Editor ReDu65icln s. Unlike your

| am happy to inform your readers that
the health OF our neighborhood is com
paratiyely good at this writing Thank
tul that we need no physicians to improve
the health. Ministers of this place are
more in vogue, and to our great satisfac-
ton, with happy results. The Rev Mr..
Douglass conducted a series OF meetings
at what is known as tie Wilderness
School House, but short time ago. which
resul- ed in a new Evangelic organization

But some of our farmers are looking for

improvements in the way of large commo-
diOus barns and cosy dwellings. At
present writing, we are receiving a CO.
pious shower OF rain which has been long
looked for, and very much needed to fill
the earth with water that our numerous
dry wells, may again yield plentiful sup
ply OF that precious fluid. The protrac-
ton Of winter weather will prevent a
bounteous crop of maple sugar this sea-
son, farmers being compelled to prepare
for spring crops as soon as the frost leaves

Senator Sumner is concerned about the
Cincinnati convention He thinks it
ought to be Republican convention; but
from present indications he fears that
Democrats will control it. He thinks
Grant is not Republican, and regards
the Republican convention to be held at
Philadelphia, as an administration affair.
AS Samner is claimed by his admirers to be
the originator of the Republican party,
and ought to know what Republicanism
is, he should control the party. That
would probably be the easiest way of
settling the controversy between the
party and Senators Trumbull, Schurz and
Sumner. The people have shown entirely
too much obstinacy in the controversy
about the conduct of Grants administra-

The Bourbon Mirror itemizer accuses

your Plymouth fellow means, as we very
modestly spoke the facts pertaining to our
business prospects as town, and merely
mentioned few universally conceded
facts in reference to our business men.
Among the number we mentioned Mr..
VIM. Scar, the champion clothes manu-
facturer of the world. His business and
name is co-extensive with the Chicago &
Plttsburg Railroad, or from the Atlantic
to the Pacific; but as we have not travel

[For the Republican,
Vanished Hopes.


My hopes have departed forever,
My vision of true love is DER;
My heart shall awaken OIL never,
There's joy for my bosom no more;
The hopes that have crowned me are withered,
The joys cherished are dead;
My joys are confidingly gathered,
My hopes now forever are fled.
1t seems that my life is decGying,
think that my stay will be brief;
feel that my spirit is straying,
Though I'll tell not word of my grief
Not word shall be WHISPERED to neighbors,
No ear hear me sigh or complain;
My heart still adores my dear Maggie,
And longs to befriend her again.
l see that another has rified,
The heart that wished for my own;
/ grieve but my feelings are stifed,
And shrink from her cold formal tone.
The sun is fast sinking in splendor,
That shines in the far distant West;
But the dawning will shine in my windows,
And find that my heart is bereft.
Her heart she has given to another,
dare say she has broken VOW;
l now will look round for some other,
As my heart feels so very sad now.
think she remembers the promise,
When she and were all alone,
That my cares for her should not be wanting,
In that pretty little home of our own.

they have done here? Burn the heart
out Of either of the cities mentioned; and
it will be many years before they would
show to advantage again, unless | may
except SanFrancisco and New York.
Why, MIR. Editor, they will not let the
river freeze Up for 'esr ola late opening of
navigation " the ring, but ON the con-
trary, keeA DGl Ger Of steam tugs run
ming hourly, to break the ice that it may
pass out of the river entirely.
The following articles are from the
Chicogo Evening Mail of March 21st,
1872:
we learn that the property owners on
East Lake St.-better known as Lake
St.-have individually and mutually
agreed to build up the entire street on
both sides, with solid line of handsome
buildings during the coming year, so that
the burnt district will have at least one
complete and passable street."
Again, The magnificent fund of some
SU,000,0o0, which the world contributed
to our sufferers, has been none too much.
The Relief Committee report that but
S600,000 now remain in the treasury, and
that the present bitter and unreasonable
weather, is compelling them to disburse
1t at the rate of about $4,000 per weekl
Last week $4,000 persons were served
with rations, and the number dependant
is larger than ever before, owing to the
influx OF so many thousands in Quest of
employment, which the weather has pre-
vented them from getting. Other cities
are, therefore, receiving back some of
their contributions in the shape of food
for their poor who have come to US.
Never was mild weather desired and
needed more than now, and yet the tenn
perature is that of mid December"
From the Chicago Tribune of the same
date:
1.-The Pacific Hotel Lease We learn
that yesterday Messrs Gage Bros 81
Rice took lease of the Pacific Hotel for
term of 20 years, the structure to be
completed March 1st 1873. These gem
tlemen seem disposed to round up their
corner as hotel managers in a most sig
nal manner, for they claim that they will
have in one year from this date, the finest
hotel in The world. Their success has
been entirely of Chicago growth.
In the summer of 1852, Geo. w. Gage
and David A Gage, ESQ, appeared in
Chicago, and took a lease of the fremont
House from Ira Couch, and the fremont
was model in those days John A.
Rice, Esq, made his entree into Chicago
bookkeeping. in the Sherman House,
about eight years ago. The prosperity of
all three Of these gentlemen has been well
deserved, and they have carried repu-
tation far and wide among the travelling
community. Their new connection is
one on which they and the Pacific Hotel
Company are to be congratulated The
Pacific will cost, when completed, ST.
100000, and have 500 rooms for guests,
and the great edifce will form most
striking neighbor to the new Government
building that is to confront it on South
Clark St" f. NJ. CHAPMAN.

lowing incident which ocrune,l while

II There was q good deal Of fuss about

I the reporter asked; , g~.
What will be the end Of putting
down railroad fares, Colonel ?n
! END! why we haven't begun yet,
We intend to carry passengers through
to Chicago before we get through, two
for q cent, and feed them on the way,
and when old Van does the same, the
public will 60 OH his road just to spite
him -
.sOf course the Erie il tie best
road continued Fisk, in his Nun
chausen way. " It runs faster and
smoother. When Judge Porter went
UP with me In the Directors Cir last
winter, We passed 200 canal boats,
about'a mile apart, on the Delaware
and Hudson Canal. The train went
so fast that the Judge came back, and
reported that he saw one gigantic
canal boat ten miles long. Fact, sir !!
We went 20 fast the Judge couldn't
see the gaps" "
stAteia ahes other RAILROADS going to
help you in this fight, ! asked the re-.
porter.
"Why, yes-and as fast as they are
convinced that we are going to make a
firstclass fight, they say they will help
us, but they want to see Vanderbilt
tied fast first"

to his favorite attitude leaning for

A dispatch from Halifax, based
on trustworthy utllority, states that
a document has been signed by the
Canadian Government for . separ-
alton from the Rritishl Empire.
When the Imperial Parliament
passed die act Of Confederation, an
agreement to separate was arranged,
totake effect whenever the British
Government saw the necessity for
s,ich action. II is now stated that
ever since the treaty the British
troops have been gradually with
drawn from Canada, until now
there is hardly q soldier left outside
lof Halfsx. Should tho complica-
ticns between the United States aid
Great Britain assume a war-like
character, there is but little doubt
but that The independence Of Can

VIII be relieved Of the necessity Of
defending that colony. "
