MAINE leads Massachusetts in the woman
suffrage reform. Not much more than a
third of the members of the Massachusetts
House voted for the woman suffrage amend
ment to the constitution, on Thursday. On
the other hand, our Senate passed a like
measure by vote of about two to one, while
change of only seuen votes in the House
would have ensured its complete success. By
the way, the bill just passed by the Illinois
Legislature and which will doubtless be gen.
orally regarded as Concession to woman,
ought to be called ga bill to permit women to
earn living by working for it." lf -alaau

HODGDoN, March %.
No trains have run on the New Brunswick
and Canada railroad from McAdam junction to
Houlton and Woodstock since Tuesday, March
9th, except one train the Sunday following. At
that time they succeeded in getting the track
clear just in time to receive the storm of rain
and sleet, completely embedding the rails in
ice which cannot be removed except by picking.
Although they have kept heavy forces of men
at work the snow storms have since followed
with SO short intervals of fair weather that it
has been impossible to raise the snow and ice
embargo to this date.
4 Houlton is now temporarily supplied with
mails by way of E. & N. A. railroad to Dan
forth, thence by special teams to Houlton via
the old Houlton and Barring stage road
Many of the merchants find the delay of mer-
chandise occasioned by the blockade very incon-
venient and some are getting short of heavy ar
ticles.
March thus far has been the most stormy of
many years. The snow is from IL to feet
deep in the woods. Nearly all the numbering

PENNINGTON, March 90, 1872,
Cases of death by want of exposure are re-
ported through the columns of newspaper, but
not within our knowledge has the sad story been
enacted in our midst; yet such is now the fact.
We give the following particulars as they were
related to us: Last Tuesday French woman
went around our town asking for aims for
another woman by the name of Lombart-also
French-whom she said was very sick. Upon
an investigation being made it was found that
this Mrs. Lombard lived in Little Canada as
it is called, in this village, in the house which
the town used for pest house during the prev
alence of the smallpox some years since. The
woman her husband and some children occupy
part of it. The house is now a miserable
structure by all reports, the floor sngle-boarded,
with wide cracks between, so that the cold raw
winds fine an easy ingress. To be brief, the
poor woman was found lying upon the bed with
scarcely clothing to cover her nakedness, with
babe three days old in her arms, and dying
from exposure. Medical assistance was sum-
was possible, but it was too late. She lnger-
ed one day longer in great agony, when death
came to her relief. The child still lives.
The present term of the Normal School is a
very prosperous one The graduating class
will be the largest of any which has yet left the
school-numbering about thirty Lectures are
delivered before the school by DR.. J. B. Severy
and A Fl. Abbott, Esq, which are open to our
citizens.
The Post Offices at North Pennington also
at Pratts Corner, New Vineyard, have been dis
continued.
An entertainment was given at the new North
church vestry Thursday evening, and repeated
last evening, for the benefit of the Wendell In
stitute. 1t was very fully attended and good
time was had by all. Proceeds amounted to
about $125, the first evening.
Our farmers are busily preparing for the COM
ing maple syrup season Indications are that
a large quantity will be made.
Hay is plenty at $25, per ton. JACK.
