Sent. %, 1874, (

Mr.. Editor: Last Wednesday
night some parties broke into the
post Office, forced the safe with pow
der and carried off about $500 worth
of postage stamps and several reg.
lstered letters containing money,
how much is not yet known. There
was a steel vault in the safe con
tanning $4,000, which they failed tn
open for lack Of time, as there was
only from II to / o'clock in which
to work. 1t is supposed they were
the same persons who tried the
Wells River bank.
The Grand Trunk Railway com.
pleted their change of gauge last
Friday and Saturday from Mouteal
to Quebec and Portland, commenc-
ing to shove the rails on Friday eve
ming when the train carrying signals
to indicate to the workman that it
would be the last train which would
pass, and at ten o'clock Saturday
morning the main line. about 400
miles, was reported ready for trains.
In the afternoon a train from Island
Pond passed through to Montreal.
The whole cost of change of guagc
of the entire line, about 400 miles,
will be S5O0,OOO in gold.
An English Company. with cash
capital of 100000 is about locat-
ing here. Their object is to export
fresh meat, vegetables, &c, to the
English market. They propose to
employ 200 hands to start with and
will require 100 head of cattle per
week, great many of which will
only be slaughtered and entrails re-
moved here, then packed in ice and
shipped to market, when the hide
will be removed and the beef pre-
pared for sale in as excellent condi-
ton as though killed on the spot
Their main business, however, will
be canning meat. Sherbrooke and
adjoining municipalities will prob
ably give the company about $780,

The Vermont Farmer seems de-
termincd to keep up the division in
the Republican ranks in this dis
trict by continual abuse of the men
who voted for aud the papers which
supported Judge Poland in the re-
cent Congressional contest. The
OPINION comes in for its share OF
this abuse and misrepresentation.
Not finding any Republican paper
but the Farmer charging us with
belonging to the "ring," the editor
of that sheet quotes from that high
toned Republican authority, the
Argus. to show that we speak from
"belind the (Poland) throne those
things that are deemed not best to
utter through my home paper
In reply to which charge we have
only to say, that we have had no
communication, either verbal OF
written, with Judge Poland or any
one representing him, politically,
since the election.
In reference to the opinion cX'
pressed by us two weeks ago that
many Poland Republicans would
vote for Judge Wheeler, it was
formed from conversation with Re.
publicans in this vicinity who as
serted that they could not consis'
tently vote for Mr.. Denison after
the course he had taken in this mat
ter. We see no occasion now to
change the opinion we then advanc-
ed.
In the same article we stated that
Mr.. DcniSOn's vote was much aug
mented by the help of the Demo
Gratis. The week following the edi-
tor of the Farmer endeavored, with
poor success, to show our assertion
untrue. We let the matter drop
without replying, by advice of sew
eral leading men of the party, who
desired to see harmony restored.
But the editor of the Farmer, boy
like, could not even be satisfied
with the last word, but mist come
at the Poland men and papers again
in his last weeks issue, and with
his usual lack of judgement and
discretion, styles them "sOre heads"
''ring organs,' &c. If he expects to
induce Poland men to support Den
ison by this continual abuse of
the Judge and them, he knows but
little of human nature or is lacking
in common sense.
The Farmer is the only paper in
the district which refers to the mat
ter of the congressional election
each week, in such a manner as to
keep aroused unpleasant feelings in
The party. If it continues in it's
present course till the day of cleo
ion it will reduce the plurality of
Mr.. Denison hundreds of votes.-
Well may Mr.. d. pray to be saved
rom such friends.

has always been said that phySi.

been disproved by their liberal
course toward DIR. j. G. AYERS pre-

into general use in their practice,
which shows willingness to coun-
tenance articles that have intrinsic
merits which deserve their attention.
This does the learned profe ssion

Damages for Charges in Excess OF Law
full Rates.

CHICAGO, H., May %, 1874
special to the tribune from Springfield, H.,
says that the case Of the people vs. the Chicago
and Alton Railroad Company was called to-day in
Sangamon county Circuit Court, and counsel for
the people announced their readiness TO proceed
with the trial. Defendants counsel proposed an
arrangement to plaintiffs counsel to allow the
people to take Judgment by default, provided
the defendants were allowed to have O
record in the case upon which to appeal to the
Supreme Court. This proposition was declined
and the case went to trial. DEFENDANTS counsel
then filed their objections to further proceedings
In the case and to the admission in evidence OF
the schedules OF rates prepared by the Railroad
Commissioners OF Illinois and to all other evidence
and TO the several Instructions or the Court, not
waving thereby any right TO claim that the case
has been removed from the jurisdiction oil TINS
court.
PIaintifYs' counsel produced witnesses to prove
the allegations IN their declara lions. and offered
the Railroai Commissioners schedule to show that
the rates charged by the Railroad Company were
excess OF the rates piinla Jdcie allowed by law
and thus established charges OF eXtorllon.
The jury returned a verdict Tor the plaintiffs for
$1,000. IL Is not known what the next step Of the
oetence Will be, Plaintiffs counsel will, at Tie
proper time, move iOr execution against the
property OF the company.
