FROM the Chicago Tribune, we learn that the
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railroad Company
have surrendered all their roads under per.
petu.l lease TO the Pennsylvania Company, and
though there is no Official statement yet to
confirm the report it is in all probility true.
BY this arrangement the Pennsylvania Com
pany add 1900 miles to the already enormous
extent of roads in its control that traverse not
only the States, but the continent In every di-
rection, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The
Pennsylvania Company now controls the Union
Pacific, the proposed Southern Pacific, and by
the conquest OF the Milwaukee and ST, Paul
will probably control the Northern Pacific
These are all the trans-continental roads that
will be built in the I'm led States for at least
a generation to come, and, 18th this power, the
Pennsylvania Company Will uGSHuotedly con-
troll the trade OF Asia and the Pacific Islands
with the United States. In this view Of the
case scarcely any limit can be set to the power
this monstrer corporation il likely TO attain in
few years.

the fire by the use OF the large Babcock engine,
which has alrerdy quenched three fires without

EXHIBITION Grammar Department OF
our Public school gave an exhibition on Tues
day and "Wednesday evenings of thus week
The severe weather on Tuesday prevented a
large attendance that evening, and perhaps
kept some away on Wednesday. Yet the at
tendance must have been very good as the
school melted $50, after paying all expenses.
As matter of course the entertainment was
a fine one-equal to any gwen by the school
dunng the past two years-and this is saying
considerable.
We have not space to give the entire pro-
gramme and do not care to make distinctions
when all the exercises wero so good; but we
must mention the "Class" al single "Songs,
Tine Dumb Bells" 1.-THE Miliners' "When
