outstanding, Sept, |, 1870, have all been
paid. OF the tax of 1870, amounting in all
to the sum of SjSs, SGG 10 there remains now
unpaid only s7,O5O 30, which is due from
fourteen towns.
In tho three counties which claimed to
have been oppressed by the action of the
Legislature in equalizing the grand list
there remains of taxes unpaid hut S2,97S 50,
which is due from four towns.
1t is Il gratifying circumstance that with
in six years from the close Of the rebellion
the State debt should be reduced to less
than half a million, with over hundred
thousand dollars in the Treasury to pay
current expenses. This is record that
few States can present. RutldRd Herdd.

using the ST. Lawrence river. Boats pass
up the Ottawa River and thence by the
Rideau Canal to Kingston. The canal is
totally inadequate for purposes OF COM
merce, having capacity only Tor vessels
of 200 tons and under. 1t takes Its name
from the Rideau River, which it utilities
to considerable extent.
The term "Ottawa lCanal is Rener-
ally applied to that system OF improve
ments having for its object the opening of
the Ottawa River to commerce. The
work has been carried out only from its
mouth mp to the capital. A short canal
at Granville enables small vessels to reach
the St. Lawrence River at st. Anne's. At
Ottawa are the Chaudiere Falls, which
offer a serious obstacle to navigation.
Above Ottawa there are numerous falls OF
the same kind, which must be avoided by
canals if the river is to be utilized. You
will see that the Dominion authorities es-
innate the expense of this work at $12-
OOO,O0O-a moderate estimate, probably.
Properly part of this work, though !
suppose not included in the estimate, is
the projected canal across from the river
to Georgian Bay. This is scheme which
has been the subject of much specula-
ton and figuring, but it has hardly taken
tangible shape as yet. 1t would utilize
the Mattawan River and Lake Nipissing
and with the improvement Of the Ottaws
River would open direct communication
from Lake Superior to the seaboard.
A parallel plan is that which seeks rail
connection between Ottawa and the North
ern Pacific Railroad. OF its general fea.
lures I have spoken on another occasion
The Canadian part Of the plan includes 8
| trunk line from Ottawa to Sault Ste
Marie, where it would connect with the
Northern Pacific by means of the project
ed line to Duluth. The latter line, may
observe, is now in the hands of the Yer
mont Central people, who will push il
forward energetically to completion. The
same interest is also urging on the pro
posed road to Ottawa, and, as [ am as.

Our Boston Letter.
Boston, April, Z, 1871.

BOSTON, April, z, 1871.
Editor Rutland Herald AT any par
ticular time among the weeks and months
that pass, there is always, with W, some
attraction, some event, or transaction of
local Importance, which concentrates the
greatest share Of attention. The present
principal topic and place of resort is the
fair in aid of the French. Without very
much sympathy for the French among
the mass of the people to ground any en-
thusiasm upon, to make them attend the
fair and aid this object, it seems to be
chiefly dependent upon the wealthy, and
those who have leisure hours in such
numbers that they seek for amusement
and variety Of occupation.
This fair is held in the Boston Theatre,
the lowest floor of seats and the stage be-
ing foored upon common level, the gall
leries remaining; and which are well
filled by those who may be fatigued by
walking, or who are entertained by the
scenes below them. Any one who has
passed through all parts of large theatre,
will realize how irregular is its form, its
galleries, corridors, stairways and ante
rooms, all of which are favorable, adding
variety to fair. With the whole brill
liantly lighted, with the fresh goods and
most tasty articles in great abundance
and variety on exhibition, with good mu-
sic and great variety of people, the
whole amply repays the price of the ad-
mission ticket, even to person in moder-
ate circumstances. AS this is no affair OF
any religious society, or any other, it
seems. but is that of the great public,
which is easy in such matters, there is no
conscience in tie way of a pretty liberal
use of the lottery system for getting
money. Almost everything of any great
price or value is disposed of this way, and
very few are restrained from entering the
list of chances by anything other than the
want of surplus funds.

NEW YORK, April 18.
One of the most destructive fires that
has ever occurred in New Jersey, broke
out on Saturday night in Atlantic county,
near Newfeld, and swept over large
district during forty-eight hours subse-
quent. The West Jersey railroad passes
through dense forest near Newfeld, and
the underground was fred by locomo-
stive's sparks. The flames started opposite
Newfeld, and driven by strong wind,
swept rapidly toward Great Egg Harbor
river. Barns, dwellings and fences were
burned. Nothing remained yesterday
but the blackened trunks of trees. The
area thus desolated il about twelve miles
long and four wide. The river broke the
progress Of the flames few miles North
of Weymouth. The loss is $4,000 to

THE DEAD OF OUR WAR.-At the
banquet of the Army Of the Tennessee, in
Cincinnati the other night, General
Swayne responded to the toast, "Our dead
not ,ad, but gone BEFORE" in the follow
ing impressive words:
Our dead are the true cost of the war.
Silver and gold still multiply, and art
and science grow. The nation has new
life in all its channels, and "free and
equal" lives forever in the flag where all
the world may read. Only the dad are
dead. Sometimes, perehance in trial or
distress, wistful thought has gone in
search of them, as those who were per-
mitted in the hour to sum up and dis
charge all that remained for them of
life, and then realised that since antique
ty it has been said that it was sweet as
we'll as glorious to die in arms for a
country. Still they are dead, hopelessly
dead, for the mother and wife; mourn
fully dead for the hayward boy +; bitterly
dead to the hour Of want and need of q
strong hand dead also to our love and
yet they live as those works do follow
them. a. s xyEw q
Inuumerabls colored children south of
us are learning busily the shape and
structure of the world learning to love
their country and live like men. Many q
time have seen them and remembered
that our dead men teach those schools
So, too. it has been taught pretty speech
that "liberty and union" were insepara-
BILE iand were one, and it was whistled
down the wind until death followed the
denial, and men read the oracle involved.
Let no man doubt II for the evils of to.
day. They are only the mill Of the gods,
slow grinding, and these dead may yet
teach that truth TO al the world. We
count them dead and reckon mp our loss.
God simply seems to make them Of more
use.

PARIS, April 18TH.
Gen. Cluseret reports that the past
night has been comparatively quiet. Dom
browski is steadily and surely advancing
Considerable breaches have been made in
the walls of Fort Valerien. The situa-
ton everywhere is satisfactory. Several
of the enemy's batteries have been dis
mounted, and all their attacks repulsed
with small loss to the defenders. The
morale of the men is excellent.
1t is intimated that negotiations will
soon be reopened with the government at
Versailles. The official journal pronounces
false the reports that Lullier has been APP
pointed to the command of the gunboat
aotilla on the Seine. The supply of pro-
visions by the Northern and eastern rail-
roads is uninterrupted.
The Commune is discussing questions of
commerce, preparatory to the restoration
of trade and credit. Among the measures
under discussion is law requiring all
debts due at the date of its passage shall
be paid within three years in equal quar-
terly installments, the first payment to be
made on or before the 18th of July. PEN
alties are attached to evasion or fraud.
