The Grand Trunk.

To the Editor Of the Press
have recently passed over the entire length
of the Grand Trunk Railway from Portland to
Detroit and back to this city, and observed the
condition of the road very closely. The track
has been largely relaid with new rails, and in
such places is in excellent condition. 1 have
never passed over a better track IN any coun-
try; it is smooth, easy, and almost noiseless I
saw large quantities of new iron ON the road
and scattered along the route, with gangs of
hands at work putting down the rails. When
the entire road shall be renewed, as it win be
soon-it will be in perfect condition.
The road is run with great precision-the
trains making excellent time = and being
punctual in their arrival and departure from
the several stations. The cars are commodious,
clean and co nfortable. observed that the
way travel was large, especially in Canada
West, the cars being generally well filled with
much change Of the company from station 10
station, showing that there was only the ordi-
nary run of business. An important point to
through travellers is the matter of refresh
ments. The eating stations are at regular and
convenient intervals, and are very good, the
prices moderate, and ample time is allowed
for comfortable meal. The amount of freight
offered to the road is only limited by lis means
of transportation. A double track fully equip
ped would find ample and remunerative EN-
ployment. hope the time is not far distant,
when the Company may have the means Of
laying down another line of rails. 1t would
be profitable to the road, most convenient TO
the great region drained by it-and important
to the business of Portland. D.

ART. In Hale'e window may now be seen
two portraits, one of Simeon Barker, of Linn
erick, and the other of his wife. As speci-
mems of portrait painting they are admirable,
and are from the brush of the well known ar
tist Miss Skeele There is also very fine head
of Scotch terrier by Leighton. Some pretty
little land sketches by Miss Malta Beckett,
and two very fine and lifelike photographs by
Smith of Commodore Churchill and Vice
Commodore Smith, of the Portland Yacht
Club, taken in full uniform. The great paint
ing by Mrs. Lilly M. Spencer of " Truth IN
yelling Falsehood," still draws admiring
crowds into the gallery, where other splendid
works of art are to be found on exhibition
We do not know whether it has escaped the
observation of the general public or not, but
the fact is that Mr.. Hale has collected to-
gether in his gallery collection Of paintings
shat, while it may not be SO large As some on
exhibition in Boston and New York, would,
nevertheless, be considered fine display in

DEATH OF E. o. HAILE.-we regret to learn
that dispatch received in this city Last night
from Austin, Texas, announced the death Of
Mr.. #. o. Halle, formerly Of this city. His
age, if we are not mistaken, was about 80 years.
He was journalist of large experience. hav-
ing been connected with the Argus in this city,
and with the press of New Orleans aud Mobile,
both as editor and proprietor. He served an
apprenticeship in the printing business in the
office of the Waterville Mail. He was an init
mate friend of "Artemus Ward" and since
the death of the great humorist has been very
active in his efforts to raise funds for a monu-
ment to his memory. As humorist Mr.. Halle
was favorably known, under the nom de plume
Of "A. Head" both in this country and in
England

The Ants are determined to put forth all thelr

CSEBAao.-ln consequence of the need that
exists for the introduction of water into the
city, and the necessary delay in introducing
the Sebago, owing to the ledge Of rock that has
prolonged unexpectedly the completion of the
conduit to the Lake, the Company have de-
cided to bring in the water from the Presump-
scot, and with that intention sent out yester-
day large boiler, weighing some 5000 pounds,
and double 16 inch pump to force the water
into the pipes The connection between the
river and the pipes will be made this week. In
a few days then the long needed and long de-
sired luxury will be provided. The company
expect to get in the water from Sebago this
tall as good progress is being made towards
completing the conduit.

liquors of any kind for medicinal or mechani-
cal purposes, are informed that the City Agen-
cy is supplied with articles Of excellent quail
ty, selected expressly Tor these purposes. No
liquors win be sold at the Agency except those
purchased of the State Agent, and they can be
relied on as pure and of standard proof, as GER

ny that If there were to be a Presidential cleo
