BOATS AND CARS LOADED WITH LIVE Gteat Excitement in St. Albans. MOVEMENTS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY All was rumor and uncertainty, (the Fenians themselves being Very reticent as to what was on foot) till evening, when it became plain that an expedition of some sort was in progress. The 6.20 train for the North took a car load and a half of Irishmen, mostly young men, from Burlington. The steamer Adirondack on her arrival from the South, reported a large number of Fe nians, set at about 300, awaiting transportation at Port Henry, N.

T. At 8 o'clock, the little steamer Curlew arrived from Port Henry Captain Monahan, and a company of some one hundred men from Port Henry. These had expected to reach here in time for the 6.20 train north they brought with them several barrels and boxes understood to contain provisions. The Curlew returned to Port Henry and will bring, it is said, all she can in the course of the night, in season to take the 4 o'clock train this morn ing. We despatched a reporter to St.

Albans last found the same state of excitement there, with' a general expectation on the part of the citizens of a renewal of the scenes of the great Fenian raid of four years ago. Parties from Fairfield reported the Irishmen there all oa the qui vive, and some movement evidently on foot. The Vermont Central managers received dis' patches from Boston yesterday, inquiring on what terms they would carry a thousand men from Boston over their road to-day, and have also, as we hear, been notified to provide cars for an unusual number of passengers to-night. Evidently the Fenians are moving. Where they are going, and whether the demonstration in this region is in earnest, or a feint to drsw the Canadian troops from other quarters, remains to be seen.

There is this difference between the present movement and the former one, that now the Fenians keep their own counsel as far as possible, and that this time their arms are on the border before them. Thjt there are secret depots of Fenian arms and ammunition at Fairfield and otter points near the line, is no secret. We have heard the quantity get by a party in a position to have accurate information, as high as 20,000 stand of muskets and carbines, together with at least one battery of light artillery. On the other hand the preparations to receive them in Canada are unquestionably much mere formidable than on the occasion of the former raid. We learn from Canada that the militia received orders on Saturday night to hold themselves in readiness for immediate service, and they are probable under arms again before this.

To-day will doubtless develop the proportions of the whole affair, concerning which we shall keep our readers fully posted. By Telegraph to the Free Press and Times. The Fenians. Buffalo, May 23. GREAT ACTIVITY AMONG THEM ABBIVALS AND DEPARTURES.

There has been great activity among the Fenian Brotherhood in the city during the last 48 hours. It is impossible to get any trustworthy particulars. That the men are in earnest there is no doubt. The leaders are very reticent. A movement is on foot of some kind tonight, but whether it is an invasion of the neighboring frontier or to aid Riel in the Red River, is a question.

Large bodies of drilled veterans left here to-right but their destination is unknown. 10.30 p.m. The city is full of Fenians quartered quietly among their friends in every part of the town. Everything quiet and no indication of further movement of troops to-night. Ey Telegraph to the Free Press and Times Another Detachment, Auburn, N.

May 23. Forty Fenians left here this evening in two detachments. Though they went east their destination is supposed to be Minnesota. The officers preserved the utmost secrecy as to their destination, and the men professed to be in total ignorance. Aost of the company were in the volunteer service during the late war.

Arms and equipments of the company were forwarded to some point west some days since. Rutland has been considerably stirred up over the question of a site for a new Graded School building. trustees of the Graded School district recommended at a meeting held last week, the purchase of the old Franklin House lot, on Main street for the pur pose, price $7,000. A good deal of opposition was shown to this decision, some favoring another lot, and some desiring a postponement of the whole subject. Gov.

Page offered to give a lot and $2,000. John Cain arose and addressed the chair, but was called to order by Mr. Page, who insisted that Mr. Cain not being a voter in the district, had no right to speak. A heated discussion ensued, and the meeting broke up suddenly without settling anything on the subject.

The Caugnnawvga Canal, THE SUBJECT CONSIDERED BEFORE A SPECIAL MEETING OF TUB BOSTOS BOARD TRADE. The Boston papers of Saturday contain the proceedings of a Board of Trade meeting, held on Friday, "to consider among other things, the proposed ship canal to connect Lake Cham-plain with the St. Lawrence.

TBI APPROPRIATION BILL. The pending amendment, placing women under compensation on the same footing with men, was modified by adding to it the provision author iiing the heads of departments to appoint feminine clerks in any of the classes of clerkships in me uepirimems. Senator Morton said the amendment would substantially give first class clerkships at $1200 to ladies now receiving $900. Senator Sherman addressed the Senate upon the general subject of appropriations. Senator Casserly followed in support of h's previous position against the renewal of the income tax.

THE POLAR EXPEDITION. A CLOSE VOTK. The bill was then proceeded with, and several 1 amendments were adopted, among others one by Senator Sumner authorizing the President to send out one or more expeditions to the North Pole, to appoint such person or persons as he may deem most fitted for the command thereof, to use any public vessel suited for the purpose, and appropriating one hundred thousand dollars to be expended under the President's direction.

The oath was then administered to Mr. News ham.

The House again went into committee on the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill. On motion of Mr. Maynard the appropriation for a minister resident to Liberia was increased from $4,000 to $7,500. Mr. Dawes argued against it as an amendment apparently prompted by the same motive that prompted the amendment for the mission to Rome, and moved that the paragraph be struck out, leaving the matter to be fixed by the senate.

The paragraph was struck out after a long discussion. WASHINGTON NEWS. Washington, May 23. The President to-day transmitted to the Sen ate the correspondence in reply to a resolution calling for information as to the passage of any English or Canadian steamer through the Canal Sault Ste. Marie.

KIMBALb 00 1. Jaa.l0-4diy the wheat and pasture region that lies to the west of Lakes Michigan and Superior. During the last quarter of a century: the Canadians have greatly improved the navigation of the St. uttawa ana Niagara rivers, in ancient times no vessels tsf" more than, three hundred tons could ascend the Sr. Liwrence to Montreal, but by deepening the channel at va rious points magnificent ships of the Allen Line, or z.ouu tons, now iana ana ioaa ineir cargoes at Montreal, which last year nearly doubled its shipments of breadstuffs, exporting in fact about ten millions of bushels.

Above Montreal, on the St." Lawrence and the Ottawa, are a succession of basins and rapids which have been overcome by a series of locks and ship canals, connecting basin with basin and allowing the passage of steamships of 600 tons, fully laden. Around the Falls of Niagara the Canadians built long since the Welland Canal, of nearly twice the capacity of the enlarged Erie Canal and of size sufficient to permit the passage of vessels of 450 tons. Above the Welland, which will be enlarged for vessels of 800 tons, or four times the size of the Erie Canal boats, there is a clear course to the Sault Ste. Marie, the outlet of Lake Superior, and here a noble ship canal and locks allow the passage of vessels of a thousand tons to the new port of Duluth, From Duluth direct lines of railway are to be opened this summer, connecting Lake Superior with St Paul and the Red River of the North, which connects with 1,500 miles of inland navigation. St.

Paul is the depot of a vast region in Minnesota, Dakota and Iowa, abounding in lumber and having close connections with the North Pacifio Railway, and a line is in progress that will form the shortest route between the Union Pacific Railway and the navigable waters of the lakes. We may reasonably expect that most of the heavy freight between the two Jf acinc railways and Massachusetts Bay will take this route, and that it will be one of the chief outlets for the grain and cattle trade of the West. The Caughnawaga Canal, on it way from Lake Champlain to the St. Lawrence, will have two outlets the one in Lake St Louis, opposite the Ottawa the other 11 (he Beauharnois Uanal, which connects two of the St. Lawrence lakes, St Louis and St Francis.

It will carry the waters of Lake St Francis into the outlet of Lake Champlain, through which they will again fall into the St. Lawrence, between Montreal and Quebec, and will command the timber trade of Canada, which now exports lumber to the amountof $18,000,000 annually nearly two million tons of wood in the forms of boards, plants and timber. While our pine lumber is almost exhausted, that of Canada seems inexhaustible. It is estimated that there are three hundred thousand square miles of pine forest in Canada, most of it still untouched. With a width of 200 feet, connecting with wide rivers and lakes, accessible to vessels of four times the size of the boats used on the Erie, the proposed canal requires no transshipment and allows speed for most of the distance.

It can never be crowded, and its lakes and rivers permit the free passage of vessels, and could carry, if it were requisite, twenty or thirty millions of 01 ions, or mice me aggregate auiouni now transported by the Erie Canal and Central and Erie Railways. As regards cost, the cheapest transportation is on long voyages on the open sea, and the cost of transit increases as the length of run and the size of the passageway diminish. The length of lake and river navigation and shape of Lake Champlain once navigated by birch canoes, and itself a wide and placid ship canal, gives this route great for Canadian and Western trade. Mr. Underwood read a letter dated Peekskill, May 14, 1870, addressed to himself, and signed by Mr.

J. B. Mills, which was a reply to suggestions that the estimate of the cost of the Caughnawaga Canal be so modified as to contemplate the same to be 150 feet wide at top, and 110 at bottom also to increase the length ot the locks 100 feet, making the same 300 feet in length. Mr, Mills had made no approximate estimate of such modifications, and represented them mbu'k without detail. The enlargement of the prism of the canal and the lengthening of the locks would cost, added to the former estimates for a canal 80 feet wide at the bottom and the locks 200 feet long, $2,574,729.

Such a cannl and locks as suggested would well accommodate a vessel of 1,000 tons cargo. Mr. John Young, President of the Board of Trade of Montreal, also spoke upon the subject ofihfe-Caushnawaea Canal. He was in favor of such channels for transportation, and impressed upon the consideration of the Board that pro-- position. Hon.

Walter Shanley, of Canada, whose name is familiar from his connection with the Hoosac Tunnel, favored the proposed line of transportation. The Erie Canal, he said, had about reached the limit of its utility. Oa motion of His Honor Mayor Shurtleff, the following resolution was passed by the Board Resolved, That the thanks of the Board are hereby tendered to the Hon. Levi Underwood, the Hon. John Young and the Hon.

Walter Shanley, for the very interesting statements made by them on this occasion in reference to the proposed very important connection which is to be effected between Lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence river by the Caughnawaga Canal. Address 11. V. Pierce, M.

A company of between 50 and 100 arrived on the early morning train from the south, aid to have come from the vicinity of Fort Edward. They were orderly, and had an air of business about them, holding conversation with no one outside their own company. Many of them had seen active service. The company that arrived in the Cur- lew last night, left on the 4 o'clock train this morning. They were met at Essex Junction by a company of not far frcra one hundred that came up on the Central.

All sorts of rumors are afloat about the number to in over the Central and Rutland roads this afternoon. It is evident that the Fenians themselves are expect ing a good many on these trains. The following items of Fenian intelligence are telegraphed from different parts Fifty men are to leave Providence, Monday evening for St. Albans, to take part in the forward movement. There is some activity among the Boston Fenians.

Gen. O'Niell was expected at Chicago, Mon day to make that city his headquarters he is expected to complete the arrangements already nearly matured for sending a force to aid Reill against the British expedition now on its way to the Red River country. It is evident that O'Neill is engaged in the organization of a large force with the object of operating on the border, but the reticence of those engaged in the work prevents much being known concerning it. A force of one thousand men, it is reported, is coming from California, under Colonels Smith and Walsh of that State. uentiemen from some ot the back towns re port some movement of Fenians through in wagons they are brought from the southwards and passed on north by relays.

Perhaps a hundred came in on the Rutland train and went on northward this morning and it is said that two or three thousand will pass through to-night. All manner of rumors are auoat, many or them probably without much foundation.

II, S. Whitcomb was elected Assistant Cashier a ad Wm. Hazcn, Teller. Mr. Whitcomb has been a good while in the Bank, and we are glad to note his promotion.

Mr. Hazen, -while in the Post-office and in Wires Insurance office made himself many friends, and will, no doubt, prove an acquisition in the counting root a of the Bank. A bill was introduced in the House of Repre sentatives on Monday, authorizing the First National BaaV of Burlington to change its name and location, and it appears that the proposal is to remove the Bank to Rutland, and call it the "First National Bank of Katland." Offers to buy a considerable amount of the Stock were made last week; it was supposed looking to a change in the Directors, but the two things may belong together. Sen de Death. Mrs.

Joseph, on the 18th of conges tion of the brain. He was ia the employ of the firm cf Perley Bagley, wholesale hardware dealers of that city. He had but recently arrived in the city, and was known to but few. He fell on the street in a fit; the physician was sent for, and he at once had him sent to the hospital, where he expired in about two hours. The first intimation his brother-in-law, Mr.

James M. Bagley, had of the affair, was when a card was handed him, by the Sisters, asking if he knew such a man, and conveying the startling intelli gence of his death. Mr. Herrick was a native of Morristown, and was forty-two years of age, He came te Burlington early in life and was for sometime a book keeper for the old firm of J. J.

H. Peck and afterwards was engaged in the West India goods trade as a partner in the firm of Herrick Miles on the corner of King and Water streets; in the store now occupied by McWilliams Brothers. He had good capacity and tact for business and was quite popular in this community. After leaving Burlington he was employed by the Providence Railroad Com pany until declining health compelled him to seek a new sphere of action, so he removed to the West. His wife, a most estimable lady, rived in St.

Joseph only to see the corpse of him she loved and his brother, who resides in Polo, Illinois, reached there just in time to follow his remains to the grave. Mr. Herrick was a member of Washington Lodge, No. 3. and Burlington Chapter No, 3 and Burlington Commandery, No.

Joseph Morning Herald of the 17th The remains of Mr. Charles R. Herrick. who died in this city on Friday last, were interred with a very imposing Masonic display. Mr.

Herrick was a comparative stranger here, but his Masonic brethren, recognizing the univer sality of their brotherhood, bestowed on his re mains all the honors they could have done to a citizen acid brother born and reared in their midst. ne was buried by Zeredatha Lodge No. 189- assisted by St. Joseph Lodge No. 78 and Charity Lodge U.

Bagley, on Messanie, between Fourth and Fifth streets, where Elder J. W. Lindsay delivered a touching oration, over the remains, aa they lay in state. Thence the procession, as before enumerated, with the and mourners following, marched up Fourth street to Felix, out Felix to Frederick avenue, and oat the avenue to the cemetery. Ihe usual solemn and impressive ritual of the Masonic order was gone through at the grave, conducted by Elder Lindsay, acting W.

in a very affecting and able manner; when Sir Knight C. A. Rowley, acting E. Commander, appropriately addressed the Fraternity and audience upon the nature and design of the honors paid the desceased as a member of the Masonic Fraternity, and the clods of the valley were laid upon the mortal part of Charles R. Herrick.

The demonstration was ante honorable to the deceased and creditable to the Masonic order. KURLI.VGTOW. TUESDAY EVENING. MAT 24, 1870 BCHLINGTOSASUTICISITT. Richmond Birrraa Maeket.

A New IIioh School Building. The School Commissioners having, wisely as we think, re considered their former action, and the Board of Aldermen haviaz concurred with them in the adoption of the old Academy lot on College street, as the site of the new high school build, log, that mittcr is at last in a shape to go for ward. The Board of School Commissioners ac cordingly appointed at their last meeting, building committee, consisting of Commissioners Ltwrence, Fransis anl Clark, and we expect soon to see a commencement mJe by the removal of the old building which has so long been an eye sore on College street I.kcturs this Evening. We call attention to Prof. Taveraer's announcement of a lecture this evening in the vestry of the College Street Church.

We have only space to say that the Professor is a cultivated gentleman and an ac complished elocutionist, and that his lecture can not fail to be of high interest and value, while the readings that accompany it will be well worth bearing. These will include the grave diggers scene in Hamlet Sim Weller's other choice selections. Prof T. deliver ed this lecture a few days since in St. Albans, and the Messenger said of it, in the course of an extended commendatory notice It was the testimony even of professional gentlemen who were present that they never before realised how important a part of oratory it (gesture) was.

So easy of understanding had he made the principles that a false gesture was detected in an instant, and there is hardly a ten years old school boy in town, who had he been present4 would not to-day be able to express any sentiment or passion, be it grave or gay, ridiculous or sublime, persuasive or repulsive, stormy or quiet, with its appropriate gesture. Firs Meetisq at Winooski. On Saturday evening last a village meeting was held to see what could be done toward providing the mean3 of protection from fire. A committee consisting of Messrs. Woods, Le-Clair, Lafountain, Barrett and J.

H. Edwards, reported, recommanding laying a ten-inch cement pipe from the reservoir of the Winooski aqueduct company, Gill Brook Pond to the woolen mill, about 6000 feet, there to be connected with the powerful force pumps of the Woolen Company. The expense of this pipe, with sufficient hydrants on Main street, was estimated at about $15,000, of which the Woolen Company agreed to pvy one third including their share of the tax, which is nearly one fourth of the whole village tax the pipe, hydrants, when completed, to be the property of the aqueduct company, and the company were to guarantee to the village the use of the same, together with the force pumps, hose, of the Woolen Company. The committee also recommended the purchase of a brake engine, hose, etc. and the construc tion of three reservoirs in parts of the village remote from hydrants, the expense of which would not fall far short of $3,000.

Upon a motion ta adopt the report, a lively debate ensued. Wm. C. Whiteman, appeared as the leader of the opposition. lie claimed that it was unjust to tax the poor msn to protect the rich man's property, and so eloquently did he argue the question, that the idea seemed to prevail that the laboring men in the Tillage had got to pay the whole bill, although it had been distinctly stated that the Woolen Company was to pay one third of the whole, and it was well known that some six or seven tax-payers would have to pay another third.

He claimed that the rich should provide protection for their property by subscription, and expressed hid willingness to give as much for that purpose as any other man in proportion to his property that was exposed to fire. Mr. Woods did not regard his offar as ft very liberal one, as the speaker was one of the wealthiest men in town, but had only one small house exposed to fire. Mr. Lafountain remark ed that if the speaker had during the last thirty-four years done anything that savored of liberality, he would be glad to hear of it.

Mr. Whiteman replied that he had that day given a poor man a half bushel of potatoes. (Here the speaker's friends mo7e an audible mile, and as potatoes are firm in the Winooski market at 50 cents, the question of liberality seemed settled.) Mr. W. closed by ssying that be was speaking for Come, not for Ctesar." As examples of commendable liberality the fact was alluded to that the firm of Edwards Stevens, and the Flour Mill Company, had each within a short time expended from two to three thousand dollars for water works, and each had extinguished one fire and prevented disastrous conflagrations, within fifteen months past.

This was claiming too much for purely private one of the Oold Okinbukiteers" arose and said that the last fire was controlled by laboring men with pails of water, which was more than half true, -and if the village would pay out their money for a hundred fire buckets, they could put out the fire, yes, they could. It being evident that the sentiment of the meeting was adverse to adopting the report as a whole, one gentleman remarked that the thing would go well enough if them pipes was left out." But as it did not appear whether he re- i ferred to the ten-inoh pipes, or the short pipes and plug-tobacco" that usually abound at such a meeting, the suggestion was not acted upon. Mr. Ballard, remarking that half a loaf was better than no bread, suggested that an engine be procured and five reservoirs be constructed which would furnish suitable protection to property, and would be as well as a village of the size of Winooski could expect or afford. But this idea did not suit the committee, and on a vote being taken, the meet ingwas declared adjourned for two weeks, after which some dissatisfied persons declared that the meeting was not adjourned, and that they would not stay adjourned, and atone time it seemed necessary to have an engine to pat out the meeting, but the solitary lamp was turned down, and night drew her sable eurtain over the stormy Mine.

Thus ended the first meeting..
