OXFORD COUNTY.
We learn from the Androscoggin Herald
that the Superintendent of tle Portland and
Oxford Centia Railroad gives notice by order
of vote of the bond holders and stockholders
at meeting held April 21st, that trains will
be run for only sixty days from April 22d, for
the transportation of freight and passengers.
After sixty days the iron is to be taken up and
the trains run only for its transportation. All
of the property OF the road is TO be disposed of
and the road forever ended. As towns have
declined to loan their credit and individuals
refused to aid in the building and extension of
the road from Canton to Portland, the compa-
ny are unwilling to take upon themselves the
burden of sustaining the road longer.
We learn from the Oxford Democrat that it

height, with a cap upon which will rest a

ument IS to 20 feet in height. On the four
sides of the main die, marble tablets will be
inserted, with the names of the immortal
dead inscribed. On each side of the shaft
some military emblems will be carved.
