The METHODIST Book CONCERN AT
last the great Methodist body has taken
steps to clear up the suspicious cloud
which has for so long covered up the OPP
erations of its Book Concern. The CON-
mittec appointed by the General Confer
ence seems to have made thorough in-
vestigation of the matter, and their report
has BEN unanimously adopted by the Con-
ference. Some of the charges appear
clearly established, and no one who reads
the report will deny that change was
greatly needed. Rev. DIR. Wilson of
Wyoming and j. M. Phillips Of Clncin-
natl. have been elected Agents. With a
new set of good men, everything will be
right again, and great Christian body
will no longer be reproached with seeking
to cover up fraudulent proceedings to
shield individuals or cliques.

the proposed line Of new railroad from
that point to Ogdensburgh, passing

Hemingsford, Dundee Chrysosthome,

Bombay, Massena, Louisville, Wadding.
ton and LISBON. The party were met
at all pointsby large delegations of the
people, who pointed out the different
routes and furnished the necessary re.
freshments. At every village of any i'm.
portnnce public meetings were held and
addresses made by Gen. Anderson, Mr.
SERVER, Gov. Hendee, Mr.. Brigham and
Mr.. Wells, and also by some of the resi-
dents. Great enthusiasm prevailed all
along the line and the people seem de
termned to secure the road, if perseyer-
ance and money will do it. The meetings
were large, and the sentiment was almost
a unit in favor of progress 10 the matter
The county is rich and beautiful and the
soil shows degree of fertility seldom
seen anywhere. The party were sur
prised beyond expression as to the excel
lence of the soil, and also as to the FEAST
bility Of the surface in all particulars for
railroad. The county is very level and
free from rock. The engineers gi i've, in
this regard, all the encouragement that
can be asked.
The party arrived in Ogdcnsbargh
Saturday night, and returned home on
Thursday, remaining in Ogdensbnrgb
during Sunday aud Monday. Ogdens-
burgh is a!ive in this matter and some of
her prominent men will move forward at
once; and why not?
All the legislation that is necessary is
secured through Canada and New York,
and the towns will move at once in the
matter of giving municipal aid. Clar-
enceville.voted last Monday. We have
not learned the result, but this parish
will no doubt give large majority HI
favor of granting the amount desired.
The gentlemen composing the party :
are unanimous in the opinion that this
ro I'd will be built, and if SO, it will make ,
an independent line from Portland to Og- !
iensbureh' Our Portland friends assured
'ur directors that they were moving right :
along toward the Conn. River, and that
too, through the Notch. That Portland $
was true to her pledges and strongly in q
avor of the route first contemplated.
Dur people need take no alarm from what :
hey read in the Montpelier papers and
elsewhere. Portland will meet us at the (
Conn. River as she has agreed to do.
On the whole, the trip was grand :
success, and all hope and believe it will i
'esult proftably. More will be said here. |
