The report then refers more particu-
Iarlv to many Of the above items and
states the belief that the bonds and
stocks are q good and ample security for
the notes of the trustees and managers.
The report further on states that the
road passes through Il productive cOun-
trv and can be economically operated.
and that the total sum annually charge
able upon its earnings is $3.50, 900; that
the total capital chargeablc to the Yer
mont and Canada and Vermont Central
roads with their properties and business
relations. is S1l. 500, 900, and after de-
ducting the capital chargeable for inter
est and dividends is 50, 800, 900: that on
this basis the average cost per mile is
about S51, 900. or including the second
n10rtgarc. the average is about @5S, 000

fairnst basis Of the computation the road
in it's high condition, with its~quipment
and its valuable real estate and wharf
property, does not stand at very low
average Of cost.
The statement then oOntiQRes, emu
merating the difficulties the management
had to contend with, and IL the light ct
the unuuesloned development OF the
road, questions the existence OF ev!-
dcnce Of their lack Of fidelity to their
trust. The management further say
that their failure to meet late maturing
obligations is due to the continued and
persistent assaults Of the enemies OF the
road and the stringency OF the money
market. They say that they have MOTH
ing to do with the motives actuaflng the
assailants and refer only to causes
which produce the result so lar as they
themselves are concerned in It,.
From the statement OF the Treasurer
accompanying the report, 1t appears t!iat
on the 1st day of June the total floating
debt was ~. .878, 164, AZ, and the aTalla-
ble assets was 81, $40, ,249 81, leaving
the actual floating debt 81, 528, 9l3 90.
The management further declares its
continued confidence in the wisdom OF
the contract for operating the Ogdens-
burg and Rutland roads, deficiencies IN

Avery important addition to the science of
war was the gun-carriage invented some years
since by Capt. Moncrieff, an officer of the Brit
ish Army. By very ingenious device the re-
coil of the gun is utilized to bring it below the
parapet or embrasure, and so out of the line of
hire, the moment it had been discharged The
increased protection thus afforded the gunners
and the piece itself renders this device evident
ly of very great value. A craftsman in the En-
glish War Office, Mr.. j. Farlie, has now adopt-
ed the principle of the Moncrieff invention. Inv
very simple modification, to the ordinary
field-gun, so that it may be applied at once to

SPECIAL NOTICES.


Regarded from medical standpoint spring Is not
the delectabe season described by yernal poets On
the contrary, its yield of intermittent feyers bilious
attacks rheumatic pains, disorders of the stomach
nervous complaints, and pulmonary diseases is al
most as large its crop Of yiolets snowdrops and
cherry blossoms. The invisible seeds of innumera-
BILE maladies rise with the morning mists, and are
scattered broadcast by the yapors of night Who
can resist their mephitic influence? Certainly not
the weak by nature, or those whose nervous ener-
gies have been overtaskcd by mental or physical la
Dor, unless they tone and invgorate their systems
and thus enable them to cope with the unhealthy
influences by which they are surrounded.
The only medicinal agent by which this object
can be rapidly and safely accomplished, is the
great vegetable renovant ana nvigorant, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters. The operation of this eel
ebrated specific is four-fold. 1t strengthens the
digestive organs, regulates the secretions i'm
proves the condition of the blood, superinduces
a regular habit of body, and thereby imparts such
vigor and elasticity to the whole physical struc-
ture to render it capable of resisting the action OF
the poisonous miasma, with which the spring atmos-
phere is always to some extent impregnated. Here,
then, is ready and certain means Of escaping the
disorders prevalent at this season. they have al
ready fastened upon the system) of conquering them
speedily and thoroughly. The flavor of a medicine
is not of much consequence, provided it does its
work properly but Of Hostetters Ritters 1t may be
fairly said that they effect without outragng
the patient sense of taste. ~

Political Notac

Ex-Governor Henry S. Foote of Tennes-
see, has written another political scrawl, de-
voting 1t to lamentation over the evil WAYS
into which the Democratic party has fallen.
He favors the nomination of Mr.. Trumbull or
Judge Davis by the opposition.
The Democratic Legislature of Tennes-
see mas undertaken TO smother the East Ten
nessee Republican majority in the choice of
Representatives in Congress by splitting that
section into ribbons and attaching to each
ribbon several Middle Tennessee counties
which were strongly rebel, and are now as
strongly Democratic, so as to make each dis
trict Democratic and throw the Hon. Horace
MAYNARD out Of the next House.

New Hampshire.was never more convincing

from the figures published in the Monitor.
The canvass gave Straw 3s, 141, and Weston.

The Lewiston Journal says the shipment of
boots and shoes from Auburn and Lewiston the
past week have been 1898 cases, of which 70
cases were by Eastern Express, to 1920 cases
the previous week. The shipments of tho month
have been heavy and steady, averaging 1850
cases per week, which is the heaviest weekly
production in any month, wo think, of Auburn
shoe history Last weeks shipments were the
heaviest of any week in the city's record. 1t
now looks as though the weekly production for
April would rise to nearly 1900 cases. The re-

M. FAvRE's ATTACK UroN Mr.. WASH
BURNE.-The attack made upon Mr.. Wash
burne, the American Minister to France by M.
Jules Fayre, appears to be simply an outbreak
of malignant spite. NJ. Favre charges Mr.
Washburne with favoritism to the Russians,
before and during the war, and gives hints of
dishonorable transactions-but he produces no
proofs, and his charges are evidently without
foundation. 1t must be said, to the lasting
credit of Mr.. Washburne, that he showed him
self brave and capable during the whole war
Americans, Frenchmen, and Germans alike re-
ceived from him all the aid and protection that
his official position enabled him to give while
the horrors of the siege continued, and the ex-
pressions of gratitude which have since been ut
tered are the tribute justly due to him. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Washburue does not in
tend to reply to the attack of NJ Favre 1t is
not necessary that he should reply. His record
speaks for itself.-N. Y Commercial Aduertis-

The late Speaker of the British House of
Commons has refused the retiring pension
belonging to that Office upon the ground
.'that he did not wish to be burdensome to
the State" This is very eccentric conduct,
as he is man of but moderate means and the
pension is very large. But the oldest part of
of the whole affair to Americans is the severe
rebuke administered to him by the great con-
sentative journals for such outrageous con-
duct, (which may place this gentleman's sue
cessors in an invidous, position" Fancy an
American journal gravely reading lesson to
an offce-holder, who, by some very improba-
bic chance, should not take all he could get
from the public treasury.
