work trains are employed on both ends Of
the road, laying new ties. 10000 of which
will probably be laid this season. As the
road was not aba to make any satisfactory
arrangement with the Grand Trunk mono
poly to cross the Victoria bridge at Mint
real, other means OF crossing the ST..
Lawrence have b;en devised. A COM
pany has been forced with the purpose in
view of building bridge from Longeuil
to St lIelen's island, and from the latter
place to the metropolis the current is strong
and the river never ireezss. SO that ferry
boats can be run all the year round. The
company for the construction of the bridge

quired, has been paid in. An extension
of the main line of the Southeast

communication by ferry with Montreal will
be made until the bridge to ST. llelen's
island is completed. It is expected that all
the arrangements will be completed for

THREE REPUTABLE CITIZENS OF ST. ALBANs
DISCOVER WHAT APPEARS To Be A HUGE
SERPENT. IN LAKE CHAMPLAIS.
The celebrated Lake Champlsin sea-ser'

afternoon Charles Ii. Harvey. L. NJ. Down
ing and W. VI Diving, while fishing in
row boat west OF St Adams shore. heard a
great agitation of the water at a distance,
and on looking towards Butler Island
some two miles away, they discovered that
the water was dashed into foam. dead
calm was prevailing, there being not so
much az a ripple on the wat er anywhere
else. At first they thought this might have
been caused by school of fish coming to
the surface, but this rational supposition
was soon dispelled The agitation increased
and IN moment the water was thrown to
an estimated height Of thirty or forty
feet. Ia the midst OF 1t they dscov
cred dark object OF considerable bulk
which would rise to the height Of ten or
hiteen feet Tor 4 minnie or two and then 60
down and como up again. They pulled Tor
th- spot rs fast they could, but before
they got near enough TO get any distinct
outline of the object, it dove out of sigh.
and the water soon became placid. The
appearance, however, had continued for
some ten minute, End it impressed each
behoder alike. What It was they do not
pretend TO say, but that it was something
one or two feet in diameter and at least ten
or twelve feet long, and alive and active

The Baltimore Mars aptly says. You

nothing IS thought Of it, but if you swear in

you $40. They are determined to di<cour-

1t must be conceded that Legislatures
have no souls. The British House has adOp-
ted a resolution, declaring in favor Of the
abolition of action for breach of promise of
marriage, except where there has been actu
al pecuniary less by reason Of the breach of
promise. Nothing for lacerated affections.
Queen Victoria can't and won't stand
banged hair. She instructed the brides
maids at the recent wedding of her son that
they would not be permitted to wear their
locks in that fashion, nor to wear tied back
gowns. Last year, it Is reported, Young
lady who came to Drawing-Rocm with her
hair over her ewes was informed by the Lord
Chamberlain that until her hair had grown
she need not attend any more at the
Palace.
