 Nor DEAD OR SLEEPNG.-THE Coop NEWS RECEIVED THE PAST WEEK ABOUT THE NEW RAILRoAD.-The people in this locality have been encouraged in their hopes for the building of the Providence, Ponagansett and Springfield road, by the following announcement, which appeared in last Wednesday s Providence Telegram
 'The firm of Schofield and Cushing of this city, with competent force of engi- neers, take the field to-day between Provi. dence and Danielsonville on the proposed line of the Providence, Ponagansett & Springfield railroad. The survey has al- ready been made to Danielsonville, but it is desired to improve it in several partic- lars, and this will be done by the force now starting out.

 Grand Master Bower, of the state grange, has issued circular letter which he in structs the masters of local granges to have read at each meeting till all conven- tions and primaries for nominating candi- dates in each party for state, senatorial and legislative representatives have been held. MT. Bowen recognizes the duty of the citizen to attend the caucuses of his party, and he knows that bad legislation might long ago have given place to good legislation if the farmers of Connecticut had attended to these matters in the past as they ought to have done. He talks with refreshing plainness to the grangers of Connecticut in the letter referred to. and if the quotation we give from it doesn't stir them up to their duty we don't know what will: 'sIf you have not the public spirit to attend these meetings do not here after complain to me or to the order of un- fair or interruptions legislation. If each does his part the results will be grand and helpful to all"
 There are some signs of improvement in our shipbuilding industries. For years we have built the finest inland steamers and coasting vessels in the world, but re- gently we have been building some of the best of the ocean going steamers. The Seguranca, which has just been finished at the Chester, Pa., yards for the United States and Brazilian line, arrived in the Erie basin in NewaX Xorks Saturday, pre- paratory to taking out her first cargo. She is described as one of the best, if not the best, steamship ever built in this country. She IS fitted for 800 passengers, cabin and steerage, and carries nearly 4,0OO tons of freight, the facilities for handling and for keeping perishable freight being of the most improved models The companion to the Seguranca, to be called the Viz ilancia, is on the stocks and will be launch. ed in few months.

It includes an exchange of all the commodities that are imported and exported from one country to the oth. er, and Mir. Blaine embraces all the coun- tries on this hemisphere. This means something of consequence-the opening of commerce that will be felt. He confines the free exchange to this continent for the reason that our friends south and north of us do not seriously compete with this coun- try in manufacturing industries.
