Der and farming products would give a
great amount of way freight, thence from
Hardwick either to Wells River or Mont
pelier? If to Wells River, it will con-
meet with the Montreal road that now
connects with the Passumpsie at that
place, thus making another through line
from Boston to Montreal. If to Mont
pelier, it will be valuable branch to
the Central, and give this part of the
state more direct communication with
the capital. This new route is regarded
with much favor in Irasburgh

The message of Gov. Hoffman of New

even to his own party. The New York
Citizen. paper owned and edited by a
Democratic member of Congress, says
"of all the weak documents we have had
in this time of trial from our public men,
the communication of Governor Hoffman
to the Legislature is the weakest. Its
suggestions are so trivial, its proposed
improvements so inefficient. We hardly
know what point to discuss where all is

of the dreadful trapeze accident at the
Union-Square Theatre, New York, are
thus detailed:
A female gymnast and danseuse known
as Geraldine, young and beautiful
woman. was in rehearsal Of the flying
trapeze performance to be given in the
afternoon. She gives a certain portion
of this feat in company with Mr.. Loop
old, and they were, it is understood,
practicing a variation upon it. The
couple swing off with rope from a point
in the dress circle, swiftly flying through
the air and not pausing until a trapeze
bar is reached which depends from the
ceiling near the back of the stage.
Leopold was making this wild passage on
the swinging trapeze with Geraldine
holding fast to his body. When the
couple had reached the point Immediate
ly beneath the center of the arc, the sud-
den tension of the rope, or some nervous
apprehension on the part of the lady,
caused her to loosen her hold, and she
dashed with great violence upon the floor,
striking partly upon the foot-lights and
partly upon an iron support used for
temporary gas fixtures. For an instant
the scene was so blood curdling as to
strike every one dumb with shuddering
pity. Two physicians were called in,
and the poor suffering girl was treated
with every attention necessary to allevi-
ate her pain Her injuries, it is feared,
are of a fatal character.

HINEsBURGH.-Three young men,
whose names are not given here be-
cause we do not wish to add to their
shame, were arrested last week, and
fined five dollars each and costs, for
disorderly conduct on the highway,
laying Instructions of wood and rails
in it, tearing up sluice ways, taking
off gates by the roadside, and break
ing into a school house and damaging
it. For this last offcnse they have to
pay an additional bill of damages. 1t
is understood that the boys lay then
bad conduct to the drinking of cider
upon which they were partially intoxi

honor than to do such mean things
when sober. 1t is hoped that they

The object of the bill now before the
General Assembly, which some of our con-
temporaries have assailed with so many
hard adjeetives, is simply to prevent a
sacrifice of the debtors personal property
in advance of the time when the creditor
can seize and GUST him of the possession Of
his real estate, as the law now stands.
This proposed law has this humane and
equitable feature about it, that it interposes
against the Selling of such personal pro-
perty in the hands of the debtor as en-
ables him to work the lands on which the
creditor has made his levy, or perfected his
lien, until the end of the stay of execution
upon his real estate. And we can see no
great iniquIty in this. On the contrary we
can see great deal of oppression and hard
ship where a grasping and avaricious credit
or seeks to pursue his debtor relentlessly,
as very many do under the present law.
While the law interposes against the TAX
ing Of the real estate at once, it renders
such estate entirely yalueless to the debtor.
by giving the creditor the power to take
every OK, cow, sheep, goat, horse and mule
on the premises, and strip the unfortunate
debtor of everything else he may have ne
cessary to securing the first sign of crop
from his lands. This every sensible legis-
lator can'see is an unrighteous hardship,
and it is against such grasping and relent-

THE Enquirer asks why the Administra-
ton does not send its troops into the Dismal
Swamp, and hunt down gang of robbers
said to be infesting that locality. Upon
proper representation made by the State Of
North Carolina, he undoubtedly would.
But that State has asked for no such Fede-
raj assistance, and probably has no DISPOSE
ton to ask it. The idea of sending 7" a
troop of cavalry" into the swamp to hunt
down the "Lowery gang" is about as
brilliant q one as it would be to fit out an
expedition to go to the moon in one of
Stevenson's aerial steam cars; and the in
situation that this robber Lowery is in
league with the Radical party in that State,
is not only entirely gratuitous, but devoid
of every semblance of truth even. We
have been repeatedly assured by some OF
the best men in the State, living in the
neighborhood of this gang, that Lowery is
nothing but freebooter, and that no polit
ical significance whatever can be attached
to any of his movements. The naked, UNI
vanished truth should shame no one, ex
cept it be him who seeks to mantel he,
with false covering. ....s

AT recent convention of Eastern manu-
facturers of wooden goods, held at Syracuse,
New York-a very influential and largely
attended meeting-it was decided to ask
retention of the duty on raw wool, as well
as on wooden goods. This prompt action
on the part of a large portion of the Eastern
manufacturers, will be very likely to
counterfeit the influence of the free-wool
delegation from New England, asking OF
the Committee of Ways and Means a re-
peal of the duties on wool. We have al
ready conclusively shown that the remedy
which these New England manufacturers
are seeking, is not to be found in the re-
peal of the duties on the raw material, but
in the encouragement extended to the
American wool-grower. This is the only
way to supply the present dearth in wool,
and the clear-headed manufacturers, lately
| assembled at Syracuse, sec it.

In is stated in well-informed business
circles, that the late reported "corner in
whisky" was a huge canard, got up by
the speculative dealers to realize on their
stock in hand by an advance in price which
it was hoped the canard would create. 1t
is believed that the stock Of whisky in tn g
country is too large, too widely scattered,
and the amount of money invested in it too
enormous to allow of its being controlled
by any single set of operators, much less
by any single house. ]

THE NATIONAL CENTENNIAL.

The commissioners nominated by the
several state governors and commissioned
by the President as board to have charge
of the National Celebration in Philadelphia
in 1876, have been in session in that city
to arrange some general plan for the grand
exposition which shall come off on that oe-
casion. The intention of the law by which
the commission is constituted, is to COM
memorate the completion of the first CEN
fury of our national existence, "by an ex-
hibtion of the national resources of the
country and their development, and OF its
progress in those arts which benefit man
kind" and it is to this end chiefly that the
commission will direct its attention. I'M
doubtedly there will be other attractions
connected with it, such as numerous festi-
walls and other demonstrations to hatter
the patriotism of the different sections O
the country in the general gathering. Th'
occasion will be worthy of the noblest GER
emonies, and should elicit the largest liber.
atty and good feeling to make them every
way creditable to the country. @

THE decisive vote in the House on the
report of the bill for the reduction of the
tariff on pig iron, can hardly fail to give a
healthy impetus to the development OF the
iron industries throughout the country.
An analysis Of the vote shows that there
We're twelve Republicans aud sixty-two
Democrats in favor of the proposed reduc-
ton, while there were lightweight Repub-
lcans and eleven Democrats against 1t,
giving a protectionist majority of twenty
seven. 1t was not a full house. but the
vote was considered decisive Of the result
of the contest in the present Congress. 1t
may be safely concluded, from the growing
public sentiment in favor of the protective
system, that the maximum of opposition tc
it has been reached in the present Con-
gress.

equally hostile to the President, admits
that his majority will be much larger. II
