=, nI'he fear has been expressed that We
were building too may railroads, ind that
too much Of the capital Of the county
would DO ahsor bed in these enterprises.
/ To show how gronndless are these aPpre
tensions it may be stated that less than
two hundred miles of railroad have been
built IN this State since the war, period
of six years, aud this ALMOST entirely by
State bonds. and that not more than
a.. 800 coo have been subscribed to rad
p road companies, Including the subscrip~

Nississipti river, the Penuessee and Pa

and displayed here. Arnold, Slack and Cooper
realized $4,000, with which they bought more
gems in Europe and sailed the ground with

ATTRACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT. = We call
special attention to the entertainment of Joseph
and his Brethren, advertised in another column.
1t is to be given by some forty or fifty young
people of this city. Prof. Frost has met with
grand success in other cities in the presentation
of his allegory, and We safely predict one of
the finest and most acceptable entertain
ments ever presented in Portland. All lovors
of the beautiful will be sure to go. We clip
the following from the Fitchburg RevsiHe:
The Entertainment by the Methodist Sabbath
School, consisting of Prof G. S. Frost's ALLIE
CORY and Tableaux of Joseph and his Breth-
rem" which took place in the Town Hall dur
ing the past week, was an artistic and financial
success Scenes in the life of Jacob and Jo-
seph were beautifully illustrated by Tableaux
Singing, and Reeitatons. The actors were ar
rayed in splendid oriental costumes, and when
the strong chemical light (Mr. Frost's iuven-
toni was thrown upon them, the effect was
truly magnificent. No tableaux ever exhibited
in this town can compare with those.
