quite sudden and unexpected. Being on the

The Concord Railroad.

This road has Just elected new Board OF
Directors One popularity Of this election is
the election Of the Presidents and leading
officers Of the Boston, Concord * Montreal
and Northern roads, to.be directors Of Concord
corporation. There are two solutions 10 this
practical Constitution Of these roads. One is,
u guard against the contingency OF the Cen
trail Vermont reaching Boston over any line
which is not controlled by the Northern, and
the other is, to give the lower roads an opportu-
nifty Of reaching the West without going over
the Central Vermont Undoubtedly both ideas
have had something 10 do with this result.
The lower roads have done all they could TO in
urc the credit Of the Vermont Central, and
now they want to he Independent Of IT, De-
irving as it does it, main business from the
Central. the Northern, under the management
Of Gov. Stearns, has been constantly seeking
either to absorb or iniure the Central The
curse it Is taking will ultimately weaken
nothing but itself II the Central should seek
10 be independent Of the Northern in IL Boston
business, it will unque-tionahly accomplish
its purpose. The Lowell road has Just been
defeated in Massachusetts,, in its attempt to
grasp the Fitchburg and It's western connec-
tons, and we doubt if the Northern will sue
coed where the Lowell fails. This action Of
the Concord may puta little more life into the
Montpelier & Wells River road, and insure a
connection between Marshfsld and Hard
wick, with the Portland & Ogdensburg road
If it does, the city Of Portland and the Portland
4 Oglensburg road will have an opportunity
to study the vanity Of human expectations.

our streets The fire which was very bright.
lighting up the entire neighborhood, was soon
found to he on Seminary hill, and fears were
expressed that the large boarding house of the
Methodist Seminary was in flames. These
fears, however, proved to be groundless, the
fire being occasilned by the burning of the
house, shed and barn Of Mr.. Stephen Cochran
The fire caught in the second story Of the
kitchen part of the house, hut by what means
is unknown. The house was good two story

had made such progress before assistance was
at hand that the buildings were a total loss.
Some Of the furniture in the front part Of the
house was saved but most of the clothing was
burned. Insured for So 500. So, 1850 on build

promptitude, considering the time of night,

while through the loyal land to-day
Whose peace no passion mars,
The mellow bugles ring and play
The Old Flag lifts IL stars.
Above the green and grassy mounds
Where hands are crossed In rest
The sweetest May-nower's woven crowns
Are laid on yalor's breast.
The rarest blooms Of sun and rain
Are not too sweet nor fair
To deck the silent ranks Of slain
Who sleep 10 glory there.
Where red war swept the wasted land
With shotted breath VI flame,
They bore the battles lifted brand
10 Freedoms sacred name.
The green earth gives them quiet room
And guards them far and near
She gives her bud and leaf and bloom,
Nor holds her gifts too dear.
And those who sleep where more may know,
Unmarked bs stone or name,
Who heed not how the seasons 90
The voice Of praise or blame,
Dear nature keeps with kindly care,
The stars watch from above,
And May-time sets her glad smile there
With all its wealth OF love.
Above their dreams the gra .ses lean
Through all the summer days,
To keep their loyal memories green
With tenderest need Of praise
And where they lie 10 all the land
On plain or mountain crest,
Sweet May has spread with lavish hand
Her flowers above their rest,

Memorial Day.

Come tread apart the beaten way
To where our country's patriots sleeps
Their shrnos with offerings Of our May,
Bestrew, and mourning vigils keep.
Forget not here the valiant dead,
Who bore the stars in battles storm,
Who snatched the drabhled folds and led
Where moved the azure uniform.
Count not country lost whose flag,
Bood-stained the dying soldier cheers
Though In the dust Its emhlems drag,
Borne through the cloud tsoon appears.
So have cur dead uphorne our shield,
And where the Blue sore met the Gray,
On many a bugle-rallieh field
They bled for US and won the day.
Dcrats the tardy yoars that still
No chisled shan their fame hands down,
Meanwhile with flowers your vases MI,
Aud hlushing, here your martyrs crown.
Por here they rest 10 whom we owe
The rescue Of our N is, when
Nigh half the stars had ceased 20 glow,
And reseuing led all valor then.

ALMOST FiRE AT THE JUNCTION HOUSE,
A fire was discovered in rear of the carriage
house of the White River junction House
about two o'clock, Monday morning. II mp
peared to have originated near the ground in
the back part Of a coal-bin, over which there
wasa lean-to or shed. The flames had followed
up the boards of the carriage house, which we've
very dry, to the caves, when discovered by one
of the help ; and the discovery was not made
one moment too soon to prevent complete
con1agration Of all the buildings upon the
premises. for fresh breeze was blowing at the
time. AS there is no way Of accounting for an
accidental fire where it first started, everything
seems to indicate that it must have been the
work of an incendiary.
