The Now Haven and NOrthampt0
 Railroad

The Springfield Republican says of the ex- tension of the New Haven and Northampton railroad to BardwelPs on the Hoosac Tunnel line: 'aThere are few heavy cuts or fills, and the only expensive bridges will be those span ming the Connecticut river at Montague City and the South river in Conway. It avoids crossing the Deerisld, and has feasible loca- ton of easy grades, but rather crooked, along it's brink from it's point of meeting. The original surveys made the stespest grade on the line seventy feet to the mile, but Chief Engineer Root, by recent survey, has reduced it to sixty-five feet, and that for only three quarters of a mile. There will be stations for Conway, South Deerfeld and Whately and probably North Hatfield. Considerable busi- ness is likely to fall into the hands of the road at once. The distance from BardweIPs to South Deerfield or Northampton will be nine miles less than by way of Greenfield and the Con- necticut River road, and it will be only some three four miles farther to Holyoke by way of Westfeld than by way of Greenfield. A large amount of freight from the Tunnel road for these points and others farther south is therefore likely to come to the Canal company. It will also have monopoly of the Conway business, the freight to and from whose facto- ries will have to be drawn only two and half instead of five or six miles, the distance now to South Deerfeld. Then, the new line is likely to carry about all the coal used at Turn CTS Falls, which is quite an item, and will get fair proportion of both the outward and in ward freight of that embryo city. Perhaps we shall some day see President Yeamans offering to draw not only his own but all the freight passing over the Troy and Greenfield road for less than the State now has to pay the Fitch burg road for the service

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Catarrh, explains the following important facts:
 l. That Catarrhal Colds become poi sonOus infection, at first local, and finally 
 2. That, being Constitutional, the.infection is beyond the reach of mere local remedies.
 3. That impurities in the nostrils. are necessarily swallowed into the stomach and inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning tho Digestive. Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs.
 4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu- cous membrane and causes Deafness, Dyspepsia, Chronic Diarrhoea, Bronchitis, Leueorrhoea, and Consumption.
 5. That Smokes, Douches, Limitations, and Insoluble Snufs. cannot possibly remove infectious inflammation from the organs named.
 6. That an antidote for Catarrh must pos sess an inocuIativo affinity for, and the quality of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous wherever located.
 Based upon these plain theories, Dr. Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved to be infallible. It not only relieves, it cures Catarrh at any stage. Home testimony;

Notwithstanding Smeaton's modesty, this report of Smeaton stands to-day as a model work, masterpiece of engineering literature. The professor drew an encouraging lesson from this,-that beautiful old lesson expressed of old, 'tPerseverantie Omnia Vincit."
 The professor referred to the necessity now for a new structure in place of Smeaton's light house, made necessary simply because the ceaseless throb of the waves had undermined the very rock on which the splendid work is finished. Smeaton's tower has actually shown itself moro durable than the rock itself. The best tribute to his skill is that today the new light must be a copy of Smeaton's plan. This much had been said but 1t was not too much to say for such pioneer, for such self sacrifice, such heroism. The speaker now paid tribute to the profession which held out such prizes, and inducements to such hon orable and noble successes. The profession must not be entered into lightly nor thought an easy or trihing thing. The best intellect, fhe best preparations were needed; more than that, the work of the engineer was displayed to the eyes of the world. Blemishes and er- TOTS had no hiding place in the exercise of the profession, no faulty performance could escape criticism. Hence all the more cause for per feet preparation and work. Mental honesty was also requisite in this profession, not achievements of such profession speak an eloquent word to him who can understand 'thelr voice.
 Concluding, the lecturer said No stone in Westminster Abbey tells his story, or records his deeds, but far out at seq, in a grander tenn pie not made with hands, beneath vaster

The Terrible Distress OF the Fa.
mine strick en- Irish People.

In the neighborhood Of Sligo, writes
correspondent Of the Cork "Constitu
tion," the distress has reached a terri
BILE pitch in spite Of every local effort Il
stem its onward course. This morning
the Relief Committee were waited ON BY
eight hundred poor wretches clamorine
for food, and perhaps not quarter OF
them will be able to carry to their
starving children tonight so much as
a pound Of meal. The funds of the
committee are running out, they can
not give to all who apply, and they
therefore have to weed out the cases
and render assistance only to those
who are almost dying with starvation.
This is what Roderick Gearty, of
Grange, in the parish of Ahamlish, has
to say about the condition of the pso-
Pile: A " conscientious doctor" of the
Clifoney district told me a few days
ago that he was after attending the
father of a large family, and that the
man was dying of hunger, and, but a
few hours since, | met with another
highly respectable man from the 81 me
part of the parish, and he assured me
that very decent woman, and the
mother of large family, came to him
in the morning, and on her knees be-
sought him to give her the price of
qrarter stone of meal. She was suf-
fering the pangs of hunger. Even in
this part of the parish, where the peo
pie are comparatively comfortable, there
were some at this moment without q
morsel to eat.
1t is the awful truth that famine is
not merely approaching, but that it
has already come, and yet all the means
which have. been received up to this
time wherewith to fight this fell de-
stroyer have been e95 from the Marl-
borough Fund. ESQ from the Mansion
House, $50 from local sources and $50
from the Bishop Of Liverpool. Hun
dreds of people crowded into town, day
after day, clamoring for relief. Some
of the poor souls declare they have been
whole days without tasting food, and
their wasted looks, their sor-
rowful eyes and hollow cheeks fully
confirm their assertions, The bulk of
the population of this parish is squat
ted at the foot of the Ok Mountains,
which extend for eight miles along it.
The land is bad, mostly reclaimed
bog. The holdings are very small
and the people at any time are here,
With few exceptions, wretchedly poor;
out this year they have been entirely =
uined by the heavy rains of the sum- I
ner and the autumn, which, rushing
lown the mountain side, have flooded .
md destroyed both crops and cattle, +
md left them completely destitute. s
here are over four hundred families, f
which represent about two thousand a
'ersons, on the list of the Relief Com n
nittee, and many of them have eaten n
he last pound of food that cash or cred q
could bring them, and have no hope

hat is before them until next harvest n

query 'if he would not pay her his
board 7" This he declined to do, when
she commenced to use abusive, language
aid threatened to take it out OF his
hide. In response he asserted that no
one at her house was equal to such an
endeavor. She accordingly went home
and when New was half way up the
block he was met by Mr.. Lewis, who

which ensued the formers clothing was
