THE FUTURE OF THE DOMINION.

M Fontine, for many years Charge d Affairs
of the Canadian fisheries, and at present a
member of the Dominion Parliament, who has
been in Washington some days, in confiden-
tial talk with a United States Senator, express
ed the belief that if England should withdraw
the trouble ensue, that the Provinces would
unanimously succumb to annexation. He thinks
that England is wrong, although he considers
our claims heavy, but her navigation laws had
been purposely left loose to admit of depreda
tons upon commerce, such as was instituted by
the old Mormon conquerors, and it is time She
was punished. M. Fontaine believes the pres

Concerning Railroads and Snow.

Railroading down East has some unpleas-
ant features. The troubles on the E. & N.
A. Railroad have been duly chronicled. But
the griefs of this road are light when COM
pared with those of some of the connecting
roads. For miles of the New Brunswick and
Canada Railroad between McAdam Junction
and st. Stephen, where trains are now run
ming, the snow at the sides is as high as the
smoke stack of an engine. Between McAdam
and Houlton the blockade is complete and
they have the doleful prospect of waiting un-
til the middle of April before trains can be
forced through. Passengers for Houlton
leave the E. & N. A. road at Danforth TWEEN
ty-two miles east of Mattawamkeag, from
which point they luxuriously ride to Houlton
by stage as ofyore. The return to this prim-
tive and much execrated style of travel, we
regret to learn,is provocative of much profan-
ity among the unregenerate of the Aroostook
people. The branch road from Watts juno
ton to st. Andrews is closed from traffic; also
the branch from Fredericton Junction to
Fredericton. Our provincial neighbors hope
by help of the sun and their own stout hearts
to get through early in April. On the road
from st. John to Halifax such vigorous fight
has been made against the snow that eleven
engines are disabled.
Meanwhile the boats of the International
Line from Portland to st. John are reaping
agolden harvest from the embargo placed up
on travel over the European & North Ameri-
can. The railroad people can only look for
ward to a few shipwrecks or explosions to re-
store the disturbed equilibrium of prestige:
but we fancy that the chances for the fptnre
are somewhat in favor of the boats. The i'm
mense masses of snow lying about the head
waters of streams crossed by the road give
rise to the suspicion that their bridges may
gently vanish with opening spring We sin
eerely hopenot, for our whole State and, in fact,
the whole country are interested in the pros
perity OF this great highway OF the nations.
we understand that the addition of new en-
glnes and rolling stock to the road is postpon-
ed until the change of gauge which is expected
to be made within six months.
