Nashua s Rochester Railroad.
Opening of the Line to Epping, N. H.

Yesterday morning the passenger cats of the
Portland and Rochester Railroad, under direc-
| tion of Superintendent Turner, left Rochester
well filled with persons intending to pass the
week on the Camp Ground at Epping. Ar
engagements have been made by Superlnteno-
| ent Turner of the Portland & Rochester Rail
| road with the Superintendent of the Nashua
| 81 Rochester Railroad to run the cars OF tie
former road at convenient intervals each day
during the entire week. The arrangement
meets with great favor, and promises liberal
recompense. The passing of tho first passen-
ger train along the line of the road called OUT
enthusiastic groups of people at the railroad
crossings and depots lin Darlington, Lee ald
Epping, and from many farm house the EVIL
dence was equally demonstrative, made more
so perhaps from the long, long
these people have been waiting for the first
passenger car, an event. or feeling, which the
friends of the Portland & Rochester Railroad
Company elsewhere can well appreciate. Tie
distance from Rochester to Epping by rail IS
twenty miles. The road runs through beau
tiful farming country, and everything indicates
a thrifty and intelligent population. This new
line makes Rochester ten miles nearer Eppng,
Concord Manchester ETC., than by any other
route, and will receive large patronage from
that large railroad center. The Nashua q
Rochester Railroad has been thoroughly made
and built in all its departments. When COM
pleted it will be first-cass road in every re-
spect. Completely and thoroughly done, it will
require no outlay for years. The rails are now |
laid eleven miles beyond Epping, leaving sew
enteen miles unfinished, but only for this kind |
of work. AT Epping we noticed train of six |
ty cars loaded with railroad building material. |
Twenty-six cars of this number were loaded |
with rails from the Portland Rolling Mills
This company furnishes all the rails for the |
entire track. We are assured that the entire |
line of the road will be ready by October, and |
the cars viii be running from that date. We
conversed with prominent men OF Rochester
and vicinity also directors of the road, who
honored the first passenger train with their
presence, and the universal expression was one
of great confidence and favor in the success of
this enterprise. It is certainly a matter of
great importance to the Portland & Rochester
Railroad Company, that it is able to connect,
and make business arrangements with COM
pany and road which is so thoroughly built, and
SO well equipped for passenger and freight bust
ness. The equipment has already been pur-
chased. This week passengers can leave Port
land for Epping by the morning train, at a
cheap rate for round trip. The Camp Ground
at Epping is very inviting, and the New Hamp-
shire Methodists are spirited, and have large
hearts. Go and see.

(colored) was shot dead last night while at
tempting to enter the house of another colored

lived with him as his wife and who had for
saken him and last night was stopping in
Thompson's house. The latter version says
she refused to have anything to do with him
and that after being twice forcbly put cut by
Thompson, Williams came again into the
house, declaring he would kill every person in
it. ltwas then, it is said, that Thorn pson shot
him. Williams has already served two terms
of imprisonment for burglary. Thompson sur
rendered himself and was committed to Jail.

tloual clergymen of the East look upon him as

a confident of Theodore, Informing him that
Beecher's morals were questionable, aud if his
record were to be made public the Independent
would be ruined. Bowen consulted with Tilton
for a long time, and there sprung up between
the old man and the boy close friendships.
Finally Mrs Bowen died, and on her death bed
made confession. She told terrible story,
and Bowen's rage and grief was intense and
saddening. At the funeral of Mrs Bowen
