The present is Il critical mnmcnt for
the projected railroad from st. Johns
bury, eastward. Whether the work
will he Immediately commenced and
pushed with vigor, will depend upon the
owncrs Of Land through which the line
is located. The land damages claimed
from Passrmpsic river 10 Moose river,
at Barretl's mills, 4 distance of perhaps
onc-half of a mile, amounts to about
$1,000. Now this is about twice the cx-
pcnsc of constructing the road No
wonder, then, that the directors feel dis
couraged and have decided to abandon
the PROJECT for the present, if some ar
ransement cannot he made by which :he

construction of the read shall not he re-
CURED to secure the right Of way.
The road has already been located as
far as East ST. Johnsbury, and will he

land owners will enter into an agreement
by which the right Of way can be sccur-
ed without mourning an expense exceed
ing, by far, the amount subscribed for
lis construction. 1t would be injudicious
on the part of the directors. rs well rs q
breach Of good faith toward the towns
which have 50 literally taken the stock.

with but half the means necessary to COM
pletc IT. The result would be, that the
work would be delayed, and, perhaps,
utterly abandoned, unless the several
towns, TO save what they had already
invested, should still further burden them
selves by increasing their subscriptions

Fire at UOHtpeEer.

There was Il severe fire at Wri" hts
Mills, some three miles up the branch
from Montpelier, Thursday of last week.
destroying MOorcroft's wooden factory
1t WAS first discovered in the wool
box. The h who tended the c.udina
machines went To the wool box for more
wool, and upon thrusting his hand into
the box it was burned, and before he
could alarm the workmcn, even in that
room, the flames shot up and around the
building with such rapidity as 10 nearly
cut oft the mc.,ns Of their escape. Mr.
John Cotfey, who tended the picker, and
was at the time putting Il new belt upon
il. was somewhat burned, and was res
cued from the building by being taken
from the fourth story window his injnr-
les, however, ale but slight. Mr..
Griffith, the foreman Of the cardin. room,
was badly burned in his face aud hands
in his efforts To subluc the flames, as
WAS also the boy in charge of the card
ing machines, but neither Of them very
seriously. Mr.. William Andrews, IA
miliarly known rs ''Unclc Bill" one of
the spinners, was very badly burned in
his efforts 10 save his clothin" and other
property in the mill. He WAS compelled
to seek his own safety, leaving b,hind
him everything except what he had up
on his person ut the time, including
$1,000 in government bonds, which were
consumed. \ young man by the name
of Green was badly scorch,d in his eff
forts TO assist Mr.. Andrews TO save his
property. Another man, whose name
We have not learned, was considerably
scorched. Friday morning those burned
were all comfortable.
SO rapid was the spread of the fire
through the mill that very little of the
contents were saved. The prompt arri-
val Of the engines from Montpelier vii
lage saved the storc-lousc, about forty
five feet north of the mill, the contents
OF which had been pretty much removed
through the prompt exertinns of neigh
bors; and great credit is due To all men,
women and children, for their efforts TO
save the property. The damage 10 the
storchousc building is 500, covered by
insurance in the Vermont Mutual Tie
damage 10 the stock in the storehou-e is
quite small, and is covered by an insur-
ance TO the amount of $1,000 in the
First National of Worcester. There
was insurance. on the main building and
fixed machinery for $500 in the Yer
mont Mutual; on the movable machine
ry, $4,000 in the I1tna of Hartford
on the stock, $4,000, of which 81, 900
was in the Security of New York, 81
900 in the Phoenix of Hartford, and 81, :
900 IN the Peoples of Worcester, max
ing Sl3,5OO in all.
The burning of Il factory like this is a
great loss to any place; but especially so
to a small community like Wrights Mills
village, composed mostly of those depend

The Final Result.

1t is not strange that people generally
seem SO disappointed with the effective
power of the French army as exhibited
in the conflict with Prussia. All Of lis IA
miiar with the campaig ns OF the elder
Napoleon-his rapid marches, the yigor
and success with which TO meet his enc
mics the uniform bravery and cnthusi-
asm of his troops, even under rcycrscs :;
had almost accepted the conclusion that
France, in the field, was invinciblc.
But now, how changed. In the pres
ent trial of her proves, she is worsted
10y single nation. Once she won VIC
tories over two or more nations, and was
made TO succumb AT Waterloo, only by
the united power OF half dozen. Has
France rcccdcd in ability to maintain her
position among the strong states of Eu-
rope? Not So much this, perhaps, is
that she has not advanced and kept pace,
in those things which give strength To Il
nation, with the other principal nations
around her. She has Lccn uutrum 10y
them-at least by Prussia and Rus.i d
in the run for empire
The great mass OF the people of France
remain in ignorance, and bat little al.
vanced from their once fru,lal condition.
Their emer9cncc from that state, 50 far
as relates to the development OF manhood,
is but little more than in nam, They
lack that moral and mental education
which make nations invncibe
The world is learning that there is
something more potent than iron-cladS,
forts and chessepots. Mental AM moral
culture Of the whole people of state,
glrds 1t with strength and givcs to it Sc
curIty above and beyond all other auxil-
larry helps.
AT the commencement Of the now clos
ing contest between France and pr,ss;o
the two nations were nearly equal in men
and war materials-only the former WAS
much more powerful in her naval prcpa-
rations. France attempted TO invade
Prussia. Prussia thercupon became the
invader. France is now sitting in the
dust, weeping for her defeated glory.
Perhaps she needed this discipline, and
learning therefrom the proper lesson, she
may make her present humiliation the
morning of her future renown.

Anothcr Mississippi RiUer Horror
OVER EIGHTY LIVES LOST.

The steamer w. Il. Arthur, from
New Orleans for Louisville, exploded
her boilers ut o'clock, Saturday morn
ing, near Island No. 40, about II miles
above Memphis, tearing away the for
ward part of the cabin The night was
very dark, and after the explosion most
of the passengers rushed down TO the
lower deck, while others Jumped over
board When the bows sunk, the waves
swept from the lower deck all who hal
gathered there. Henry Brolaski, cap
tain OF the boat, says that he had retired
half an hour before the explosion, and
felt himself lifted up and knocked down
by the stairs, which fell upon him. He
extricated himself, got an AK and cut
his way out, saving himself, wife and
child, whom he took TO the ladies' cabin
and left in charge Of Alexander Frale,.
The boat took fire several times, but was
cNtinguished. Had Inc cabin passengrr-
remained in the cabin, all would have
been saved, but, owing to their fright
nearly all of them ;u>hed down stairs
; Capt. Frazer, Il passenger on the boat,
says that lie and his wife were in bed but
not asleep, and when the explosion took
place ha ran out on the guard and, secn%
the state OF affairs, hastcncd to the cab
in, when hc found that all the ladies tx
ccpt his wife and Mrs Brnlaski, hal
lett. lie asrertlincd that the life boat
had been taken away, and then turEcI
