RAILROAD MATTERS.

1t is stated that there is no truth in the
widely circulated rumOrs that the Boston
and Lowell people are negotiating for the
purchase of the Passumpsic road. Boston
papers however, state that the belief is
still very strong in financial circles that
negotiations looking to union of some
kind of the Boston and Lowell and Pas
sumpsic roads are yet in progress.
The Central Vermont is going to grad
ually replace its sixty pound steel rails
with seXenty-two pound rails. About
three miles will be laid northward from
White River junction this autumn. The
old rails will be used in the yard at st.
Adams. The process will be Il slow one
along the line, and the expense will be
charged to operating expenses.
The new railroad which Ex-Governor
Proctor proposes to build between Clar-
endon Springs and Pittsfurd will at first
be operated by horse power 1t is solely
for the transportation of marble between
quarries and mills and points of delivery
for markets.
The officials of the Boston and Lowell
railroad will make their annual inspection
of the entire system this week,
Work on the Vermont Valley railroad
company's turn-table at Brattleboro, on
the site of the old gravel knoll is well adj
vanced. The pit is built of granite, and
Mr.. Lyon has the contract for putting it
| in. The railroad cOmpany's stone masons
are now at work on the abutments for II
new bridge which is being built a mile
and half from the Westminster station
to take the place of seventy-foot trestle
which has heretofore done service there.
The gap will be narrowed to Il span of six
teen feet, which will be spanned by an
iron bridge. When this work is done the
men will be brought TO Brattleboro and
the foundation laid and pits built for the
new engine house near the turn-tabe.
Superintendent Voorhees, has ordered
that all fiagmen on the Delaware and Hud
son Canal road sent out to flag trains
shall use two torpedoes in addition to the
usual red lights, as an additional precau
ton against accidents.
There is talk of building a railroad
from East Montpelier to Barre 1t is un
derstood that the Montpelier and Well,
River road has lately passed into the
hands of the Boston and Lowell road, and
If there is any move AS indicated by the
rumor it is for the purpose of feeder to

pei the Central managers to reduce their

ARCHDEACoNf ARRARIN MONTREAL
An Eloquent Sermon by the Distinguish

MONTREAL. p. .. Sept. 2l.-St Georges
church was filled to the doors, yesterday
morning, to hear Archdeacon Farrar
preach. He took for his text Ephesans
V. a. Wherefore he saith, awake thou
that sleepest." In the great medieval
allegory, he said, he who having fallen
away from innocence desires to return to
the ways of righteousness, is made to climb
a steep hill, at the top of which is a mar
row wicket through which he must pass.
To this wicket there are three steps, one
pure white, one purple and one of burning
red These steps are symbolical of the
three stages of repentance, the step of
sincerity, the step of contrition and the
step of love. Have you ever tried to take
your stand upon the lowest step, that of
perfect sincerity, the step which mirrors
the whole man? When mems eyes are
open and they are brought to look fairly
and fully upon themselves, when they
have brought themselves to connect their
own personality with guilt and sin, when
at last the voluble spirit of excuse is sill
enced, what follows. | know but one
word which describes the result. 1t is
