RAILROAD JUBILEE. A dispatch
from the Fahyan House, White
Mountains, dated Saturday, says
that the Portland and Osdensburg
railroad was completed that day,
through the difficult Mountain
Notch. to it's connection with the
Boston, Concord and Montreal rail
road at Fabyan's, a distance of
ninety-one miles, by the driving of
the last spike at James cut, in the
gateway of the Notch. Commend
able thought caused the Directors
to toreg0 an expensive and formal
celebration. Therefore the Port
land City Government--the road
being largely constructed with city
funds, and owned by the city-with
reporters, took the regular train at
noon, reaching the gateway of the
Notch close by and above the spot
where the famous Wiley family
were killed by mountain slide, and
stopped while the wolkmen laid the
last rails. At 1924 p. NJ, General
Anderson, President of the road,
drove the last spike--a silver-p!ated
one brought for the purpose. Speak
er Thomas, of Maine, proposed three
cheers for General Anderson and
the last spike which completes the
railroads which pierces these ever.
lasting hills, which were enthusiasts
tically given by the group assem-
bled, by the workmen whose task
was ended, and re- .hoed by the
laborers and their families at their
little settlement on the opposite
cliff, across the SacO river. Gener-
al hurry had loaned a field piece
for the occasion, which followed on
a platform car, and reused all the
mountain re-echoes by repeated dis
charges, TIE band at the Craw-
ford House also welcomed the event
with "Hail Columbia and the "Star
Spanglcd Banner" The train went
on to the Fabyan House, where it
connects with the Concord and
Montreal road, where another sa-
lutte was fired. A dense fog prevail
ed all the morning, which cleared
off brightly at noon, and the cere.
mony was welcomed with bright
skies.

PRESIDENT BNCKHAM ON Boat.

PRESIDENT BNCKHAM ON BOAT
ING. The New York Independent
the week after the Saratoga Roget
ia, expressed some surprise that the
University Of Vermont did not send
q crew to that notable contest. The
last number Of the Independent con
tains the following note from Presi
dent Buckham on the subject, which
as the Independent remarks, "does
not lack clearness:
"To the Editor Of the Independent;
You ask why the University Of
Vermont WAS not represented at the
Saratoga regetta. 1t certainly was
not for lack of facilities for training
for we have, as you uggest, u beau
tiful lake on one side of us and q
beautiful river on another side
Neither was it for lack Of manlines>
in our men. The University was
'repres ,nted' il almost every great
battle of the Rebellion, from Bull
Run to Petersburg, having sent &c
the field a larger number in proper
ton to it's total roll than any other
New England college. But the fact
is that neither the character of Oul
community nor the traditions of the
college are such as to encourage
sporting habits n large proper
/ ton of our students-large enough
to determine the prevailing tone OF
the institutiOn-are sons OF farmers,
frugal. industrious fellows, who are
working their way through college,
and who, at the time of the regetta,
are swinging the scythe in the hay
field or handling the compass and
chain on the railroad. Besides,
though they ale poor, they are
proud, and would regard it as be-
meath the dignity of frec.borl
Vermonter to expose their muscle
in public, like gladiators in the am
plltheatre, for Mrs. Morrissey and
other high-bred DANES to bet on.
If you will get up contest in some
honest and useful work, and will in.
sure us against the intrusion of
gamblers and b'acklegs, we will ell
gage to be represented Mean
while, we must answer your qucs.
ton why we were not at Saratoga
by pleading that we are too busy,
too poor and too proud.
Very respectfully,
Ii. NJ. BUEKHAM.
Burlington. VT, July rs, 1875"
The Independent adds, editorially {:
awe can't get up the contest that
President Buckham wants. AS st.
Paul said in reply to similar sug.
gcstion to keep out Of the company
OF blacklegs Of his day, then ye
must needs go out of the world
The gamblers will continue to infest
all athletic games: but that is no
good reason for not practicing them.
Col. Higginson. however, will give
the Burlington students informa-
ton about literary contest that
will be 'honest and useful and the
points of which will be quite be-
yond the betting men. But Presl-
dent Buckham has hit just the dis
of Saratoga, of which We
have already spoken, and which
made us oppose it's selection as the
place for the College Regetta."

,THETFORD. The barn and sheds
of John II. Huntington of Thetford,
were burned Saturday, August 18th.
The buildings were new and con-
tanned about 40 tons of hay. Much
praise is due those persons who ex-
posed themselves to the fire and
saved the dwelling house, as most
of the village must have been burn
ed if the house had burnt. The
buildings were insured, hut the loss
must he heavy on the owner.

SARATOGA. This is how GEL
Perkins" tells the N. Y. Sun abou,
the fashions, sly les, &C., at Sarato
ga:
"The mode in Saratoga this sum
mer is not to dress. l do not think
ten full-dress party dresses have ap.
peared in Saratoga this season, and
these have been worn by brides OF
dashing young ladies from Calitor-
MIA or the West. People come to
Saratoga nowadays more for social
intercourse and rest. They do not
come to stun each other with expen
sive toilets and nobby tandem
teams. Managing mothers come to
make acquainlances, young ladies'
come to flIrt and catch rich husbands,
and old bachelors come to win for
tunes with rich widows. Now and
then they will take charge of an old
maid, if her parents are wealthy
and they can have the assurance
that their future wives will support
them as a gentleman should be sup
ported.
The newest styles in Saratoga
were introduced by the Countess IL

from Paris, and is affected by MIR.

sador. She appears on the States

ping behind the head in an old fash
Toned waterfall, secured by silk
net. In fact, fashionable young la
dies now wear their hair in the style
of the dairymaids up in St. Law
renee county or like the waiter girls
on Cherry street.
The skirt of the Countess is worn
exceedingly short in front-say six
inches from the floor. The skirt
sticks out and shows striped stock
ings. Behind is demi train. The
striped stocking fever has attacked
all the young ladies in Saratoga bad.
Even many married ladies have got
it. They say it makes their calves
look large. | know it makes many
calves look long and attentively-

were idle to deny that they result
ed disastrOusly to the Republican
party, but it wonld be fully as ride
ulOus to attribute the defeat to the
Democratic party. That effete or
ganization could not have effected
the overthrow of the Republican
party, and did not effect it. There
were several causes which produc'
ed dissensiOns in the Republican
camp, and while some, aye many
joined the opposition to rebukt
their own party, they did not con
slider their action as total and final
lesertion, nor as attaching them
selves to the Democratic party

of GAINESVILLE, tamely looked on AT
the contending forces, declining TIC

The causes which produced dis
sension within the Republican ranks
have been removed. One cause was
hostility to certain representative
Republicans, whose persons 10 not
now repose in official chairs. An
other reason was the "hard tines
then prevailing which produced dis
content and Indifference. Times are
improving, the outlook is encourag-
ing and the breaking away of the
forbidding clouds has revealed the
disassOciation Of the Republican
party with the dispensation OF
Providence and the periodical clog
ging of business wheels. Still an
other cause was opposition to Presi-
dent Grant, some of his opponents

and many from unworthy and Who'll.
