Mr.. Editor Only an occasional snore
disturbs the usual placidity of the town.
The snow has been gone for some time ex-
cept few drifts in. the woods. Last Satur-
day, May 8, was one of the coolest days
we have had, for the season, for long
time. History Of the clden time tells us
that America was once bed of ice and
snow, but that through the ever changing
process of time 1t became a warm and fer
tile country. With every winter growing
colder and longer can we not reasonably
imagine that old Time is at woLk in the
transforming process, and that we shall
again be clad in ice and snow for all time

Here, as well as elsewhere, tobacco is the
leading crop; but owing to the quantity
raised and the large amount of poor tobac-
co last year, but few of our farmers have

SHIP CANAL BILL.-A bill is on its pass
age In the New York legislature, appropri-
ating one million Of dollars to enlarge and
improve the canal from Hudson River to
Lake plain-making 1t capacious e.
nough for the passage of large vessels. In
the heaiing before the committee Sir John
Young, of Montreal, was present with
maps, showing plans Of the opening, by
canal, of ship channel from the outlet OF
Lake Cnamplain to the River st. Lawrence
thus giving shorter and complete ship
channel from New York City to the great
lakes of the west. The last named improve
ment is known as the Caughnawaga canal.
A change of the name, TO make it more
simple may well be suggested.
The Canadian government would make
this last named improvement but for the
limited means in its treasury. 1t is to be
done in some way, and when dole it will
secure one-half of the carrying business
from the west to the sea board, and aid il
settling the disturbing question respecting
railroad freights.
Vermont has as much interest in the
building of the canal from the Lake to thu
st. Lawrence as any eastern state. Indeed
what state, except that of New York, ha'
any thing like an equal interest in the mat
teri 1t would not exactly answer Gov
Clinton's idea of canal across the State o
Vermont, but i. would scarcely fall mucl
below 1t in public Importance.
The mere suggestion of such a magnifi
cent enterprise swells, with emotions o
pride, the heart Of every Vermonter. H
sees harbors of magnitude upon LAX
Champlain, at Swanton, Burlington, ant
elsewhere, with the whole length Of tn
lake marked with the signs of industr,
and thrift. The state had better contribut
largely to the capital of this canal, ralhe
than not have it completed. Once done
millions of dollars would be added to tn
wealth of the state, and every man VIII
uses barrel of flour would share in 1t
benefts.--St. Johnsbury Cdledonidn.

&C. p. F." contributes the following to
the Rutland Herald from Jamaica
1.-The public examination of teachers
for the common schools, was held on the
10Th of April in the village schoolhouse.
Four young ladies presented themselves
for examination. Only two of them receiv-
ed licenses. One of the disappointed ones
was a girl of Is summers, who was engage
ed to teach for $3.50 week and was unable
TO answer single question. So long as
school committees will hire such teachers
there will he need of a strict superintend-
encc. To carry out the penny wise policy
of the district, l am told, they are to call a
school meeting to see if they can obtain a
unanimous vote to put this girl into the
school, notwithstanding her manifest I'M
fitness.
sit becomes more and more manifest
every year, that the town system of schools
is the only available remedy for the bur-
densoine taxation of our small districts in
maintaining good schools. This question
should be agilated especially in our count
ry towns. The town system would equal
ize the size, the efficiency and the tax OF the
schools, they will still remain under the
full control of the voters of the town. Let
us try the town SYSTEM

into the stream below. The scene which
ensued was indescribably terrible. Strug-
Cling victims vainly endeavored to free
themselves from the ruins of the bridge
and from each other; large crowds of peo-
pie on the banks rushed wildly TO and fro,
many of them 80 distracted with terror as
to be unable to render assistance /" others
more self-possessed, speedily brought ropes,
planks and boats, and went nobly to work
to rescue the living and recover the dead.
Some of those who were on the bridge
when 1t fell, were so near the edge that they
were able to reach the land without assist
ance, while others were fortunately in
reach of those on shore. Up to Tuesday
20 dead bodies had been taken from the riv-
err, and IL is almost certain that there are
others still under the wreck of the bridge.
OF those saved, 20 we're more or less injur-
ed, some fatally.

CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
sCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP,
SCHENCK's SEAwEED TONIC,
sCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS,

Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary Con-
sumption.
Sometimes medicines that will stop cough will Oft
occasion the death of patient. 1t locks up the
liver stops the circulation of the blood, hemorrhAge

organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia are thecauses Of two
thirds of the cases Of consumption Many are now
complaining with dull pain in the side, the bowels
sometimes costive and sometimes too loose, tongue
coated, pain in the shoulder blade, feeling sometimes
very restless and at other times drowsy; the food
that ia taken lies heavily the stomach accompanied
with acidity and belching Of wind These symptoms
usually originate from disordered condition Of the
stomach torpid liver. Persons so affected, II they
take two heavy colds, and If the cough in these
be suddenly stopped, the lungs liver and stom
ach clog and remain torpid and inactive, and before
the patient il Of his situation the lungs

BILE result.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is e1pectorant which
does not contain any opium, nor any thing calculated
to check Q cough suddenly.
Scheuck's Seaweed Tonic dissolves the food, mixes
with the gastric juice of the stomach, dgests easily
nourishes the system, and creates healthy circula

The Legislative investigation into the
management of the Trustees of the Yer
mont Central railroad terminated at st. AL
bans on Tuesday. All allegations relating
to the car companies, secret service, i'm
proper legislative influence, personal ac-
counts, Northern Pacific railroad, foundry
materials, etc., were included In the testi-
mony offered, and the result Is looked up
on as complete vindication of the honor
of all concerned. On Saturday the COM
mittee made a thorough examination OF the
books OF the company from 1858 to the pres
emf time without finding any evidence of
fraud or peculation on the part of the trus-
tees. They were aided by Samuel Will
liams, former treasurer, Mr.. Coote, CHIEF
clerk Of the present treasurer, Mr.. Camp,
chief clerk of the shop department, and by
several other clerks. Mr.. Camp testified
that II was custo mary to sell materials that
could not rea lily be obtained, or old mate
rial, to ybody who wanted to purchase;
that the trustees had been charged regular
prices and had been treated in every re-
spect as other individuals. Mr.. Hobart
testified that the trustees never had deriv-
ed advantage from their positions In rela-
ton to freight. Gov. Smith was large
shipper of freight and paid full rates with
rut abatement. Mr.. Merrill, superintend-
emit, testified that he had occupied his pres
ent position since 1858, and had acted as
treasurer portion of the time, and 1t was
his belief that Gov. Smith never had re-
ceived dollar that did not rightfully be-
long to him. Several dispositions were pre-
scented, including one by Eugene Putnam,
fsrmer private secretary of Gov. Smith |;
and which accorded with the testimony of
Gov. Smith and other witnesses, except on
some points OF which it would appear he
could not have been personally cognizant.
The deposition of Daniel l.. Harris OF
Springfield, Mass, president of the Con-
necticut river railroad, was presented and
gave the opinion that the Central road can
not be economically managed, and has al
ready met with the loss Of $1,000, 900 Z; and
that with the best management there would
be such an annual loss.
The counsel for the tr ustees brought for
ward no testimony to prove their limo
cence, the charges against them being re-
garded as wholly unsubstantiated.

ORGANIZATION OF THE CENTRAL YER
MONT RAILROAD CoMPANY.-The prelim-
mary steps for the organization of the new
company, chartered by act Of the last Leg
islature, for the purpose of purchasing the
Vermont Central and Vermont q Canada
railroads, have been taken, and the
re organization of the roads under that char
ter, may be set down as fixed fact Pur
suant to notice, the Commissioners APP
pointed under the act, Hon. George Mich
OILS, Hon. John w. Stewart and Hon. Brad
tions to the slock of the new company, al
st. Adams, on the Both ult. Two millions
of dollars of the stock was subscribed for,
in cash, and 1927 900 payable in second
mortgage bonds. The books were then
closed. A majority of the stock was tax
en- by New York parties, including, as we
hear, the heavy firm OF Duncan, Sherman
& Co. T. w. Park. ESQ.,, subscribed $780,
900. The.remainder was taken by parties
in Boston and in Vermont
The act provides that when not less than
one thousand shares Of stock are AIKEN, the
Commissioners shall call meeting Of the
stockholders for the election of directors.
As.over twenty thousand shares have been
subscribed, there is no obstacle to the inn
mediate and complete organization of the
new company. We expect the speedy re-
tirement of she Vermont Central mortgage
bonds, as provided for by the act, and to
see the new company in full possession Of
the roads, "a contamination most devout-
| ly to be wished, as release of the roads
from their present condition sin chancery,'
and promise of relief from their present
troubles.-Burlington Free Press.

A MAINE TRAaEDY-Two MEN MI

A MAINE TRAGEDY-Two MEN MUIR
DERED AND THE MURDERER LYNcHED.-
One Saturday night, April Goth, the store of
Me-, Ia township lying to the northwest of
Pressure Isle) was broken into and a small
amount Of merchandise stolen. Suspicion
rested on one James Cullen, q native Of
New Brunswick but for two years a resi-
dent Of Mapleton, and on the following
Monday warrant was placed in the hands
of Granville A. Hayden of Presque Isle, q
deputy sheriff, for his arrest. Mr.. Hayden
on Tuesday started to follow Cullen, and
as Cullen was known to be a desperate fel-
low, he took with him Thomas Hubbard of
Chapman Plantation, and two young men
named Bird and Swanbeck. They found
Cullen about sunset at lumber camp on
the west side Of Chapman plantation, three
miles from any road and seven miles from
Balls mill. Cullen surrendered himself
peacefully, and as the officer and his posse
came in on snow shoes through the woods,
and were much fatigued, they concluded
TO spend the night in the camp and the Ave
men lay down to sleep. Towards morning
Cullen arose, got an axe and smashed in
the of skulls Hayden and Hubbard as they
lay sleeping. Swanbeek was awakened by
the blows and fed from the camp, Cullen
following him to the door and endeavoring
to strike him but without effect. By this
time Bird was aroused and Cullen went
for him with an axe. Bird plead for his
life, and Cullen spared him on condition
that he would never tell what he had seen.
Cullen then set the camp on fire, first, how
ever, rolling out some barrels OF flour and
pork which were stored In 1t. While he
was doing this Bird fed, found Swanbeck
In the woods, and the two men arrived at
Balls mill, with the terrible news about
o'clock Wednesday morning. Parties i'm
mediately started from the mill for the
camp, which they found In ashes, and the
bodies half consumed lying under the
ruins. In the meantime people from Gas.
tie Hill and Napoleon led by Constable
Hughes, started on search for the muir.
derer. They tracked him to the house OF
Samuel Williamson at Castle Hill, and the
constable demanded to know where he was
concealed. Cullen's wife said he was moi
there, but seeing the officer was not to bt
trified with, she owned that he was hidden
in the cellar. Hughes soon secured him
when the desperate owned his guilt, and
said he was glad of what he had done. The
constable took his prisoner and started fol
Presque Isle, but large party OF disguised
men met them a mile east Of Balls mills
in Napoleon, six miles from Prssque Isle
and took Cullen from the custody of Hughes

charging the sphere of their usefulness to

prosperity. We have also another class Of
men, without public spirit and devoid of

reader judge.
