byS. d. Brown, Esq. Bangor, like all our
other large places. has suffered FROM the late
eommercial revul.ion. and We learned from

business
In thi. city residc some Of the mos,

The projee, Tor a railroad to the ArOO.-

the people Of Bangor.

Importance to Bangor. IL will, by the in.

increased.
There Is much in the Bangor people we
