lake will be piled from its shores to the
edges Of the navigable channel; upon
these piles a railroad track will be laid.
In the gap aud across the channel huge
hoas, operated by steam, ID to be placed,
which is to be three hundred feet long
This float will have a railroad track, and
will swing like gate on hinge, so that
when open for the passage of boats it will
stand at right angles to, or more than
right angles aecay from, the channel, so
that three hundred feet wide channel
will be wholly free from distractions to
navigation. This is all there is of the
Ticonderoga bridge,
The mining interests of Essex are very
strenuous in their support of the ferry. If
an outlet should greatly stimulate oper-
atoms there, as is claimed, the interests
of that county would gain great deal.
As Troy and Albany are the nearest large
manufacturing towns to these mines,
what would bs the effect Of opening this
new line of transportation from these ci-
ties to the mines? Is it not proba BILE that
these towns would gain by it It is only
few years ago that the Legislature OF
Vermont refused to permit the Burdens
to build a railroad to an iron ore-bed
which they owned in Bennington. The
act was SO unjust and suicidal that ii
could not stand and the privilege was
granted subsequently. While it is the
business of the New York Legislature to
protect the interests of the state, to me ii
seems that the endeavor to shut off Essex
is like the partiean action of the Vermont
Legislature in forbidding the Burdens to
get out their ore in Vermont by such
means only az would make tie business
profitable.

AMOUNT AND KIND OF CLOUDS.
THE WATERBURY BANK BUR

THE WATERBURY BANK BURGLARY
EXAM NATION OF THE NEW YORK
RoU CHS - THEY ARE BOUND UP IN
$30,000.-The examination of the two
New York roughs, suspected of being
concerned in the attempted robbery of
the Waterbury Bank, closed on Monday at
Waterbury. They gave the names OF
William Davis and Charles Barton, of
New York city. The strongest circum-
stances against them were that the con-
ductor of Wednesday nights train, to-
the same train, remembers these men,
and that they carried black travelling
bag exactly like the one found in the
bank after the burglary, and noted the
manner in which the bag was carried-in
the lap, held firmly by both hands. Resi-
dents of Waterbury also saw them stop
from that train.
After two days examination they were
held for trial in the sum of $4,000 each.
The bank has two large safes-one con-
tanning books and papers, and the other
the funds of the corporation, consisting OF
$4,000, and about $4,000 belonging to
citizens on deposit. The burglars knew
which one to attack-the old one. This
safe has an iron box in tn bottom, where
the funds were form erly kept; but two
years ago a steel chest was procured for
that purpose, made of chilled steel, and
secured by a combination lock. This
chest was rolled out on the floor, but was
not broken open, nor is it certain that any
burglar could force it. All the tools of the
burglars were left in the bank, consisting
of an iron bar, or Jimmy" composed Of
seven pieces, each about one foot in length
a flask of powder, also blower to blow
the powder into small crevices, roll Of
fuse, dark curtains to fit all the windows
Papor of toolks. sat nf wedges from one
sixteenth of an inch to two inches in
thickness, with feathers to cover the heads
to desden the sound, a sledge and ham,
mers, Irvine for signals to the outside
watchers, and all the outfit of expert oper.
ators. 1t is thought that some sudden
fright caused the burglars to decamp, and
that there must have been at least four Of
them, as the numerous tracks around the
bank, as well as the alarm strings extend
ing from both the front and rear doors Of
the bank, indicated the presence of more
than two or three.

FIRE AT CHEsTER.-The carriage shop
of Messrs. J. E. and L. A. Bolles, was de-
stroyed BY fire Tuesday morning. Most Of
the contents, includingseveral fine sleighs,
were saved, as was the lumber, tools, etc.
The FIRE broke out while the proprietors
were at breakfast, at about 8 O'Clock, and
SO rapidly did it burn, that the paid 6ri-
gade did not attempt to eight it at all. It
was covered by insurance. There has
been some talk OF procuring FIRE enine.

AN AGED LADY BURNED TO DEATH.
Mrs. Sarepta Davis, aged 81 years,
widow of Oliver Davis, for the last six
teen years resident with A G. Foster of
Sherburn, was burned to death on Friday,
9th inst, by means of her clothes taking
FIRE. Mrs. Foster had been called TO the
bedside of a sick daughter, and was then
absent. Mr. Foster went to the barn at
about twenty minutes past two o'clock
aud returned in something lees than an
hour. When he opened the door he
found the house filled with smoke but
made his way to the stove, and found
things right there, but the old lady gone.
After a considerable search he found her
in the hall, or entrance to the house, her
clothes burned nearly of, and her flesh
considerably charred, presenting most
appalling spectacle. He must have passed
over her feet in entering the house, but
in the dense smoke failed to see her. The
woodwork in the entry was seorched and
in some places charred, and some cloth
ing hanging against the wall entirely
consumed. After subduing the flames he
alarmed the neighbors, secured the pres
ence of proper authority, and the body
was removed.

THE STATE GEoLOGIsT.

ALL 9i~~AI2 OISIOGlSla
The office of the State Geologist is on
the third floor He has Just arranged his
cabinets of Missouri minerals, which en-
brace some very handsome specimens of
iron, lead, zinc, nickel, coal and other
minerals from various parts of the State
An inspection of these specimens cannot
fail to interest and instruct the visitor.
Mr.. Hagar will receive visitors on Satur-
days, and will take pleasure in giving
such explanations as may be desired. He
has been exceedingly industrious in COL
Letting and arranging these specimens,
some of which are very curious in form
and composition.
THE STATE ENTOMoLoGIST.
Prof. Riley, the talented young ento-
mologist of our State, occupies suit of
rooms on the second floor. He has per-
feet museum of curiositiesTin the line OF
his profession. Here the farmer may be-
come acquainted with those little insects
that damage his crops, and learn how to
destroy the destroyer. Millions of wing
ed insects are laid away in glass cases,
labeled and preserved, together with the
grubs from which they emanate. The
collections are all from our own State, and
Prof. Riley has recently discovered q
means of destroying the pestiferous cur.
culio that plays such havoc with the peach
crop. He has also penetrated the mystic.
rious abodes of the cotton-borer and many
other depredatory insects, and has from
time to time given the world the benefit
of his labors. A visit to the rooms of the
Professor will repay any one, whether he
be in search of information or mere
curiosity monger. AS
MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE
will be in the city to-day, to attend the
Blair banquet, we suggest that they may
put in an hour pleasantly and proftably
by visiting the building at the southeast
corner of Fifth and Olive streets Els
pecially should they call upon Professo,
Hagar, the Geologist, and Professor Riley
the Entomologist From these gentlemen
they will learn facts that will be of inter.
est and Importance to their constituents.
