and two or more hotels. There may yet be
for Wiscasset some awakening to life and
progress for which there is opportunity. We
can but think she will receive some degree of
permanent inspiration by her recent railroad
connection. 1t will be worth considerable to
Augusta and to the Kennebec to form rail
road connection with Wiscasset. The inter-
est of both localities would be promoted there
by; and when the right time comes we judge
that this city will be ready and willing to aid
in the enterprise of building the road to Au-
gusta.
