THE CDrRAL.-Neyer since the construction Of
the Central nilr0ad has it suffered as in the late
treshets. The cars are now running over some
four or FIVE miles Of trestle work, where the road
bed has been washed away. The trains now make
their through trips with the exception Of carry
ing by at the Ridley bridge. About $50 men are
now at work on this bridge, and it is expected
that it will be ready for the cars to run over by
tomorrow. Timber enough to build two bridges
has been washed away since the freshet of two
weeks ago. The water Is now fourteen feet deep.
and the current runs swift, Notwithstanding it has
fallen about ten feet since Thursday The body
OF Mr. Charles Ordway, who was drowned on
Wednesday in endeayoring to cross the river at
kidley's bridge was recovered on Friday some
ten miles below, at the "checkered house" in
Richmond, deeply mbedded in the sand. Mr..
ordway had been in the employ Of the Central
road about three years was "a years old, and re-,
sided in Chelsea

Ex-Governor Page.

The Free Press says a trusty servant leaves the
public service Of the State, in the retirement Of
Governor Page. For nine years important inter
ests OF the State have been under his charge As
State Treasurer, he administered with marked
ability and fidelity that most important Office
through all its large operations during the war,
and following its close As Governor, he has had
the welfare of the State deeply at heart, and has
served it with capable and faithful service. The
closing act Of his administration, the submission
OF The Fifteenth Amendment, connects his name
ana ms honor, with that great measure Of national
Justice; and his is a clear and honorable record
in the annals Of the State.

20 Hon. STEPHEN THOMAS, the retiring Lieut..
Governor, closed his official connection with the
State on Saturday last and it is gratifying 10
know that he takes with him, in his retirement
rom Office, the most cordial friendship and good
will OF all with whom he has been associated.
His strict integrity of purpose frankness and mr..
hanity, which have ever characterized him in all
ms relations in life, won for him the universal
respect Of the intelligent body over which it has
been his duty 10 preside the past two sessions of
the Legislature, and the respectful esteem so gem
erously manifested towards him by Senators and
all others with whom he came in contact, must
be lasting source Of qualification to him. in
whatever sphere of duty his after life may call
him to act.
