Company, resulted in the election of the follow
ing named gentlemen rs Directors

there was no division in the ballot except for one
Of the Directors The stockholders Fixed the
number OF Directors at nine, but elected only five
at this time, awaiting further subscriptions to the

held their first meeting in the evening, organized
by electing John A. Page as President pro

and appointed committees to canvass thoroughly
the towns on the line Of the road and vicinity for

be done If men who ought to contribute, and can
do it, fail to do il.

This is tho title Of new monthly published by

opened its well printed pages to inspect the con-

BRILLIANr AuRoRAL DISPLAY. - Those who
were out Of doors on Monday morning last, be-
tween five and six O'Clock, could not have failed
to have their attention attracted by display Of
what are commonly called " Northern Lights " Of
marvellous beauty. Streams Of light, constantly
varying in intensity and position, assembled to a
point somewhat south of the zenith and there con-
yerging from every side, presented the appearance
of glorious tentlike canopy Of chaugeful bright
ness.
The varied colorings Of the shooting light-pen-
ellis were yet more interesting than the unusual
form they took. They passed from white through
pink, to crimson, and even almost to purple, as
dark patches Of clouds were blown by the strong
wind across their pathway, while the white snow
npon the field received from them a strange, red
dish tint.
Fading away from the zenith, the colorcd rays
fingered longer in the north, the swilthying clouds
NOW concealing them, and now opening to reveal
them-making their glory more glorious by
change and contrast, till the dawning sun over
powered them.
