good"-that is as nearly as we can rem
der 1.-the quotation''-and perhaps will
suffice for the illustration. The recent
fire in this place, "hurt" quite a number
of our citizens, but then it has been the
means of giving employment to quite a
number of others and those, too, who
greatly need employment. Hence our
reference to the wind business. In mis-
unusually mild December weather, our
old, familiar GSquare" is once again the
scene Of busy labor. Workmen are
industriously engaged in removing the
walls of the destroyed buildings, clean
ing the bricks, throwing out the dirt
from the cellars, and carting it away;
preparatory for operations by those who
have CONTRACTS" to put up new build
ings on the site of the block consumed.
And all this reminds us that there is,
after all, more "snap" in our citizens
than, usually they have had credit for,
or themselves took pains on proper oc-
casions to manifest. In the language of
an obscure but worthy poet. "Emergen-
ces are required to stir us up"
We are glad to know that our citizens
are bestirring themselves in the matter
of making better provisions for the pro-
lection of their property against the
ravages of fire, than they at present
,Dosears A D,aat;nD uaS hold OF tba
court house on Wednesday evening last,
at which the matter was under advise
ment. An agent Of some steam fire en-
gine manufacturing Company was pres
ent, and very clearly set forth the ad-
vantages of the steam-power apparatus
over that worked by hands, but whether
his representations were such as to i'm
press those who heard him with the be-
lief that necessity exists for this vii
lage to incur an expense of Sc, 400 for
the kind of machine he would recon-
mend, we are unadvised. But it was
evident that all who were present appre-
ciated the importance of taking some
steps looking to the early provision for
the village of some kind of fire extin-
gushing machine.
Now, as the purchasing of such a
machine is a matter in which all our
citizens are interested, to greater OF
less degree, we deem it wise move on
the part of our village officials, to ask
the citizens of the town for an express
sion of opinion before they officially
move in the premises. This, they have
done, and we are informed that meet.
ing will be held during the coming
week, at which it is hoped that the voice
of the people may be SO clearly ennun
ciated that our wide-awake council
may feel no further timidity in "pro
ceeding Immediately forward"

Steam towage is about to be introduced on
tue canals Of New York on the cable principle.
The motive basis of the system Is the same as
that OF running train OF cars, except that the
wheels of the cars run over stationary rail-
while the canal cable, corresponding to the rall,
runs over the steamers wheel. But train of
canal boats is dragged along on the same prin-
cipie as train of cars; and. as the cable lies a.
the bottom OF the canal and is lifted over the
steamers wheel only as it is used. it in owise
interferes with the navigation of the canal bv
other boats. The Buffalo Advertiser estimates
that six boats can I've taken from Buffalo to
Troy by his systt m at a cost Of s240, while the
cost of towing the name number by mules is
s735. This system Of steam towing by cable is
III successful operation IN several European
countries, very largely in Belgium and on the
river Seine in France, for towing boats between
Havre and Paris. II successful in New York, il
will no doubt be introduced upon all the main
canals OF this country. Horse or mule power il
behind the age. 1t 10 too slow, too expensive II
canals are to keep their places az means OF
transporting the products OF a country from one
location to another, they must find some means
to insure at all times cheap aud speedy trans
pSrtaiion. Perhaps stean. towing by cable is
just the thing required.

Canada has worse Credit Mobilier than ours.
-. Sir Hugh Allan, Knight of the grab bag
order, wanted the control of the Canadian Pacific
Railroad, toward which the Government contrib
utes heavy subsidy. He used his money hber-
ally in the Parliamentary elections, first, got the
late Sir George e. Cartier under his thumb,th
fastened on the Premier, Sir John A. Macdon-

= ID the certainty of fobbing the subsidy. 1t was
vry expensive to him-costing, upto certain
pa iod, as one Of his unearthed letters states,
ssss 900 in gold, besides immense pledges OF

This is shocking piece Of scandal. 1t gives
ia chance to put on very virtuous look and
lecture the Canadians at round rate. Let nj

did with the Credit Mobilier.

The opposition to General Butlers aspirations
for the Governorship of Massachusetts, is COM
poaed of various elements, but the strongest
seems to be a lack of sympathy with his politi-
cal style His method OF operAtion-his bold,
a tgressiye, turbulent, mode Of fghting-is not
pleasant to that class of cool, calm, earnest and
precise Massachusetts people. whose warmest
feeling are bound up in /" the Commonwealth, =
and who look upon the statues Of her famo,
sons, In the Capitol. with veneration. Even 1T.
Loring, digniAed. rotund, magnificent, does lot
make up their ideal of Governor.
While this is trus, it may be questioned
whether these earnest folks fully and fairly
measure General Butler. Is it not quite true that
he is likely to make good GOVERNOR To use the
language of Western PAPER, " however men
"msy condemn Buffers opinions course in
"a, aiious matters, it cannot be denied by any
fair man that, as a ruler, wherever he has been
tried be has proved himself vigorous. bold,
faithful, and exceedingly able and efficient y
The chances are strong, we think, that Butiel
will be Governor. In order to beat him for the
nomination there must be much more hard wori
than is now likely to be done, aud once nomina
ted, the Republican forces will elect him, il
epite of the formidable bolt that is threatene
and s likely to occur.

The whole subject of the transportation of

X the steamers of our own country can be en-

commerce ID 30 small in comparison with ours
