hoped, not very serious accident on Tues.
day. While riding near Salem his horse
became frightened at the approach of a

doctor was thrown from his carriage,
breaking small bonein one of his ankles.
A lady here, (who by the way, is a great
admirer of the surgical and medical skill

eng at it," If the doctor takes this mis-.
hap in the genial way indicated by his
fair aoeH aoisher, he may add his testimony
to that of others who have been similarly
situated to the truth that "sweet are the
uses of adversely" People think that he
takes to his crutches gracefully.

NEW ENGLAND AND OswEGo RAIL,
RoAD.-The Sarat0gian, in speaking Of
the new railroad enterprise, says:
A very large and enthusiastic railroad
meeting was held at Glen's Falls yester-
New England e. Oswego Railroad, and
perfectipg arrangements for its construc-
ton. The grand purpose of the project
is to establish great through route be.
tween Portland and the West, bringing
the inland harbor of Oswego and the
splendid ocean harbor of Portland into
close commercial relationship, and at the
same time supplying another eastern ave.
nue. to receive contributions of freight
and travel from the Northern Pacific Rail
road now in process of construction from
Duluth westward. The project is one
OF huge dimensions, and yet there is no
doubt but the day is fast approaching
when this trans.continental route will
find it's resources taxed to the utmost to
do its share of the carrying for that great
and as yet but partially developed region,
the Northwest The Portland route is in
a measure a rival to the Boston and Hoo
sac Tunnel road, the latter of which it is
hoped will pass through this village, but
it will nevertheless contribute to the vel.
fare of Saratoga by opening an additional
way of access to our village. The Port
land road passes near enough to US to
benefit us in measure.
The meeting at Glen's Falls yesterday
was attended by large number of prom
inent railroad men, and the articles of
association Of railroad to be called The
New England d Oswego Railroad were
drawn. $3.50.
The requisite amount of stock was sub.
scribed and the construction of the road
will be commenced as soon as practica.

The meeting was crowded to it's utmost
capacity in the evening. Strong and en-

If the boys and girls only knew how
much their parents loved and worked for
them, and looked tie them as their Hope in
life, we know they would be more careful
to be good children, and try to be good
men and women This is better than to
be rich and mean, or to live and die in
dissipation. Here was a man at work.
He was happy. Labor had no terrors for
him, but when sickness came to his babe
he was weak as a child. Some of these
days Freddie will grow to be man, and
we hope he will be kind and good to those
who so love him, and who wept when he
was sick. Some boys who have been
loved and cared for while children, forget
the ones who wept and watched over them,
as if they had no hearts, no love for
parents. Hew many of our little readers
will think of Freddie and his little home
in cellar, and be thankful they have
good homes and somebody to take care OF
them when they are sick3 And how
many of them will promise to always be
kind to their parents, and to love them
when they are old, as they themselves
were loved and cared for when children
For each little boy, each little girl in the
land, is the Hope for somebody, as was the
fever.tossed little fellow we left sleeping

HINEsBURGH.-The Board of School
Directors for the town of Hinesburgh met
on Friday the gath, and organized by
choosing Rev. /. ID. Burwen chairman,
and Rev. @. E. Ferrin clerk. A pretty
full discussion was had upon the interests
of the schools, and what it was desirable
to do, and how to do it. The Board were
quite harmonious in most matters, and
especially in this, that in the location of
the schools little change is practicable for
the present. Uniform taxation, and uni
form length to all the schools, can be
fully secured at once, and the Board will
endeavor to provide uniformly good in.
struction for all the schools. Committees
were appointed to ascertain what special
action, if any, is needed in the different
sections of the town, and to report at the
next meeting, April 3d.-Free Press.

LEGENDARY FIRE AT BURLINGTON
We learn from the Free Press that the
fire at Besrian Mission School building at
Burlington on Friday morning, on Water
street, was the work of an incendiary
There had been no fire in the building
since Sunday, 26sh nit. Tracks left in
the sand show plainly where some miscre'
ant had crawled under the building, from
the rear. The fire was kindled under the
northeast corner, directly under the wood
closet, and burning through the floor set
fire to the wood, and thence worked up
through the partition, to the roof. The
entire damage will not exceed $3.50,
which is more than covered by an insur-
ance of $1100.

financial concerns of the district, were in
teresting, showing, as they did, large
decrease in the debt of the district and
encouraging prospects for the future.
This gentleman's kindly interest in the
affairs of the district has materially aided
in bringing about the above desirable re-
suit. His remarks concerning regularity
of attendance were considerate and we'll
timed, and it is to be hoped that parents
will profit by them in future, and send
their children punctually to school. The
average attendance, though large the past
year, shows great deficiency in this re-
spect and a consequent loss in the district
income.

here are represented in Holy Cross Col

son in course of education. Three of these
young men. Messrs. NJ Carmody, E
Maloney and J. Hogan, will graduate in
1872, next year. The other, son of Mr.
John Murphy entered the college in Sep
TENDER last. They are all very promis-
ing students, the college record of the
three first named being an excellent and
encouraging one. The parents of our COL

ing in their praiseworthy object-the
thorough education of their children. It

The Supervisors and the Con
HentiOD.

Ever since the act was passed for
calling Convention to amend the Con-
stitntion of the State, certain members
of our Board OF Supervisors have been
exerting themselves to influence the
public mind in opposition to the call !;
and more recently, as public opinion
has Enthusiastically pointed TO the ab-
clifton ofthe office they hold, they have
all, separately and collectively. not
only entered into q canvass Of oppo-
sition, but felicitate themselves upon
the many hard and ungenerous things
they can say against certain gentlemen
who are known to favor Convention.
These remarks certainly apply to every
member Of our Board save and except
one. and we fear this exception has its
rdridtions. .
These gentlemen know that their
mower will fall with q Convention. They
know that the Office Of Supervisor has
been used all over the State to carry
such a frightful extravagsnce that its
abolition alone would justify . Conven,
ton, if no other reforms were made.
We warn the Democracy 10 heed
them not. They are only fighting for
Office and power, and their arguments
| and evidence are only those Of the paid
advocate and interested witness. They
are seeking to fasten another registra-
ton law upon us-Wsston Democrat
