er's brothers, Boston, have just issued new
and revised edition of Stanford and Merton
book which years ago was the most popular
juvenile work extant. We well remember
that In our younger days We seized and read
the hook with ayidity; and it went the rounds
from boy to boy and girl to girl until the vol.
ume was so thoroughly used up, by its circu-
lation through large school, that it fell to
pieces, We had supposed we should never
see another copy, but here Is one fresh and
new, handsomely printed and beautifully illus
trated. Put it into the hands of the bows and
girls; they will seize it as treasure. The
principles inculcated in the volume will sink
deep into their hearts and do them lasting
good, while their minds will be greatly in.
teFested in the charming stories and histories

20. have made some changes In regard to con-
ductors upon their long trains. The Portland
trains are now run by three Conductors,
Messrs. E. A. Towle, B. II. Cram and Geo.
Bachelor, who win each make four round
trips per week between Bosten and Portland.
Mr.. Geo. West runs the second Portsmouth
(9.10) train, and Mr.. johnson, runs the New
buryport train, succeeding Mr.. Skinner, who
goes to Boston to take charge Of the Station,
&c, in that city. Mr.. Hatch, the former Sta
ton Agent, is to run the Amesbury trains.
The Portland trains over this road are now
run in great degree as express trains, thus
obviating the necessity of numerous stoppages,
as in former times. For example, these trains
do not stop between Portsmouth and New
buryport, except at Hampton for water, unless
they have passengers taken east of Eliot; and
this rule applies to signal stations on the road.
The through passenger traffic on this road has
largely increased of late, and the public seem
to appreciate the express train over the East
ern, when compared with the innumerable
stoppages one is compelled to endure on the
Boston & Maine.

they directed him as to where he could obtain
lodgings, and went another way.
