slope Of Cherry Mountain, and crossing
Carol stream develops new and long reach
of wood land and cultivated meadow in the
upper valley of the Johns river; then close
upon Hazen's mill; where it is within less
than five miles of the Waumbeck House and.
over good roads, within easy distance of the
many other attractive places of summer re-
sort in the town of Jefferson; then passes
close to Llbby's mill, also upon the Johns
river; then through the village of Whitefeld
and crossing the Johns river at SCOTS mills
terminates near the Sumner House in Dalton.
The Boston, Concord and Montreal Rail-
road Company having determined to extend
Its road from the present terminus, near the
Twin Mountain House, to the new Fabyan
House, under charter giving it rights in COM
mon with those of your company over this
portion of your route, that company caused
an examination to be made upon both sides of
the Ammonoosuc, and having ascertained
that the location established by Mr.. Stephen
son was the most favorable one to be had, pro-
posed the use of common road bed to be
constructed of sufficient width for track
upon either side of the centre line, established
for your road, for distance of a little less
than three miles.
Under instructions from your executive, /
have assented to swinging the centre line far
enough away from the Ammonoosuc to allow
of sufficient width for the track of that COM
pany, covering two points of close approach
to that wild mountain stream. And a de-
scription of the location thus amended is sub
mitted for your acceptance and approval.
In the month of August the distinguished
civil engineer, BENZ. H. Latrobe, of Baltimore,
while on tour through the White Noun
tains, again passed your road under inspec-
ton, and was pleased to commend the whole
of the mountain location, inclusive of and be-
yond that part which was laid in accordance
with his suggestion, to grade of 116 feet per
mile. Although Mr.. Latrobe's trip to the
north was strictly for the health and recrea-
ton of himself and family, he yielded to the
solicitation of your engineer, and spent sew
eral days reviewing the work. and in counsel
upon its proper conduct. He renewed the
expression of his approval of the general
course pursued, and of his confidence in the
important bearing your road when completed
must have upon the business interests of its
terminus, Portland.
All which is respectfully submitted

The boy made fierce resistance, and the

heavy chair which was near, she lifted it
high over her head, and with sweeping
''master stroke' brought it down upon the

Cremation or Burning OF the
Dead.

The question of burning the bodies
of dead people and preserving the ashes
sf the consumed bodies in urns is
beng earnestly discussed now in every
city of the land. Its advocates argue
that by such process the fedy Is
dissolved into Its original elem ents
more speedily than by the process cf
decomposition in the earth, aud that
the Injurious effects upon the living by
the decomposition of dead bodies, by
exhalauon aud impurity IN water would
thereby be removed and that it would
be pleasanter to have the ashes of the
bodies of dead dear ones in urns in cur
dwelling places than have them grad
ually decay and pass away in the cold
grave. Il sounds better to call it ere
nation.
Apropos. a meeting in the interest
Of cremation was held in New York on
.he 3rd. Letters were read in favor Of
and in opposition to heproposed scheme.
Resolutions were adopted advising the
formation of an association for the pro-
motion. of cremation and securing Its
practical application, aud that the So
ciety shall be founded on broad basis
without distinc:ieh sc 10 creed, profess
sion or rntiuna!:iy.

few minutes, six-weeks-old baby
being with her, and a seyen-year old
bo. in another room. During her sleep
the ceiling caught fire from the stove
pipe, and being awakened by the crack
ling of the flames, she left the children
and went TO the door to call her hus-
band, who was i'll the engine house.
Receiving DO answer, she went TO HIM
and told the matter. He ran to the
house, found the interior in flames, and
with difficulty saved the baby. He was
badly scorched on the face and hands
hlmself. He made several desperate
attempts to save the bog, without sue
cess, and was forced to stand and listen
to his death screams. The house and
contents were entirely destroyed. Med
ical aid was quickly furnished, and
everything possible vas done to relieve
the sufferers The boys body was
burned to crisp, the head and lower
limbs parted from the body.

LEwIsTowN has woman's move
ment against the liquor traffic. The
movement has no. been one that COM
pretended street singing and praying,
but it took form and organization in
petitioniug the Legislature not to repeal
the Local Option law. Nine hundred
and fifty women signed the petition.
The following is a copy of their petit
ton
To the Senate and House Of Repre-
senta.ives of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, in Geaeral Assembly
met.
The undersigned, women, residents
of Lewistown, MiffiIn county, and Vi
cinity, learning that active efforts ale
being made to obtain the repeal OF what
is known as the "Local Option" law,
earnestly and seriously demonstrate
against such action by your honorable
bodies. This couBty, by a majority ex-
ceeding 500, enacted and approved that
neasure. There is no authority of law,
and no legal licence for selling spirit
uous or malt liquors here, and although
they are sold, and the law openly and
wantonly violated, yet We see no argu
meat IN this sad state of affairs for set
ting aside the deliberate and solemn
verdict Of the people recently express
ed. The traffic in liquors is the curse
of the land, aud should not be shielded
or protected by statnte. Condemned
as it has been SO consplcuously by the
people of this county, do not yield 20
the appeals of those who ask its pro-
lection by law. 1t is outlawed now,
and so let it remain. Do Eot sanction
trade that is running soul. and bodies
by restoring it to responsibility through
the enaction of License Law. 1t is
under the ban Of public opinion, and SO
let it remain. Time will enforce the
authority of prohibition if the liquor
traffic is left without the protection of
legal authority. We entreat you to let
this law stand, and KEEP under ban a
nefaIious trade that sows Only tears and
sorrow, aud produces only crime and
misery. And We will ever pray, &c. ;
