EXTENSION OF THE PORTLAND AND OGDENs
nrIRc RAILRoAp.-A letter dated at st. Johns
bury. Dec. IA, from w. Fl. Bryant, General
AGENT of the Portland and Ogdensburg rail
road written to one CT our citizens, says that
dnring this month they have been quite busy in
Iaving iron, and Notwithstanding some pretty
cold days Dec. the thermometer indicating
d DEGREES below zero) the rails are now laid
five miles beyond Hydepark to johnson, and
the trains, in charge of Conductors s. w. Park
hurst and Geo. T. Knight will commence run
ming regularly to and from that place for the
transportation of passengers and freight, on
and after the 18th inst.
THE citizens of johnson seem much pleased
with the prospect of having direct rail commu-
nication with the outside world, and tomorrow
evening, upon the arrival of our mail train Will
Give Complimentary supper, in the new depot,
which. by the way, is one of the most spacious
and best arranged on the road, and was built
under the supervision of Mr.. o. Buck, of the
firm of o. 81 A. III. Buck, lumber dealers. Last
Friday we took, for these gentlemen. our first
freight into Johnson-a car OF wheat; they
loading the car back with lumber, dressed at
their mill on the river Gihon.
From time-card accompanying this letter,
we find that there are two trains daily running
between st. Johnsbury and Johnson-mail

The Pacific Mail investigation thus far
discloses two facts; first, that the agent OF
the Company expended S750,000 to carry
their bill through the last Congress, and, Sec
ond, that Mr.. King, then postmaster of the
House, had $115,000 of that amount, which
was paid directlyto him. How much more
of this fund was expended by him, has not
yet been definitely ascertained. This is a
very unpleasant affair for Mr.. King, since he
has sworn that he never had dollar of the
Company's money, and has just been elected
to represent Minnesota district in the next
Congress. The Pacific Mail scheme was one
of the most plausible of the many asking the
aid of the government, ever presented to
Congress. Any member who believes in the
principle Of government subsidies could most
readily give it his support. The enterprise
appealed to national pride. We were being
robbed of the carrying trade of the world.
Our "star spangled" was becoming a stranger
on the ocean and in foreign ports. China
and Japan were opening for rich commerce
and this line would enable America to grasp
it. Why not, then, give it the national ben
diction and revenues? While patriotic men
were being moved by these considerations,
another crowd was reached by Postmaster
King. Saida disgusted Congressman the
other day, who voted for the Pacific subsidy
as patriotic measure: "Those harpies in
the lobby bny and sell us like cattle in the
shambles, and we know nothing of it. When
parties want anything like this they think it
necessary to go to the attorneys with money
which they divide among themselves and the
measure goes on its merits" This is, doubt
less, mostly true. The only way to escape
the stigma and shame following these ex-
posures is always to vote against every sub
sidy scheme.

THE New York temperance crusaders have
of late been devoting their attention to the
custom of furnishing wine to callers on New
Years. and endeavoring to induce ladies in
society to substitute coffee for wine. If
their plan gains as many supporters to-day as
they anticipate, New York will be the most
wakeful city on the continent. and should
the young men imbbe as many cups of coffee
as they have been accustomed to drink glass
es of wine they will not close their eye-lids
for four years.

He fails to show that there is any coed rea-
son for the continuance of the position he
holds, which is the whole point of the mat
ter. Mr.. Lynch protested against it because
there was no need of such an expenditure.
Mr.. Burleigh is simply doing the same thing
and no amount of respectable endorsement
can change the fact of the utter uselessness
of the position held by DR.. Wentworth. Now
that it has been abolished by Congress, the
action of the Secretary in yielding to "infu-
ences hard to resist and maintaining the Kit
tery and other sinecures in defiance of Con-
press. is simply outrageous.

SPEAKING of the Russian Prince who stole
his mothers diamonds to give them to a
frail American girl who had captivated his
fancy, New York paper remarks that the
Prince '.appears to have inherited the violent
passions of his grandfather, without inherit
ing that monarch's intense devotion to some
practical object" Really, if stealing dia-
monds isn't a practical object. what is? Peo-
pie are not apt to do it for fun, nor is it a
subject for sentiment. As regards "ntense
devotion,'' the Prince appears to have de-
voted his whole energy to the theft of the
baubles.

In his letter of reply to the charges of Mr..
Burleigh, DR.. Wentworth simply ignores the
whole point made. The allegation against
him is not that he neglects his duty, but that
there is no duty connected with his office in
the navy yard, that it isa sinecure abolished
by Congress but re-established by the De-
partment at the instigation Of Mr.. Hamlin,
in order to furnish place for DR.. Went
worth, his representative and agent for the
management of York county. The official
time table introduced in Mr.. Burleigh's
speech indicates that if DR.. Wentworth dis
charged the duties of his office, which we do
not question, these duties were not very
burdensome, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing time table, which is official:

COUNTY GRANGE.

IT -.
The County Grange was in session
at Lampson's Hall, nearly all day last
Monday, and was well attended by che
delegates from Subordinate Oranges.
From the interest taken in the meeting
Of the County Grange by those who
are eligible to membership, it would
seem that there is a tie of friendship,
increasing in attachment to the prin.
ciples Of the order. IS members Of the
order progress in the work and degrees
Of the order.
The next meeting will be held at the
same place on the second Monday in
September next at 10 o'clock A. NJ.
The present delegates will hold
over until the expiration Of the present
quarter ending September the 30th
by which time an entire new list O.

lar meeting on the second Monday il

Trapping an Audience.

Some years ago, an eccentric genious,
the Rer. Thomas p. Hunt, use TO give
temperance lectures. One night he an
nounced that he would lecture In Easton.
Now, temperance was not in favor among
the male portion of that burg. The wo-
men, however, were all in for the ''pledge'
and, consequently, on Hunts first night,
not q man showed himself in the hall.
The benches were pretty we'll filed with
women, though, and Hunt commenced |;
but instead, Of temperance, he put them
through on the yanities Of dress, etc.
They wore great stuffed feather sleeves
then. They-the sleeves-caught it,
then their tight lacipg, and soon through
the whole category of female %follies; not
a word about temperance. And the Ia
dies went home hopping mad, told their
husbands about it, and voted old Hunt

down to the lowest notch.
He had announced that he would lee
ture at the same place the next night.
Long before the time appointed they
commenced to come, and when Hunt
hobbled down the aisle. the building was
comfortably we'll filed with men. The
old fellow looked about, chuckied. and
muttered ''Hogs, I've got you now! i
The audience stared. "Ah, logs. Ptt

After the crowd had got quiet a little
the lecturer said:
Friends, you want to know what

"Last Monday the Premium List OF

beat every fair in East Tennessee, and
then 90 to the Eastern Division Fail
