Communicated.

Mr. EDITOR: In your leading tcle of last week the
conduct, if you please, the misconduct, of the So
called nonresident proprietors of Superior is anmad
verted upon with much force and plainness suppose
the persons especially referred to the diseca
bra of the old Superior Company" which asso
cation if am rightly informed, has been for some
considerable time, defunct.
Doubtless your structures in the main warrant
ed by the facts of the case and doubtless there
are those among the gentlemen in question who are
willing to make sacrifices for the common good, and
who therefore would not be obnoxious to your COM
plants
But it is not my purpose to attempt the vindcation
Of any of these but rather to protest against the ap
parently inveterate assumption, that the destiny of
Superior is in the hands of any all of them. From
the Avery House" to Conners Point, is stretch of
territory about three miles in length fronting the
Bay, which affords of the eligible sites IN the
country for large commercial city, and in which if
any member of the late Company" is all interested,
it is to very inconsiderable extent.
With the nucleous of fresh settlement established,
for instance two miles above the hotel, at the
base of Connor's Point, where all railroads might
verge, and where unexcelled commercial facilities
could be enjoyed, and liberal subsidies in lands and
lots be obtained for the endowment of live rail
road company intent practical results it would
seem that afford to let the nonresident pro-
prietors alluded to- stay out of town if they will it.
For too long now, it has been to great damage
represented abroad in moned circles at the East, and
in political circles at Washington that Superior
ssts mainly of the possessions of the nonresident pro-
prietors whose lands environ the Nemadi river.
Let it be advertised that there is Superior which
those parties do not own, and not authorized to
speak for wherein rstclass inducements can be held
capitalists and railroad operators and the de-
velopment whereof would leave in the background
those other interests that have been hitherto Off
ciously and so persistently thrust to the front.
1t should be understood also that there is Superior
consisting of bona tide residents, amounting in number
to about twelve hundred citizens of Wisconsin and loy
al subjects of the United States governments and as
such having claims on our representatives Madison
and Washington, for protection against harbor spola
ton, and Inscriptions endeavers deprive us of our
land grant.

pally to time and position of the two trains

1t seems that the object of the Sherman
Steel Works was to steal money away from
the stockholders of the concern. The Belfast
Journal says that the works are to be eold,
the holders of stock expecting to lose about
fifty per cent. The process for making steel
has proved worthless, for the reason among
others, of the want Of uniformity in the quail
tiles of the steel. Sherman, the inventor,
was lately visited in London by Bucksport
shipmaster. He has money in abundance,
and lives like prince-which cannot be said
of all the holders of stock in the Bucksport
works.

The following resolutions were adopted by
Central Lodge of F. & A, NJ, at their stated
communication held Aug. 80, 1871, suggested
by the sudden death of their brother, Edward
+. Wiggin, who was drowned in China Lake,
August last:
WHEREAS, A very sudden and solemn
"alarm" has been heard at the Coulter Door
OF this Lodge, and by permission of "Our
Supreme Grand Master" the Angel of Death
has entered into sacred retreat and removed
from our "Mystic Circle" our very dear and
tenderly beloved friend and brother, Edward
Z. Wiggin, bringing sadness and deep sorrow
to all our hearts; And,
WHEREAS, By his sudden death we have
lost brother indeed, the community valua-
Bile and worthy citizen, and this Lodge one of
its bright and shining lights one who has been
honortd with every position of trust within
its gift, and who has honored in return every
station he has been called to fill, by his sig.
nal ability, his untiring perseverance, his ant
fitress for his work, and a heart Overlooking
with love and affection for every true and
worthy brother. He was faithful and prompt
in the discharge of every duty. He 'looked
well to the South, the West and the East. "
But his slight is now extinguished; his
record is written; the sound of his Gavel
will no more call us to labor; the sweet tones
of his voice will no longer fall upon our ears /;
the Token" of affection we shall no more
| receive from his brothery hand; his genial
face we shall no more greet in our assem-
blies.-His Father has called him and he has
passed from Earth to Heaven; been trans
lated from this imperfect to that "all perfect
and Celestial Lodge above" where all is love
and JOY and peace; Therefore,
RESOLVED, That under the dark and in
comprehensive dispensation of Providence,
we will bow in trustfulness and humble SUBJ
mission to the Supreme Director of events,
who rules and governs all things in love, and
who is too wise to err. And although our
hearts are severely smtten, we will say, SIT
is WE'LL" Even so, Father, for so it seemeth
good in thy sight.
RESOLVED, That in the urn" of our hearts
we will cherish fond remembrance of his
amiable, discreet and exemplary character;
that we will never sever the tie that has
bound our hearts to his that we will ever try
TO initiate his many virtues and copy the ex-
ample of his beautiful life, so that when our
work is done, our record may be like his,
without spot or blemish,
RESOLVED, That in the deep sorrow of our
own hearts, we tenderly sympathise with the
parents and friends of our dear brother in
their deeper atfliction and more intense sor.
row, which has so nearly overwhelmed them
And our prayer is that they and we NAV eve,
feel that kind Father has done this, ant
that he will direct this sad bereavement t.
their and our highest and best good.
RESOLVED, That this testimonial be entered
upon the records of this lodge. and that a
page therein be suitably inscribed and devoted
to his memory, and that copy of the same

Az ORNANENT no BROADWAY

Broadway, New York, is famous throughout
the civilized world for its numerous mingled
attractions. 1t has upon its almost interim
nable length some of the finest buildings in
the world; and to praise anything short of
grandeur itself would seem extravagant. But
a recent hotel addition has seemingly placed
competition of that sort out of the question.
Where the new Grand Central Hotel rears
its lofty head and palatial front all surround
ing buildings seem to dwindle into insignif-
canoe, while its massive wings cover and
overshadow an entire block. 1t can hardly
be passed without an expression of admira-
ton, and curious strangers have focked in
thousands to see it. In size, splendor, and
perfection of appointments; it has no rival on
the American continent, and we may say since
the destruction ofthe Hotel de Vile in Paris,
it has no superior in the old world or in the
new.
Few papers in the country have neglected
to describe it at length in terms Of praise,
its huge halls and grand exchanges; its suites
of parlors, furnished in Oriental taste and
luxury; its spacious dining halls the largest
in the world; its marble stairways; its richly
furnished apartments, reached by the largest
parlor elevator ever made; its carefully
served tables, and attentive servants, all serve
to develop but portion of its attractions as
model hotel.
Under the able administration of II. LYMAN
POWERS, its courteous proprietor, each de-
partment is made to work in perfect harmony
and system. A guest of his never fails to
esteem him, and to feel at home at the GRAND
CENTRAL. He has shown rare foresight in
fixing his schedule of low price "a complete
innovation upon the rates of other hotels.
The Grand Central is now the fayorite resort
or distinguished Eastern men.

At five o'clock Sunday afternoon, the old
South church in Winthrop was crowded with
people, assembled on the occasion of praise
meeting. The exercises consisted in the
singing of old and familiar pieces from print
ed circulars distributed through the audience,
prayer and remarks by the pastor, the con-
ductor of the services. There cooperated in
the exercises representatives from all the
choirs in the village, Ohe Universalist, the
Methodist and Congregationalist,) members of
the Winthrop Brass Band and the organ.
The service was grand and soul-inspiring.
In rendering such tunes as Duke ST., Coro-
nation and Old Hundred, the brass pieces
came in with fine effect, and added much to
the interest. As a whole the meeting was
especially enjoyable, and as is believed like
wise profitable.

A farmer in Vassalboro' bought one peck
of Early Rose potatoes in the spring of 1863,
and from the first years planting raised what
appeared to be Early Rose potatoes. He
saved one bushel for seed, and planted the
same last spring in the middle of about one
acre of Foot potatoes. The tops were dead
more than two weeks ago, while the tops of
the Foot potatoes are all green at the present
time. He finds on digging that what he sup
posed to be early Rose are some other variety.
Their color is white, and they are altogether
different from the Early Rose.
