The Ront john o. McCuIIourh

The Sunday Tribune contains an &C
count of the trial trip of the Erie rail-
ways new ferry boat, as follows:
1.-THE new steel ferryboat John G. Nc
Cullough, built by Neafie & Levy OF
Philadelphia, for the New York, Lake
Erie and Western Railroad Company,
made her trial trip yesterday afternoon
from the Company's ferry,sip at Cham.
bers street, with party of invited
guests. The Mccullough is vessel of
the same type as the Hoboken ferryboat
Bergen, having a screw propeller at each
end, the shaft running the entire length
of the boat. The engine, however, is OF
the compound type, instead of the triple
expansion one used in The Bergen. Her
principal measurements are: Length
over all, 2l5 feet; beam at water line, IS
30 feet; beam over guards, OBJECT; depth
at centre, 10 feet, and depth at ends, 14i
feet. She is fitted with williamson
steam steering gear, and is lighted
throughout by electricity,
1.-THE absence Of wheel-boxes makes
possible open cabins of uniform width
from end to end, and the placing Of the
engines and machinery below the deck
gives added sp ce to the driveways,
room being needed above decks for the
smOkestack only. The cabins are abund
antly lighted by large windows Of plate
glass, and the walls and ceilings are pref
tily finished in pea-green and silver. In
candescent lights are placed along the
walls, there being seventy lights in eacl
cabin. The effect of monotony is broken
by handsome oval window amidships
with a chandelier depending from an
oval mirror In the ceiling encircled by
incannescent lights.
'The Mccullough left Chambers street
at 2:l5 p. M, and proceeded down the
bay at a good speed, receiving and an
swering the salutes Of river-craft of al
descriptions. Opposite Bay Ridge She
turned and ran up to the West Shore
docks at Weehawken, engaging in sew
eral impromptu races on the way. She
returned to her slip at 1850.
among those on board were w. C.
Rinearson, general passenger agent OF
the Erie; w. II. Starr, superintendent OF
transportation; W. w. Stearns, superin'
tendent of the Eastern Division; and a
number of directors and officials Of rail
way and ferry companies. The new boat
win begin running tomorrow, on the
Chambers street line. She will probably
be run from Twenty-third street after.
ward, and it is expected that she will re.
duce the running time on the latter ferry
by at least five minutesp

The Y. NJ. G. A. of Williams College,
was represented in our churches last
Sunday, by three of its members, Messrs.
COwan, Bishop and Lee, from the respec-
tive States of Massachusetts,, Connect
icut and Oregon. Union meetings of
the young people were held in the Con-
gregational Church at $3.50 p. M, and at
Z o'clock in the evening, under the direc-
ton of the students, and were made
profitable by iudicious and persuasive
presentation of the gospel upon all,
and especially as being adapted to the
needs aud wants of the young. The
meetings were well attended, and the
opinion prevailed, that the earnestness
and candOr of the young men must leave
a lasting impression for good, in the
The valve of the whistle in the Paper
Mill in some way was out of order, when
the steam was started after stopping
work Saturday, in order to commence
work Monday, and an alarm was given
which startled the citizens, supposing it
was blowing for fire. The reason was
soon understood and homes were sought
thankful it was false alarm.
1t occurred about nine o'clock, Sunday
evening.
The large buttonwood logs, cut from
the trees sold by B. T. Henry to H. S.
Walbridge, are being sawed at the mill
of H. c. White. One was over four feet
in diameter and required some skill to
saw it, with the power and conveniences
in any mill in this vicinity. The material
is to be worked into sterescopes.
The concert and supper at the Hins-
dillville Church on Wednesday evening,
March 4th, promises to exceed in interest

Towsley and double quartette and quar-
tette under the direction of Justin Ball.
The object of these entertainments is to
secure fund for repairing the inside of
the church.

How Bennington VIII EntertaIn the
Crowd.

The Bennington correspondent of the
Troy Times speculates as follows:
The visit of the States committee on
the celebration of next August, made in
Bennington last Thursday, has been the
I talk of the town ever since, and it seems
to have given great satisfaction. All the
members seem to have realized that the
credit of the State was concerned, and
that the responsibility rested, where the
Legislature has put it, on them! They
will be cordially supported by Benning-
toms citizens. Gov. Page himself was
a member of the executive committee
which had, to large extent, the conduct
of the centennial of 1877, though, resid-
ing in distant part of the State, he took
no very active part in its work. Still his
connection with it gave him an expert
ence he would not otherwise have had.
That there will be very large assembly
in Bennington is conceded on all hands.
Bennington is accustomed on August 10
to see an influx of people even when no
great celebration is promised or expect
ed. Every house is open and there are
practically no closed doors in town for
several days before and after one of these
great gatherings. Tents are erected in
the dooryards of the people. On the
occasion of the centennial of 1877 one
prominent citizen entertained forty
guests, and he had only an ordinary
sized house, for family of six or eight
to do it in. He put cots in his sleeping
rooms. On his lawn he seta tent for
dining hall, VIII re "meals at all hours"
were to be had. Neither.he nor his wife
pretended to entertain at the table in the
ordinary sense Of the word. Some of the
guests were some of the most distin-
guished people in the land, and they
were all hidden welcome by their most
hospitable host and hostess and were
likewise hidden to entertain themselves,
which they were abundantly able to do
and did do. twas three or four days
picnic of the most enjoyable kind. 9th
ers who had larger houses filled them
from first floor to garnet with guests.
Then, too, every house that could spare
room and seat at table was open for
price that was reasonable. The com
mittee erected large tent filled with
hunks at fifty cents a piece which were
in good demand. Thus it is that Ben
mngtun, accustomed to taking care OF
large accessions to her transient pOpula-
ton, does it with ease and with comfort
to the cared for Gov. Page had called
together on Thursday another commit
tee, of which he was the chairman, but
the committee had no duties to perform
and has not yet, This committee con
sists of himself as chairman and the di-
rectors of the Monument Association
resident in Bennington county. The
duty of this committee is, when the
Monument Association shall have any
money to do it, to take into cOnsidera-
ton the purchase of more land, so as to
extend the grounds around the Monu-
ment, and the committee has power to
institute proceedings of condemnation
in the Supreme Court when purchase is
imprlcticable. Should the bill now be-
fore Congress, and part of one of the
regular appropriation bills, pass before
March 4, this committee would be again
called together at once.
