 We have meyer been called upon to chronicle so sad an event as took rlace in our town last week. On Friday the 23rd inst, little son of Frenchman by the name of Martin, started from hls home to meet his father who was chopping wood about quarter of a mile from the house. Alter about an hour the father returned home, and he having seen nothing of the boy, started to look him up. He searched until night and then the alarm was given, and about fifty men started in pursuit of the little wanderer. They looked all nigh; and until eleven o'clock the next forenoon, when the cold, lIfeless body of the poor little fellow WAS found about mile and a half from his home, in an open lot on the north side of Deans Hill the most bleak and exposed place he could have found His head was laid upon hls arm, and one of his boots he had taken off and chewcd the strap. The funeral was attended al the M. k. Church on Monday the 26th inst ......Our new conference room, which is nearly done, is to be very fine building and reflects great credit upon the builder.

SERENADE.

Look forth from thy window my lady love, The stars to invite thee; are bright above, When all earth is quiet; as earth may be, l wake my lady love to sing to thse.
 Then listen; sweet listen,
 Nor turn thee away,
 can tell thee by night,
 What dare not by day,
 For the blush, on thy cheek,
 That unbidden may steal,
 For the VOWS, shall utter,
 Nights shades will conceal I love, and adore thee-Nay shrink not to hear, The passionate breathings, that meet thine ear, Their flight may startle the niceness of pride, But love will not brook that his wings be tied.
 Then listen; sweet listen,
 Nor prove thee unkind,
 Through the hours by day,
 Thou art ever in mind,
 Thy form hovers near.
 When l turn me in sleep,
 From visions that torture,
 wake but to weep. [The following explanatory remarks were received with the above. ED. NEWS. "The purport of the serenade is to ex- press passionate love. You will perceive 1t lacks one stanza of four lines, the meas

BUsINKss PRosPxors.-1t has been the prediction of almost all who have much reputation as commercial prophets that business during 1874 would be active and remuneratiye, and we have already indica- tions that the activity has begun. Manu featuring, especially of textile fabrics, is progressing fsvorably, and few establish ments are idle. The fact that the cotton factories are running at profit is not the least gratifying feature of tho present con dition of affairs. The woolen manufac turing interest is in less prosperous con. dition. but those who are doing business with reasonable degree of caution are paying their way. The retail dry goods trade has hardly settled down to steady work on business principles, and there is still considerable driving off of goods a, less than cost for the sake of moving them. This Is not general, however, and IS likely to come to an end before long.
 Of other extensive New England indus. tries the manufacture of boots and shoes is justly cons idered one of the most inn portant. The demand for goods in this line seems to be . little backward, the mild. ness of the season accounting in measure for the lateness of this trade. The low prlces which ruled at the south and west during the two months of the panic on cot ton. wool and provisions, have also much to do with 1t, the producers were thereby impoverished to certain extent.
 It is we'll to take into account, in esti- mating the probable consumptive demand for goods, the fact that the purchasing power of the country was reduced mil lions of dollars by the panic. In the south and west producers were compelled to sac rihce very heavily on their products in or der to turn them into cash at time when money was scarce. The enforced idl,ness of thousands of mechanics for two months placed them also in position from which they cannot recover at once. Many of them will feel It to be their first duty to re- place as soon as possible their deposits in the savings banks, which they were com peiled to draw upon, while others, less fo, . tunats, will be obliged to devote several weeks to the payment of debts contracted during the time when they had no work. This Wlll' to certain extent, dimlnlsh the volume Of tue trade during the early part of the year. On the other hand, it is well known that stocks of manufactured pooda of almost all kinds gre light. necessltating the immediate production of considerable quantities to supply the demands of dis tributors.- = Boston Comm sreial Bulletin.

The Belmont Courier is not over.
stocked with with faith a. regards tho
construction of the Eureka and PAIL
SADIE Narrow-Gauge Railroad. Wecan
assure the CoNrier that it need have M
fear about the ultimate success Of the
enterprise. The road p,U be built and
that, too, as early as possible. The
growing Importance Of Eureka de.
Inands 1t; and its completion, sooner or
later, Is . certainty. Belmont will not
be disappointed; her shipping point
will be Eureka, instead Of Battle
Mountain or WadswOrth, within the
next fifteen months. But here Is what
he C0uT7cr has to say on the subject !:
The people Of Eureka are beginning
to seriously question the probability Of
the contemplated railroad being COM
pieted, since the transfer of the stage
and railroad interests from Woodruff
Il EnnOr to Pritchard, which includes
One-half OF the narrOw-gauge railroad
between Eureka and Palisade. The
problem remains the same as it has
from the beginning of the enterprise.
and may be stated in a very few words:
Ii it is to the interest of these stage
railroad builders to complete the road,
it will be put through; but if not to
their interest, plausible excuses will
he made for not extending it over 30
mics. 1t is now very apparent to- us
that the bottom is knocked out of Bel
mOnt's expectations of being benefited
by the Eureka railroad. We hope the
work will go on, but from the begin
ming our faith has been very weak.
