Jas. Gordon Bennett of the Herald,
has given thirty thousand dollars, to
feed the poor of New York. 1t is said
by some who are too mean TO "go and
do likewise" that he intended this as
AN advertisement. This may be so,
but Jesus used TO advertise 10y work
ing for the poor, aud we don't think he
will "be too hard" on Jim Bennett for
this advertisement.

BRISTOL IN 1874.

lnspitc OF disappointmcnts which,
as with other children cf destiny,
Bristol seems to have been doomed,
it still marches forward on the road
of positive and substantial develop
mcnt.
In 1878 there were not so many
new buildings as in 1872, but fhey
were far more valuable and the
business development of last season
was far in advance of any previous
year.
1874 promises us still more. In
May we will have two Wooden
Factories in active operation. Maj.
Reynolds will erect, probably,
much tue finest residence which
has yet been erected in the place.
Messrs. Blackley and Bailey will
seon have completed their two
story brick office. Mr.. S. r. Fer
guson will build large ironofront
Hardware Store. Mr.. james and
. Others Will erect a large three story
Town Hall,
The Border Fair is now an as
surred fact and will do much to
advertise and develope our town
and vicinity. There are many
moro improvements which are yet
in embryo, but which will be al
luded to hereafter,
On the whole, Bristol never
promised so much as in 1874 and
never were the popular demands
for a city here so great as to-day.

The Cumberland Gap Railroad.

RICHMOND, W.
Feb. 1874
The House Committee on Roads and
Internal Navigation met last night to
consider Mr.. Richmond's resolution
proposing to require the Atlantic, Mis-
sissipLi and Ohio Railroad Company
to commence the construction of the
Cumberland Gap Railroad by the 10th
of May. A large crowd of Delegates,
Senators and citizens were present aud
the committee extended an invitation
to all who had aught to say, to speak.
MIR. Richmond explained the purpose
of the resolution and complain ed that
the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
Company had not complied with the
spirit of the contract with the State
when the latter parted with her inter
est i'll the roads afterwards consolidat-
ed and that three of the six years al
lowed for the completion of the extern
ton had elapsed and nothing been
done. General Malone replied. He
spoke from to IL o'clock and had the
floor, when he yielded to molten to
adjourn. He held that there was no
obligation or provision in the contract
requiring his Company to build this
"shall be completed within six years"
were en- parenthesis just as if it had
been remarked, ''by-the-by it shall be
completed within six years ~ that the
States interest ia the four roads. worth
according to the report of a Senate
committee, 81 I4O, 47S 05 had been sold
to the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio,
for: LIST, A discharge from all claim
fo har nncatirH fol SttlN.ori1fHnt1 IN tho
Virginia and Kentucky Railroad
End, the bond of the Atlantic, Missis-
sippi and Ohio Company for Sc, 900, 600.
The completion of the Cumberland
Gap Railroad, he said, was no consid-
Grafton of the contract. But pursuing
| the long ago declared policy of the
State of connecting by rail the waters
of the Ohio and the waters of the At
lantic his company earnestly desired to
| build this branch. They Lad been al
ways ready and willing TO do so with
reasonable prospect of being met at the
| Gap by the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad Company, the only
company in Kentucky looking
this way and with sufficient means to
undertake the enterprise. That COM
any had never been willing to say
| NOuiN
building their line towards the gap
He, to test their intentions, had pro-
posed, in conjunction with them, at
once to let the tunnel at the Gap TO
contract and they had declined to act
at present. The enormous magnitude
of the work had never been fully COM
pretended or understood until the
surveyes had been made by the At
lantic, Mississippi and Ohio Company.
He could say that a more difficult job
had been seldom seen by the shortest
and cheapest route 100 miles, it would
cost more that S6,0O0,0 900. 1t would lie
preposterOus to think of building a
road Ito connect with Cumberland
Mountain" For these and other rea-
sons. his company had not deemed it
wise or just to their stockholders TO
waste their resources in the construc-
ton of a road that would be almost en-
tirely without western connections.
| The committee, OF which Judge Ould
| is chairman, will meet again Friday
evening TO further consider the resoiu-
lion.

statements" is which leads children " 10 suppose
that the condition Of those baptized In infancy is
necessarily OF spiritual life" In the commands Of
the churches the of their respective
PrayerBooks, there is much difference. The Reformed
Episcopal. it is claimed, gives reasonable liberty
and the Protestant Episcopal " no option whatever TO
those who desire to have hexbility in the service At
other times than Sunday morning the minister OF the
former church can use 1t not he chooses In the
Eighth Article Of the Constitution OF the Reformed
Church there Is also this declaraOn "No canon shall

Of extempore other prayer suitable times"
