THE PORTLAND AND OGDENsBuRG RAIL
RoAD.-This road from ST. Johnsbury to
Hyde Park, iifty-two miles, is all ballasted
except short distance on the western end,
and that will be concluded within few
days. The traveller upon it will be sur
prised at the even and gentle manner he is
taken over it.
From Hyde Park to the western terminus
of the road at Swanton and Lake Cham
plain, the distance Is about forty miles.
Fifteen miles of this section is ready for the
ties and rails, and rails are laid upon a few
miles of the west end. The heavy work on
the other twenty-five miles is mostly done,
and the intention is to complete this section
the present season.
OF the eastern end of the road twenty
two miles from st. Johnsbury to Connect

and upon which cars have run for several
months, leaving fourteen miles from West

Our correspondent, "Fairvicw,' is right
about highways. A community's thrift is
much judged by its roads. A village is
something like large family, and we
should feel like wondering what was wrong
if we saw a fine place with its walks torn
up, and those paths that always lead
through pleasant places, when they arc
about the homestead left to fall into dis
creditablc neglect. Good roads for bust
ness. agreeable drives for visitors, neat
walks for pedestrians, are things to attract
and please. and they pay in the long rum.
Stingness never pays.

Frazier sprang out saying that he would

was drowned. 1t is thought that he was

THE LARGEST LOCOMOTIVE EVER BuuT.
The Central Railroad folks, at their works
at West Albany, have just turned out the
largest locomotive ever built. 1t is pom
derous engine, with a cylinder II X "a,
which is capacity much greater than was
ever attempted before. This has been found
essential from the rapidly growing business

A Sow AND KITTENS. l.. Nichols has
a SOW and a cat, which have strange at
taclment for each other. Two years ago.
when the SOW was bringing up Il litter of
pigs, little kitten strayed into the pen,
took its place in the litter, and was assigned
to one of the feeders. The pigs grew up
and were separated from the maternal EN-
brace, but the kitten remained and kept its
place beside the sow. In due time, another
litter of pigs appeared and the kitten formed
one of the new family, and acted as older
sister. As this litter of pigs separated from
their mamma, the kitten attempted to sup
ply their places with half dozen small
cats, which the SOW deyoured heartily, and
seemed grateful for the present. Sow and
kitty then were sole companions till another
litter of pigs appeared, when kitty kept up
her family relations. She sleeps ON the
sow's back and seldom leaves the pen.
These aifectionate companions may be seen
at any time under the livery stable barn,
and are one and inseparable. We doubt if
another instance of the kind can be pro-
duced in the State. -Lynd0n Union.

business so easily and with such little care.

had three sons. The first was sent out by
his father to seek his fortune, and the sec
ond, and the third. The first went to Il
carpenter and after he had served him
faithfully he gave the boy table When
the boy was hungry all he had to do was to
say to the table ''cover yourself" and all
kinds of meat acd wines and dainties would
appear on it. Providence gave us Il table,
and we only wanted faith to say ''covcr
yourself !" He did not suppose David ever
read this fairy story, and yet he could not
help connecting with it what David said ;
Thou spreadest table for me-: The pro-
violence of God was infinite in its supply
we lacked the faith to appreciate the good
things.

en- him ?" And Lizzie rushed from the room,
followed by Mrs. Tomkins.

A moment after, Lizzie was down upon her
knees beside the ghastly face and rigid form
of her uncle. An empty pistol lay beside
him; and single glance at the lacerated
brow and scalp Of the unfortunate man re-
vealed how sudden must have been his transit
tion from Time to Eternity-from his subtle
schemes and avaricious plottings and plans, to
the presence of the Judge of the Fatheress
and the Widow, whom he had so atroclously
defrauded and wronged.
The screams of Lizzie and Mrs. Tomkins
brought in the police and number OF cltl'
zens, and, among the latter, Theodore Rob-
ertson. He-poor fellow had been lurking
about the premises all the evening, and had
but just made up his mind to effect an en-
trance by stealth, and obtain, if possible,
private interview with his dear Lizzie, when
the report of pistol, and the mortal shrek
of the suicide, struck terror to his heart. The
attempt to force the street door was quite IN.
effectual, however, and not until the arrival
of the police was the coveted admission OBJ
tained
Having possessed himself of all necessary
information as to the cause of the pistol shot
and the screams of the women, and having
satisfied himself as to the safety of Lizzie, he
waited until the excitement had somewhat
abated and the crowd dispersed, and then re-
vealed himself to the poor girl, whose ALARM
terror and excessive agitation of mind was
soon quieted, soothed and forgotten, upon the
bosom of her lover and in the blessedness of
the consciousness that he was true to her.
A coroner's inquest was held upon the body
of Jacob Mason the following day, and ver-
dict rendered in accordance with the facts al
ready stated. He was decently inferred IN
due time, and the secret cause of his tragic
death buried with him.
The two packages Of papers were submitted
to Theodore some time after MIR. Mason's
death. The contents of Number One" prov
ed a base forgery, and Lizzie's father was DON
aid Gray, after ALL The contents of "Num-
Der Two"-with the exception of Theodore's
letters-were Immediately destroyed, and the
terrible disclosures never revealed. Lizzie,
being the only surviving relative of MIR. Ma
son, inherited all his property, most of which
had been acquired by her poor dead fathers
hard earnings. After long months of oppo-
sition, on the part of Mr.. Edward Robertson,
which Theodore had vainly endeavored to
overcome, Lizzie became the wife of her de-
voted lover. To their equal surprise and graf
i6cation, Mr.. Robertson cameto the wedding,
and-like good, sensible man-fargave this
first act of disobedience on Theodore's part,
and expressed himself reconstructed" on the
question of his marriage. Old Mrs. Tomkins
to this day, speaks Of the exalted piety of
"poor brother Mason" but Lizzie now knows
him to have been but "outwardly righteous
unto men, but full of hypocrisy whited
