Interests, and, IL Thought best, TO establish
s regular lumbcr market; AHd, o. isF as
practicable, establish a uuiform price for

chairman. Those VITO were present sta
ted tbat their cuttings for 1873 would
figure up Ia the aggregate Mise million
ieel Of timber aad lumber As many
producers were not present, IL WAS
thought best 10 adjourn, to meet al the
same place on The first Thursday 10 Jan
nary, ai noon, aud il IS hoped that all the
lumber producers la this section of the
c0u1ry VII be present lfuotHng more
is accomplish, dealers can thus get ae-
qpalutcd with each other aud cultivate a
feeling Of friendship aud good will.
We suppose il would BE- glad news
to most OF our subscribers TO krow that
our district schools are all ia Aourishing
state Of prspcdgy, We are sure it would
be aers, for on enquiry we have found
that the door Of the school houses IN this
section are seldom darkened by either
committee man or parent. la fact pretty
much all the interest that is ever nantes
ted j. shown when the yearly tax bill is
presented, and the taX-gatberer is more
oflon received with growls Of dissatisfle.
zion thnu otherwise We hope this
state OF things will hot always last, be-
cause poor schools are always the result,
The following from a contemporary Is
right TO the point: "The man or woman
aud who drop into the school houses often
shows an interest in their comfort, is a
public beuemclor. Both teachers and
scholars are encouraged to good behavior
aud extra efforts. Who does not remem-
Der the stimulus 80 the whole school Of a
visit from parent or other pcrsonl A
school visited once or twice a month-the
visitor insisting that no change of pro-
grammo shall be made--will generally be
twice as prosperous Is the school which is
never visited. No one should leave
others TO attend to this matter. The
public schools should be the pet and
pride Of every parent"
The expectation that the building OF
the Lebanon Springs Road would bring
our railroad into direct through line,
from New York to Montreal, bids fair to
be realized at no distant day. The lower
roads are already at work in that direc.
ton. Pursuant 10 call the stockhold-
ers Of the Duchess Il Columbia II. Il.
assembled at Millbrook to vote on the
proposed consolidation of the road, with
other branches under the name Of New
York, Boston & Montreal r. II. The
total amount Of stock Is $4,000 shares
or 81, 800, 600 4 two-thirds vote was ne
cessaIy, aud 22,4S2 shares were voted
on aud every vote was in favor Of the
proposed movement. The connections
are as follows: New York and Boston
road from New York to Carmel, then
east to Brewster's Station on the Harlem
Railroad, about four miles, where a con-
ueclion is made with the b. II. & L. r. r.
by the Putnam & Dutchess road; from
Carmel to Sylvan Lake 10 l-2 miles
from Sylvan Lake by Glove Branch road
to Glove Branch Junction on the ID. Il C..
road by the latter road to Pine Plains,
then by the Pine Plains aud Albany road
to Chatham on the Harlem and so on to
Albany aud the north. Some Of these
roads are not constructed as yet, but from
statement made by Geo. II. Brown, the
funds can be procured in Europe, and the
work will soon commence. Tie Duchess
aud Columbia Il. X. has now ceased TO
exist, aud with new board OF Directors
and Mr. Brown a. President, the New
York, Boston aud Montreal r. K. will
probably soon begin to operate. \ meet
ing OF the stockholders Of the Pine Pains
aud Albany Railroad aud the Harlem
Extension Railroad was held Ia New
York city Oh Monday, Of last week, at
which union of those two roads, form
Ing the northern section Of the through
. line mentioned, was effected, the two sec
lions being kept separate for the present

held in New York city next month for
the purpose Of consolidating the two por-
