Portland and 0gdensburgh Railroad.

A Morrisviic correspondent Of the Spring
field mass Daily Union, furnishes the fol-
lowing data of prospective business upon the
line Of this read, which will be perused with
interest by many Of our readers
There reached ports in the United States, in
1869. by transit through Canada, 800 900
bushels Of -four. 1890 900 bushels Of wheat
corn, : ,02i 600 bushels; other grain ,2is,OO
bushels This was the natural result OF the
fact that grain could be laid down in Montreal
from the West by water for twelve cents per
bushel, against twenty-five cents via the Erie
canal 10 New York. What vast dimensions
this movement will assume when ,0OO-ion
produce. carriers 20 through 10 Montreal direct
from Chicago, Milwaukee, aud other lake ports,
as they soon will be able to do, may readily be
ilerred.
Its growth however, is dependent upon the
opening Of adequate transportation facilities
IRON Montreal ~ the seabOard As has been
recently noticed in your columns, the Portland
aud Ogdensburg railroad will bring Montreal,
and with il the entire system Of fresh water
navigation, within go miles Of salt water. 1t
is intended 10 establish upon this line system
OF slow moving freight trains which will carry
produce TO the shore line at the lowest possible
cost. From Portland the amplest facilities for
distribution to all points exist, by steamship,
steamboat, packet and rail.
The management, moreover, are determin ed
TO have terminal facilities second to none in
the country They can he had at Portland at
comparatively trhing cost The matter is now
under adyisement.
The construction Of line like this that
promises to bring down the cost Of food on the
Atlantic seah0ard Is matter Of special con-
Germ to cur New England manufacturing com
munities. Over halt the cost Of manufacturing
j., late OF som, in the cost Of food TO the work
or. Unless the disparity in the cost Of living
betwxt the senboard and the interior can b.
greatly reduced, many branches Of manufacture
will soon go West. II by one line break in
reights can be made, the fall will have to be
made on the other lines. We believe our rail
road, the Portland and Ogdenshurgh, coupled
with the water line Of the lakes, will bring
this about.

SoouSDRKL IN MoSTrELlEs. - Our read
ers will remember the particulars Of the case
Of Thomas Cree, who had been for years Post
Master at Granville, n Y, and heavy dealer
10 roduce, bat who abscended from that place
las, winter, lurching the good people in that
vicinity 10 the extent Of nearly two hundred
thousand dollars. In speaking Of this matter
the Troy Tia0 gives the following eircum-
stance, which We have taken pains to verify
" About the 1T Of February Themes Cree
late Of Washington county, \. Y. made bis
appearance at Montpelier lie said he was in
poor health from hard work, ard had come
there Tor rest and 70 recruit his jaded energies.
lie took board in the family Of Lyman Camp,
and remained some days there. lie then said
he would 20 20 Boston but would return in a
few days. lie LETT bis trunk at Camps, where
it Is now, he paying ten dollars on account OF
board prior to and during his absence. But
he has never put in an appearance at Montpe-
lier since ne toUk the Boston train one morn
ing. OF course no one can say where he went.
Camp claims that while Cree was At M0ntpe-
licr, the Cashier of the Bank Of Poultney Wis.
tied lin and the two spent the greater part OF
day together at the Pavilion Hotel. What
does the cashier say to thi-? Ii does not look
at all as though Cree was on the route to Texas
when he was ut Montpelier
Among The manipulated claims left by Mr..
Cree is one held by the National Bank a
Poultney, amounting to $35 ,Oos 70. Mr~Cree
has since ordered his trunk forwarded to bis
old home, we believe
