meet with the regular train for Nashua, passing
through without any delay, and by connection
with the Boston, Concord and Montreal rail
road, at Concord, n. H.. reach Bethlehem, \.
H, the foot of the mountains, at four O'Clock
p. NJ. Stages con meet here for the mountain
house, either of which can be reached before

cester railroad leaving Providence at six
o'clock in the morning and connecting with
the new fast express train north over the
Nashua railroad, leaving Worcester at a
quarter before eight O'Clock A. NJ, will be
put on next Monday. These cars will con-
meet at Nashua with the regular northern train
for Montreal, the White mountains, sc. Pas
sengers from Providence, Fall River, Newport
Sc, will thus be enabled to reach the mountains
and other points north the same day, and those
coming from the north can reach Providence the
same day by the new train, which in return will
leave Worcester at seven O'Clock p. NJ, on the
arrival of thelast train from Nashua. Through
| cars will be run between Providence and the
| White mountains, thus avoiding all necessity
of change of seats the whole distance. The
new train north will also connect at Aver juno
ton and Fitchburg with the first morning train:
on the Vermont and Massachusetts and Cheshire
railroads for points west and north.
