Oswego to the Niagara River, would be
used, so that, east of Canada, there would
not be much, if any, more than two
hundred miles to be built. A new route
is proposed, however, from the Niagara to
Detroit, as well as from Detroit to Chicago,
for which latter there might seem to be
no immediate necessity.
Such is, in brief, the railway project by
which the city of Portland proposes to
place itself in direct connection with Chi
cago, the commerce of the Northwest GEN.
tering here, and with the lines of railway
leading from this city to the Union Pa
cifc. Portland is agitated upon the sub.
ject, and is determined to make the pro-
iect an early and great success.
The success of this scheme, if Portland
should adopt the progressive spirit of
Chicago. would result in leaving New
York, so far as an international receiving
commercial depot is concerned for foreign
trade, on switch. 1t would not be on
the main track. But even if it should
not be so for many years to come, 1t is
certain that Portland, in the Portland,
Rutland, Oswego, and Chicago railroad,
has hit upon scheme for continental
thoroughfare, whose practical realization
would make the great city of Maine a
commercial metropolis of immediate
greatness and future power. We trust
the capitalists of Portland will not cease
their labors in behalf of this great scheme
until it is among the accomplished facts
of an era which has accomplished not a
few things requiring much more money
and enterprise than this will require,
without being intrinsically or prospect
lively more valuable to the trade and COM
merce of the world. We must go to
Portland in few years as easily as we
now go to New York, without change of

CHINESE SCHooLs.-Rev. E. Went
worth, D. d., well known in this county
as teacher formerly in the old Troy
Conference Academy, at Poultney, de-
livered lecture on Monday evening last,
before the Pittsfeld Mass Scientific AS
sociation, his subject being Chinese Lit
erature and Customs" in which, natural
ly, the subject of education came. He
described the Chinese system of schools at
some length. They have the common
school, the county academy, the capital
academy, and the empire academy, and it
not unfrequently occurs that out of 500
who pass the common schools, not over
300 finally graduate at the empire, or
highest school of the Chinese, SO strict
are the examinations

Among the arrival in party of emf
grants at the Hannibal & st. Joseph De-
pot yesterday was Hans Beauman, from
the old country, direct. At the depot,
when he stepped off the cars, he met his
wife, who received him with open arms
and tears of Joy once more being united
to her "frst love" The circumstances of
the separation and the reunion are full of
interest In 1862 a Mormon preacher
went through Germany making proselytes
to the Latter Day Saints, and among
them were a brother-in-law of Mrs. Beau
man, and his wife. Mrs. BIS sister. By
persuasion they succeeded in winning
Mrs. B. over to the faith, and, against the
protestations of her husband, she joined
the deluded converts and came out to the
land of Mormons, Salt Lake. Here the
wretched woman found that matters had
been misrepresented, and instead of the
happiness she was promised she found
only misery. After six years residence
in Utah she become heartily disgusted.
The manner of her escape from the
Mormons is not without interest. She
made friend of some overseer of a wag-
on train, and was hid away in wagon
for eight days till the train left to return
to Missouri. 1t was then declared by the
Mormons to be capital ofense for wo-
man to leave the country. She arrived
first at Nebraska City, where she lived six
months, and then came to st. Joseph,
where she has since resided, supporting
herself by her needle, and saving each
year portion of her earnings for sacred
purpose, which was no less than the send
ing for her husband, to whom she had
written, giving information of the cir
cumstances of her escape and claiming
his forgiveness, which was granted. A
few weeks ago she sent the necessary
funds to Germany, and the arrival yester-
day was the response. 1t was a strange
and joyful meeting. A truant wife was
here reclaimed from revolving faith and
reunited to her husband under circum-
stances that leave no room for doubt of
her sincerity and future constancy. We
learn that they intend to remove to Ne
braska City for permanent residence. 1t
is stated the mother of Mrs. Beauman, as
well as her sister, are residents of Salt
Lake, having been converted to the faith
and moved out subsequent to Mrs. Beau
mans elopement.

RUTLAND AND NEW BEDFoRD.-The
Railway Committee of the Massachusetts
Legislature on Tuesday gave a hearing
on the petition of Joel Merriam and 9TH
ers, for charter for a railroad from
Pratt's Junction on the Boston, Clinton
& Fitchburgh Railroad to the town of
Winchendon, on the Cheshire road. The
proposed road is about "a miles in length,
passing through the towns of West Ster-
ling, Westminster and Princeton, and
will afford great facilities to large num-
Der of adjoining towns. The estimated
cost of completing the road is about
$S50,000, and with its connections would
form through route from Rutland to
New Bedford.

The ChampIaln Canal.

Tie Troy Times says that an important
meeting of forwarders, merchants and
business men generally, interested in the
navigation of our State canals, particu-
larly of the Champlain canal, was held at
Eld1edge's hotel, Fort Edward, recently.
The convention was quite largely attend
ed, and the speeches, resolutions, and the
general tenor of conversation all looked
to the speedy abrogation of the contract
system of repairs upon the canals-a sys-
tenn which, while running the canals and
squandering the public money, has en-
riched the contractors and their friends
the lobbyists ard spoilers at the.expense of
the people.
EsE. Davis of Whitehall said that it
was necessary that permanent organiza-
tion should be formed at this meeting to
look after the commercial interests of the
East The immense interests of the
Champlain canal must be protected, and
to d. this and secure the enlargement OF
the canal as those of the West have been
enlarged, there must be an energetic and
eficieat body of working men devoted to
the interests of the East, and who shall
make politics subservient to the trusts
committed to them. He moved the ap-
pointnent of a committee tc report plan
of permanent organization, and also officers
of thesame.
This committee appointed to report
namesto organize plan in the interest
of the Champlain canal, reported as fol-
lows:
Geoge C. Burdett, Troy Lorenzo d.
Collins West Troy; D. Underwood,
George Satterlee, Fort Edward; John
Keenar, Zenas Van Deusen, Glen's Falls ;
E. E. Davis, n. T. Jillson, Whitehall ;
Alexander Barkley, Argyle; David Rice,
Fort Aan; L. J. N. Stark, New York.
The committee recommend that the
name q the organization be called "The
Champain Canal Union" and that the
gentlemen comprising such committee be
authorized to adopt such rules and regu-
lationsas they may deem advisable for
the purpose of effecting the object of the
organization.
A series of resolutions were adopted
looking to the repeal of the contract sys-
TEN, centering the entire management and
control in the Canal Board, and request
ing the New York Legislature to take
early actbn upon the subject. The fol-
lowing resolutions are particularly no.
ticeable:
Resol1sd, That the enlargement of the
Champllin canal to the size of the Erie
is urgertly demanded by the increasing
and important trade between the Canadas
and the United States, and that the re-
building of all the locks on the Cham
plain canal and its feeders not enlarged,
should be done without delay, and that
futare appropriations for the benefit of
this canal should be made with a view to
= permanent enlargement of the same.
ResotUed, That the Legislature and
Canal Board are hereby requested to re-
duoe the rates of toll upon property trans
ported upon the canals as fast as practic-
able, and to correspond with canal improve
ments and a consequent increase in the
business of transportation.-FTee Press.

The Miss referred to above, though a

within a few miles of the Canada line,

on the north. She bounded the State on
the south, first by New York, then, think
ing she might be wrong, changed it to
Massachusetts, and Connecticut. AS for
the western boundary, she was in doubt.

Fort EDWARD MILLINER.-It seems
that the Fort Edward milliner was not
such deceitful mink, after all. A dis
lawyer says that she certainly
has had letters from England informing
her of bequest, and that the subject has
been alluded to in the London Times,
the editor conveying the opinion that the
will was genuine and that Miss Gray
would receive the money. Her friends
consider the chances small, however, and
meanwhile the milliner plies her trade
with wonted contentment.

STATEMENT.
Within half mile of my house there
are fourteen households, containing in all,
including reverend age, stalwart man
hood, youthful bloom and beauty, and so
down through sparkling childhood to the
confines of earliest infancy, fifty persons;
and they stand at the average age of for
ty-fve years. Thirty-three average sixty
two, sixteen average seventy-seven. The
oldest seven average eighty-four, the old
est being ninety-fve. .. e
1t should be remembered that Barnard
was not settled early to any extent, and
that none of her true home born could ex-
ceed eighty years. Barnard's greatness is
yet to come. MOSES L. CHENEY.

is not anxious to compare the ages of her
people with the octogenarians of other
towns. Some months since statement
appeard in your paper, if / reccollect
rightly, of the ages of some seven vener-
able persons residing within half mile
of some spot in Worcester. Connected
with it were some challenging intimations
towards Barnard. Since then, the ques-
tion has occasionally been triumphantly
put, "Why does not Barnard trot out her
old ones, and overshadow the Worceter-
itesP ?"
This is delicate subject. Barnard is
dignifed. Step up and say to Barnard

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-Speaking of the
suffrage amendment now before the peo-
pie of Vermont, the. CaIed0n5dn says :
/" We believe they will and should vote
down the proposition. Nevertheless,
when women ask for suffrage, we hope
the men will be magnanimous enough to
grant their request"
This, of course, comedies the question of
right, as all are compelled to, and leaves
open nothing but the matter of demand.
We are in the habit of doing things in
Vermont because they are right, and not
because somebody does or does not want
them done. If it is right to extend suf-
frage to many women because they de-
mand it it is equally right to confer it
upon one. Questions of expediency all
fuse into harmony in the crucible of
Right, therefore achy should the peo-
pie "vote down the proposition ?"-,St,

MIDDLETowN SPRINGs.-The Middle

waters for the benefit of the afflicted.
Orders for the water come from all Sec
tions of the country, and their results are
surprising in some instances. While some
have made various speculations as to the
result, the fact is now settled beyond con-
troversy that their qualities are such as
afford great relief for a variety of dis
eases. The constant increase of their use
throughout the country, almost to its far
thest extremity, and the great demand
for it, makes it necessary to provide more
accommodations for visitors, and meas
ures are being inaugurated to that end.
All classes and professions make use of it.
