SLEEPING CAR.-The second sleeping
ar, Hslr series, manufactured by the Vt.
eniral Railroad Co, at this place, has
just been put upon the Montreal and
New York Line between st. Adams and
'lringield Mass The evidences Of
lragress are nowhere more plainly to be
seen than in the improvements which
lave recently been made by the Yer
mont Central in their ears. For the
uuvenienee, easeand comfort ofpassen-
gers, beauty of construction and finish,
would seem that there are no further
Improvements possible to be made.
