Our Great Atlantic FerTy-What II Brings Us
The Traffic OF Is72.
Great as has been the growth Of this country's
domestic prosperity, and rapid as has been its
progress in population, wealth and internal trade
during the past ten years. its intercourse and
commerce with foreign countries, and especially
with Europe, haye been even more remarkable.
just thirty-fve years ago, one bright morning
10 Aprl-,he 23d, if the record stands true-the
plucky little steamer Sirius (she was but little
over four hundred tous burden), having succeed
ed in padding her way across the pond" in the
teeth Of stiff gales from the westward, dropped
her anchor 10 the North river, amid tumutuous
cheers, the ringing Of bells, and magnificent dis
play Of vari-coIored bunting. She came direct
from Cork, and had an eighteen-day passage, bav-
ing left the harbor on the 5th. Some hours later
of the same memorable 23d arrived the Great
Western, from Bristol These we're the first
vessels that crossed the Atlantic propelled who'll
ly by steam, and the drdNt-couriers or pioneers
Of the truly formidable Aeet-more than thrice
three-score strong"-which now furrow and fret
its waters.
In 1870 the Cunard-the first Of the great At
lantic steamship companies to establish regular
communication between the two countries-went
into operation. In 1861 the number of lines
had extended to eight, and the number of steam
ers employed by them had correspondingly in-
creased to forty-two. Great as was this advance
equal to two vessels year for the entire Pc
riOd-it appears absolutely insignificant when
compared with the stride taken between 1861
and 1873. During this period of II years--a
period which may well be termed the " iron age"
of ship-bullding-we find the number of lines in
creased to fourteen, and the number Of vessels
actually running to l35, with upward of 40 more
in process Of construction.
The following table will illustrate better than
mere words can do the present numerical strength
and capacity of the ocean feet. The lines stand
recorded in the order Of their numerical strength,
and not in the sequence of establishment by their
respective companies:

nIormonism in EngIaud.

At conference of Mormons, which was held
at Manchester, England. the other day, under the
presidency of Brother Potts some interesting in
formation was given respecting the progress of
Mennonite affairs in that part of the country.
After singing hymn, of which the refrain was
on Babylon, Oh babylon, bid thee farewell;
We're going to the mountains Of Ephraim o dwell.
The following statistical report for the nine
months ending the 3lst ultimo, was read The
Conference was made up of fourteen branches
There were seventeen elders, thirty-six teachers,
and twenty-nine deacons thirty-three persons
had been baptized during the nine months four
had been communicated, five had died, seven
teen had emlgrated, and there were, at the pres
ent time including members and officers, $40
saints in Manchester and the district During
the same nine months there had been received
and expended q cum of e2SS"-not quite ten
shillings a saint-which shows that whatever the
errors Of MOrmOnism, is it not a costly sect. as
times go. Brother Schofeld gave a most salts
factory account of the Mancheste branch, which,
be said, had nearly 100 members "all in good
condition." that was to say, leading reputable
lives, aud not ashamed of their faith but he re-
GREETED to state that some few we're mot exact
ly what could be wished" 1t was some consola-
ton. however, TO know that there was margin
of improvement 10 all of them. The saints IN
Manchester felt encouraged, stimulated and built
up and FROM personal knowledge Brother scho-
field was able to say that there never was time
when the spirit of emigration prevailed among
them more strongly than now. The time was
when the Manchester branch could boast 1000
members Why were there SO few now compar-
ativelyl Because the better class of them
those having most meaus-had emigrated, eav
ing the poorer ones behind them. Brother
Stones reported upon the Pendlebury branch,
which numbers forty members, all first rate"
" They are" added Brother Stones, f" all good"
Altogether, the Mormonites seem to be doing
well In Manchester and its neighborhood, and it
is only fair on them to admit that, if they cannot
report all their members as being in good con-
diton," there are others in that city whose mode
of transacting business is mot exactly what
could be wlshel"-PaR Mall Gazette.

scrplion of the defaulier and his booty. aud &
reward for bis apprehension, were posted all over
town.
That day wore on without any news OF the
missing person or property but early on the fol-
lowing morning banker from Southampton
arrived by post bringing with him the uote-case
aud bag containing all the valuables. He said
7 that the landlord of the inn where the coach
stopped asked him to come and see stranger
supposed to be dying and who wished to make a
communication about a large sum of money he
bad in hs possession. On arriving at the inn,
the person told him his name and business, and
said that he had been suddenly seized with n
stupor while out collecting As the ct was CON-
ing on, be hailed coach, which be supposed to
be hackney one in order to secure his money,
and knew nothing more till be recovered bis
senses at the Southampton inn. Notwithstand-
ing bis eagerneSs to have the money sent on to
Coutts, the old banker half suspected that be
had gone to Southampton to take steamer for
the Continent but missing it invented the story
of the stupor to conceal his evil intent. But
though he was dismissed from the bank on the
ground that bis liability TO such attacks would
impair his usefulness, present was given to him,
large enough 10 secure comfortable annuity.
Coutts' liking for bright as well as aristocratic
company, drew to his dinners many wits, especially
those Of the theatrical profession, OF which be was
very fond In this way he became acquainted
with Harriet Mellon, the well-known actress
whom he married on the death of his first wife
in 1915. She proved an excellent wife to him
and at bis death, seven years after their marriage
at the age Of ninety-one. was left in unrestrained
possession Of all his personal and landed property,
including a very large share 10 the immense an
nual profits of the clearinghouse. Though she,
afterwards married the Duke of st. Adams, Mrs.
Coutts did not part with the control Of her vast
property, which she left in supposed accordance
with her first husbands wishes, to his favOrite
granddaughter
LADY BURDETT coUTrs' FORTUNE.
Lady Burdett Coutts still retains her interest
in the clearinghouse, and her vauables are stored
in the strong boxes built by her eccentric grand
father. Some ten years ago it was estimated
that her wealth, in the form of sorereigns, would
weigh thirteen tons, and would ill one hundred
and seven -four sacks. The old firm of Coutts
& Co., in which she is the principal proprietor
is still the most aristocratic Of London bankers,
and has just admitted as partner Lord Walter
Campbell, brother of the Marquis of Lorne.

NIother Goose Not a Myth.

Providence journal:

tied Mother Goose's Melodies" In the first
paragraph is this sentence Here the tradition

name history does not reveal" In this statement,
however, the writer is 10 error for so far from
Mother Goose" being a creature of fancy, she
was we beg to assure him, veritable parsonage.
The mother-in-law of Thomas Fleet, the editor,
in 1871, of the Boston Weekly Rehearsal, was
none other than the original Mother Goose-the
Mother Goose of the world-lamous melodies
Mother Goose belonged TO q wealthy family 10
Boston, where her eldest daughter, EIizabth
to Fleet, and IN due time gave birth to a son.
Like most MOthers-in-law in our day, the import
ance of Mrs. Goose increased with the appear
ance Of her grandohId, and poor Mrs. Fleet, half
distracted with her endless nursery ditties, find
ing all other means fail, tried what ridicule could
effect, and actually printed book with the title
"Songs for the Nursery, or Mother Goose's Melo-
dies for Children. printed BY I. Fleet, at his
printing house, Padding Lane, Boston. Price ten
coppers."
Mother Goose was the mother OF nineteen
children, and hence we may easily trace the orr

RAIL ROAD MEETING.
subscrIptlOn Books OPENED.

The meeting which was held in the Court
House on Wednesday evening last, was the
most enthusiastic Railroad meeting which
has yet been held in this borough. The
court room was we'll filled although it was
one of the coolest nights of the season, and
every one seemed to be impressed with the
Importance of building a road. The meet
ing was organized by calling Mr.. George s.
Barnett, to the chair and the appointment
of Frank Mortimer, as Secretary. Ap-
propriate speeches were made by G. J. T..
McIntre, Esq, Chas. A. Barnett, Esq,
Mr.. VIM. Willis and others. A resolution
was then adopted asking subscriptions for
the building of a railroad that should con-
meet the borough of Bloomfield, with the
Pennsylvania Rail Road, leaving the other
point to be decided upon by a majority of
stock subscribed, SO that those who are
interested in having any particular point
for the junction must aid the enterprise.
A committee was appointed to solicit
subscriptions. The chair appointed as said
committee, Frank Mortimer, ]. W. Kline
peter, VIM. Lupfer, Thos. Sutch, Lewis
Potter, and Jesse Mckee, and by vote Of
the meeting George S. Barnett, was added
to that committee. The meeting then
passed resolution requesting the county
papers to give the enterprise as much aid as
possible and to call special attention to the
next meeting which is to take place on
Wednesday evening, February 18th. The
meeting then adjourned. Previous to adj
journment, however, over $4,000, of stock
was taken.

the people, to oppose corruption and usurpa-
tion, and to preserve and purify the American
institutions that made our country the "Model

we have had some weather that would have
been creditable to the Arctic regions. On
Thursday morning the thermometer in front

below zero, being Is degrees lower than it
was at any other time this winter. AT
Delyille and at Millerstown dam the mcr-

and at various other places it went as low
as 80 deg We have kept record of the

until this winter the coolest weather we
have recorded is degrees below zero, SO
that last Thursday was 90 degrees colder
than the coldest day of any previous winter
since our record was commenced.
