RAILWAY MATTERs.-The business oil
the Central has been increasing very
rapidly, in every department, within the
past few months, and especially is this
noticeable in the car department., which ID
now being run to its fullest capacity, and
the scene presented therein is one of un.
usual activity and life. A large amount
of rolling stock is being turned out, and
some 213 men are constantly employed in
the manufacture thereof. There are now
in process of construction in the passen.
ger department, four palace and sleeping
coaches, which when completed, are to be
followed by five more. These cars are to
be built for Pullman of "palace car" fame,
and are to be run on the Central Line by
him. They are to be constructed after
the style and finish of his best and latest
improved coaches, and are intended to be
fully up to them, in every particular. 1t
is anticipated that four will be completed
in season for the summer travel.
In the freight department during the
month of January, there were turned out
40 new cars. comprising 30 platform, and
10 box cars. There was also rebuilt 10
box cars, besides numerous other inciden.
tai repairs.
A large amount of lumber is necessarily
used in this work, amounting to 211,117
feet for the month mentioned, of which
62,831 feet was spruce; 1880 feet oak

NEW Halnpshire Election

A Concord dispatch of Wednesday says
it had been known for some weeks by both
parties that various causes were operating
to the disadvantage of the Republican
organization, but it wasauot thought that
there should be any such verdict as has
been rendered. The temperance issue has
injured the Republican cause. A con-
siderable number of men who supported
Governor Stearns at the last election have
this year been deluded into the belief that
the election of the Hon. James Pike
would be followed by the enacting of a
constabulary law and other sumptuary
legislation on the liquor question. Dis
affection existed in the Second Congress.
ionalD District, but it was not supposed to be
so serious. Unfairness was charged upon
the nominating convention which was
held at Manchester, and prominent Re-
publicans in that city, Concord, and other
places, publicly advocated the erasure Of
Gen. Stevens name from the ticket, and
the substitution of that of Hon. g.. n.
Bell of Manchester, the Democratic NOM
inee. That course of action in the second
district had bad effect upon the Re-
publicans in other parts Of the State. In
addition to the above causes, the San
Domingo question, the Presidents treat
ment of Hon. Charles Sumner, and the
action of Congress on many subjects have
caused an ill wind to blow upon the Re-
publican party in New Hampshire. The
partial reverse to the party is a serious
one, but by harmony among all the man
ayers, and wise selection of candidates,
the breach can be healed another year,
and New Hampshire put back on her old
footing.

Town Expenses.

Editor Rutland Herald A PLAN man
living in g. little rural town among the
bills Of Vermont, where large fortunes dt
not abound. must be astonished in reading
the account of the town meeting in Rut
land. He would excIaim, 'swhat an i'm
mense amount of property there must be
that the mere appraisal should cost more
than a thousand dollars" Living far away
2rom the Hub, he is liable to form very
imperfect idea of the amount OF physical
and intellectual labor required in estimat-
ins correctly the value of that vast accu.
mutation found in that almost city. But
it appears that some little deduction is
made in the bills presented: whether this
was fair and right, one living in the coun-
try is not qualified to judge. There is de-
veloped in the proceedings correct and
important principle-the disallowing Of
bills presented against the town. In many
towns, the board of auditors settle with
the officials by allowing each charge. The
selectnen give an order, which is immedl-
stely presented and paid At the town
meeting, the auditors report is unfurled,
and with a flourish of trumpets, read to
the assembled citizens. There are fire.
nusstiy loud mutterings, but to no avail !;
avery man has pocketed his money-"the
horse is gone," too late to talk about a
lock. Such is the mode of procedure in
many of the towns, and honest, hard-work-
ing men inquire, chow does it happen that
the town is so deeply in debt, while the
taxes are so very heavy?" They often
learn, upon examination, that the running
of the machine absorbs large part of the
money raised. These magnates, or Off
Gals, would blush to present to a neigh
Dor such charges as are made against the
town. Those who perform service for the
town charge for given number of days,
but it does not appear what system of la
Dor they have adopted, whether the eight
hour or twelve but it is often surmised
that it is a system much lower than either.
It II amusing to observe in some towns,
three staiwart listers go to a mechanics
barn, and examine with great care little
COW then figure then compare notes /;
then discussion then the result is recorded
They then repair to the pig, and similar
cogitations ensue. These examples indi-
cate the time spent in going through the
town. One man would do the work bet
ter, and in less time, thus saving more
than two-thirds of the expense. 1t Is the
spirit of the age to make woeful grab at
the public treasury it is witnessed in the
school district, the town, county and State.
The awful elimination is at Washington.
It is to be deeply regretted that as men
pass from their ordinary private duties into
the public Service, they appear to lose
that strict integrity-that high moral prin
,ipe-that has marked their transactions
VI private life. The remarks of Gov.
Page, at the meeting alluded to, were very
INST and pertinent: that the "oficers
should be held to a strict, rigid accounta
biIity." That is the remedy for the ex-
sting evils. The loose, lenient manner of
2nditing and adjusting accounts, operates
AZ a kind of license for unjust charges.

The extensive use Of these watches for the Iasi
fifteen years by Railway CONDUCTOR, Engineers,
and Exprcs-men, the most exactirg Of watch.
vearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the
strength, steadiness, durability and accuracy Of
the Wsltham Watch. To satisfy that class in
al these respects is to decide the question as TO
the real value OF these time-keepers.
More than SOC, zoo of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets Of the
peoples proof and guar antee Of their superior
ity over all others. t.s.s
The superior organization and great extent of
the Company's Works at walehsm, enables them
to produce watches at price which renders com.
petition futile and those who buy any 9th.
watch merely pay from Is to so per cent. more
for their watches than is necessary.
These time-pieces combine every improvement
that long experience has proved Of real practi
cal use. Having had the refusal Of nearly ever
in this country or in Europe, only those wer
adopted which severe testing by the most skill
full artisans in our works, and long use on thr
part OF the public, demonstrated to be Essential
to correct and enduring tme-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would par
ticular1ze:
The invention and use of centre pinion Of Pc
culiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by the breakage of main-springs, Ia original
with the American Watch Comp any, who, hav-
ing had the refusal Of all other contrivances,
adopted Foeg's patent pinion as being the best
and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now uni
versslly admitted by Matchmaker to be the
best, are used in all grades Of Waltham Watches.
All Waitham Watches have dustproef caps,
protecting the movement from dust, and lessen
ing the necessity of the frequent cleaning neces-
sary in other watches.
Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless watch
Ia already decided success, and a great improve
ment on any stem winding vatch in the Amer
lean market, and by far the cheapest watch of It
quality now offered to the American public. To
those living IN portions of the United States

Probable Murder at POultney.

Early on Saturday morning the dead
body of Thomas McGrath, section work
man ON the Rutland and Washington
Railroad, was found under the railroad
bridge Just south of the village of Poult-
ney. The body was first discovered about
o'clock a. M, by Mr.. Caprood, who was
walking along the bank of Poultney River
looking after some traps He was lying
several feet below the track, with one foot
in the water. His head, face and should
ers were horribly cut, and one foot in.
jured. The clothing was distributed
around in snoh q manner, and the appear
ances such as to make it a very difficult
problem to harmonic the occurrence with
simple railroad accident A variety of
opinions are entertained as to the oause
of his death.
Testimony is being taken snd examina-
tions made which will undoubtedly throw
more light upon the case. The authori-
ties and citizens are doing all they can to
solve the mystery. Nothing had, up to Sat-
urday night, transpired to throw any light
on the matter. Evidently it was the oh.
ject of whoever murdered the man to make
it appear that he was killed by the night
express train from New York. McGrath
was an industrious hard working man,
and leaves wife and six children entirely
destitute.
We have given the facts as we under
stand them, and are undoubtedly correct,
coming, as they do, from the HERALD
correspondent observer" who is a correct
and reliable gentleman. We will add
some of the rumors sfoat in reference to
the murder.
One account says bis hat, coat and vest
were OF and lying on the bank, and that
be had evidently been struck by passing
train, but there are suppositions that he
was nearly killed in drunken row and
had wandered or been carried on to the
tack. The toes of one foot were cut of,
and there were gsshes on other portions
of the body.
Another account says that he was I'M
doubtedly run over by the cars, either be-
fore or after death. One of his stockings
was found midway in the bridge, tucked
under rail, and his boots about two rods
north of the spot where his body laid
one set up against stone, and the other
thrown down near it.
1t is rumored also that McGrath and
one O'Keefe, the foreman of that railroad
section, were intoxicated on Thursday and
were together all day, and that O'Keefe
had been arrested for the murder, but we
learn that O'Keefe has not been arrested,
but was before the coroner's jury as
witness. At the latest accounts all was
shrouded in mystery as to the perpetrator
of the act. There is but little doubt but
that McGrath was murdered, but who
murdered him may remain as much in
volved in mystery as is, Who murdered

HORSES CARRYING CHILDREN TO
scHooL.-Not many years ago, Robert
Nisbett of South Adams owned q pet
span of horses and a numerous family,
who were also pets, as was every living
thing under his protection. The district
school house was mile of, over bleak
road in very snowy country. The
horses, when colts, were accustomed to
carry and fetch the children, and after q
while were entrusted with the whole
business. After being hitched up to the
old lumber box sleigh, they would, "of
their own free will and accord" trot up
to the farm house door, receive some half
dozen or more children, who in great glee
would "pile in" among buffalo skins and
blankets. Then these horses, without
driver or guidance Of any kind, would
start off briskly (for they were smart if
not fast, go to the school house, turn up to
the door, wait for these happy children to
tumble out, then make their turn care
fully and return home. At night they
were sent alone for their load again, and
would turn up to the school house door
and wait patiently for the children.
This business was done by these horses
for twenty years, and their kind master
kept them until old age carried them of.
