recommends filing, brushing, and other means of
preservation. Every one should know that a dis

THIS road is now completed to West Baldwin,
and trains running to that point, 3s miles from
Portland. Beyond West Baldwin the road is graded
to Fryeburg, 30 miles from Portland, and the rails
Will be laid to that point early the spring as
the weather will permit. From Fryeburg the road
Is under contract to Conway, N. H., to which point
trains will run in July, 1871.
The road has thus far been built and equipped
from cash subscriptions to the Capital Stock; but to
complete it to Bartlett N. H., and provide addi-
tional equipment for its increasing business the
Company has issued bonds to the amount of $780,
600, secured by mortgage OF its Eentire property to
the following Trustees:
WOODBURY. DAVIS,
SAMUEL f. SPRING,
WESTON F. MILLIKEN,
We now offer these Bonds tor sale and confidently
recommend them as safe and profitable invest.
ment for these reasons:
1. Low Price. At the present value of
US. Bonds these Bonds pay one per cent.
moreinterest in gold on the investment.
2. Ample security. The entire mort
gage upon the road when completed to;Dart-
lett will be only $12,5OO per mile, a smaller
incumbrance than upon any other railroad
to Maine, with single exception, and lees
than the value of its rails and equipment.
g. Large and Probable Local
Traffic. The business upon the line al
ready completed more than meets the expec-
tations of its most sanguine friends, and Sc
cures beyond a doubt the interest on its
Bonds. The line is the natural outlet eof
some OF the finest waterpower in the State,
on the Presumpscot and Saco rivers bither-
to unimproved on account of the difficulty of
reaching the sea-board. 1t taps the large in
terror navigation OF Lake Sebago and its trb-
utaries, over "a miles of inland waters drains
very large agricultural district lying on the
shores of Lake Sebago and en- the bal ks OF
the Ossipee and Saco rivers, and penetrates
the heart of the White Mountains at Conway
and Bartlett, the most popular summer re-
sorts of the region.
4. Prospective connections, This
road is to form part OF trunk line from Lake
Champlain to the seabord It's sister corpo.
ration in Vermont, is rapidly building the
Western division OF the road, fiom Swanton
to the Connecticut River, and the entire line
when completed will be the shortest connec-
tion between Ogdensbrrg, the great dis
trbuting point of the lakes, and tide water.
We offer these Bonds for the present IN denomina-
tions of $1,000 or $500, at
Ninety and Acc7'Med Interest
in Currency.

Heroism Of a Conductor.

4 CONDUCTOR on freight and passenger
train on the Syracuse & Binghamton Rail
road performed a daring feat a few days
since, by which fearful catastrophe was
ayerted. The train, consisting of twenty
four stock cars and one passenger car,
which was filled with passengers, was be-
tween this station (Chenango Forks and
Whitney's Point, going at tolerable rate
of speed, when the engineer, VIM. Hardy,
discovered a rail entirely out of the track
some distance ahead. He Immediately
reversed his locomotive, but, upon second
thought, determined to attempt to run the
train over the place. where the rail was
missing, and at once turned on full
head of steam. The engineer andfireman,
however. did not remain to see what sue
cess the experiment would meet with, but
jumped off the engine, leaving 1t without
any one to control it. The train bounded
over the disconnected track at a fearful
rate of speed, every car retaining its posi-
ton on the track The dangerous spot
was passed, but, with no one upon the
locomotive to control its speed, most
terrible fate awaited the train somewhere.
The state of affairs became known to the
passengers, and panic was at once raised.
At Whitney's Point there was every prob
ability that the track would not be in
readiness for the train, as at the rate it
was going it would reach there some min
utes before its time. In this extremity
Conductor John Vrooman proved himself
TO be a hero. He was in the passenger
car at the rear of the train, but Chamber
ing up the ladder of the freight-car next
in advance, he ran the whole length of
the runaway train on the tops of the cars,
and was soon in the locomotive cab, seized
the throttle, and in the next moment had
the train under control. 4 less heroic

possible to tell what the result of the ex-
traordinary runaway might have BEEN

Smiles, Grotesque and Comical.

A GROTEsQUE smile is sometimes very
expressive. We mention those of Daniel
Webster, who likened the word would, -
IN Rufus Choate's handwriting, to small
gridiron struck by lightning; of a sailor
who ikened gentleman whose face was
covered with whiskers up TO his very eyes,
to rat peeping out of a bunch of oakum;
of Western reporter, who, in weather
item on a cold day, said that the suns rays
in the effort to thaw the ice were as futile
as the dull reflex of a painted yellow dog;
of a conductor, who, in discussion as to
speed, said the last time he ran his engine
from Syracuse, the telegraph poles on the
side looked like a fine tooth-comb. Smiles
of a like character are often heard among
the common people, and are supposed to
be the peculiar properties of Western ora
tors. Instances: As sharp as the little
end of nothing; big as all outdoors; it
strikes me like thousand bricks; slick as
grease or creased lightning; melancholy
as a Quaker meeting by moonlight; flat as
a founder; quick as a wink; not enough
to make Cruel for sick grasshopper; not
clothes enough to wad a gun; as limp and
Timber as an India-rubber stove-pipe; un-
easy as a cat in a strange garret; not
strong enough to haul a Goldfish off
gridiron; after you, like a rat-ter-

ENGLAND is excited on the subject of
her favorite bivalve, oysters. The price
charged for good ones is five times as
great per bushcl in 1871 as it was in 1851.
The beds have been dredged to death,
and cannot restock themselves. Formerly
the price was from sixpence TO one shil-
ling per dozen; now it is from half
crown to three shillings-though there is
a large, coarse oyster sold at fifteen pence
per dozen.
