Letter from Bird gton.
BRIDGTON, Feb, 21. 1870

bRIDGToN, Feb. 21, 1870.
Mr.. EDITORIALS we have no local paper of
our own, and so many copies of the Press are
taken by our citizens, take the liberty to ask
an insertion of these few lines in order to bring
the attention of our business men to the fact,
that there exists route through a nearly lev
ell valley, almost in direct line, for a team
road or for railroad even, to the Portland
and Ogdensburg Railroad at Hiram Bridge;
shorter by some miles than by any other route.
The contemplated depot at Hiram Bridge
being four or five miles nearer Portland than
we are shows at once that it would be folly for
us to seek conneXion with the railroad at
any point more distant from us, and at a
greater distance from your city.
have been led to look at this project with
some interest, from having made an examin-
alton in company with some friends, who had
learned from engineers of the Portland and
Ogdensburg Railroad, that such route did
exist.
We have been so long in the habit of wind
ing around and climbing over Tear Gap and
other large hills to reach Hiram, that but few
of us ever thought that more direct or level
route existed. From our observations we judg-
ed the distance to be ten or eleven miles from
Bridgton Centre to Hiram Bridge; but as 1
now learn that a surveyor and chairman are
about to make the survey to obtain positive
data, will say no more at present.

A Cushing Viciimizer.

Bat a short time ago, on one of those love-
ly days which had graced the present winter,
a young lady in rich and elegant dress, and
with gems flashing from her ears and her fin
gers, arrived in this city. There was a soft
and pensive grace and cast of thought upon
her face, but to one versed in physiognomy
there was to be seen hidden beneath all this a
deep and artful cunning. She had all the ap-
pearance OF being the representative of much
wealth. She came here, as she stated, to
await the arrival OF an aunt, vino was shortly
expected, and who was coming on purpose to
make some large investments in real estate
in which she was to be interested in counec-
ton with her brother who was to accompany
the aunt.
She wanted to engage rooms in a private
and fashionable boarding house, and for that
purpcse made the round of the most arlsto-
cratic houses of this character, until she final
lv Selected one upon Fourth street. By way
of recommendation TO her landlady, she made
The above statement regarding her visit to this
citv. and also exhibited several letters pur-
norting to be from influential families of the
highest standing in ST. Louis. This appeared
to satisfy the unsuspicious landady, and she
at once assigned the young lady to the best
room in the house, which had all the conven-
fences essentially necessary for even the most
tender plant of the aristocratic shoot.
The young lady, who was exceedingly fas-
cinating, could not but attract the young
men of the house-dapper clerks, statesmen In
wholesale houses, book-keepers, and such as
usually seek genteel society in houses Of this
character. She soon became acquainted with
all, and, of course, with her accomplishments,
a great favorte in the house.
She had In addition to her varied accom-
pishments, a beautiful contralto voice, and
"warbed at eventide" so sweetly her wild
wood notes that there was no resisting her
One Of the enraptured young men declared
that she sung with the sweetness of the morn
ing lark. She was perfect Circe in her fas-
cinating manners, and her brilliant converse
ton, piquant airs, and silvery laugh, soon
made captive every heart.

Hints 10 Ga. Consumer.

Almost everybody hereabouts uses gas, and
almost everybody makes complaint in one
way or another, either concerning the quality,
the quantity, the price, or something else
The following advice may be advantageously
followed by those who use the Illuminating
vapor:
l. If your burners are of common fish-tail
or bat wing form, you will obsel We in the CEN
ter OF the blaze dark spot of unconsumed
gas; If you see this dark shadow extend to
the top of the blaze, then there is more gas
rushing through unconsumed than what is
really giving light. Turn down the Gas until
the shadow is half an inch from the circum-
frence Of the blaze, and you will have stead
ier, better light, and will burn all the gas reg
lstered in the meter, but neglect this rule, and
the meter will register twice as fast under The
pressure, and you will pay for gas you do not
burn.
2. At a certain hour of the night when
churches and halls, and stores, turn off their
gas, the pressure is increased all over that dis
trict OF the city; watch your burners, and re-
duce the pressure once more.
B. 1t you have burners in chambers aud in
the kitchen, and in your servants rooms, in
stead OF regulating the pressure at the burn
ers, take the trouble to regulate it at the me-
ter SO as to allow each burner only so much
blaze at certain hour, even II the burners
are turned on full blast.
A. Don't think it too much trouble to turn
off the gas every night at the meter, as this
stops leakages all over the house between the
meters and the burners. More gas is paid for
which is lost by leakage than regular consump-
ton.

GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN had a rare ex-

out OF the ladies' room at the depot, for which
insult he refused to let the New Londoners

out. Music and dance and cards alterna.alSe
and so the time passed along most entranc,'
ingly.
All the men were in love with her. and one
late partner in wholesale house. was on
the point of making declaration to her. when
the sunshine which had so brilliantly entered
the house with the handsome young lady ali
at once became darkened, and he was lifted
from his air castles down to terra frma with
a most lugubrious countenance.
1t was on the morning of dark and dis
NAL day when the boarders arose and ascer-
tanned that their money and valuables had
taken wings unto themselves and
Gone where the woodbine twineth.
Even the landlady wept over the loss of a
splendid diamond mounted gold watch.
But the dashing and prepossessing beauty
tnat mad made so much music in the house,
what of her? She certainly must have suf-
,ered IN common with the others. The land
lady, desiring to ascertain the fact, flew to her
room, ana shocking at the door, received no
answer. Again she knocked, and again no
response. A faint suspicion began to creep
INTO her mind, and as the suspicion grew, the
more nervous she became and the louder she
knocked, until finally she was satisfied there
was no living person in the room. A step
ladder was then procured, and a peep over
tne transom dlvulged the fact that the fascin-
ating maiden had fled, and with her had dis
appeared all her trunks.
The solution of the robbery was too palua-
BILE; but it had been such chef d9urre. SO
skillfully devised and so adroitly carried out.
and was such complete exhibition of their
verdancy, that they concluded rather than
run the battery of fun that would inevitably
be fired at them in being so completely done
for by one they had learned to love, that it
was agreed to preserve solemn silence on the
subject.
The young man who bad so gushingy COM
pared her notes to those of the morning lark,
was now more convinced than ever of the
truth OF his assertion-for her mischieyous
freak OF appropriating the property of others
on morning lark struck him very sensibly,
as he was minus his timepiece and sundry
bank bills with which he had expected to
liquidate claim that morning.
Every effort was made to keep the affair a
secret, but it finally leaked out, and coming to
the ear OF our reporter, we concluded to make
mention of it in hopes that it might prove a
warning to landladies with overweening con-
hdence and young men with susceptible
hearts.
OF course the reader will perceive that the
irresistible young lady had an outside confed-
crate operating with her.-Cincinnati Times.
