THECAuGnSAwAGA CASAL-The estimated cost
OF the Caughnawaga Canal is three million five
hundred thousand dollars, and 1t ia evident that
that amount would be saved every year in the re-
duction Of the cost Of transporting lumber and
grain from the lake region to New England
Another consideration urged in il favor is, that
without 1t traffic is likely to be diverted down
the st, Lawrence, which might be brought
through New England. The proposed canal would
complete the water connection from the Western
lakes to the foot Of Lake Champlain. necessary
part of the project is the mutual free use OF the
waters OF Canada and the United States by the
people OF both countries, and a memorial is to be
sent to Congress in favor OF an arrangement for
this purpose.

NEwnuRY.-Mr. II. Porter Smith, of Boston,
gave most delightful reading entertainment to the
people Of this place, on the evening Of March 29th
The yestry OF the Congregational church, in which
it was held, was filed with an appreciatiye audi
ence, and all agreed in pronouncingita rare treat
Mr. Smith is not professional reader and lays no
claim to a knowledge of elocution, yet he has a
large soul and an exquisite taste, which fit him
for success in all his efforts. Everything he takes
up, from the sublime and the pathetic to the
purely comic, he renders in admirable style. Many
who heard him at this time pronounced his read
ing equal, if not superior, to our leading elocu-
tionsts The Monticello ladies Institute be-
gins It's summer term with fifty pupils. Let it be
remembered that no other school in the state
affords better facilities for complete education
than this, and none gives more in return for the
same amount Of money. Many things not taught
at all in other schools, or taught only as extras,
receive full attention here, with no additional
expense.

RioTovs PROCEEDINGS IN FAYsToN -fays ton
Is back town, noted for its extensive forests and
rugged hillsides, rural population, quiet town
But notwithstanding all these good qualities the
people Of Fayston are sometimes disturbed by in
yasion, as was the case on the evening of April
9th, when about twenty reckless and turbulent
spirits, of both sexes from the adjoining town Of
.Waitsiied made a raid upon the quiet domcil Of
one d $ Stodaard, taking him and his better
half entirely by surprise They began immedi-
ately TO appropriate to their own use and behoof
the goods and chattels Of their victims The raid
ers were all armed with "shels Of every con-
ceiyabe pattern, the contents of which were
showered, without mercy, into sheet-iron pan
which they provided themselves with, and, with
out invitation, placed upon the kitchen stove.
The wood pile was the next object of attack, and
the stove compelled to take in" A half hour 5
evaporation, and the conglomerate mass was in
proper condition to renew the attack. This time
the assault became general upon the mouths aud
stomachs Of the entire party No quarter was
asked or granted and hostilities ceased only when
the whole company had become as well "waxed -
as their victims had been surprised. The raiders
then made good their retreat across the line,
without single casualty, leaving their unspent
ammunition, in the shape Of dozen pounds OF
nice sugar cakes, in the hands Of their thoroughly
astonished hostess, who wishes that II such things
happen only once in hundred years, she may
live to see the next one.
