lines, exceeding largely at first, but diminish
ing with time, the earnings Of the respective
roads The present management have sue
ceolel, as we were tolda few weeks ago, in re-
ducng the rent Of the Rutland road to its ac-
tual earnings Aud now comes the still better
iutelligence--as we learn from the city papers
that the managers have succeeded in making
the Ogdensburg lease pay, through the success
Of their scheme Of bringing grain from Chicago
to Ogdcusburg in barges, The Northern
Transportation Company, whose boats are also
leased to the Central Vermont, has never be-
fore succeeded very well on account Of the

IL is found, however, that one of these pro
pellers can take along two barges, carrying al
together fifty thousand bushels Of wheat, with
out much extra expense. 1t is encouraging t.
learn that the Northern line is successful. |
