other change of cars. There the splendid boats
of the Norwich line are taken for New York. A
passenger may take the 100 A. NJ. train from Au-
gusta, and arrive in New York at O'Clock the
next morning, saving about six hours time over
the old route. This route leads through the
most picturesque portion of the country, and has

Railroad Tax-The Money Paid Over.
Hon. S. c. Hatch, Treasurer of State, received
Yesterday check for 500, 42S0o, in payment Of
the tax of 1874, imposed upon the Portland, Saco

in payment of the tax for the same year upon
the Portsmouth, Great Falls < Conway Railroad.
The Treasurer has been laboring with these two
roads for some time, with the above very saisfac-
tory results. The following list embraces the
railroad corporations that have paid the tax of 1874
Boston & Maine. $26,34225

1t will be seen that the State has derived $780,
3S4.52 from this tax. The Maine Central claims
exemption from the tax under the provisions of
their charter. If this claim is valid, the Atlantic
4 St. Lawrence Railroad and the Dexter & New
port Railroad, will also be relieved from payment
under similar charter exemption. The follow
ing companies have not paid the tax Of 1874.
