DEATH OF A NATIVE OF PoRTLAND-A
dispatch was received in this city yesterday,
announcing the death, on Saturday, OF Mr..
Nathaniel w. Lefavor, in Columbus, Ohio.
The deceased was native of Portland and was
book-binder by trade. He was with Mr..
David Bugbee, in Bangor, for a time, and then
| returned to Portland where he established a
bindery, and afterwards connected F. W.
Bailey with him. Selling out to Mr.. Bailey,
he went to Boston and was in large estab.
lishment in that city. Finally he removed to
Columbs, Ohio, where, while at the head of a
large bindery in that city he injured one of his
hands so as to lose the use of it. Still he con.
tinued in the establishment until at length he
was enabled to purchase it and carry it on or
his own account. By some fortunate opera.
tions in oil lands he secured a handsome prop
erty, which is left to his widow and three
children. His character, for truth, integrity
and upright dealings always stood high.

THE PORTLAND AND ROCHESTER, RAILROAD.
The Directors of this new road have made
their arrangements to connect with the several
roads centering at and running through ROch-
ester, N. H., by which an additional route be-
| tween Portland and Boston has been provided,
and new section of New Hampshire towns
opened to the travel and business of our city
Next Monday, week from to-day, the ar
| rangement goes into effect, ana before the
close of the present season we shall expect to
see the faces of many new purchasers in our
streets and an acquaintance formed with the
people of the rich farming towns lying along
the southeastern border of New Hampshire.
By the new route travellers can go through to
Boston by way of the Eastern railroad through
Portsmouth, or the Boston and Maine road
via Dover. At Rochester trains run to Al
ton Bay, a distance of eighteen miles, where
the grand and beautiful Lake Winnipesaukee
and its lovely villages can be easily reached by
steamer From Centre Harbor to North Con-
way is tW ty-three miles. The coaches are
excellent and the road delightful; and by
these means the pleasure seeker and tourist
has at his disposal an easy and varied way TO
the White Mountains. At Rochester the P &
r. road connects with the Portsmouth, Great
Falls and Conway road now op"n to Wake
field through Milton and Union Village.
There is no road of equal length running
from our, city that furnishes means by STAGE
steamer and connecting roads for reaching a
greater expanse of country than the Portland
and Rochester And it is source of gratifica-
ton to know that this road, which has had
troubled history has now accomplished the
first of its two great designs, and is beginning
a business which will be profitable to its
stockholders and valuable to Portland.
