everybody lerea50ut- He or She who fails |
to visit it MISE, one Of the most delightful 1
places in the cny.r5us of Burlington. Il j. F.

host" Cutting is always ready to serve 4 |
capital fish dinner, which he is sure to |
place before guest, win most relishable ac-
compartments A. the warm days increase,

We donot think the tellers, at the caucus
on saturday evening. represented the senti- |
ment, of the Republicans Of Burlington, in
adopting a test which excluded from the |
caucus Republicans who voted for Mr..
Greeley in -, but who have since acted |
with the Republican party, and desire to do
50 in future. The presence Of Greeley Re |
publieans in the Republican caucuses in /
many Of the other towns in the State, has |
been a noticeable feature of this years can
yass and - far a. We are aware they have |
everywhere received cordial welcome back !
to the councils Of the party. In a number
Of cases they were appointed delegates to
the State Convention. The Republican
party in Burlington IS surely not SO strong
that It can afford to adopt tests not else
where in force, nor Is it, as We believe, 50
foolish as to slam the door in the face Of any
man who claims that he has never abandon
cd Republican principles, or who now
honestly offers himself as a voter and worker
in the Republican ranks, though he may
not hayeyotcl for Grant at the last national
election

Sioner of New York, having charge Of the
eastern section OF the STATE, to supcrintend
a careful photographic survey Of the whole

and extensive measurements and calcula-
tions to what extent the vast amount of
water that flows from that region in the
spring can be reserved for commercial and
economical uses, by means Of dams at the
outlets Of the various lakes, instead Of
wasting itself in destructive floods. \
uniform supply of wafer is matter of
great Importance in the navigation Of the
Hudson and the canals, and also for the
numerous mills on the streams flowing from
the Adirondacks. Prot. Benedict long IN
innate acquaintance with the whole region
to be surveyed. a well as with the depart
ment of science to be applied, fits him for
the work entrusted to him. lie is to have
under him force of practical engineers.
