Railroad Dispute Settled.

SARATOGA, July 23.-Thos. A. Scott, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
to whom was left the arbitration of the dis
pute between the Canada Southern and Great
Western roadso Of Canada, as to the percentage
of freight and passenger dividends for the fll-
ture, has made his award. He decided that
on passenger business the Great Western
should receive 60 per cent and the Canada
Southern 40 per cent; on freight business the
Great Western is to receive 55 per cent and
the Canada Southern 45 per cent.
This award applies to all competitive
through business carried by both roads
through Canada that may pass through the
city Of Detroit or other points of connection
east and north of Toledo, but excluding the
business Of Toledo and southwestern points.
The award designates how settlements are to
be made, and recommends Albert Fink, of the
Trunk line, as commissioner the party to
keep accounts and direct settlements.
It is confidently believed by railroad men
that this arrangement, which Is binding upon
both roads for six months, with provisions for
continuance until notice Of three months shall
be given, will effectually put q stop to all cut
ting of rates by the roads under Vanderbilt's
control, and the Great Western direction is
said to have cut off commissioners free
passes and numerous agencies from July 81.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The report OF the
Department of Agriculture for July contains
the following:
Sugar Cane-The great mass Of this culture
is in Louisiana, yet it is extending in several
counties Of the Gulf States. The area shows
a considerable increase over last year, From
Georgia our reports show that this crop needs
rain, while from Louisiana we have the state
ment that it is quite thrifty.
Wool-The WOO. clip of 1873 is about per
cent greater than its Immediate predecessor
three north Middle States 3 per cent; Pacific
States per cent.
All the other States show an increase. The
four south Middle States, Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia and West Virginia ~ per cent;
the four south ATLANTIC cotton States, North
Carolina to Florida, 2L per cent; six west
cotton States. Alabama to Tennessee, IA per
cent; the north central States, Kentucky to
Wisconsin, Ia per cent The States west of
the Mississippi, per cent: The heavy de-
cline on the Pacific coast is due to the reduced
production in California and the great in
crease in the Southwest was in Texas. A
considerable weakening of prices is indicated.

The Temperance Meeting sat Lake
 Ville.

The meeting at Lakeville Friday last, prov ed to be one of the most interesting and suc- cesstul temperance gatherings ever attended in North Western Connecticut, The special train from the East with eight coaches we'll filled, arrived at the Grove about 10 o'clock a. m., and tue one from Millerton about three fourths Of an hour later. The grove wlich has become quite celebrated during the past sea- son, IS n o ordinary one. It covers about twenty five or thirty acres, with fine thrifty oaks, and gentle slope from either edge to a large plat eau nearly in it's centre, no underbrush or stone. beautiful sheet of water on the one hand and the Conn. Western railroad on the other, with company composed of whole-soul- ed, public-spirlted men, controlling the same, one would search far without finding a more attractive picnic ground. To prevent confus- ion, each town had its table assigned to them, with B. a-guide-board pointing out it's location. The platform for the speakers and the invited guests had been erected on the southerly side of l the grove, near the shore of lake Wononscopom- | Onoc. The Cornwall and Winsted bands were in attendance, ,and furnished some very fine mu- sic until about II o'clock a. m, when the exer- cises of the day were opened with singing. After prayer by Rev. T. E. Miles of Winsted and singing, Dr. Knight made a few timely remarks, welcoming the people of the adjoin- | ing towns to the celebration. The Rev. Geo. Lansing Taylor, the orator of the day, was then introduced and spoke for nearly two hours. Throughout the entire address the au- dience listened attentively, frequently ap- plauding enthusiastically. It was mas5erly, vivid, and truthful description of the giant curse of the age, containing some of the rarest and lOftlest bursts of eloquence with which New England audience has ever been lifted and stirred. It deserves to be reported
 in full as temperance campaign document not only for the present, but for future thought and memory. Immediately after the close of Dr. Taylor's remarks, the meeting was ad- journed until 2 p. m. During the recess that allowed dinner croluet, swinging and boat ing was in order. The exercises of the after noon consisted of short but stirring speeches by one MT. Warren of Bridgeport Reverends Hallocl and Miles of Winsted, T. L. Norton and Dr. H. M. Knight of Lakeville. The exercises of the day were concluded about 1-2 D. m, and the remainder of the afternoon was devot- ed to amusements a ride of about twenty-five minutes around the lake upon a1arge pleasure boat lowed by that pert little steamer ''Lulu, , gave many an opportunity to fully appreciate the great stores of natural beauty with which Laveville abounds. It is safe to say that the meeting gave general and unbounded satis- faction, and the universal expression was that the great hospitality, kindness and attention shown by he good peo- pie of s Salisbury and Lakev1lle, could not | be Surpa SS6d.
