MT. George Washington Ameri- GUS Snodgrass writes to us from Ripon, Wis. ,sthat he is about to set out for the Centennial with his patriotic contribution to the honors of that Exhibition. He will, he says, be attired in COnti- mental suit of clothes, made on the stars and stripes pattern; his wheelbarrow is similarly painted and decorated with the star. span gled banner, and its contents are thirty, seven enamelled bricks, each bearing the name and coat Of-arms of one of the States. Mir. Snodgrass will carry the thirty eighth brick in his hat till he hears that Colorado has been ad- mitted to the Union, when it will be added to his load. A hand organ, attached by a crank to the wheel of his barrow, will grind out patriotic airs as he progresses on his wheeling way. MT. Snod. grass sends an elaborate time- table, giving the day and hour at which he will be due at a variety of given points. This time table will be of great convenience to the Vigilantes, who will thus be en- abled to make their arrangements for lynching or tarring and feath- ering him as humanity may die tate, with the smallest possible waste of time.

Al the word, the young patroit rush. ed out, and. clapped his hands, shouted :-"Ring! RING! RINGw There was tumult in the city,.

BURLINGTON AND LAMOILLE RAILROAD.
The iron for the Burlington and La
noble Railroad, some $500 tons, has
been purchased at Rome, \. Y, and is
only awaiting an opportunity for ship
ment; over thirty Thousand ties are
now scattered along the road bed and
fifteen thousand more will arrive In
Burlington as soon us the lake opens !;
three new locomotives two for pasSen-
ger and one for freight traffic are be
ing built at the Taunton Iron Works,
several passenger ears are already con-
tracted for and work is now beng
pushed forward on Il construction train
in this city. The road bed is nearly
completed, all the sections, save two,
being nearly ready for the iron. The
prospect is, altogether, very favorable
for the early completion of the road.
THE LAMOILLE VALLEY RAILROAD.
X. :. Reed, of East Fairfield, one of
the directors of the Lamoille Valley
railroad, emphatically denies the rnmol
that G.. L. Hogan y CO., the contractors
for the road have failed. The only bal
sis of the iumor j. the fact that the
Hyde Park bank has sued {. l.. Hogan
y Co., and attached their stores along
the line of the railroad. But the entire
Indebtedness of the lloganS to that III
Stitutiou does not exceed two thousand
dollars 1t is said that their inability
to pay this was ocraSioned by the rail
road managers not meeting their agree
mcnts. The road bed is nearly all com
pletcd from johnson to Lake Cham
plain, Il distance OF forty miles, and II
thc funds were at hand. it could he
easily finished in one month of labor.
Negotiations for the disposal of the
bonds aIe now being made. but it Is
not likely that the road will he in opcr-
alton before fall. The lingams have
also taken the contract for laying the
rails and halla>ting the road. They
say they can lay halt IL mile of rails Il
day on each end. ut which rate it will
lcquirc forty days t" complete this

Centennial Snags.

1t is but natural that the great ex-
position should meet with some friction
in getting started. There are continu-
ally coming up questions to he decided
which will affect the show to greater
or less degree. Some of these questions
are such us ordinary mortals would
decide very quickly.
For instance, the managers are de
batting the subject of dead-heads. They
ascertain that If they only pass free
members of the press, members of con
gresS, and other officials, national anG
local, the list reaches astounding fig
ures, and they can as well afford to put
the price of tickets at twenty-five cents
and have all pay, as to make the price
fifty cents with all these dead-heads.
This is Il question about which II
seems to lis there should be no debate
Put the price at the lowest figure, and
let every one pay" is what the better
portion of the press would say, if the
question were left to them. Besides
what justice is there in allowing mem
bers of Congress, and other officials who
are able to pay their own bills, to b,
dead headed through anything at the
expense of the poorer people ! BY the
managers own estimate it is Il question
whether to make the poor man pay fol
himself and his wealthy neighbor, OF t.
make both pay alike, This is what il
amounts to; for whoever hcal d of dead
heading il poor man. unless we except
il few members of the press
Another thing which diSturh> tn,
centennial equanimity. is the fact that
the railroads do not come down NOR,
on their fares. They have settled upon
reducing them only twenty five pei
cent. when it is claimed and Justly
too, we think that they can better
afford to carry at half fare to this cN-
position, which is To last five or sly
months, than to Il cattle fair or camp
meeting, which continues but Il few
days.
Another point raised 10y the managers
is whether to have the exhibition opoI
on the Lords day. 1t is humiliatin4
that the question should have been con
sideIed at all but some claim that ",
invite the people from all countries t,
our show, and that MANY who will
come. are accustomed To look upon til,
sabbath as IL holiday. and We should
coucede something to our guests and
have the exposition open on the Lold'
