ladyes will grace the occasion with their
presence, coloied lights and fanciful decora-
tions will dazzle the eye, and the music by
Chambers orchestra will charm the ear The

tunes supplied by Hayden. the Boston cos

THE RAILROADS.


From what has transpired in railroad circles
the past few weeks, as well as from semi-offi-
cial intimations and declarations, there is the
best authority for stating that the majority of
the Maine Central directors have determined to
accept the proposition of the Boston & Maine,
and admit that Company to the same priv
leges accorded by the existing contract to the
Eastern. Yesterday, officials of the Maine
Central went to Boston to confer. with the
Eastern managers, with view of getting their
assent to the proposed plan, but we are informed
that whether the Eastern acquiesces or not the
Maine Central directors, or majority of them,
have determined to put the Boston & Maine OF
the same footing as relates to business over the
Maine Central as the Eastern, thus practically
annulling the nnety-nine years contract OF
1872, which, it is claimed, has been broken al
ready by the Eastern.

AssAULTED.-Yesterday afternoon about
o'clock, as a colored man was passing up Con-
gress near Washington street, he was attacked
by two rufians who began to abuse him. The
colored man did his best to get away from
them, but failing to do this began to defend
himself. They were too heavy for him and he
was obliged to draw revolver on them. At
this point number of police arrived and ar
rested both offenders. Persons who saw the
affair, say that the colored man was very much
abused
