few words in reply. l viii take up his ehhrg-
es IN regular order;
!. Mr.. Davenport asserts that ''the vote Of
Brattleboro and the assent Of the taxpayer
was obtained with the assurance and under
standing that the route by way of Esteyvile
and Cgntrevillo should be adopted This is
simply untrue. No such assurances were Civ
en-
. He asserts that the road has been made
dependent upon the Vermont Valley railroad
company forever" This too, il untrue-the
written contract with the latter company Civ
ing al entirely Independent line into town for
ninety nine years.
3. He asserts that the present line through
Bradley meadow was adopted in order that
few thousand dollars could be saved to the
contractors in the cost Of building the road &"
This charge is also untrue in every particular
The contractors had no voice, and did not
attempt to exercise any influence, in procur-
ing the change of location, which ddded. in
stead of saoiHg, "a few thousand dollars" 10
the cost Of construction.
4. He asserts that the contractors ARE
building cheap poor, shammy {: railroad -
This, too, is false. The masonry to which,
unfortunately for him, he specially refers, as
well as the bridges fthe two most important

with similar structures on the Valley OF any
| other railroad and no man who understands
such work, and respects truth, will say other

have furnished Gess than one-half the whole
number, the company furnishing the balance

ed by the company, and are only received
after careful inspection by the oompany's en-
gineers. The timber used is only such as is
in common use on many first-class roads in
different parts of the country.
!. Look at the trestle-work placed every
where TO save expense :" shouts Mr.. Daven-
port Now, how much trestle-work ''plaeed

the frightened reader suppose there is on this
entire thirty miles of road Surely,
not less than several miles at the very least

The steam yacht JeaHHette, which sailed
out of San Francisco harbor on the afternoon
Of the Sth inst on her voyage Of arctic explo-
ration 10y way of Behring Strait, is vessel of
APO tons bought and equipped for the ser
vice on which She has entered by James Cor
don Bennett Of the New York Herald Her
officers and carefully chosen crew number 30
men all told She carries an engine Of 200
horse power, and is amply supplied with can
vas While in San Francisco her old boilers
were replaced with new ones. her hull was
strengthened 10y bracing. and all sorts Of i'm
plements likely to be Of service were procured
She carries several kinds Of boats, has extru
sails and propelers and is supplied with 1876
tons Of coal. Provisions were put on board
sufficient for three years voyage and she
was SO heavily loaded as to considerably di-
minish her speed upon her departure. The
schooner Fannie T. Hyd, goes with her to
Behring's Sea, carrying coal and stores.
When the vessels part AT st. Michaels the
J,1HHCtt, will take on board from her convoy
stores and coal to rtplAcc thos, consumed on
the voyage thithor, and Their, will be also
stored Oh the shore sufficient supplies for the
return voyage to San Francisco. In this way
the base Of operations is, as il were, transfer
red from San Francisco 10 the last point Of
land, al expedient which is wisely calculated
to make the most of the moderate tonnage of
the J,aHHettt The expedition is command
ed 10y Lieut.. George W Dc Long, of our ma

which will be Of great service to lin il this
undertaking.
This is the first strictly Polar expedition
setting out from the Pacific and attempting
to push forward toward the Pole 10y the way
Of Behring Strait. No vessel. according to
Lieut. De Long. has penetrated further north
through Behring Strait than latitude Il
Beyond that parallel the region is all uu-
known. 1t is known that branch Of the
japanese Warm Stream enters the Arctic Sea
through Behring Strait, and it is believed that

consequently northwRrd on this side and

which adds Il new element Of peril a. it cuts

will be great and memorable achievement.

the troop ship Orontes at Portsmouth Eng
land last Thursday where it was transferred
TO the steam yacht Enchantress which con-
veyed it up the Thames to the Royal Arsenal
at Woolwich, where the remains were identi-
fed, and the process Of embalming was per
fected. The body was perfectly recogniza-
BILE, but the face had been much disfgured
by terrible wound in the right eye. Six
wounds were found on the chest Of so terri
bic nature that death must have been instan-
taneous; also one on the left arm, evidently
caused in the attempt to parry the thrust of 4
Zulu assegai. Thursday evening under the
escort Of the Royal Horse Artillery, the re-
mains were taken to Chiselhurst, where the
funeral took place on Saturday, with impress
