BURLINGTON AND L.NOILLE AND PORTLAND
AND 0oDESsBuRG R.HRoADs.-ln reply to
our recent structures on the conduct Of the
receivers of the Portland and 0gdensburg
railroad in refusing to make connections
with the Burlington and Lamoille railroad.
the former, through the ST. Adams Messen-
ger, say:
From all information that We can
gather. there was no purpose on the part OF
the receivers of the Vermont division OF the
Portland and 0gdensburg road to sever the
connection at Cambridge Junction Their
straitened finances made it incumbent upon
them to reduce the running expense, and
this they did by taking off the express train
with which the Burlington and Lamollie
had connected. They now run a mail train
both ways each day, and a passenger car on
their freight trains. 1t would seem not to
be inconvenient Tor the Burlington and La
mo lille, which is only tap, TO accommodate
itself to the main limo. Economy by the
Portland and 0gdensburg Is certainly com
mendable for it owes construction and run
ming expense claims which it ought to pay
and is struggling to pay; and OF course.
while owing like that, not to mention inter
est, and making some necessary Outlays Tor
the safety of its track and the increase Of
motive power for moving fast accommodating
freight, it cannot be expected to run for the
special accommodation of parties, some of
whom were never backward in throwing
obstacles in the way.
In answer, it may be said If the Bur
lington and Lamoille railroad is "only a
tap" it is the largest tap" the managers
of the other road ever saw. The Portland
and Ogdensbnrg road, in the first place, ran
their morning train so as to make it neces-
sary for tie Burlington and Lamoille to
leave here at FIVE o'clock in the morning,
under which condition the latter road. Of
course, could do no profitable business, and
naturally made the change necessary to ac-
commOdate our people and those along the
line. Soon alter the Portland and OgdeDs-
burg managers withdrew their afternoon
train. leaving us without any connection,
whatever, beyond Cambridge junction
Since the opening of the Portland and Og-
densburg railroad, last July, not single
train has arrived at Cambridge Junction on
time, the delay being from half an hour to
four hours or more, and it was impossible,
on this account, for the Burlington
and Lamoille road to make cOnnec-
tions at the Junction at oil. As to that
fast accommodating freight" We may
say that the only freight of much account
went out from Burlington and was delayed
at Cambridge Junction by the Portland
and 0gdensburg managers. The last and
somewhat personal clause of the mana
gers very lucid manifesto, quoted above,
we confess ourselves unable to understand,

Growing Old.

Softly, oh softly the years have swept by thee,
Touching thee lightly with tenderest care
Sorrow and death did they often bring nigh thee,
Yet they have left thee but beauty to wear,
Growing old gracefully,

Nearer each day to the pleasant home-lght,
Far from the waves that are big with commotion,
Under full sail and the hsrbor in sight.

Past all the islands that lured thee TO rest
Past all the currents that wuoed the unwilling

Rich In experience that angels might covet,
Rich in a faith that has grown W tn thy years,
Rich in a love that iew from and above II,

BUsINEss-THE oBEIIsK-ASoTHEE STRIKE
THE LAST swISDLE- POLITICAL LOTTERIES.
Nzw YORK, Oct. 20. 1877.
To the Editor OF the Free Press and Times.
As everything pertaining to the business OF
the country is of interest, called upon sew
eral of the heaviest jobbers. The reports
we're all alike Business is now healthier
than Mt any time since the war. The volume
of trade is not so large, more discretion and
Judgment is being used, and the quality OF
the goods purchased is different. The pur-
chases of fine goods are much less, and
trade runs largely to necessaries. In brief,
merchants are buying literally, though very
carefully, and buying intending to pay. The
reports are all to the effect that the farmers
are doing well, and buying fairly well, while
the working people in the towns, especially
those that are dependent upon manufactures,
are poor, and are buying very little. as yet.
But there is II strong hope of Improvement
in these, as the good condition OF the farm
ing community cannot but improve their
condition. Altogether the merchants are
of the opinion that the good times have
commenced, and that they will continue till
we get back to good, safe, steady-goinS
condition of things.
