which certain roads were formerly known,
with their proper designations at the pres

importance. Forming the Rain body OF
the book is a list of all the "Railway Sta
tions in the United States and the DOmin-
ion of Canada, giving their location as Ia
county and State, and line of railway, and
designating such as have post, money or

of this portion Of the book is a E6TT full
statement of the population OF the several
towns, much fuller than can be obtained
from the census Of 1870. Following this Is
