Fire at Hampton, N. Y.

About II o'clock Thursday evening the
unusual cry of fire resounied through oui
Village, says the Poultney Journal, and
upon investigation we discovered flames
and smoke ascending heavenward, in the
direction of Hampton. Upon repairing
thither we found the store of w. S. Wood
& Son enveloped in flames, and a few Of
the inhabitants of that place endeavoring
to save the contents, only a part of which
could be gotten out. The flames soon
spread themselves to the dwelling house OF
Thomas Sullivan, which was quickly
cleared of its contents, but with the store,
the building was entirely consumed. 1t
was only by the untlring efforts Of few
determined men, armed with buckets, that
the next building, a stone one, could be
saved This building was owned by Mr..
Daniel Sullivan. Mr.. Wood was partly in
sured, and Mr.. Sullivan had an insurance
of about $400 on house and furniture. II
is supposed the fire took from a stove in
the store.

The Action of the Cabinet in the
Belknap Matter.
WASHINGTON. Marc

WASHINGTON, March 8.
The cabinet met at moor to-day with all
the members present, and remained in SEES
sion until after o'clock in the afternoon
The subjects that received consideration
were the institution of criminal proceed
ings against ex-Secretary Belknap and
those who were associated with him in the
practices of bribery and corruption that
have just been officially discovered and the
selection of new secretary of war. The
president stated to the cabinet that while
he could take no steps which might look
like persecution of any one he had deter
that rested upon him, and he therefore
asked the attorney general to take iumedl-
ate steps to proceed with criminal charges
against Gen. Belknap and Messrs. Marsh
and Tomlnson, and all others shown by
any evidence that shall be adduced to have
had part in The fearful transaction that
were the subject of attention. Upon this
determination of the president there were
full and thorough expression of opiaon
favoring such action as the president had
determined upon without delay.
The peculiar character of the case OF
Gen. Belknap's offense, differing in many
respects as 1t does from an ordinary case Of
bribery, was subject of comment and dis
cussion, the result of which was the refer
cnce of the entire matter to the attorney.
general who will take the necessary steps
to enter criminal proceedings just as soon
as the facts can be put in shape TO be
sworn to. AS part of the discussion il is
mentioned that there should be no delay in
the proceedings, because of the progress of
an impeachment trial. The two trials will
be entirely independent of each other
Judge Pierrepont remained at the execu
tive mansion for short time after the
other cabinet officers had gone to their re-
spective departments, for the purpose o.
getting what facts the president might be
possessed OF, in accordance with the deter
mination to commence Immediately the
proceedings under his charge.
A discussion relative to the appointment
of successor to Secretary Beknap was
of considerable length but no decision was
reached and there will probably be another
cabinet session about it. The assurance is
given that the person who will be appoint
ed to the office, will be man of high
character and knnwn posjtion

Green Mountain Narrow Gauge Rail.
road.

The proposed Green mountain narrow
gauge railroad is TO run from Sheburn
| Falls, Mass, through Coleraine TO South
| Halifax, thence up the west side of North
river TO Jacksonville, in Nottingham,
across the country to the Deerfield river
| near Wilmington from Wilmington to
Jamaica. There have been several differ
ent surveys one up the Dee field river
through Searsburg, Somerset, Stratton. and
a corner of Winhall to Jamaica, and an
other route through Dover and Wardsboro.
| From Jamaica the road will pass up West
river through the towns of Londonderry
and Weston TO Healdville in Mt. Holly.
where it will connect with the Rutland
road, through Plymouth, corner of
Bridgewater to Sherburne, where it will
connect with the proposed Rutland and
Woodstock road. through Pttsfield, Stock
bridge, Rochester Hancock, Granville,
Warren, Waitslield, Moretown to
| Middlesex, where it connects with
the Vermont Central railroad. The
route from that point to Newport
has not been decided upon. There are
two routes that are very practicable, either
through Stowe and Morristown, where it
will connect with the Portland and Ogdens
burgh road, and by either of several prac-
ticabe routes to Newport; or up Onion
river to Montpelier, and by either of the
routes which have already been partially
surveyed to Newport.
Every town upon the line of the proposed
road south of the Rutland road, except
Nottingham and Halifax, has voted to
bond eight times their grand list, and a
large sum of money has been subscribed
| towards the road by the inhabitants of the
towns. The road will undoubtedly be
built from Shelburn Falls to the Rutland
road, as every town but two upon the route
| has bonded in its favor and also several OF
the adjacent towns. The remainder of the
route is still in doubt. Plymouth, Han
cock and Wailsfleld have refused to
bond, but the friends of the road expect
that the voters when they take second
sober thought will change their decision
and favor the road. The road. if
built, will connect with contemplated
narrow gauge road extending to Boston. A
competing line of railroads will be formed
to Boston, New York and other sea board
cities, and freights will be carried much
cheaper from Central Vermont to the sea
board than at present. The cost Of the
road will be inconsiderable, compared with
the cost of building and equipping broad
gauge road. The best engineers have esti-
mated the cost of the road not TO exceed
$13 900 to the mile when built and thor
oughly equipped, and the depots built A
company have made proposals to the Green
mountain narrow-gauge railroad company
to furnish the remainder of the capital il
they will raise $4,000 per mila, which can
easily be done if the towns along the route
will bond eight times their grand list. With
proper exertion on the part of the friends
of the proposed road, it can be built with
in two or three years from this time.

Narrow Escape from Serious Cas-
ualty.

Another narrow escape from terrible
railway accident occurred at an early hour
Thursday morning to the Montreal express
train over the Northeastern railway. The
train left Boston Wednesday night at six
o'clock, reaching Newport, the point of
connection with the Southeastern railroad
about four o'clock in the morning. After
the train left Newport it ran at a high rate
of speed, and when between Brigham and
Farnham, running between forty and fifty
miles per hour, one of the driving wheels
of the engine broke at the axle, as well as
the connecting rod, and before the train
could be stopped the whole front part of
the engine was smashed and the water box
emptied The train fortunately kept to
the rails, and ran nearly a mile before it
was stopped. The track was considerably
injured, and quite lengthy detention en-
sued The engineer and fireman barely
escaped with their lives. IL was miracle
that the cars we're not smashed nor any
passengers injured.
