New YORK, June Is, 1872

THE UNION LEAGUE CLUB.
The Union League Club at its monthly
meeting of 18th inst. endorsed the Philadel-
phia nominations with enthusiastic unanimi-
ty. Mr.. Greeley who is frequenter of the
club, was in an adjoining room when this ac-
ton took place attended by his faithful Lieu
tenant, Whitelaw Reid. His little band of
followers were promptly on hand and if they
could have mustered five and twenty they
could have prevented action in the resolu-
tons, under the rules. AS they could not
count any thing like that number they dis
creetly avoided show of their weakness, by
silent acquiescence in the inevitable result.
Inc CLUB contains about thousand resi-
dent members. A careful revision of the list
Justifies the assumption that Oh per cent of
them are Grant men.
Probably there is no organization of similar
size in the country in which both the Presi-
Dental candidates are better known, than in
this. Gen. Grant has long been an honorary
member-has frequently been guest of the
club, andis personally known to large num-
Der of its members. From the victory of Don
elson to this hour, his name has been the
synonym of loyalty, patriotism and achieve
ment, within its walls. 1t is never mention
ed, without recalling the memorable days,
when the news of his great victories in the
field sent thrill of joy through all hearts
and made men feel that rebellion had at last
found its master.
The man who proved himself the most
illustrious soldier of continent, and the best
conservator of honorable peace during sin
gle decade, would naturally inspire senti-
ments ofadmiration and pride. But towards
Gen. Grant, there is among those who know
him the deeper feeling of gratitude and love.
GEN. GRANT IN PERSON.
The modesty of his bearing, the purity OF
his character, the sincerity of his heart, are
exemplified in his daily walk and converse

Sad Death at Bethel.

Just two months ago the citizens of Bethel
Hill were shocked by the death of darling
little boy the only child of E. Foster, Jr., ESQ.,.
who retired at night as well as usual and died
before morning. Friday morning the commu-
nity were again shocked with the news that the
mother of the child, Mrs Alkaline Lowe Fos-
ter had died Thursday evening from the effects
of chloroform, which she had purchased that
day at Wiey's drug store. Ever since the death
of her boy her mind has been constantly devot
ed to his memory, and no efforts of her hus-
band seemed capable of diverting her from it,
and she felt that her boy needed her now more
than any one else, which led to the act that
caused her death. She had visited some of her
intimate friends during the day and appeared
as social as usual; weeded out some flowers in
her garden in the afternoon, and attended to
other domestic duties; but early in the evening
complained of being unwell and retired. AT
Q clock her husband went to her room and
FOUND 10 her lying calmly on her side with bottle
OF chioroform to her face. She had evidently
been dead hut q short time. A letter lay on
tne table directed to her husband, and written
with steady though hurried hand. 1t read as
follows:
My dear. my much loved husband:-As l
commence TINS, knowing it is my last letter to
you, the years we have lived together in such
sweet happiness come up before me, Won have
been good husband dear Enoch, and / pray
your remaining years of earthly life NAV he
filled with happiness. feel it is nv duty to
go now, although it is hard to leave YOU and
mother. Tell her it will be but little while
before she will come too
She then makes disposal of her personal
effects to her friends, and closes her letter as
follows:-'My darling husband, goodbye for a
little while. Be sure l am dead before L am
buried"
Mr.. and Mrs. Foster have been married eight
years and were surrounded with everything that

A Small Sensation.
VAUDEVILLE, June II, 1872


To the Editor Of the Press. 1@i
Your sensational despatch from Colby Uni
versity last Saturday is calculated to mislead
the public. Somebody must have been badly
scared, to have magnified two-minute tussle
into general fight. A slight scratch on the
hand of one person is scarcely worth trumpet
ing abroad as scene of bloodshed. 1 assure
you it has neither been necessary to call out the
militia, nor to summon the entire police force
of Waterville, to wit, one Waterman, to queIl
Neither has there been any rebelling against
the authority of President Chaplin, as your
alarmed correspondent would have people be-
leve. As for hazing, those who are acquainted
with the sentiments of the President and Fac
ulty, know very well that anything of that sort
would be dealt with most summarily There
has been no occasion yet for discipline in this
respect. 1t is the season of the academic year
when most mischief is concocted, and, as the
almanacs would say, about this time look out
for silly pranks, followed by suspensions and
disgrace .'...',. s--'. -. WINSLow

Manufactures and the p. & O. Railroad.

There are certain persons in our midst who
seem anxious to give point and efficacy to
their hostility to the P. & o. R. R., by la
bored and repeated contrasts of the results to
be reaped, as they assume, from investment
respectively in the railroad and in manufac-
lures. The sum of their arguments and con-
clusions is, that while the loan to the railroad
will be lost, and the city thereby be bankrupt
ed and ruined, the same investment in man
ufactures would add ''ten thousand to our
population and augment our general pros
perity in the same amazing proportion.
Now beyond doubt these gentlemen, who
almost to a'man find only iniquity and un-
constitutionality in municipal aid to railroads,
would not advocate municipal aid to manu-
features! They have in view, of course, only
individual subscription not public contribu-
ton to manufactures. Yet it is not observed
that they follow up their newspaper declama-
tlon and demonstrations by actual investment
In diversified industries. They understand
1ull well, as all intelligent men understand.
that 10 eStaoish a successful manufacture is
one OF the most delicate and difficult enter
prises in the whole round of economical in
dustry. They know how cautious capital is
everywhere in making such investments.
They know how extremely difficult it is to
secure competent managers of great manu-
factories, SO that $4,000 is a common salary
and $4,000 not rare. They know that the
Board OF Manufactures of this city have had
more than one specific enterprise in hand
but so far as we are informed, none of these
eager opponents of the railroad have made
haste to pledge in definite amounts their CO.
operation in such enterprises. The truth is
that of the manufactures and the railroad.
started in this country, larger proportion of
the former than of the latter have proved dis
astrous ventures and have involved public
and private loss. This we say not to discour-
age manufactures, but to show how idle and
foolish is the ASSUME tion that money invested
in manufactures must necessarily or will
probably pay better than money invested in
railroads.
But we beg to know what agency is doing
more to promote manufactures, if not in our
midst at least in our vicinity and to our profit
ana advantage, than this same Portland and
ogdensburg railroad? At Madison falls a
pup ana paper mill is getting ready for oper-
a'i'h' 'he machinery is in part upon the
ground. AT Little Falls, $50, 900 stone dam
mas been put IN, and two concerns, one on
each side, are getting ready for occupancv.
AT Gambo the powder works have started nm
that would have been finally closed but for
the railroad One half of Steep Falls is now
under negotiation for new manufactorv
