Vanceboro' and east from Mattawamkeag.-
Fully thirty miles of the So between VIM aud
Vanceboro' are already laid, and the chief en-
gineer reports that all can be laid by August
10th. The Governor of New Brunswick has
been notified of the promised visit of President
Grant on the occasion of the formal opening of
the road, October 18th, and assures most en-
thusiastic reception from officials and people
of all the maritime Provinces. The occasion
will be marked one in the history of the
PROVINCES, and will give rise to universal fes-
tivities and rejoicing that at last the long
needed railway connection with "the States
is completed. Bangor will not be behind hand
in celebrating the occasion. The beneficial re-
suits to our city arising from the completion of
this great line will be manifold. The CONNER
cial Importance of the event, coupled with the
presnce of the President of the United States
will cause general jubilee here, and along
the line of the road. The business of the road
is increasing remarkably, and the through
traffic after completion bids fair to exceed the
expectations of the directors The bonds of
company met with rapid sales and the larger
part of the entire issue is already sold No
more perfect Y safe and desirable securities
cannot be obtained than these, and the large
sales prove this to be the general opinion of
cautious investors. When the remaining bal.
ence is sold, none can be purchased except
