The FEoHTER TESTIMONIAL. - Although

fair at the time were unpleasant and unfortu.
nate, the sequal rebounds to Mr.. Fechter's
credit and by his generous bounty to the poor

his past follies. The total net receipts of the
benefit, were $324s 49, and in his reply to the
note of thee ommittee, amounting the result,
Mr.. Fechter says:
Indeed, the moral compliment is all to me
and ii taks any PRIDE IN the material result,

Mr.. Adams, in his recent report to the Har-
Dor and Railroad Companies of Massachusetts,
says:
Large union depOts, accommodating several
corporations, are growing in favor at all CEN
trail points. The high cost of land and the con-
venience of the travelling pubic compel the
roads to combine to effe ct that which they are
not strong enough to effect separately. A de-
DOT of this description is now building in New
York to accommodate the hudson River, the
Harlem and N. Y. and New Haven companies.
This building is 10 cover 10000 square feet, or
little less than four acres Another and very
remarkable structure of this sort is projected at
st. Louis. 1t is to accommodate ~ different
corporations besides their connections. 1t is to
cover three entire blocks, be partially covered
with glass roof, 700 feet long by 135 feet wide,
aud contain in all some fourteen tracks besides
over 300 offices. In Philadelphia union depot
owned by separate depot company, is under
contemplation. to accommodate the four roads
leaving That City on its southern side. In Kan
sas City union station. 500 leet by 1000 feet in
size, is to be constructed tor the use of the five
companies centering there. There have long
been two depots in Chicago, supplying five
roads, the least of which operates more miles
of track than any Massachusetts, corporation.
The plan Of union depots has been in oper alton
for wears in the cities of Troy, Providence,
Cleveland, Pittsburgh, indianapolis, SC.
&c."
The time is approaching, if 1t has not already
arrived, when the people of Portland, the city
government, the propretors and managers of
the different railroads centering here, must
consider seriously what is to be done for the
accommodation of the people of this city, of
passengers arriving in and departing from it,
| and for the convenient and economical work.
| ing of these roads,
AS one-half of the city boundary is deep
water line, city can scarcely be imagined in
which the arguments in favor of grand, cen.
trail union depot are of such force as those
which are applicable here. All the water front
is, or vesy soon will be, imperatively demanded
for purposes of business, and should not be oc.
cupied by tracks or trains except for the NOV.
| ing of freight This part of the city is distant
announcement OF access from the bulk of oul
city population. But it is not difficult to find
a location on the northerly side of the city
easy of approach by every line entering it (witf
| the possible exception of the Grand Trunk)
convenient to the hotels, the business c.nters
and the great majority OF our residences, where
passengers could be accommodated by stree
/ railroads.
1t is to be hoped that those who are interest
ed and influential in this matter will not per
nit it to sleep until it shall be too late to carr!
the proposed plan into execution. A neglec
now will not fail to be followed by deep ant
abiding regrets hereafter EAST.
