Copenhagen, Jan. 20. During discussion
OF the Budget in the lower House of Parlia
meut to-day, the leaders of the agricultural
party favored reduction of the appropriation
on the ground that there was danger under
the heavy burdens imposed upon the people,
and from the preponderance of the great
powers, the small States will soon disappear
from the map of Europe. The Minister of
War in supporting the Budget expressed his
belief that the condition of Europe was dan
gerous, and that the small powers who are
peaceably inclined might be forced into
war for the defence of their independence.

owner of Brazier's Block that was, corner Of
Dock Square and Exchange street, was in
the habit of doing his own marketing, long be-
fore Quincy market was thought of. One
morning, at Thanksgiving time, he stepped
out among the many wagons that lined the
whole of Dock Square, where all the market
ing was done in old times, to buy him goose.
He soon had his eye on a fine hooking one,
the price of which in those days was an old
fashioned pistareen, value 20 cents, (few
young men of this day ever saw one,) he
soon had him in his covered basket, thinking
ne was a young one, and started homeward
"Good by, captain" was the loud excama-
ton Of the seller. "What do you mean?" ex-
claimed the Colonel, who always stood on his

We now offer these Bonds for sale and confident
ly recommend them as safe and profitable in.
vestment for these reasons:
l. Low price. At the present value of L. S.
Bonds, these Bonds pay one per cent more interest
in gold on the investment
Q. Ample security. The entire mortgage upon
the road when completed to Bartlett, will be only
$l2 500 pei mile, smaller ncumbrancc than upon
any other Railroad in Maine, with single excep-
ton and less than the value of its rails and equip.
ment.
8. Large and profitable local traffic. The
business upon the line already completed more
than meets the expectations of Its most sanguine
friends, and secures beyond doubt the interest
on its Bonds. The line is the natural outlet of some
of the finest waterpowers in the State. the Pre-
sumpscot and saco rivers, hitherto nnimproved on
account of the difficulty of reaching the seaboard.
1t taps the large interior navigation of Lake sebago
drains very large agricultural district lying on
the shores of Lake Sebago, and on the banks of the
Ossipee and Saco rivers. and penetrates the heart
of the White Mountains at Conway and Bartlett the
most popular summer resorts of the region.
4. Prospective connections. This road is
to form part of trunk line from Lake Champlain
to the seaboard. Its sister Corporation In Vermont
is rapidly building the Western division of the
road from Swanton to the Connecticut river, and
the entire line, when completed, will be the short

and manner in which they build their houses,
or dams, as some persons term them. They
build them near the water, or rather where
the water runs at certain seasons of the year.
They build them larger or smaller in proper
ton as the spring freshets will be, they use

whatever and their predictions seldom fail.
