EAToN's GUIDE BooK-During the past few
years there have been large number of guide
books issued for New England tourists, espec-
tally to the White Mountains, lake Winni-
psseoge, &c. We have never seen one in
years past which was the desired "aid to trav
el'-too much space being given to elaborate
descriptions of places, poetry and illustrations
all very well in proper proportions. What
the public want is to know the exact distances,
time tables, fares and such like Information, so
that the cost of trip can be ascertained before
starting, also know how to go and how long it
will take.
Such a book is Eaton's Guide to the Boston
& Maine Railroad, the White Mountains and
all principal points in New England for 1870
1t has no protuse descriptive matter in it,
though giving all that is needed. 1t gives the
following information: Description of Boston
& Maine railroad station, route to Lake Win
nepisseoge, White Mountains and Maine re-
gers, s-ason ticket rules, bag .age rules, local
(single or saason) fares for every station on the
road, condensed table of distances and fares
from Boston to all principal stations on any
connecting roads in New England, summer
and winter time tables for every leading road.
New York time tables, attractions around Bos-
ton, drives, steamers, Boston hotels, street
railroads, &C.; description of every town on
the Boston & Maine, Dover and Winnepissqo-
&c branch, P. S & p, Portland & Kennebac
Grand Trunk, Maine Central, and other roads
is given, stating distance, fare and running
time. On the Maine roads fares and distances
froy nd odJ al al
mont and New Hampshire statistics are given
also.
We observe. however, that the compiler, in
his description of Portland and her railroad
facilities, omits the Portland and Rochester,
which will undoubtedly be corrected in future
editions.
Another grand table is the alphabetical list
of New England towns and villages reached by
stages from various railroad stations with dis
tanees, frequency of trips and stage fares For
instance take the town of "Phillips, Me-
(nearest railroad station) Farmington-(rail-
road) AndrOscoggin-milesf from Pennington
2O-stage, daily-stage fare 81 5O"-another,
ROSS Corner, Me.-Keunebunk-P. s. g.
P.-1S miles-TuesIay, Thursday and Satur-
day-fare 50 OO"-just what is wanted.
The Mt. Washington railway is finely de-
scribed and illustrated.
The book is in handy form in paper covers
with fine steel plate illustrated on the front
page with capital lithographic map, and the
price is only 80 cents.
To the summer tourist and every one inter-
ested in railroads, this book is an indispensa-
BILE companion, especially to those intending to
visit Loke WInnipisseogee aud the White
MOuntains-those charm ing localities.

THE CoNsoquENcE.-Tbe canals of Now

THE New York JuBlLEE.-A dispatch from
New York thus sums up the result Of the Bee
thoven Jubilee:
There is no doubt that the Festival has been
a financial failure. As regards the musical
success of the affair, it must be ever an un-
s-i--A-r--hiAsa- There is no danht that DO
such gathe ring of solo vocalists was ever brought
together, but the manner in which such mate
rial has been used savors strongly of s'claI
trap The idea of having six or seven "stal
teuors" singing solo together may have ap
peared novel one, but the actual performance
was burlesque upon music.
There was no rehearsal. Each singer had
his own tempo, cadenzas, & 3, and sad jumb {
resulted. Tue Hinde aud Haydn Society
| has been the backbone of the choral force. Mr.
| Gilmore has been the leading spirit of the
| whole, and when he has been upon the stage

The New York public have failed to suppor

| ed that it was mistake to attempt anything
| of the character of a musical jubilee in New

TIE THUNDER STORM IN PRovIDENCE.-The
severe thunder storm in Providence Friday
not only did good deal of damage to the streets
but many merchants sustain considerable loss
by the flooding of their premises. The Journal
says:
The cellars on Exchange place, Market
square, South, Water and Dyer streets were
flooded, and many persons will suffer both from
loss and inconvenience. On Fountain and
other streets the water suddenly swelling up
iu the cutters raked off the iron culvertS ard
swept them aside. On Broadway. about Sabin
street, the sidewalk and a portion of the street
are washed away on both sides. Portions of
the north side of Atwelrs avenue are furrowed
to the depth of three feet, aud TO the width Of
five feet The cutters on Hopkins street are
furrowed to the depth of about three feet, and
the dirt has been carried down on South Main
ST. eet SO as to obstruct the passage of the cars.
A tree was also blown down at the corner OF
George and Thayer streets, and the hail stones
broke two windows at the Meeting Street
School House. The sidewalk on Thayer street
from Meeting to Angel is also washed away,
and good deal of damage has doubtless been
done in the outlying streets of the city not yet
ascertained.

Political N0tes.

IT is said that there was considerable oppo
sition to Mr.. Alderman among the very South
err Senators, who were to have been concl
lated by his appointment, owing to his having
been in the rebel army. Several of these gen.
tlemen visited the White House intending to
demonstrate against giving seat in the Cabi
net to man who had to apply to Congress.
last year for the removal of his political disa.
biiities; but the President disarmed the re-
monstrauts by saying that Mr.. Alderman was
eminently worthy and well qualified for the
place to watch he has been nominated. So
enthusiastic was General Grant in his praises,
that not word was said by the Senatorial
visitors in opposition, and the nomination will
doubtless receive the required two-thirds vote
when it comes before the Senate.
