Singular Mix.

If We were to judge from the singular
ly discrepant testimony we get as to what
the Rev. Fred Oxnard preached in his
sermon Of three weeks ago, we should al.
most imagine the Rev. gentleman and Il
part of his flock to have been imbibing
too freely.
First, very candid, widc-awake gen.
tleman informs us that he was present
aud heard the sermon; that it consisted
Of rehNsh of the Rev. gentleman's let

ings; and was able to perticularize much
that was said in the sermon. Then we
have letter from the Rev. gentleman bran
ding this very worthy and candid Christian
gentleman's statements as false and SLAM
derOus. " Wicked falsehoodn "Slan-
dcrous !" exclaims the Rev. Mr.. O. In.
decent hog shouts his feminine co-wo-
man s-righter. ." 1t certainly was news
to me that | preached as your correspon-

curiously enough, he says: the article

Miss Catherine Beecher meets my views
precisely" "Shc pursues much the same
line of thought did in the sermon the
attack on which has called out this reply"
Now is this not funny? Miss Beecher's
article was entitled WOMAN SUI
FRAGE CONTRARY TO COMMON
and this distinguished cbampi-
on of Woman's Suffrage pursues much
her line Of thought, according to his own
statement, and then says our correspon-
dent is +" wicked sanderer," because he
asserts that the sermon had anything to
do with the question. "Woman's rights"
says our correspondent; "woman's du-
ties" insists the Rev.'s lady friend, while
the Rev. gentleman himself contradicts
both, or confirms both---just as you like,
by insisting that he preached against
Women's Suffrage in the same line Of
thought as Miss Catherine Beechcr.-

The Musical Convention.

1t seems that seme have got the i'm
preston that the convention to be held al
Morrisyille, on Wednesday, day and cvc.,
is to be more of business meeting of the
Association than sing. Such is not the
truth. 1t is designed, more especially for
singing convention, while it is is prob
able that the subject of future convention
will be canvassed. The particular work
of the day will be to rehearse Morrison's
beautiful festival HYMN. 1t is splen.
composition, of nineteen pages sheet music
size, and will require about twenty-five
minutes in its performance. The hymn,
though beautiful, is not difficult not more
so, at least, than an ordinary anthem, and
can be easily learned in the days drill.
1t is suitable for many occasions, and ev-
cry choir ought to learn it. This hymn
will be performed at the Eve. concert, to-
gether with variety of choruses, quar-
tetts, songs, &c. Little Jenny Wait and
several musical celebrities will be present
to assist at the concert. Concert will
commence at 7 o'clock. Doors open at

The Railroad.

Several have inquired why we have
mid nothing about the Rrailroad for two
weeks past; while several others, have,
as usual, made themselves happy, nc
debut, by giving utterance to stupidity
foolish and wicked surmises.
To the first class we answer that we
have been silent because we had nothing
to say; j. c., we did not feel sure that we
understood the status. To the latter class
il is not needful that We address any re-
marks. They know how we scorn them.
The man who says we have been kept 81
cnt because somebody has been soaring
us, makes himself too inefably an ass to be
worthy of rebuke.
The rumor that Gov. Smith had leased
the Ogdcnsburg road for purposes hostile
TO our road naturally created some ankle
ty. Until we knew the facts we felt we
could afford 10 keep silent. 1t now turns
out that Gov. Smith has not leased that
road, but has made traffic contract with
q it, the precise terms of which we do not
know nor care to know. 1t is enough for
us toknow that it will not affect our road.
The St. Adams Messenger usually speaks
for Gov. Smith, and we give an extract
below showing the view taken in that
quarter. We also give an extract below,
showing how some Of the N. Y. legislat-
ors feel.
Meantime, friends, the work is Co.
! ing right along on our road,-so the
directors assure us without fear or a
batement
Telegraph poles arc being rapidly dis
tributed along the line, and as soon as the
frost is out of the ground, up go the wires.

Captain Edred, which arrived at San
Francisco March J., from Yokohama, ia

which is probably the quickest run ever
accomplished by sailing vessel between
the two ports. She brought full cargo
of fresh teas, consisting of 1000 pack
ages, which will be forwarded to New

This is the first cargo sent across the
continent by rail, and the event demon.
stratcs the wonderful change which is now
taking place in the trade with China and
Japan.
The cargo of the Bencfactress is owned
by Messrs. A. A. Low & Brothers of n.

is nearly bare of Japan teas, this enter
prlsing commercial venture is likely 10 be
a great financial venture.

LEASING THE oGDENsBURG ROAD.

LEASING THE oGDENsBURG ROAD.
eff it we're not too absurd it would be
amusing to notice the spirit in which a
few Of the people in the Northern part of
Franklin comfy look upon and discuss the
lease of the o. & L. G. R. r. to the VT
Central line. We had supposed that tho
yUarousles ana Misrepresentation enter
tanned and fostered by designing men a.
galnst ex-Gov. Smith along the line of
tho Lamoille Valley Railroad were eAec-
taally silenced - sunken of their own
weight, dead Of their own weakness-and
especially did we believe this since with
in two weeks we had been assured by a
director of that road that they did not
consider Gov. Smith their enemy. We
still believe that the officers Of the La
noble road and the more sensible of its
friends are able to sec that the Central
line can help itself without any design or
desire to injure them. But the Eamklin
Journal dated at Swanton, evidently has
little too much dust in its eyes from its
journey from Illinois and New York to
clearly view the field, and though it does
not believe that the Portland and Ogdcns-
burg road can thus be injured or defeated,
We are told in its columns that g the effort
however shows the anmus of the princi.
pal actors in ths subtle scheme TO deprive
the farmers of Franklin and Lamoille
counties of those railroad facilities which
are Of vital Importance to their growth
and prosperity, and should convince them
fully, if they are not already convinced,
that they have no friends in the manage.
meut Of tho Vt. Central r. r., however
oily their words or fatteri'g their assur-
ances."
Perhaps this misrepresentation of the
designs Of the Central managers and of
the Interpretation put upon them by the
people OF Franklin and perhaps Lamoille
counties is as good as we could expect
from abrod but people here at home know
better. Who is it SO prominently as Gov.
Smith, that has labored during the year
past to- increase the railroad facilities Of
Franklin county, What kind Of hostility
to the people is it which induces two or
three men to invest hundreds Of thousands
for the purpose Of laying track within
ten miles OF every mans house in the
couutyf How can the people condemn
the "animas" which moves the managers
Of an important railroad to offer them for
years facilities for transporting their pro-
ducts to market at less rates than are en-
joyed on any other road in the State
What damage can it be to the county to
bring to It from another State consider
able accession to its industry, its popula-
sion and its wealth? Nay more. if the
Lamoile road which is now being built
were the only one which offers increased
facilities to hcpeople Of Franklin and La
noble counties, how can they be damaged
by this lease The same authority that
we quoted above says that there IS con-
tract between the Portland aud Ogdeps.

Major BauIton and DR.. Schultz after
occupying Lower Stone Fort, moved on
Fort Garry with force of 200 Canadi-
ans, English and half-brceds. Not being
strong enough to attack Fort Garry, they
encamped near by. Riell collected 800
men and attacked them. Baulton, find
ing but little assistance to BIO expected
from the settlers, surrendered with 81 of
his men, who we're marched TO Fort Gar

treated to the second Fort.
On the 10Th Riell dispatched 100 men
to attack Schultz. VIM. Gauly, one Of
Schultz scouts, was captured and shot
Later reports say that Schultz had left
the second Fort and was making his es.

wodld not rise, became disguised, left
Schultz and started back with 81 men for

burgh and the Lake Champlain roads for
favorable connections and that the YER
mont and Canada as mere lessees will OF
course be bound thereby. If this is so,
can the new lease injure the Lamoille
road And is it not to be presumed that
the Vermont and Canada managers knew,
before they took the lease, all about the
obligations to which it would be subject =?
Still more, is it not to be supposed that
they knew the laws of Vermont and New
York, which compel and will enforce IA
vorablc connections?
Where, then, is their design to circum-
vent the interests of the people Of this Sec
ton or of any of their schemes? lt is all
the verest nonsense and is found onl y in
diseased imaginations and the narrow cal
culations of few who think they cannot
rise without pulling others down and fancy
that all general prosperity is their indi-
vidual expense. We have had this SOUR
element altogether too prominent in the
political and business projects of the past.
Nothing has been attempted that it has not
denounced, and no success, however fair,
has escaped its vitro stain. But for some
months past it has failed to assimilate the
mass and has been curding and resolving
itself back to its primitive and unwhole-
some salt. The people have seen and dis
believed the falsehoods upon which alone
it fed and the jealousies which afford
ed its only avenues of circulation have
given place to fair and manly convictions
of interest and of right The agitation of
railroad questions has brought enlighten-
ment to US all. BY it we see more clear
w than ever before that neither railroad |
nor people can be independent of each
other but that there is an inter-dependence
between them all which, if faithfully OBJ
served, will inure to the benefit Of all.
By it we see, too, that there is room enough
for all and by it We ought to see that what
can succeed of itself will do 50 in spite Of
and that what has succeeded will
flourish in spite of calumny. The people
have put all this littlencss lehind them
and wherever their location and whatever
their favorite scheme, they will frown up
on this attempt to awaken prejudices which
can serve no worthy end.
