THE RAILROAD TICKET BUsINEss.-Just
now there is great activity in the sale of rail-
road tickets between here and Boston, and also
on other lines. 1t is we'll known that at near
ly every station east of here, there is person
who offers tickets from Portland to Boston over
the Boston and Maine for SLID These tickets
change hands few times and when they are
offered for sale here they sell for $3.50. Thus a
good profit is made and still they are sold for
fifty cents less than they can be bought at the
depots in this city or in Boston. Within day
or two great demand has gone forth for Eas
tern tickets, so that customers may buy by either
road One firm on Exchange street advertises
to sell tickets by either road for $3.50.
The officials on the several roads are getting
their eyes open and now they refuse to sell un-
less the purchasers are to use the tick cts them
selves. But not to be behind hand the ticket
men interview passengers who are waiting
around the depots and get them to purchase
one, two or three tickets. There appears to be
a good deal of money made by somebody in this
business The result is that great many peo-
pie ride on the roads just now at very low
prices.

A NUIsANCE.-As the warm weather is COM
ing on the Board of Health should look after
the sanitary condition of our streets. AS the
streets now are if the warm weather should
come on the city would be in great danger
from malignant diseases. In the streets oppo-
site every fruit store there is large quantity
of decaying fruit pealings and cores, and any
amount of refuse that would be sure to bring
disease should the weather become hot for a
day or two. This matter needs attention at
once, and such attention as will prevent the
use of the streets as place for rubbish.

AN EXPLANATION was stated in yester-
DAYS PRESS that the first West India squashes
had Just arrived and that they were nearly a
month late. This is not true, as there were
small lots received as early as usual. The diff
ference is that in former years people were de-
pendent upon West india squashes at this sea-
son of the year. This year the market is sup
piled with canned Hubbard squashes grown
here, which the people like so much better than
the West India fruit that there has been no
call for the latter.
