Condition of Chicago Banks.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May during the past ten
days frequent enquiries have been made from
abroad relative to the standing of the banks in

on Sabbath last thus denoting good degree
religious prosperity. At Casco Street Free
Baptist Church, after the hand of fellow

pastor, Rev. Mr.. Small, preached fine dis
course addressing himself to the young disci-
pies from the words "Ye are they who have
continued with me in my temptations, &c
Stating that in the Christian life there was sor-
row to be met, trials to be endured as well as
joy to be sought for, but the great beau

ing finally admitted as victors and welcomed
with "well done &c." in the Kingdom of

and sits down in his Fathers Kingdom He
encouraged the young disciples in view of this
SCOTS of the world-let them laugh or spurn or
reject, faithfulness ensures success-victory will
follow, glorious entertainment given at the
last, when and where opposers and haters
would trouble no more 1t is desirable to have
joy, it is manly to meet and overcome trials;
and persevering effort and constant working
brings its present fruit of joylbesides the crown
OF victory. We are glad in view of the strug-
giles of this church through past affections that
it now M Maintains such high degree of pros

Portland and ogden.burg Railroad.

President Anderson and his brother, John Il.
Anderson, Chief Engineer of the Portland and
Ogdensburg railroad, returned from New York
on Monday night, bringing with them con-
tract which they had closed with Messrs Fuller
and Harding for the completion OF the road
from North Conway tot the Connecticut river, 81
miles, The price agreed on is $4,000 OO, half
cash and half company's bonds. The sum of
5000 is reserved for land damages, stations,
fencing, water tanks, &c The road is to be
equally well built with the section from Port
land to North Conway, and to be laid with iron
equal in quality to that manufactured by the
Portland Rolling Mills. The contractors are
men of large experience, and the contract for
the construction of that part of the road which
is now in operation, gave them an opportunity
to examine the whole line, and they fully un-
derstand the work they have undertaken.
Preliminary arrangements have been made
for connection with projected road from
Swanton to Montreal, crossing the ST. Lawrence
above the city, and there joining with the
Canada Pacific road, to which the Dominion
Parliament has voted a2,O0O,OOO, and which
VIII make direct route from Portland to the
Pacific by over hundred miles shorter than
any other built or to be built Such confidence
has Hugh Allan of the the Allan line in this
Canadian road that he has subscribed over six
hundred thousand dollars to its stock. A COM
peting road from Swanton to Ogdensburg has
also been projected, which will run north of the
Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain road, through
the richest portion of the valley of the ST. Law
renee, and which will shorten the dis
lance between these two points about ten m lies
A survey has been made which promises an
unusually favorable route-veIy direct and of
easy construction. A commission has been ap-
pointed to secure stock subscriptions and the
credit of the towns along the line. The result
of the Messrs. Andersons'. mission to New
York will render the appointment of commiss-
ion las prayed for) imperative. and there is no
doubt it will be done at an early day. Et- ID
