from three weeks trip to the Madawaska
region, where he went for the purpose of look
ing after the interests of the schools, and was
able to suggest some Improvements. lie was
accompanied by W. T. Sleeper, Supervisor
of Schools in the county. The superintend-
ent found good feeling existing, favorable
to the common schools, and was pleased to
observe the good results of an able county
Supervisorship. In Madawaska the popula-
ton is largely composed of French Catholics.
The priests are enthusiastic over the school
movement, and are strongly in favor of free
schools, but as strongly opposed to bringing
in Protestant teachers. Mr.. johnson visited
the paradise of Aroostook, New Sweden,
closely the habits and customs of the new ina
migrants. He was very much pleased with
the condition of things in this new but prom
ising settlement. He is confident that the
Swedes possess the elements that will make
them valuable citizens and good members of
society. They are moral, temperate, steady
industrious, and economical people, and will
maintain themselves anywhere. They can
read, not an individual of the colony having
yet been compelled to make his or her mark
upon a hotel register or official document.
During the progress Of the late war, they
kept themselves well informed of passing
events so that they thoroughly understood
tho. form and working of our government. 1t
is said that the advantages of living under a
fresgovernment, is the greatest incentive to
their leaving Sweden, for a new home in a
foreign land. We are assured by Mr.. johnson
that scarcely any oft these hardy immigrants left
their native lando ON account of want of employ
met. The men follow various employments,

Another "Oldest Person In the state"

Mrs. Bertha Tozier was born on the 10th
day of June, 1854, and is consequently over
l07 years of age. Her maiden name was
Rose. Her parents were among the first
settlers of Bangor, where soon after they
settled, Mr. Rose was drowned. At the break
ing out of the Revolutionary War, Mrs Rose,
her daughter and others, hearing that the
British were proceeding in that direction,
moved to Wiscasset where they remained for
some time. At this place the daughter mar
ried her only husband, Mr.. Tozier, and moved
to Fairfield. From thence they went TO Athens
where Mr.. Tozier died some thirty years ago,
and where she has since resided greater part
of the time with one of her daughters, who
is now past 50 years OF age. In 1910, while
living in Fairfield, she attended the meetings
of Rev. lothian Sewall, the old pioneer
preacher, well known as Father Sewall, pro-
fessed religion and united with the Congrega-
tionalst church Since her one hundredth
birth day she has both spun and knit. For
one pair of stockings knit since that time, she
received five dollars. She has been able to
read until within few years and to walk quite
well until very recently, when she fell and
has since been obliged to keep her bed. She
still retains her mental faculties to a remarka-
bic degree considering her age, and recently
when questioned in regard to the religious
state of her mind she replied, sit seems dark
sometimes, but have hope. | don't know
what l should do if had no Jesus to go to. !"
She has living one son and three daughters,
numerous grand children and great grand
children, and one great great grand-child.
1t seems remarkable to have among US one
whose history dates back ia rther than the
history of our country, and whose hand could
have signed the Declaration of Independence.

TREDEaAR Works, I
Richmond, Va, March 8, 1871. ]


General j. r. Anderson, President Tredegar
Company:
Dear Sir-Pursuant to your instructions,
on yesterday examined at the old gas,works
the specifications, drawings and proposals for a
gasholder, submitted by Messrs. W. E. Tanner
Il Co. to the Committee on Light. At the time
/ made the examination l expected to be al
lowed this morning to copy the specifications,
so as to make detailed comparison between
them and ours and those of Messrs. Talbot &
Sons. AS permission to do this, or even to see
them, to day has been refused, am obliged to
make this report from my examination of the
papers on yesterday.
In the specifications of Messrs. Tanner &
Co., which the committee approved, the gas.
holder itself is, considered apart from the
columns, entirely OF the same character and
plan as ours. There is no substantial difference.
The variations are only In minor details, and,
on the whole, confidently estimate the differ
enc in cost between the two would not amount
to 500. The only real difference between
their specifications and ours is in the columns.
They propose system of small twelve-inch
(l2) columns on triangular base, say ten or
twelve such systems, instead of eight three
feet diameter single columns proposed by us.
The actual difference in weight of castings
in the two plans (supposing Tanner & Cos ten.
column plan to be the one preferred) estimate
at not over l0,0 900 to IL 900 pounds, represent
| ing a cost of not over $500 at the most but
| the small twelve columns would have been so
| much cheaper to cast as to have nearly made
| up the difference of weight. The actual differ
| ence in strength and practical efficiency | con-
slider insignificant.
| have before me the best and most recent
English work on gasholders, showing that our
| plan of the single large columns has been
adopted in the most recent constructions in
| England.
| 1t there was any omission in the specifca-
| tions submitted by us, or anything not clearly
| understood, | think the committee might have
called on me to explain it, as learn the pre-
ftrred bidders were called on to modify their
price.
observed that our principal and secondary
rafters were more numeT Gus and King post
longer than theirs Our drawing showed the
diameter of roof centre, or King post plate to
be FIVE feet seven inches and one half by one =
half inch thick also, OF greater diameter than
Messrs. Tanner & Co.'s, thereby giving more
strength at that important point in the holder.
To sum up, | estimate the excess of cost OF
the preferred specifications of Messrs. Tanner
& Co. over ours at less than ST ,000
The foregoing estimate is based on the sup
position that Messrs. VIM. L. Tanner d Co.'s
tencolumn Specifications was the one pre-
f,rred by the committee. If the twelve
column $4S, 500 specification was the one
adopted, the increased cost of this specification
over the Tredegar Company's might amount
to three thousand dollars.

THE DIFrERENoE.-The minority report

THE DIFFERENCE E.-The minority report
of the Committee on Roads is by far supe-
rior to the majority. The proposition made
by the first is backed by the security OF
100000, deposited with the State Treas
urer, and the names of nine Vrginians ofun-
questionable solvency and character. The
report of the majority is supported by no
guarantee or security whatever, and is not
even sanctioned by the stockholders of the
A., NJ. & o company.

Ratification of the Award to Tanner
6 Co. for a New Gas-HoIder.


A special meeting of the City Council was
held at the Council Chamber yesterday after.
noon.
The President laid before the Council petit
ton from the Tredegar Company and Messrs.
Talbot Sons, setting forth, at some length,
their complaints against the action of the
Committee OF Light in giving the preference
to the offer of Messrs. Tanner & Co. The petit
ton was read and is published elsewhere.
Mr.. Laube moved that the action of the
Council at the last meeting, awarding the con-
tract for the proposed gasholder to Messrs. Tan
ner Co., be reconsdered. Reiected-only
six members voting in the affirmative.
Mr.. Laube thereupon moved that the Council
adjourn. Negatived.
Mr.. Wynne said that the Committee of
Light cosrted any fair investigation. The
petition which had been read contained about
as much falsehood in the guise of truth as
could be compressed within the same limits, He
pledged himseIr 10 ventlate the statements in
that paper at the proper time. ~s !
On motion of Mr.. Laubes Gen. Joseph r.
Anderson was allowed to address the Council
Gen. A. said be hardly knew how to attempt
to respond to the speech of Mr.. Wynne. The
signers to the petition had stated nothing
which they did not believe to be true. The
charge of the member Mr.. Wynne) he would
hurl back into his teeth with scorn and indig-
nation, and be would defy him to point out an
item in the petition that was not true.
Mr.. Wynne replied that he did not attack
the veracity of the sghers but be did mean
to say that il contained false statements
whether wiful or not was for the consciences
of the signers to determine. One of the most
beautifully gilded statements was apparently
true; but not true in point of fact as he would
show at the proper time.
Mr.. Sloan said there was nothing before tie
Council
Mr.. Kent moved that that portion of the Pc
titon commencing "Your petitioners hereby
agree" etc., be granted.
Mr.. Wynne spoke against this motion. He
said it would be most unfair to give the COM
petitors OF Messrs. Tanner & Co., for this con-
tract the benefit of their brains and ingenuity,
which would be the case If Mr.. Kent's motion
prevailed. - $500
Mr.. Kent's motion was finally rejected.
Mr.. Kent then moved that Colonel Tanner
be permitted to address the Council in explana.
tion of the contract.
Mr.. Sloan objected, and the vote being taken
the objection was sustained.
The Council then adjourned.

RIGHT MUST SUCCEED. The majority
report of the Committee on Roads made
this morning, is mere OFFER TO SELL,
which the A., M. and 0. company may
accept or reject at pleasure, whilst the re-
port presented by the minority is the ac-
certance of solvent offer to buy, and
thereby closes the contract and makes an
actual sale. We ask the question, between
the two propositions, will the members Of
the Legislature hesitate?
