Thebuild- ing and contents were insured for $5,U00, which will probably nearly cover the loss. —Two years ago, Dec. 29, one of the coldest nights of that winter, Yale* Hall, at Nor- wood, burned. In the removing of goods from the endangered buildiugs, a valuable shawl belonging to Mrs. A. H. Bean, and a fine comforter belonging to Mrs. Q. E. Hol- brook, were lost As a thorough search the day following failed to find the articles, it was concluded they had been stolen. Last Monday night, Dec. 20, just two years from the night of the fire, a package was left at 8. A. Wilbur'n house, near the site of the old hall, which contained the lost shawl and comfort- er. The shawl showed the marks of wear,but with the comfortable, proved au uncomforta- ble possession.—Norwood News.

Mackey; corresponding secretary, M. R. Sackett; treasurer, G. A- Lewis. After the customary resolutions to thevillage of Norwood and tbe railroads for courtesies shown, the Associa- tion adjourned to meet at Keusselaer Fails, one year from date. —The Bt Lawrence county Teachers 1 Asso- ciation held its annual meeting at Norwood last week Monday and Tuesday. Monday af- ternoon the association came to order, and in absence of President Haig, Rev. J. 8. Lee, D. D., of Canton, was chosen chairman. A paper on the "Metric System," was read by Zeuas Clarke, of Morristown, which evoked much dtacuftsion, especially in regard to the objections to the system. In theevening a paper was read by Dr. Lee, for his son, Fred- eric Lee, Ph. D., on "The Machinery of the German University," after which Professor Mann, of Potsdam, gave an address on a "Plea- for Physical Science in our Common Schools." Tuesday morning the association was favored by some excellent papers on our common schools and the subject of "Map Drawing," which elicited a lively discussion. A class recitation, conducted by Miss Hale, of Nor- wood, was specially interesting. In the af- ternoon four articles were read, one by Bupt Whitney, of Ogdensburg, on the''Kinder- garten,' 1 one by T. B. Mackey, on "School Government," one byW. T. Duffy, of Og- densUurg, on "Professional Enthusiasm," and one by Prin. M. R. Sackett, on "School Su- pervision," in this state, everyone of which would deserve to be especially mentioned did •pace permit. In the evening Dr. Lee, of Canton, read a history of the association, and Prof. H. P. Forbes, of Canton, delivered an intensely interesting address on the "Minds of Children," for which he was tendered a vote of thanks by the association. It was an oriental doctrine that women have no souls. More enlightened philosophy concedes that they have purer, finer, more exalted souls than men.

I do not propose Indulging in any epi- thets, and think I can tnake a clear case with- out calling any one a liar, or getting oft" that worn out gag, the worm Rtory. Asjae states, we did stipulate that all money raised here should be expended by our directors at this end of the line; some of it, however, did slip out of our hands. The gentleman is not probably aware that we have a receipt from Dr. GtUis, Treasurer of the Company, for two htmd^ed dollars, money advanced to Contractor Cunningham for work done at his end of the line; or of receipts from Attor- ney Btlas W. Wilson, for one hundred and twenty-five dollars for services, he stating that he could not get any money at his end; nor Is he probably aware that Massena paid Engineer Farnaworth's linemen in full for their services. We think had bo known all this he would have been more moderate iu hi* language; these several iteim together equal in amount the entire stock taken by the Fort people in *he R. R. We are per- fectly aware we did not pay any money for bridges there, in fact, we don't know of any bridge having been built by our road at ail; we ao know though that a bridge was built over the Salmon river and have an idea that our Fort friends wcrald like our road to father it; as we do not want to detract from that Fort Covington enterprise the U. 8. and Canada R. R..that linkfof one mile (flVe- eights^of* which is finished) which binds two g r W countries together, we will leave it with that corporation and let them finish their incomplete three-€ights of a mile. The throat* of publishing some letters in Judge Foster's possession is nodoubt very terrify- ing, but we think we can stand it It has been our endeavor to have some light thrown in the dark places, and we should be pleased to be enlightened with our Helena friends. We have not done or written anything we are ashamed or afraid of, and if Judge Fos- ter has got anything that reflect* on any of our people we would like to have it printed. We have heard this reflection before. We heard it at our last meeting and since, we hear of it whenever "the Judge" and his Fort friends think they are losing their grip; like our Republican friends' bloody shirt, it is waved in the hour of peril, but the letter or letters are never shown, nor can' they be, as they ao not exUt And now Mr. Editor, I would like to take a little more of your space regarding this R. R.; it might prove of inter- est to the stockholders between here and the y or t _Over two years ago the company was organized, thecapitol stock $aiti,000 par val- ue stock $25.00. At a meeting at Hogans- burg, stock to the amount of $21,000, was taken, parties along the route taking what they could, and Judge Foster taking what was left, afterwards other stock was subscribed for, tbe total being $23,000 to $23,000 worth; of this amount Massena took over $11,000, Fort Covington we believe about $400. When directors were elected, at Judge Foster^ re- queet, four were taken from the Fort, two each from Bombay and Hogansburg and four from Massena. Judge Foster at large. We acquiesced to this injustice knowing we could not build the R, R. ourselves and thinking as the Judge and his backing were going*fc> bulk! it, he Bhould have the say. Ground, was brokeu Nov. 1884 at Bombay, Hogan*- burg and Massena and work was carried on as long as the weather would permit; at Bom- bay, ibelieve they worked in theswamps all winter. In the spring we started again; Ho- gansburg was told to wait After we had graded to thePhilips farm we were told to stop, then camo the contention over changing the line from Hogansburg to Helena, our di- rectors sided with HogauHburg. The Judge having tbe deciding vote cast it in favor of Helena. Although wo thought that Ho^aus- burg had not been treated fairly in the mat- ter, we joined in with the majority and did what we could to make tho R. R. a^uccew on the new route; this controversy lost us about three months. We were early driven from onr work by the wet weather.' At the annu- al election 1886 the same directors and officers wera ohonen excepting Hogawtburg, two be- ing for Helena hi tl»«ir plium We were told evHrytiiliig «P thriving iWan tiafly rusu!rij&= tioii of work in the spring, hut to reporte were submitted. No work was clone in 188Q, excepting some "Bees" held by the Bombay people, who graded about half a mile. All summer we have been fed by promises «nd rumors. Before our last annual meetingone of our stockholders here wrote Judge Foster telling him we wanted matters better adjust- ed in the boaiti of directors, that we wanted some of the directors at the Fort giventooth- er points, that their representation was entire- ly too large for the amount of stock subscrib- ed, vie: four directors for four hundred dol- lars. We also wrote that we should want re- ports, at the meeting, from the president, treasurer ami engineer. We wanted to know how much stockhad been subscribed for? how much paid for? how much money had been expended and for what! and how much in- debtedness there we»i Our object in making these enquiries was to find out the actual con- dition of the company, (we had never had a report since organisation,) and to find out who tho stockholders wero and how much they had paid in. We had heait 1 that one subscriber to four hundred and five shares had given his check to the treasurer to pay the ten per cent thus enabling the treasurer to certify that it had been paid in, but that the check had never been presented or paid, as this was an important point we wanted to know of i t At the meeting Judge Foster gave us one of his verbose speeches, the sum and substance of which was to stand by him and to elect the same directors. We did get from him though, that the indebtedness against the road was over $43,000. Thei-e were no reports made. - The treasurer, (not a stockholder) making a speech also, telling us what to do. but saying he could not make a report for lack of material. Our Massena friends left the meeting in disgust, refusing to vote, and the meeting finished up the farce by dropping one of our directors and electing •one from Helena in his place. From what we could make out the condition of the road is as follows: Debt against the road over $43,- 000. Assets, about fifteen miles of grading mostly on other people's land, total assets under $20,000. As the entire road could be graded (not including culverts and bridges) for $20,000, and the right of way secured for less than $21,000, it looks to us as though there had been very bad management to put it mildly. We are very much disappointed in all this. We wanted the/oad badly and were willing to devote our time and money to i t As it 5 now we look on the road as insolvent and think we have heard the last of it We have lost all confidence in Judge Foster and think he ha? no money himself nor has the backing of which he brags no much. I hope I may prove wrong in the matter, but in the meantime must sign myself as a DISGUSTED STOCKHOLDER.

Not far into the eveuing your correspondent was surprised to note that 85 couples were partaking 3f thelight fantastic toe. Never was a hall, though not large and spacious thronged with such an assemblage of the smiling and winsome young. Doubtless such gatherings hardly have a precedent any- where, certainly.not in the history of Louis- ville or its immediate vicinity. They came from far and near, which told of the kind ap- preciation and esteem in which the host and hostess were held. At the early hour of 7:80 all had gathered from whence the sound of music came, produced bythe congenial spirits of the Madrid orchestra. To the musical ear not a discordant note reached it Many of the lady participants were richly attired which of itself was evident that a society not ordinary existed. Many of the gentlemen were gayly dressed. As the clock tolled the hour of twelve, the guesta were biddentobe seated around the festive board in the well- lighted dining-room, which was laden with such delicacies as would have honored a no- bleman's table and proceeded by the palata- ble oysters th^t it was our good fortune to' partake. After the hearty repast, all again repaired to thahall enjoying themaelveBun- til the dawn of day bade us hastily return to our homes with happy New Year'stoall. Hoping that idthe near future a repetition of the same may%hke place, we extend our re- gards to our Vjpt and hostess for their untir- ing efforts to W|e it pleasant for all.

—Two years ago, Dec. 29, one of the coldestnights of that winter, Yale* Hall, at Nor-wood, burned. In the removing of goodsfrom the endangered buildiugs, a valuableshawl belonging to Mrs. A. H. Bean, and afine comforter belonging to Mrs. Q. E. Hol-brook, were lost As a thorough search theday following failed to find the articles, itwas concluded they had been stolen. LastMonday night, Dec. 20, just two years fromthe night of the fire, a package was left at 8.A. Wilbur'n house, near the site of the old hall,which contained the lost shawl and comfort-er.

The K u w u Spring* and Fort Oov-, Ington Railroad.

MASSKNA.—Your Fort Covington corres-pondent in his letter of the 30th, ult, makesa few statements which I think need correc-tion. I do not propose Indulging in any epi-thets, and think I can tnake a clear case with-out calling any one a liar, or getting oft" thatworn out gag, the worm Rtory. Asjae states,we did stipulate that all money raised hereshould be expended by our directors at thisend of the line; some of it, however, did slipout of our hands. The gentleman is notprobably aware that we have a receipt fromDr. GtUis, Treasurer of the Company, fortwo htmd^ed dollars, money advanced toContractor Cunningham for work done athis end of the line; or of receipts from Attor-ney Btlas W. Wilson, for one hundred andtwenty-five dollars for services, he stating

that he could not get any money at his end;nor Is he probably aware that Massena paidEngineer Farnaworth's linemen in full fortheir services. We think had bo known all thishe would have been more moderate iu hi*language; these several iteim togetherequal in amount the entire stock taken bythe Fort people in *he R. R. We are per-fectly aware we did not pay any moneyfor bridges there, in fact, we don't know ofany bridge having been built by our road atail; we ao know though that a bridge wasbuilt over the Salmon river and have an ideathat our Fort friends wcrald like our road tofather it; as we do not want to detract fromthat Fort Covington enterprise the U. 8. andCanada R. R..that linkfof one mile (flVe-eights^of* which is finished) which binds twogrW countries together, we will leave itwith that corporation and let them finishtheir incomplete three-€ights of a mile. Thethroat* of publishing some letters in JudgeFoster's possession is no doubt very terrify-ing, but we think we can stand i t It hasbeen our endeavor to have some light thrownin the dark places, and we should be pleasedto be enlightened with our Helena friends.We have not done or written anything weare ashamed or afraid of, and if Judge Fos-ter has got anything that reflect* on any ofour people we would like to have it printed.We have heard this reflection before.We heard it at our last meeting and since,we hear of it whenever "the Judge" and hisFort friends think they are losing their grip;like our Republican friends' bloody shirt, i tis waved in the hour of peril, but the letteror letters are never shown, nor can' they be,as they ao not exUt And now Mr. Editor, Iwould like to take a little more of your spaceregarding this R. R.; it might prove of inter-est to the stockholders between here and they o r t _Over two years ago the company wasorganized, the capitol stock $aiti,000 par val-ue stock $25.00. At a meeting at Hogans-burg, stock to the amount of $21,000, wastaken, parties along the route taking whatthey could, and Judge Foster taking what wasleft, afterwards other stock was subscribedfor, tbe total being $23,000 to $23,000 worth;of this amount Massena took over $11,000,Fort Covington we believe about $400. Whendirectors were elected, at Judge Foster^ re-queet, four were taken from the Fort, twoeach from Bombay and Hogansburg and fourfrom Massena. Judge Foster at large. Weacquiesced to this injustice knowing we couldnot build the R, R. ourselves and thinking asthe Judge and his backing were going*fc>bulk! it, he Bhould have the say. Ground,was brokeu Nov. 1884 at Bombay, Hogan*-burg and Massena and work was carried onas long as the weather would permit; at Bom-bay, ibelieve they worked in the swamps allwinter. In the spring we started again; Ho-gansburg was told to wait After we hadgraded to the Philips farm we were told tostop, then camo the contention over changingthe line from Hogansburg to Helena, our di-rectors sided with HogauHburg. The Judgehaving tbe deciding vote cast it in favor ofHelena. Although wo thought that Ho^aus-burg had not been treated fairly in the mat-ter, we joined in with the majority and didwhat we could to make tho R. R. a^uccew onthe new route; this controversy lost us aboutthree months. We were early driven fromonr work by the wet weather.' At the annu-al election 1886 the same directors and officerswera ohonen excepting Hogawtburg, two be-ing for Helena hi tl»«ir plium We were toldevHrytiiliig « P thriving iWan tiafly rusu!rij&=tioii of work in the spring, hut to reportewere submitted. No work was clone in 188Q,excepting some "Bees" held by the Bombaypeople, who graded about half a mile. Allsummer we have been fed by promises «ndrumors. Before our last annual meeting oneof our stockholders here wrote Judge Fostertelling him we wanted matters better adjust-ed in the boaiti of directors, that we wantedsome of the directors at the Fort given to oth-er points, that their representation was entire-ly too large for the amount of stock subscrib-ed, vie: four directors for four hundred dol-lars. We also wrote that we should want re-ports, at the meeting, from the president,treasurer ami engineer. We wanted to knowhow much stockhad been subscribed for? howmuch paid for? how much money had beenexpended and for what! and how much in-debtedness there we»i Our object in makingthese enquiries was to find out the actual con-dition of the company, (we had never had areport since organisation,) and to find outwho tho stockholders wero and how muchthey had paid in. We had heait1 that onesubscriber to four hundred and five shares hadgiven his check to the treasurer to pay theten per cent thus enabling the treasurer tocertify that it had been paid in, but that thecheck had never been presented or paid, asthis was an important point we wanted toknow of i t At the meeting Judge Fostergave us one of his verbose speeches, the sumand substance of which was to stand by himand to elect the same directors. We didget from him though, that the indebtednessagainst the road was over $43,000. Thei-ewere no reports made. - The treasurer, (not astockholder) making a speech also, telling uswhat to do. but saying he could not make areport for lack of material. Our Massenafriends left the meeting in disgust, refusingto vote, and the meeting finished up the farceby dropping one of our directors and electing•one from Helena in his place. From what wecould make out the condition of the road isas follows: Debt against the road over $43,-000. Assets, about fifteen miles of gradingmostly on other people's land, total assetsunder $20,000. As the entire road could begraded (not including culverts and bridges)for $20,000, and the right of way secured forless than $21,000, it looks to us as though therehad been very bad management to put itmildly. We are very much disappointed inall this. We wanted the/oad badly and werewilling to devote our time and money to i tAs it 5 now we look on the road as insolventand think we have heard the last of i t Wehave lost all confidence in Judge Foster andthink he ha? no money himself nor has thebacking of which he brags no much. I hopeI may prove wrong in the matter, but in themeantime must sign myself as a
