DER the hills the shrieking whistle
Sends its echoes far away;
Down the vale the car wheels rattle,
For the train has come to day.
From St. Johnshury, through to Danville
Over Walden's dreary height,
We have welcomed here in Hardwick
The first tram this New Years night
Sounding far o'erall the valley,
. over woodland, over mead
We have heard the Car of Progress,
Whirling with triumphant speed.
Wood crowned hills and mountains, listen
To the engines stately tread,
As 1t marches proudly onward,
Where the iron guides have led.
Life is broathed JOn the valley;
On the hills the wood mans blow
Answers to the rafting car Wheels
AS they swiftly onward 20.
Life is breathed upon each village
Nestled mid protectirg hills;
Action moves the sturdy farmer
ActioH ev'ry warehouse fills
Swifter every wheel is moving
In the mills and factories all;
Hotter fros are on the fUrges,
Louder rings the hammers call.
This gives promise of the future,
When from JOhnshury's lively street
On to Swanton in tho distance
Speeding trains shall gladly greet.
When from Johnshnry onward farther
Shall extend the iron way,
.. IT'LL from OgdonsOurg, and westward
Trains shall speed to Portland bay.
Till the West shall send its treasures
Through our humble valley whirled
Gross the waves of the old Atlantic,
To the waiting Eastern world.
Then receive the present gladly,
That the New Year brings along,
AS promise of the future,
As a prelude to the song.
Ger the hills the shrieking whistle
Sends its echoes far away,
Down the vale the car now rattles,
And VIC welcome it to-day.

Insurance Notice.

On and after the tenth day of April,
1872, The Home Reserve force Of Insur-
ance Agents belonging to ''The Pennsylva-
mia Central Insurance Company will leave
Pottsville in heavy force, and occupy ten
different counties of the State, where they
will continue to act as the Company's
Agents until a full line of Local Agents
can be appointed, when they will be recalled.
AS body of men, believe they are supe-
rior Insurance Agents, and most of them
speak the English, French, Welsh and Ger
man Languages. The City Insurance
Journals, with all their sneers at Mutual
Companies, and continual cry of Fraud
Fraud &C., cannot muster any better In
surance material Why don't the City In
surance papers tell the public that no Mu-
tual Company broke or failed during the
last ten years? Why don't they tell the
public that more than half the Stock Com
panies started within the last ten years
have? 1t is a well-known fact that Mutual
Companies cannot fail.

A Good Hitching Post.

The following anecdote, which first ap-
peared in the newspapers many years ago.
is said to have been founded on an actual
occurrence. Although it may not illustrate
the democratic simplicity of the people of
Vermont to-day, it is nevertheless good,
story, and good also for many years longer
life in the newspapers:
Halo, you man with a pail and frock
can you inform me whether His Honor the
Governor of Vermont resides here ?" said
a British officer, as he brought his fiery
horse to stand in front of Governor Chit
tenden's dwelling.
"He does,' was the response of the man,
still vending his way to a pig-sty.
is His Honor at home ~ continued the
man of spurs.
"Most certainly replied frock.
stake my horse by the Bit then," said
the officer. 81 have business to transact
with your MASTER" il,d
Without second bidding the man did
as requested, and the officer alighted and
made his way to the door, and gave the
panel several hearty raps with the butt of
his whip-for be it known that in those days
of republican simplicity knockers and bells,
like servants were in but little use. The
good dame answered the summons in per-
son; and having seated the officer and as
certained his desire to see the Governor. dc
parted to inform her husband of the guests
arrival; but on ascertaining that the officer
had made hitching-post of her husband,
she immediately returned and informed
him that the Governor was engaged in the
yard, and could not very well wait upon
him and his horse at the same time The
predicament of the officer can be better inn
agined than described. .

Strange Incident.

More than twenty years ago there lived
at Harding man named Mahar, with his
wife and two children, both boys. Mahar
left his family about the time we allude to
without informing them of his intentions
and went to Virginia. His wife waited for
his return until such time had elapsed as
led her to suspect that something unusual
had happened to him. Inquiries were made
about the missing husband, but no informa-
tion could be elected Time passed on aud
the wife came to regard herself as deserted
or her husband dead. Years rolled away
and her boys had grown to manhood.
Their mother had never married, nor ever
heard any tidings from their father, until
one evening, not long since, she saw a way
farer passing the house, when calling to
one of her sons, she told him the man who
was passing along the road was his father
The young man was incredulous but the
mother calmly insisted that she was right.
The next evening theiman came to the
house, having made inquiries as to who
lived there, and stopping at the gate asked
/ for a drink of water when he asked herit
she knew him, to which she answered in
the negative but aftcr repetition of
the question, she admitted she knew him.
He asked If he could 60 in, and received an
affirmative answer. Both went into the
house and, after an explanation, man and
wife again joined together, a separation o.
twenty years having added tlieit weight oi
care to each of this strangely reunited
couple.

Curiosites of our Banking System.

q One Of the most singular features of our
banking system is the fact that bills on
broken National banks are worth more than
notes of banks in good standing. At pres
ent the premium on such notes is four per
cent, and may before long be higher.
L The explanation is easily found. The
Government guarantees the circulation of
all the National banks. That keeps the
notes of the poorest Of them, and even
those which have failed, up to par. In any
case they cannot get below that. Now the
total circulation of the National banks of
the United States is limited to fixed
amount. In round numbers that amount
is $3.50, 000, 900. The banks cannot issue in
the aggregate more than that, and it is not
the policy of the government to have any
less issued.
But when National bank breaks if an
other bank can buy up its notes, and offer
the same guarantees, it is allowed to sue
ceed to its privileges and franchises. Or IL
a bank corporation buys up sufficient notes
Of various broken national banks, to estab-
lish a new bank, the Government allows il
to do this too; SO that the maximum Of cir
culation allowed by law, $350,000, 900, is
not transgressed, the Government cares not
how many new banks may be established on
the ruins of old ones. rp
