Railroad Matters.

Tbara is some excitement in New Hamp-
shire. especially on the part OF those in'e'-
ested in the Northern railroad, over the
withdrawal of the through business oil
the Central Vermont from the Northern
and its transfer to the line by way OF BEL
lows Falls. And the interest is greater
because of the survey by the Central OF a
new line that would give it and the Boston
and Lowell control of line to Bost'n'
The proposed line would run FROM 'u''
.or down to Ascutneyville, then cross the
river and run about fo'ty miles across
country where it wcald connect with a
road to Nashua. Should the new road be
built through freights could not be con-
trolled by the Northern or by roads farther
south that are liable to be more interested
in the lines running westward through
western Massachusetts.
The through freight has been much
heavier this year than ever before, the
reason for the increase being found in the
growth of the country and increase of
products. 1t is estimated that throughout
the whole country last year there were
raised AS 900. 600 bushels of wheat, $780,
900, 600 bushels of corn, 4l3,000000 BUSH
els OF oats, 24OOO,OOO bushels of rye,
40,0OO,00O bushels of barley and 100000
bales of cotton, to say nothing of tobacco
sugar, rice, hemp, hay and other crops,
and hog and dairy products.
This immense production could not Of
course be consumed in the United States
and such quantities of it have sought the
seaboard as to crowd all transporting
facilities to their utmost capacity.
The Central Vermont of course gets its
largest through business by means of its
Chicago connections, By these it obtain:
share of the shipments sent from that
wonderful inland mart. And what even a
small share of the transportation from
Chicago may amount TO may be seen from
the statement going the rounds of the
business of that city for the past year.
This statement is rs follows:
The receipts of grain and flour at Chi
cago for the year 1880 foot up 165 ,594 So
bushels against 1871 ,624, 1873 in 1879. The
shipments of grain and flour in 1886
amounted to 15S,070 400 bushels. The
receipts of lumber for the year were 1855,
4S7 600 against ,4S1, $40, 1872 in 1879; Of
shingles, 652, 1852 600 in 1880 against d78,-
l79 900 in 1879. The number of live hogs
received was 1853 229 against 6,448,647 in
1879, and the aggregate value of hogs,
cattle, sheep and horses received at the
Union stock yards during the year is esli-
mated at 1929, 100000 The Chicago bank
clearings for the year reach the enormous
sum of $l725,684 1911, showing an in
crease of S46S 100000 over those of 1879,
which were the largest figures previously
recorded.

A Gold Week.

The weather that has been calling for
hot fires here in Vermont for Il week has
moi been local in its application. 1t has,
indeed, though it has kept steadily at the
business of freezing things, shown here
no such extreme of cold as we not seldom
get for morning or two.
But all over the United States the ''cold
spell > has been unusually long and in
many places, especially in the south, is
said to have been the most severe that has
been known for quarter of u century
Thus at Petersburg, Va, IL" below zero
is reported and there has been good sleigh
ing in many of the southern states Some
of the gulf states even have been favored,
if it is any favor where folks are so poorly
prepared for cod with five or six inches
of snow.
Loss of life is reported in many of the
southern states from exposure to the I'M
expected rigor of winter. The more CEN
trail states too report many cases of injury
and death by freezing. Railroad train,
have been blocked as far south rs Virginia
by the snow and altogether the advent o.
1881 will be long remembered for tn,
extensive cold chill " that accompanies

The fighting Russian general, Skobe
lrff, is having a good time. For he finds
the Turcomans in such force and grit that
they drove him back the other day, that
gives him chande for another fight and
of course fills his soul with Joy.
The public laws of 1880 will be found in
the supplement which we send out this
week. Our readers can look them over
and see how many of them they have
violated before knowing what they
were. They went into force the 1st, Of
January though the people couldn't find
out what they were till after that time.

A special meeting of Central Vermont
Pomona Grange was held at Brookheld
December 29th, with the following officers
present: George Crane, worthy master
Wm. E. Brown, worthy overseer; ii.
Hayward, worthy secretary; Geo. Denny,
worthy steward; L. N. Ellis, assistant
steward; c. c. Holden, chaplain; Marsh
all Green, secretary pro tenn; Mrs. l.. N.
Ellis. lady assistant steward. The fore
noon session was devoted to matters per.
tanning to the work of the grange. The
subject of holding a fair the coming year
under the auspices of the Pomona Grange
was considered and discussed by Bros.
Hayward, Ellis. Abbott, Hopkins, kidder'
Williams and Crane. 1t was not thought
advisable to hold such IA fair, but to use
their influence to somewhat change the
management of the organizations already
in existence. The sentiments expressed
seemed to indicate that it was the duty OF
all farmers to attend the annual meetings
of the agricultural societies and use their
Influence in shaping the same. At noon
sumptuous dinner was served in the large
dining hall, to which ample justice wa'
done. The afternoon meeting was public
and we'll attended. Worthy Master Crane
presided. 1t was opened by music from
the choir, followed by recitation by Mrs
Althea Bacon. Then followed a practica
address by Prof. Sabin, of the universit!
of Vermont, upon PLANT Food" TIT
subject was treated in II very able name
and the gentleman could not have made
more appropriate selection. He impresse
some new ideas upon his audience an
gave them something for thought. Sing
ing again by the choir WAS followed by
poem by Mrs. Samuel Peck. Resolution
thanking Prof. Sabin and the unversit
for the excellent address, the choir, Mrs
Peck, Mrs. Bacon and Brookfield Grang
were unanimously adopted and the meet
ing adjourned.

The year 1881 begins life fairly on thi
side the Atlantic. 1t finds business in
fairly prosperous condition. and so far al
the great American republic is concerned
not likely TO be disturbed by political strif
"lthin, orr by any national complication
without. Abundant harvests for the yea,
gone by, an unusual progress in the open
ing OF newer fields ofindustry "a the west
promise well for the busness activities oil
the next twelve months.
The rest of North America is quiet
enough, and matters that excite interest
are rather those Ike the Canadian railway
project for Il Pacific railway. and the Cen
trail American canals between the Atlantic
and Pacific, than any thing in the line of
nantonal quarrels.
South America is reasonably quiet for
that inflamable part of the world. Chill
is not through with her Peruvian and Boil
ivian war, but has had such good fortune
that the dispute must soon be closed.
Europe 50 far as the continent is con.
cerned. does not seem likely to get into 4
blaze" The Nihilists, it is true, are
supposed to keep at work in Russiu, anC
may succeed in killing off the car, but
that will worry nobody but his late mis-
tress and present wife. particularly though
as czars 90 he is a very good kind of car.
There is no great change likely to come in
the form of government in Russia or else
where in Europe at present.
England finds herself more bothered Just
now than any of the continental nations.
The Irish trouble has gone beyond the
reach off any remedies that appear applic-
able. 1t may yet come that an army will
have to be put into Ireland and the people
crushed by military force, or that the bold
idea suggested by the famous Gen. Gordon
otherwise called Chinese Gordon" will
have to be applied.
This Gordon, who has developed won
derful powers in settling matters in eastern
Asia where a few millions of people hap
pened to get in rebellion, or kingdom
had something all it out of the common
run that needed extraordinary remedies,
has been visiting ireland, and his conclus.
ions are given in a letter to the London
Times. Gordon would have the govern
ment buy up the west of Ireland at Il cost
of some four hundred millions of dollars,
