The projectors of the present through
road. having to choose between the ad-
vantages of agricultural Aroostook and
the towns of the southeastern seaboard,
chose TO defect their line far to the north,
though II really accommodates neither sec
ton. But they have really the inside
track. The growth of the State will help
them: they escape the competition OF sea
navigation. and the agricultural product OF
upper kennebec, Piscataquis and Aroos-
took are sure to pay tribute to them. The
shore towns left out, many of them pros
porous and wealthy, established on rivers
where falls that afford water power meet
tide waters. and thus eligible for manuisc-
lures. are demanding railway communica-
tions. Ii would be folly to build single
lines as Belfast did, connecting each town
with the great trunk line hundred miles
OFF They must have a continuous shore
line, and lying nearly upon parallel this
line must be straight. But they cannot
build road or make il pay affer ii Is built
unless they have the through business from
st. John and Halifax; their shorter line
VIII give them this business. Let the
northern roai take the interior and the
north, and freight the growing products
and lumber of Aroostook. Piscataquis and
upper st. John. and use the million acres
OF public lands and the large sum OF mon
ey they received. TO make up any loss.
Let the shore road besides its local bus
mess have also the through business of the
provincial sea-coast. and with steamboats,
and sailing vessels in competition and no
land n ants or gratuities, they will have a
hard enough time. This policy and this
arrangement is so just. and SO calculated
To develope In fair competition the pro-
ductive resources of the State, that the
Legislature ought to see to 1t, that IL be
not interrupted or retarded by any COM
bination, corruption or chicane. The Bos-
ton and Maine by expending one halt The
cash it has cost to extend its line into Port
land. in eking out the stock subscription or
guaranty OF the shore line road. would
have direct route TO ST. John as complete
ly under its control as the existing system
of roads are under the control of the East
ern. The whole State Is interested in
building these .wo lines. and having them
kept independent of each other, and there
Is no road that Portland has a more vital
interest in. as that which will give her a
land communication with st. John aud the
eastern towns. her best customers. To sup
plement the steamboat connection she has
found so advantageous.

MYSTERIOUS Death Al New Hampton, n. II
SUSPICIOUS OF MURDER.
HENRY WILSON.

NEW HAMPTON, n. H., Sept. 10, 1873.
Tue following is history of the parties
and the circumstances of the supposed
tragedy:
MRS. pATTEE
Had lived for many years in the house
where her death occurred. The home.
stead Is about mile from the VILLAGE of
Ashland. IL is located in a picturesque
portion OF the town and the house itself a
avery pleasant one, while stretching away
from It are the fertile acres Of the farm.
MRS. Pattee had lived there since her mar.
rage many years ago with her first hus-
oanu, DR.. Jackson. She was about 60
years old at the time Of her death. Her
nrst marriage had been fruitful in domestic
happiness, and competency had fallen TO
her lot Her character was above the
shadow Of reproach and she was respe tied
ny the entire community.
WILLIAM s. PATTEE
Is nearly OF the same age as the deceased.
who was his third Wife He Is said In he
native of Grafton county, and his occu-
patton up to his last marriage was that of
strolling clock cleaner. His reputation
has been doubtful one for many years
and grave suspicious are afioat concerning
tue oeatn OF his second wife, who died and
was buried in Alexandria, as was his first
wife. The second wife died in September
1877, and soon after he became a visitor at
Mrs. JacksOn's whose acquaintance he had
previously made while wandering about
the country. The neighbOrs were surprised
that she should have any association with
him. Pattee seemed aware that his repu-
tatiOn was such as would not advance him
In her esteem, and SO he suddenly became
Interested in religious matters, and was
converted" as he termed it, in a Metho-
dist revival meeting. There was to an.
pearance considerable change for the bet
ter Ia his conduct, and Mrs. Jackson he
lieved him sincere.
THE PROPERTY.
There was disparity in the worldly situ-
alton Of the two, for Pattee never seemed
TO get ahead, and was generally considered
70 be in quite limited circumstances. He
was very gracious, however, on that sub
ect, and an nte-nuptial contract was
signed, each agreeing that after
marriage neither should attempt any con-
r0l Of the property Of the other. Matters
laviug been arranged the marriage took
place In November last, only two months.

Wednesday Sept. 18th, fire broke out
In the lumber district OF Chicago, burning
with great fury until near midnight. The
entire fire department of the city was on
the ground. About sixty four houses were
burned. being a loss of from $3.50, 900 90
s3o0,OOQ.
The fire started in the hay depot of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad
Company at Newbury street, aud the
locality where 1t originated is built up
almost entirely of wooden buildings,
mainly dwellings Of the poorer class, and
the point where the fire starred is about
half mile nearly south from the point
where the great fire of October, 1871,
originated. Only one brick building was
burned. The loss to the poor people
rendered homeless. however, Is severe.
The prairie west OF the fire Is covered with
household goods.
