The Railroad excitement and enthusiasm still
continue. The meeting last Tuesday when
Ex-Mayor Ham and Mr.. Jones from Lewiston
were present and addressed the people, was
adjourned on account of the storm, to two
o'clock p. NJ, to-day. The people began to
gather in at an early hour, so before one O'Clock
it was thought proper to call the meeting to
order and proceed to business, as there were
people enough present to fill the spacious hall
of the National House. The meeting was ac-
cordingly called to order at an ly hour
The people continued to come focking in from
every direction, and hundreds came who
could not get into the hall, or any other suita-
BILE place in the village, and were compelled
to assemble in bar rooms and stores while the
meeting was in progress. The'people along
the valley of the Androscoggin river are in
earnest and mean to have railroad from
Lewiston to Rumford Falls. Never before
have we Witnessed such enthusiasm and such
united determination to accomplish any OBJ
iect as is now manifested in this matter. The
meeting meant business and the first of which
was to obtain charter. The subject now be-
fore the Legislature to make general rail-
road act allowing parties to build railroads in
any locality where they have the means and
see fit to build them, was discussed and fully
approved. That is all the people along the
Androscoggin valley ask or desire. If they
can get a charter or law allowing them to
build railroad, they will see that the road 10

gin valley from Lewiston to Rumford Falls,

The locomotive was also appropriately draped
with the insignia of mourning, and bore two
flags at half-mast--one the American, the

At one O'clock, the train moved slowly from
the depot, bearing the distinguished guests
from other States, as well as the body of him
whose memory they had come hither to honor.
