Some remarkable statistics are published,
showing the immense amount of freight that

In 1872 there were 204,351 freight and stock
can passed over the New York Central
Road to Albany. of which 124,532 airswere
transferred to the Boston a: Albany Road,
showing that the New York Central owes
me than half its freight businm between
Budalo and Alban to New England. The
completion of the oosnc Tunnel and the
consolidation of these smaller roads Into a
trunk line running through it by a shorter
route to Boston Inst tend to increase this
immense business and enlarge the trade and
commerce of Boston.

brought to view the briberies of legislatures,
the frauds of railroad corporations, the

We haveaome hope that this great moral

a purer morality, a stauncher integrity, 3

iently with all political offenders, that the
federal government will be forced into the

that the law-abiding people of the State are

Naruzs, Italy, Jan 161b, 1873.
To Ge Evh‘tor of Tm; Scrum-:1. :
My last. letter left us at Gibraltar, which
place we left on a pleasant Sunday evening,
and proceeded for several days up the Spun-
iah coast. Being only about a mile from
shore we could see everything quite distinct»
ly. Far away in the distance was a range
of lofty mountains, whose snow cupped tops
were for the most part for above the clouds.
Nearer was a range not so lofty, whose Sides
were covered from top to bottom with vine-
yards and groves of orange and lemon trees.
Many white villages were also scattered
along, and numbers of solitary houses peep-
ing out from among the trees, Their feluc-
cas, or fishing boats, were continually dart-
ing to and fro, often directly before our bow,
and were numerous enough to make the sea
look white. While crossing IIIe‘ Gulf of
Lyons we lost sight of land, and the ship
rolled considerably, but one beautiful morn»
ing we awoke to find ourselves opposite
Nice, whose beautiful white beach extended
out II great distance, and was full of very
large hotels which are crowded in the winter
time, u the climate is excellent for consump-
Iives, the city being sheltered on three sides
by the mountains, and only open to the
warm south winds. From hereto Genoa the
scene was one of surpasing beauty. The
bills were terraced from the sea entirely to
the top. and the towns were so numerous
that Icounted thirty towns in sight at one
time, each as distinct from the other as if
they had been miles apart. From every one
rose the spire or dome of an immense cathe—
rirnl, towering for above cVerything else.—
Upon summits commanding the views were
the villas of many French and Italian noble-
mcn. On every lofty rock and projecting
crag a mined castle. On every mountain
peak a tall, square tower, covered with ivy,
which must formerly have been watch-tow-
ers. There is a railway along the coast, but
we did not see a train of cars, although con-
tinually on the lookout for one. Sometimes
we could see the queer little donkeys trot-
tIng along with their heavy loads, and it
seemed as if the smaller the donkey the
heavier the load. Just before we reached
Genoa it began to rum, and a for: came up
so heavy that we could not see anything of
the city, which was a great disappointment,
nsit issaid topresont a better appearance
from the sea, than any cityin the world
Naples andLConstuIdnople alone excepted.
We were told that it had rained every dn y
for three months, and were quite prepared
to believe it, for everything was washed as
clam as if it had just been scrubbed. For
tunately it did not rain to any extent during
our stay, so we explored the city thoroughly,
going intoall the high hills shout it, on the
top of every one of which there is a fort-
ress. How they ever carried up the heavy
guns is us much a mystery to me as it. was
at Gibralter, for one of the fortresses is
reached by a flight of 1,493 steps. 0f the
churches the cathedral pleased are least of
all. One erected by the Pirates was the
met gorgeous thing one could possibly im-
agine. They melted up many thousand
pounds of their ill-gotten gold to adorn the
interior,which contains many large statues,
and magnificent paintings. The pillars are
white marble, while the floor is a beautiful
mosaic. The church of St. Ambrose has a
lofty dome, beautifully frescoed. In fact
everything iuGenoa is mosaic, marble, and
freshen. m the ouhides of the houses

being done so naturally that it was some
days before we discovered that only about
half of the windows were really in. It

the finest collection of pictures in this city,
contained in eight large galleries opening
one out of the other. The floors of each
are in different kinds of marble worked into
the most exquists designs. They also con-
tain magnificent tables, the top of one, about
five feet by three, being one amethyst;
others are of agate, mosaic and marble, also
venetian looking-glasses, and many statues
of the family. In this collection is the orig-
inal 8’. Sebastian, by Guido Reni, for which
one of the family paid three hundred thous.
and francs. There are such wonderful pic-
tures here, I should like to sit a week and
look at them. When we were ready tote“;

“ Your peritlouels‘, residents and voters of

the icense Law on the part of Sylvester
Hurlbutt, in that, by his own confession,
he was found guilty by Hon. Judge Crew,
of selling intoxicating liquors to minors on.
or about the 25th of December, 1872, and
we would most. respectfully ask that his
license be revoked."
The petitioners claimed that Its the new
License Low went into effect on Sept. 15th,
1872, and that, as the defendant had vio
lated the same on Dec. 25th, after his appli-
cation for license had been filed, and the
money therefore paid over, and having
pleaded guilty to the charge made at the
time on Jun. 2d,1873,theve was no altera-

Mr. Woodward lucidly explained the law
in the premises, and Judge Giddings, clos-

Commissioners, and particularly the agents
of the petitioners, by informing them that,
while Mr. Hurlbutt had applied for a license,
and it had been granted, he did not receive
the same until Jan. 3d, 1873, and therefore,
while his act of selling to minors was a
violation of law (for which he had paid the
penalty,) he was, at the time of its commis-
sion an unlicensed person, and hence could
not be held amenable, and the Commis-
sioners had not authority to revoke.

of the eagle, near the boat house of Mr.
Burritt‘s, and, at 11 o‘clock that day, was
agreeably surprised to see his prey alight
thereon. It took but. It few minutes to se-
cure him, and it was found that the trap had
inflicted only slight injuries.
On Tuesday morning the eagle was
brought to this city, and exhibited at the
saloon of Mr. Theo. Knapp, on Main street,
where hundreds came to viewthe rare sight.
In the afternoon a strong cage was erected
by the Messrs. Knappszitch, rear of Foote’s
Hotel, where he will remain for the winter-

third cnglu that Mr. Burritt has secured dur-
ing the past ten years.

good citizen, and the boast so often made by
many that they take no interest in politics,
is an admission that they are unworthy of
being citizens of a free republic, and that
they are the unconscious allies of the aimi-
nals who are at war with honest govern‘
ment. The editor, who denounces politics
and politicians without making it clear that
he intends to reflect upon the vicious and
not the honest, and who makes no discrimi-
nation between politics as a science of gov- .
emment and politics as a means of plunder,
illustrates himself either as anignornmns or
a demagogue. The preacher who must oc-
casionally denounce politicians in order to
please that portion of Ins congreganon who
ignore their political duties and who think
it more important to barta and trade than
to concern themselves for good governmt-
gives unconscious aid to politicians of the
worst sort. , ,.
Party politics Is a contemptibl‘e thing, and
there is neither sense nor propriety in divis-

distinctive difference. To illustrate by ref-
We demand an
intelligent Mayor, an honest Treasurer, an
efficient Tax Collector, a respectable police,
honest and honorable representatives in the
Legislature. Does it make any difference
whether the candidates for those oflca be—

mand economy of expenditures and low
taxation. “’0 must therefore have an hon-

Of all writings of manfnone is so widely
perused and so critically examined, as a
newsp :per; and of all public characters,
newspaper contributors mostly require dili-
gence, energy and patient application. The
necessity of giving variety to their articles,
in length, and subject, and style creatm a
heavy draft upon the intellect. The articles
must not be too long, or they will weary,
no matter how much thought expands, It
must be contracted ; nor how many may
suggest themselves, they must be condensed
into narrow compass ; the marrow of the
subject must be extracted by patient toil,
and served up in a tiny gilt dish to fastidious
renders. They must not be too short, or
some will complain that the subject is left
unfinished. They must not be too dry, or
the flrful or careless minded will not read;
they must not be too light, or the austere
will turn from them with distrust. The lan-
guage must not be too learned, or it will
shoot over the heads of the youth, the fu«
ture strength of the land; it What betoo
simple or the sort-Inna leaned on is»:
the pieces with contempt. mayo. mast
be easy, flowing; or none will be pleased.
To suit all these'vaI-ions tastes, the news-
paper contributor must rsckhia brain to pre—
pare one or more articles" III the seve styles.
His genius must be as versatile as the tastes
of the reading public, and whatever may
be the demands upon his attention, It that
all be donewithin the required time. If he
fails often, 'woe to his reputation, and conse-
quently to his support. Who can entirely
satixy all these dtmnpdai! To be making»;—
to all men requires versatility and tact, as
well aspmienttoil, Andafterallthewoek
is done, cohearpatieatly the errors in gram“ ' -
mar, orthography and pmt‘uuiéufin'which
the printers contrive to dress up his produc-
tions, requires the grace of a Christian.
