| "A BUSY TTME.-We mentioned last week
mat the Grand Trunk Railway was taxed to
us utmost extent in transporting freight from.
| canada, In anticipation Of the expiration of
'ne RECIPROCITY Treaty, which expired at mid
| nlSnt on Saturday last. The Company sue
ceeded in getting every loaded car over the
boundary line in season on SATURDAY.. They
would run the cars over the line, turn them
ON to the side tracks and then the engine
would return for more. The yard and sidings
at Island Pond, and all the sidings on the road
from Paris TO Island Pond are crowded with
loaded cars, which viii be brought to this city
with all possible dispatch. ~ D..
A large portion of the produce, &C., thus for
warded is on Canadian account, our neighbors
in that region being determined to take all the
advantage possible from the expiration of the
treaty. 1t remains to'be'seen whether they
were not wise in so doing, and thus saving the
import duty which has now to be paid ur-
on articles imported from Canada. " -.

delssohn Quintette Club of Boston, will give

DEAR SrR:-Referring to the note in this
mornings Press, giving an account of the
breaking and entering of our shop, we crave
room to say that more credit is awarded to us
than we really deserve. 1t was to the vigilance
and active friendship of Mr.. Charles M. Gore,
that we, in common with the community are
indebted for the detection and capture of the
culprits. Yours respectfully. md
