The Northern Pacific Railroad.

This second highway across the CONT
nent is now in full process of construction.
Last July contracts were let for the build
ing Of the Eastern division, reaching
across the State of Minnesota from Du.
luth, at the head of Lake Superior, 24O
miles to the crossing of the Red River
Of the North. With several thousand
men employed, the grading on this section
is fast approaching completion, and the
iron is being laid at the rate Of one to
two miles day. In the meantime engin-
GERS are locating the line westward
through central Dakota; preparations are
completed for the commencement of work
at the Pacific end next spring, and there
after the work of construction will be
prosecuted from both extremities toward
the centre.
In addition to this, the Northern Pa
cifc Company have recently purchased
and practically consolidated with their
own line the St. Paul and Pacific railroad.
embracing some 800 miles of finished
road in Minnesota on which prosperous
business is already doing. This purchase
removes all rivalry between conflicting
interests, and practically makes St. Paul
one terminus of the great Northern road.
The Northern Pacific Railroad system
is certainly assuming business-ike form
and comprehensive proportions. Obvi.
ously its projectors do not intend to build
simple trunk road from East to West
and then wait for profitable traffic tc
come to it. On the contrary, they are al
the outset securing such connections and
alliances with the chief lines of water
communication, and with the railroad
system Of the Atlantic and Pacific States
as cannot fail to bring to it, in addition
to its local business, large and increasing
share Of the carrying trade between
ocean and ocean. At Duluth one arm
meets the commerce of the Lakes and tn,
St. Lawrence at St. Paul the other east
arm connects with the commerce of tn
Mississippi river and its tributaries, an,
with the railroads of the central and east
ern States, concentrating at Chicago
These two arms will unite in Western
Minnesota. From the point of juuctio
! third branch will extend to Pembin
on the British border, and the trunk lin
will traverse central Dakota, and folloV
the now fomous Yellowstone vale
through Montana. Near the boundary Q
Idaho the road will again branch-on
t arm following down the valley Of the &c
Q lumbia to tide-water at Portland, Oregon
E the other striking directly across the Cas-
h. cade range to the main terminus on Pr
: gel sound. A North and South branc
! will also connect the Puget Sound termiI
t us with that at Portland. At the latte
point connection is made with the coal
e lines of road now building southwar

Albany from the use Of "non-explosive
OIL" Mrs. Scott, mother of the Messrs.
Scott gunsmiths, was engaged filling a
lamp with oil, near which stood smaller
lamp lighted, when the flames in some
way extended to the lamp which was
being filed, and in moment the I'M
fortunate lady was enveoped in the
flames. The members of the family
were greatly excited, and before a blanket
could be obtained the poor old lady was
shockingly burned, the flames completely
enveloping her entire person. Drs Han
nan and Carpenter were called and ex-
tended every aid to the victim, but the
unfortunate lady died at ! | o'clock. IIer
sons were badly burned while extinguish-

TnE PRoposED AMENDMENT OF TIE
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES
The Constitution was never intended to
promulgatc religious dogmas, but to pro-
tect all persons under it equally in their
rights, (among others) Of religious beliefs
The moment that the proposed amend
mont 10 added, It 10 wholly changed in
this particular, and it becomes at once, AN
instrument to enforce religious tenet
upon all, whatever may be their individ.
ual convictions respecting its truth
which is destroying the very right Of
opinion it was made to protect. IF the
constitution has the right to promulgate
authoritatively the dogma of the exist.
ence of God, it has the same right, as a
consequence, to define authoritatively,
His character and attributes, and to de.
termine how or in what manner lie shall
be worshipped. This is uniting Church
and State-the very thing most guarded
against and abhorred by its trainers and
the founders of this Republic.

PERsoNAL,-Thc Springfield Repn6li-
can of Tuesday says:
President Angel of the University OF
Vermont at Burlington, has again been
offered the presidency of that great, re-
preventative institution at the West, the
University of Michigan, and as the reasons
that promoted his refusal Of similar
offer some time ago, do not now exist, it
is understood he will accept. His removal
will be decided loss to the East, but he
has so many and so great qualifications
for the place to which he is called, and
his opportunity of usefulness will be SO
much broader there than at Burlington,
that we cannot regret his departure.

TIooNDERodA FERRy.-The Albany
correspondent of the Troy Times, gives
the construction placed on the Ferry bill
and the grounds of objections to be made
in the Assembly. He says: "You know
how the lawyers 60 to work to interpret
some mooted statute. They endeavor to
discover from debates, remarks and all
the concomitants, the intent of the authors
of the law. The passage of the law au-
thorizing the railroad ferry at Tieonderoga
has been examined in this way, and it is
found that the present plans for ferry
or bridge are not in accordance with
the purpose or intent of the law, When
the act was passed, the plan was to run a
ferry so as to intersect the Rensselaer,
and Saratoga railroad at Fairhaven, be-
low Rutland. Had this course been
taken, the ferry would not have met with
the same resistance from New York in
terests that it does now, for the obvious
reason that while the ferry would have
contributed to the development Of the
West shore region, the business with it
or from it would have been led to the
South and to the Hudson River valley.
But now, as the ferry leads to a point
above Rutland, the business will be in
danger of diversion from this state to the
New England towns. This construction
of the law and the obvious departure
from it will be pressed on the attention oil

Congress has made his annual report,
showing that on the first Of December
last the library of Congress contained
1877 ,66S bound volumes, besides about
10000 pamphlets.
The number of volumes added during

Such is the increase of the library that
additional room is required.
