AGAINST THE LAW. Judge NJ, w. Bailey
OF st. Adams, the railroad commissioner
of the state, has lately been called on by
compliments at st. Johnsbury, to proceed
against the Passumpsic railroad for run
ming freight cars with doors at the end,
contrary to the statute made at the last
session of legislature. This style of car
was formerly used on different railroads in
this section previous to the enactment of
the law prohibiting the same, and all rail-
road companies have abandoned the prac-
tice except the Passumpsic. The penalty,
we understand, is $50 per day per car. The
railroad commissioner, We are informed,
has taken measures to stop the running of
said cars on that road, without resorting TO
the law.

nine, its resources seem to be as great as
ever.
The ore from all the mines is very SINH
lar in character and between 10000 and
10000 tons are awaiting transportation to
the new furnaces of the company and as
we passed it, lying glistening and spark
ing, we could not help but wish that We
were the possessor of an iron mine.
The great peculiarly of these mines is
the purity and richness of the ores, and the
entire absence of phosphorus and sulphur
from the ores in all the beds, which allows
the iron to be extensively used in the man.
ulacture OF Bessemer steel!
The demand tor this kind OF iron, for
many years has largely exceeded the sup
ply, and the demand for steel has vastly in
creased of late, one of the most powerful
ones being the increased facility for maxi
ing 1t by the Bessemer process Among
many other reasons for the use of steel il
its vastly greater durability and ls SUPERB
or tensile strength. There is too in using
steel saving of at least twenty per cent. Of
the metal used to answer the same purpose.
Here is a whole district the iron from
which is especially adapted for the
making of Bessemer steel, and il is this
very ore that has been so scarce. This en-
tire district belongs to the Crown Point,
Iron Company and when we consider the
lavish riches of the ores which lay hidden
all through these hills and surrounding re-
gions, we may well think that the time is
near at hand when this country will he en-.
trcly Independent in itself, and will not
depend upon Great Britain or any nation
for iron, from which 10 manufacture steel
and the vast sums heretofore paid out for
duties on that kind of iron can be kept at
home.

reached aftera careful analysis of the No

wishes? The reason Is obvious. They
were actuated by the vain hope of break
ing up the republican party. AS "the boys
say ''that little thing can't be did We
are aware that desperate fight is before
us. A fight within the party, fight for
the ascendency of the republicansm of
John A. Andrew, Abraham Lincoln and
mun of that stamp on the one side, and of
"Butlerism' on the other. We have no
fear of the result. While. as we have said,
we regret this Simmons appointment on
account of its probable immediate effect
upon the fortunes of the party, perhaps,
after all, the conflict better be precipiti.
tated now than two years hence. What
ever may bc its first effect. the right will
ultimately triumph, the republican party
the party of principle, of progress, of re-

CAUCUS TIHEs EVENING":

AS will be seen elsewhere, a caucus has
neeh called to meet, this evening, for the
purpose of nominating suitable persons as
candidates for the several town officers to
be chosen tomorrow. 1t Is an old saving
that we cannot tell who will be governor
until after election, and it has often proved,
in this town, that where there has been but
one nomination made, and apparently, but
one ticket in the field, the candidates there
on are, by no means, sure of AN election.
There is reason for this. The people are
intelligent and, if unfit persons are nomi-
mated for particular officers, they can and
will easily, without the aid of caucuses or
other machinery, agree upon proper per-
sons to be supported and voted for. and
elect them to such offices. We naturally
take more interest in the management of
our town, village and school district bust
ness than we do that which is more closely
connected with national or state affairs So
far rs the general government Is concerned.
their actions have only very trifling direct
effect upon us. Situated Us we are, there

But there is something remote from us.

son, steam apparatus for drawing up the
ore has been put in, and soon, four differ
cnt tracks will lead into the mine, and cars
will be continually running back and forth,
and the end of the track is built on tres
tie, so that the ore can be dumped into the
cars which will stand directly under it,
This machinery is one of the most com
ploie apparatus or the kind, and is well
worth visiting TO see il work. Four large
iron drums are placed on revolving shaft,
and by simple tap of a bell, the time to
start with the ore is announced from the
bottom of the mine. The operator is sta
toned on an elevated platform so that he
can see when the car is al the spot from
which it will be dumped, where man is
stationed for that purpose, and by another
simple movement the car is again let down
to the mine. This machinery was CON
structed at the Delemater iron works. and
the power is furnished by an eighty horse
power steam engine.
The total number of men now at work
is about 400 but at the commence

any obstacle in their way no matter how
slight one it may be. 1t is to the Messrs.
Hammond. who were so long in the iron
business in this place, that the town owes
so much of its prosperity, and the present
company, with Mr.. John Hammond, at ITS
head, have not, and probably will not,
cease to do all that they can to improve
and enlarge their works here, by which
they will continue to increase the wealth
and add largely to the prosperity of the
town. b.

The Burlington CITY Election.

The city election at Burlington is to be
quite lively, judging from the tone of the
Free Press. 1t says:
"The canvass is lively, both In the city
at large and in the wards, and everything
looks cheering for the republicans All
agree that it will be q melancholy day for
the city when such men as Lawrence
Barnes, Torrey Il. Wales, Samuel Hunting
ton, $. NJ. Pope and their worthy associ-
ates on the ticket, after being nominated
and consenting to serve should fail of cleo
ton. The republican tickets can only fail
through remissness OF treachery. The first
of these causes the republicans evidently
do not intend TO have laid at their door.
They are working actively in every ward,
and with every cncouragement-and they
intend to know no such word us fail. We
believe that Mr. Barnes will be elected by
q majority that will surprise even the most
sangune. and that we shall carry most of
the aldermen, and thus secure one of the
most careful, honest, and efficient city gov
crnmcnis that our city has yet known"

The bees, Mr.. Darwin says,
have solved difficult problem.
They have made their cells of q
proper shape to hold the greatest
possible amount of honey, with the
least possible consumption fprec-
ious wax IN their construction.
No human workman is skillful
enough to do what a crowd of bees
can do-working in a dark hive
make cells. of wax of the true
form.
The number of humble bees in
the cou ntry will depend upon the
number of cats. How can that be?
Because the number of bees is de-
pendent upon the number OF field
mice, " hich eat the bees. Hence,
the mole cats the fewer mice, and
the fewer mice the more bees.
If the whole genus of humble
bees became extinct, or very rare,
the hearts ease and red clover
would become rare or wholly dis
appearc. How is that? Because
bees promote the growth of those
flowers. The visits of bees are
necessary to the fertilization of
some kinds of clover, and almost
indispensable to the hearts ease.
Bundle bees alone visit the red
clover, as other bees cannot reach
the nectar.
