 May Sth. 1876.

Editor DEMOCRAT: In suppos- ing you will publish letter from us, we do not think we are draw
 ing too heavily upon our imagi- nation, as you have ever evinced so much kindnes and courtesy in this respect toward occasional cor
 respondence. We desire to give expression to few thoughts and observations upon the present status of the moral, social, literary and religious institutions of Pope county, and modestly but sin cerely allude to few leading in dividuals, who have triumphantly passed through the soul corrupt ing ordeals of this country, and still think it not derogatory to the character and dignity of a gen tleman to push this great work of moral reform forward to a yet higher degree of perfection. A three years residence in Pope has wrought wonderful changes in my observations, and it cannot be any far-fetchcd freak of imagina- tions of mind or dream in me when l say in all these virtues we are gloriously progressing. Three years ago in some sections where suspicious ignorance per sonal strife political envying and prejudice, wickedness, vice and immortality, all asserted their SUI premacy and dominion, destroy ing all harmony of sentiment and concert of action. Now we see in the same sections families of every shade of political and, religious creeds wing with each other in this glorious work of reform. And Mir. Editor allow me to re- peat with enthusiasm, that this is no 'chimera" of the brain, but reality indeed, and in view of such material facts we are iusti- fled in saying that newer and bright "era" whose efi'ulgent rays of hope, unfading gems et glory are beginning to dawn upon the society of Pope. Where is the source of such happy re
 suits: l answer in co operation

of human effort. Recent displays of Sabbath school improvements which have been no small matters of attraction in Dover, Russell vile and this community show clearly the result of cooperative effort in the upbuilding of this pai ticular institution which in improvement is not different from other similar institutions, all by the same "modus operandi" CO., operative effort.
 In this connection Sabbath school ) permit me to say we have been benefited by your coopera tion through the press. We care fully studied your editorial of three weeks ago, and with such argument continually before the people your posterity will be hap pier that you have lived and bet ter that you have wrote and de- fined the duties of parents and leading men in the. county, and not over fortnight ago we listen ed with thrilling interest to Capt. J. l. Potts in an address to Gum Log Sabbath school, which has not nor cannot fail to fill the measure for which it was design ed, encouraging those all ready at work and arousing others from state of lethargy and supine- ness into which they have fallen. His cheerful face and manner makes him a boon companion for the Sabbath school. Boy or girl, his name is still first in the minds of all the children. even little "Milev and Lorenia." We were next highly entertained by speech from Col. James Russell, which reflected much credit upon the sterling qualities, so charac- teristic of the man, and our com mittee who invited him to speak are proud of his effort both the former and latter, as did Prof. Wm. Spear in an address upon education, show plainly the ne- ccssity of cooperation.
 Iris our aim our hope and expectation
 To become great and bonored by co-op-
 eration.

BLOWING OFT HE'LL GATE
FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS OF NITRO GLYCE-
RINE AND REND ROCh TO BE FIRED.
". Y. Evening Mail |

Gen. Newton sage that the blasting ont of
the bottom at the He'll Gate excavations
Will probably take place abont the middle
of Septemo Der. 1t will take about so 600
pounds of explosives to do the work. The
materials used will be nitro glycerine, repd
rock, and dynamite, according to the ma
ture of the rock to be blasted. Instead of
placihg the explosives in several large
masses, 1t Is to be scattered over the rock
in small charges. Holes have been drilled
in the rock columns that support the roof,
the lumber varying according to the height
OF the column. The blowing up is to be done
IN three sections, and the effect will be to
crumble the pillars and allow the roof to
sink in.
The great opinion that the whole macs is
to be hurled into the air at one grand blast
is erroneous. Beyond few beautiful Jets
OF water shot into the air, and perhaps a
few pieces of rock hurled above the surface
OF the water, nothing will be seen. When
all is prepared the water is to be let in and
the chambers filed, thus forming what is
called in engineering parlance :" a wet
tamp."
The water will confne the force Of the
numerous blasts. After the explosions it
will be necessary to do considerable dredg-
ing in the way of hauling out pieces of
rock. This Will take several months, but
will probably be completed by next spring.
The persons operating the blast will oc-
cnpy position about 300 or 400 feet away.
The improvements will deepen the chan
mel about thirty feet, and allow of the pas
sage of the largest vessels, where before
only crafts of blSh draught could go. 1t is
expected that tie ocean steamers will take
this route to and from Europe, as it is
shorter than the Sandy Hook route by
about eighteen hours.

It was an hour later. Nathalie was CT
phering, but pair of sad eyes kept swim
ming between her own and the slate. She
| was just thinking how che would hug
| Alice, and kiss Ter and make it all up when
she went to bed, and let Alice " lie on her
| arm," as the dear little thing go loved to do.
For Nathalie was kind and affectionate
when Jess was out of the way.
Aunt Meg started, saying, What is
that noise Is anything wrong at the sta
bles ?"
Nathalie listened at the door. It's in the
house," she said, and ran up stairs An in
slant and she was down AGAIN showing a
white face OF terror at the hail door. 80
Aunt Meg. something aiis Alice she's
strangling."
Grandmother Warner came running in
with her camphor- bottle. She looked once
at Alice, reaching out her poor helpless
hands, and making that dreadful rafting in
her throat, and she said one word
Group ~
The sun came up over the hills next
morning and filled all the valley with
light. He shone on a hundred fields white
with snow, and he Hooked into the little
room where Nathalie and Alice had slept
80 many happy nights, looked in through
the sparkle of the frosty panes, and saw, on
the spotless bed, something as white and
cold as the snow itself. All that was left
of sweet little Alice lay there with folded
hands that winter morning.
Poor little Alice 7 No-po, Happy Alice
Poor, wretched Nstty SIZE couched a
shuddering form on the floor by the bed
side.
80 Ally, my darling, my own little
lamb" she moaned. Then, " o wicked
wlcked!' 1t was all she couid say, remem-
pering that last terrible night, when she
bad laughed at her little sister, and been so
unkind.
The very last words that Alice had ever
heard her speak had been words that cut
the loving heart to the quick. Nat, Nat
Inn brought white roee from his
mothers one bush, and laid it in the wexen
fingers, and he begged the kitten for Alice's
sake. Then they made grave for the lit
tie girl by her mothers side. And the
snow came and covered it. Ihere was no
longer any little Alice in time or on earth
