, its grandeur and sublimity,
and not forgetting its defects. He then
searched among men and classes of men
of the present, for the likeness of those
God-fearing men of old. Did he find
them, perhaps is curiously, doubtingly
asked Yes, but the specimens are too
rare. Garrison, Phillips. Lincoln were
named as prototypes of that individualism
which characterized those older champions
and martyrs of liberty. The radicals are
the true Puritans, dragging along and up
ward the sluggish conservative world.
lie pitled the young man that was a COR
servative, but the old men were excusable.
His comments on, and descriptions of the
fashions of to-day were amusing in the
extreme, though he struck home, l am
inclined to think, with some of his
hearers. The lecturer drew a sad photo
graph of American society, and all remark
how true! Yet there are as many who
dare for the right, and while they man
fully uphold the principles for which our
forefathers fought and died, we can ex-
claim
&C Not wholly lost, Father is this evil world of
ours.'

HISTORY OF VT. CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCHES. The General Convention of
Congregational Churches of Vermont, at
its last session appointed committee to
select a suitable man to complete the
church history left incomplete by tho late
Rev. Pliny Ell. White. The committee,
after careful examination, recommended
that Rev. Azel W. Wild, of Greensboro,
take the work in hand, and they ask for
him the confidence and cooperation of the
ministers and churches. Those who were
in correspondence with Mr.. White can aid
Mr.. Wild by placing at his disposal ma
terials already gathered. 1t is hoped that
if there is a general effort 10 afford him
assistance in this enterprise, the work may
be completed without very long delay.

MARBLE ENTERPRIsEs.-We learn that
Hon. S. M. Dorr has made a contract for
a supply of blocks for term of years
from the adams and Allen quarry at
West Rutland, and that on the 1st of March
next he will commence wholesale trade
in Rutland marble at Hydeville, Vt, un-
der the firm name of S. M. Dorr & Son.
This new branch of the marble business, in
addition to the Sutherland Falls business,
will make one of large capacity and pro-
duction.
We also notice that Clement Il Son
are building an addition to their mill at
Center Rutland, of the most substantial
character. We see among marble produ-
GERS throughout the town, evidences of
thrift and prosperity, the effect of which
will be seen and felt in the business in
terests of the town so intimately connect
ed with its success.

THE OLD HERO.
THE WHITE FiREMEN PRESENT THEIR RE-
sPECTs TO GENERAL LEE.
A Noble we1c m G.

AS soon as the inspection Of the white fire
companies was over, they put up their apparatus,
and, by arrangement, assembled on Meeting
street and were formed into line, the head OF the
column resting on Market street. After the line
was formed, 1t was headed by Muller's band, and
marched to Mr.. Benefits residence, at the foot
OF Montague street. On arriving there, three
times.three cheers were given for General Lee,
who in O short time appeared on the porch,
and was Justify. cheered the band play
ing Dixie. Chief Engineer Nathan then stated
that the lremen had come to pay their
resuects to the General The FremasIors were
then introduced to the General, and extend
ed to him q hearty welcome to the city. Loud
calls were then made upon General Lee to speak,
but Bon. @. G. Memminger stepped forward anu
stated that the condition OF the Generals lungs
would not permit OF his making speech and he
had deputed him to respond and express his feel
tnps at the compliment paid him. When Mr. Mem
minper ceased the crowd still called upon the Gen.
eral, not to make speech, but only to ''say one
word.n After these calls had continued for seve-
raj moments, the General said: 81 thank you, gen.
tlemen, for the compliment you have paid me.
The reason assigned by Mr.. Memmnger prevents
me from saying more; | can only say, thank you"
After repeated cheers for the General, and
"Dlxien and eBonnie Blue Flag'' BY the band,
the line was reformed, proceeded down town and
dlsbanded. There were not less than two thous-
and persons present, all OF whom united In pay
ing their respect to their loved chieftain.
