1t appears By the Directors report that Ed

grading, stone work. track laying &c., on the
whole line from Wateryille to Carratunk Falls.
He commenced work half a mile east of West
Waterville depot. Three-fourthsof the grading
between there and Norridgewock is now done.
Six miles of the road from Norridgewock to
Madison was sublet to George f. Hitchins of
Portland. Three-fourths of his work is done
and he will probably complete the whole by
the first of SEPTEMBER. Between Anson aud

The Maine Central agrees to lease the road
when completed, paying interest on the cost to
be computed at $4,000 mile. West Somer-
set is fertile farming country and when this
road is completed the Kennebec Valley will
have its resources pretty well developed, and
Norridgewock, Madison, North Anson and
Carratunk Falls will begin to compete with
Showhegan, which, since the advent of the
Kennebec Railroad has made rapid strides in
advance. ..'

LIQUOR LEGISLATION IN MAssAcHUsErrs.-
Massachusetts has restored the severe prohibi-
tory code of 1867, only excepting cider from its
provisions as concession to the rural dis
tricts. The temperance men of that State now
have not only law as stringent as they de-
sire, but a State police to enforce it. One
year OF license has resulted so lamentably that
tne people are glad to flee to prohibition as the
only escape from utter decentralization. Strict
pronibition, when tried before, was partially a
failure, but it was not tried fairly, and the
people were looking forward with confidence
