THE VERMONT DIVISION oF THE PORTLAND
AND OGDENsBURG RAILROAD. - Cargoes of
wheat are now being shipped direct from Du-
lutb, via the lakes and the Welland canal, to
Ogdensburg, N. Y, and thence by rail to the
various Atlantic ports for shipment to Europe
The advantages of this northern route, IN time
and distance, over any other line built or pro-
jected, gives special importance aud value to
all eastern roads terminating at Ogdensburg
as it assures to them an immense increase of
their through business. This fact alone as
sures the most promising future to that New
England trunk line-the Portland and Osdens-
burg-waich is rapidly pushing its way from
the ocean to the lakes. Another season, these
two cities-Portland, with tie best harpor on
the Atlantic, and Ogdensburg. the key to the
immense traffic of the West and Northwest
will be united BY a continuous line Of rail.
The saving of more than fifty miles in distance
over any other line-t6e superior advantages
possessed by Portland for the storage and ship.
meht of grain and produce-guarantees to this
new trunk line its full share of the immense
traffic which is sure to seek the shortest and
quickest route across the continent
Add to this the local business which must
necessarily flow to q line crossing that portion
of New England the richest in agricultural re-
sources and manufacturing facilities, and the
pleasure travel which most always be attract
ed to route more fortunate than any other in
the eastern States in the charms of its unrival-
ed scenery, and the sure and brilliant success
OF this New England enterprise can easily be
seen. Such a trunk line, whose geographical
position places it beyond the reach OF success
full competition, cannot but prove one of the
most profitable in the country.
Given railroad with a business created,
and only waiting its completion sufficient to
tax its transportation capacities to the utmost,
and you need not the inducement of an extrsv-
agaut rate of interest to make its securities
among the most popular in the market. 1t is
this which has created the demand for the
bonds OF the Vermont division OF the Portland
and Ogdensburg railroad. The loan is being
rapidly absorbed by our most conservative 10.
vestigators; and in spite of the recent stringen-
cy in the money market the sale of the bonds
has been more rapid the past two weeks than
any previous fortnight since they were Offered
to the public.-Ne,o York Paper.

To the Editor Of the Press:
In your notice to-day, of the principal in
cidents in the life of Gen. Anderson, who died
last week in France. you omit to mention that
he was for a time stationed at Portland.
'Major" Anderson, which was his rank at
the time, had charge of the military defences
of Portland for two or three years, commenc-
ing about 1S45. His headquarters were at
Fort Prebe, where he with his family kept
house, having one company of United States
troops under his command.
He will be iecollected with pleasure by many
of your citizens as pleasant, unassuming
gentleman, walking little stiff from a wound
in his shoulder, by musket bali received in
the Mexican war, and which had not been ex-
tracted. RI. -.se.
He was a constant worshipper at old ST.
Stephens, on Pearl street, in good weather,
coming up in his barge, or in his carriage with
his wife. He not only went to church himself,
but he required his soldiers in charge of the
Orderly Sergeant to attend in the morning,
having seats assigned them in the gallery al
ways attracting notice by their attention and
neat appearance. w. G.

yet. The trick drum solo Of Miss Annie Mar

Leopar Brothers and the double song and
dance by Hart and Richmond are worthy OF
especial mention. The dog Fanny illustrates
TO great degree how far the training of dumb
