Though the will Of Edwin Forrest
has not yet been made public, we have
the assurance of an intimate friend of the
great tragedian that he bequeathed all his
property, even his wardrobe and valuable
library, the the establishment of a hone
for old and worn. out actors. Sixty acres
of land in Philadelphia have been entrust'
ed to thelcity corporation for that purpos.
and MIR. Forrest is said to have made am.
pie provision for the endowment and sup
port of the institution. This pr oject fol
surrounding with comforts those whose
dramatic care er has been less successful
than his own, was formed many years ago,
and his noble be1uest for such y purpose
does him high honor, and will incline the
public to think somewhat more kindly Of
one who seemed often lacking iu generos'
ity and iue feeling.

enormous, and the contemplation oft made

every dollar our creditors say We ows

enough left to purchase a new. power

den, feel the want of it seriously.

though We have no reason TO complain
of the amount of patronage the establish.

promptness. We are trying to make the
paper such as will honor the county, and
if our efforts will only be aided by advance

How 10 go West,

This is an inquiry which overy one

to .Febraska and Kansas, with close con-
nectlons to California and the Territories !;
and passengers starting from Lamoille

Mr.. Greeley's Premonitions of Death
are told BY Theodore Tilten in an article
in the Golden Age, and like all such
things possess now a melancholy interest.
Months ago, during some idle hours III
Brooklin, he remarked, Il have but one
great ambition, and that is, not the presl.
dency. but DEATH" A few weeks after,
as some friends were gossiplng about the
political situation, and one of them CHANGED
to ask how he enjoyed being praised by
one pollcical party and denounced by the
other" Mr.. Greeley replied that "nothine
would crafty him so much as to receive
from some celestial messenger an authori
alive assurance that he mnst die the next
morning" Mr.. Tilton's last interview
with him was about three weeks before
his death, when he said "My dear Fl lend
for 30 days and nights have not slept
shall never sleep again; | pray for
death" Mr.. Tilton also instances one OF
two other cases in which Mr.. Greeley
made remarks showing that his mind had
been running much the last few months on
death, though perhaps net more thar

ture, when more than ordinarily wearied

The Senate passed last week the bill
for abolisbing the Offices of U. S. Assessor
and Assistant Assessor ofInternal Revenue
aud transferring their duties to the Col
%lsctors OF their respective di,tricts. Sem
ator Trumbull opposed the bill, which will
save 81, 500, 900 to the Treasury, OH ms
taken statements as to the failure Of the
President to carry out previous laws
statements which were promptly disprov-
in debate by Senator Morrill,. of Vermont.
Mr.. Morrill,, OF Vermont, said that,
when Gen. Grant came into power, there
were $500 Assistant Assessors: but now
there were only about 1900 there had
been a reduction under the law passed
three years ago of about 800 Assistant
Assessors besides about thirty Assessors.
Then the law Of june last was passed,
providing for the reduction Of the number
to eighty, and the Senator (Trumbul)
complained that no action had been taken
under that law, ignoring the fact that the
time had not yet arrived when the law
was to 20 into effect. But in the mean
time the commissioner of Internal Reye.
nue., had devised a scheme by which the
force could be very much more reduced
than by the law OF juno last. That law
reduced the number Of Collectors and AS.
SCISSORS to eighty, leaving it with the AS
SCISSORS to retain the present number O.
Assistant Assessors. But this bill would
reduce the number of Collectors to one
for each collection district, while provid
ing that no Collector shall receive NOR,
pay than 81, 800, aud as their deputie,
are to be paid out oftheir own pockets
the number of deputies makes no differ
encc to the United States.

The portion Of the Essex railroad
heretofore not under contradiction a
point three miles beyond West Concord to
the Connecticut river, is now contracted
to Joseph Trudsll-to be completed by
August ], lS73-distance ii miIes-Or
Ii from West Concord-by including 3
miles heretofore under contract with the
same party. The work is what is called
light, by railroad men, and Of easy con.
structiou. The grade is rising for a DIS
lance of 4 miles from West Concord, then
level or slightly descending to Hastings
mills, or the summit, then a gradually de-
scending grade for 3 miles farther, and
the remainder nearly level to the Connect.
icut river. Work was to have commenced
last Tuesday, but the weather has been
stormy of late, and the contractor has not
got his implements of labor together, but
his premises have been for several days,
well barricaded with dumping carts, etc.
Upon the Portland end of the road the
work of grading is progressing from North
Conway this way. II miles, to Sawyer's
rock. The dista nee from North Conway
to the Notch is some 25 miles. The sur
vey has reached the Notch, though per-
haps not fully completed-asd work upon
this latter section, it is understood, is to
be commenced without delay.
Thus it will be seen, hat our section of
the state is to have a way opened, at no
distant day, to Portland.
