thence south to North Troy. going dis
lance Of eighteen miles to reach North
Troy. when by running Eve they could
connect At Newport. thereby saving a dis
tanse Of thirteen miles. The whole route
covers a distance Of seventy miles bi the
South Troy route. II appears to US that
this route is uncalled.for, for several rea-
sous. Ii is in close proximity to the Pas
sumpsic. and nearly all the towns along
the line have easy access to this road add
the Portland & Ogdensburg
Irasburgh is only four miles from the
Passumpsic. while the road intersecis the
town of Coventry, The towns in the
southern part of the county, it is true, OBJ
tain shorter route TO Boston, but the
towns in the northern part will not gain
this advantage, being already accOmmo-
dated by the Passumpsic,
The Midland road, commencing at
North Troy, connecting at that place with
the road now building in Canada, passes
through Wcstfeld, Lowell, Eden, Hyde
Park, and connects a: johnson with the
p. & o. road, also with the contemplated
road from Essex Junction to Cambridge.
thus opening TO this section direct commu-
nication with the city of Burlington, and
securing to us what has been a long felt
want, viz: a market. Burlington, on ac-
count of its fue location and excellent
railroad facilities is destined, we believe,
to become the great mart Of this region.
This is the only route which affords us the
benefit we so much noel. Again, this
route opens direct communication between
Quebec aud New York. 1t traverses one
Of the best timbered sections in Northern
Vermont, which, for years to come, will
be a grca, source Of revenue to the roed.
1t covers but about 80 miles and furnishes
an OF portunity. such as is seldom found,
for profitable road. the towns along the
route are fully awake to the interest of hav.
lug road, Measures have already been
taken in Lowell and Westfeld for pre-
liminary survey and as soon as prat ticab!e
it will pc made. Now We ask railroad
men and capitalists to give the matter due
consideration. The towns are ready to
make the effort. What saJ the good citi-
zens of Burlington? PROGRESS.

Ex. Lieut.. Governor Underwood Of Rur.

counsel for the road.
On Tuesday Of last week the committee
met at the Weldon House in st Albaus at
10 o'clock a N. A question at once arose
as to the jurisdiction Of the committee,
Gov. Underwood holding that all matters
connected with the business management
we're properly cognizablc by the court of
chancery, and not by the committee. He
intimated that parties privately interested
in suits against the trustees were attempt.
ing to use the investigation TO promote
their own end. Mr.. Davenport claimed
the right of the committee 10 full inves-
tigatou, and the committee reserved then
decision 10 order to consult with Mr.. Grout
of the committee who was absent. Mr..
Davenport next defined the position Of
the road in chancery at some length, re-
viewing its history; when the examination
of witnesses commenced and has continued
till now. The testimony is very volumin-
ious, toe much so for weekly paper
and as an abstract might do in Justice We
defer comments till the committee make
their report.
The committee, on the arrival of Grout,
decided to make the examination very
thorough, and to take full jurisdiction.

The competitive Examination for the
appointment at West Point from this Con-
gressional District, closed Friday. The
following candidates presented themselves
for examination:
Robert b Somers of Jericho.
John S Raynolds Of Essex.
William L Gordon of Bolton
William A Soule Of Alburgh.
Charles NJ Wead of SHELDON.
John A Kidd of Burlington.
Francis Clark Of Burlington.
Medad G Marti, of Charlotte.
Erwin Il Baker of Colchester.
Patrick Colman of St. Adams.
Eben b Jewel Of St, Adams.
Fred II Mcfarland of Waterville.
Albert A Fleury Of IsleLaMott.
The ages of these applicants ranged
from II to 81.
The examination was conducted by Col.

Knox, and was exceedingly thorough.
Ten of the candidates remained through
the whole examination and We think it
would be very difficult to bring together
ten youny men, who, with the same OPP
portunities that these young men have
had could do better
The class were examined orally in men
tai arithmetic and they answered the
questions with rapidity which tested the
quickness and aptitude of the committee.
Any one Of the young men who re-
manned through the examination showed
ample qualifications for the appointment,
but as only one could receive the appoint
ment the examination was competitive
and the committee marked the results of
each question and each subject as the an
swcrs were given in, in a uniform manner.
combining the results of all the examina-
tons, in way that was perfectly fair
and impartial.
Upoa taking the results Of the examina-
tion upon the different subjects, it was
found that Medad G. Martin, of Charlotte,
had the first place, and Patrick Colman,
of ST. Adams, the second place but up
on further medical examination, DR..
Knox was in some doubt whether Martin
would come fully up to the standard, and
he being at the present time troubled with
a severe cold it was difficult now to dc.
eide that point. The committee, we I'M
derstand, determined TO Recommend both
Marlin and Colman, and let the matter be
finally determined on their examination
at West Point, and this seems to be the
fairest conclusion to which they could

an all-healing pain relievcr. Cripples throw
away their crutcher, the lame walk, poisonous

are healed without n scar. 1t is no humbug
The recipe is published around each bottle. It
is selling as no article ever before sold, and it
sells because it does just what it prctends TODD.

They brought me no tidiDgs for days
They kept me in darkness within and

Ninette had performed her dauutless

could tell ne exactly how it had occurred
some saying Niuette was unusually ex-

she was tired. She fell-fell with
light, sudden fall which would not have
hurt her, perhaps, but that her temple
