Colby UNIvERsITY.-The base ball game be-
tween the Bates and Colby's, on the latter
grounds, Saturday, resulted in victory for the
Bates by score of IA to l. The large score
gained by the Bates nine was undoubtedly due
to the illness of Bosworth, the efficient pitcher
of the Colby's. Contrary to the advice of his
friends, be went into the game so weak that he
was obliged to retire from the game long before
it was over. The strength Of both mines con-
sists mainly in thu pitcher and catcher. The
pitcher of the Colby's being unfit to play, gave
the Bates an easy victory.
If Boswolth is well enough to play, the long
anticipated game between the Bowdoin's and
Colby's will take place in Brunswick next Sat-
urday.
The Colby Rifles drill daily. and expect to
make fine appearances Decoration Day.
The Freshmen have commenced to rehearse

MAINE CENTRAL RAILRoAD-The settle
ment of the long standing quarrel between the
Eastern and Boston g. Maine railroad will, it is
said, result in marked change in the policy of
the Maine Genital. The new arrangements
are not perfected yet, but the plan doubtless is
to pool the earnings of the Boston & Maine
and Eastern roads, ard divorce the Maine Gen.
trail from the latter. The passenger cars of the
Maine Central will run from Portland to Ban
gor. That will be the extent of the route and
the conductors will go no further. There will
be no through trains except the night Pullman
trains. The Pullman cars will be taken off of
all day trains, thus relieving the road of their
immense weight. The night Pallman to alter
nate from this to the 'back' route. The gen.
eral offices will remain in this city as now, but
in all respects the management of the road will
be about the same as in 1S72-73. Freight trains
will run through as now, conveying freight
without transhipment to all parts of the coun-
try. Another effect of the change will be to
do away with all the special agent of the Bos-
ton & Maine in this state.
Railroad men regard the change as likely to
prove beneficial to all concerned 1t relieves
from complications, which the paople who pat
ronze the Maine Central have always regarded
with suspicion. Its effect in the financial
world is shown in the stiffening up of Maine
Central and Boston & Maine bonds, which is
an Enthusiastically good indication.

A NEW York PHYSICIAN, of many years
practice in the treatment of lung diseases writes
as follows to Walter Baker s. Co. regarding
their preparations of Chocolate and Cocoa
Experience from many years practice in the
treatment of lung diseases has convinced me
that as an article of diet for those suffering
acith any form of consumption, Chocolate is far
preferable to Tea or Coffee; in fact, the two
cases, while Chocolate, being an aliment and
analeptic, is particularly serviceabe where d.
gestion has been impaired by disease. Having
examined several specimens Of Chocolate, /
find that Bakers may be conscientiously re-
commended to invallds,'

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-The bill in equity
brought by Sullivau, Tr. e al, against the
Portland s. Kennebec r. r. Co. and John
Patten, Trustee, to recover for the preferred
stockholders of the Ken. s. 2. r. r. Co. the 4
per cent. per amman RENTED by the Yarmouth
bondholders on their loan of S202, 400 has at
length been brought to an end The suit was
commenced in the U. S. Circuit Court Maine
District, and was decided by that court in favor
of the defendants The plaintiffs appealed
from this decision to the Supreme Court,
of the United States. The case was submitted
on written arguments by a. g. Stinchfield for
plaintiffs and j. w. BfadooIy for defendants,
last winter, and that court has recently given a
decision affirming the decision of the Circuit
Court, that neither the Z. & X. r. r. Co. nor
the Trustees are liable. The opinion of the
the court was delivered by Justice Swayne. 1t
holds that the remission of the per cent by
Yarmouth bondholders, reducing their interest
from 10 to 6 per cent, was release to the old
corporation, extinguishing go much of the debt,
and not an assignment to the preferred
stockholders or an interest in the mortgage

WHAT WAS DONE NORTH.

We have diligently enquirei in rela.
/, ton to what was accomplished by
Watkins council with the Indians at
Spokane, and from all we can gather it
practically amounted to nothing. tn
the first place Watkins had 10 presents
and no money to use in i"dhcng the
Indians to be at the council and not
more than 200 all told were there.
They were asked to 90 upon reservations
and to desis nate the l4nds they wanted
tor their respective reserves. which some
of them did designate and they were
told that recommendations should be
made to Washington in accordance with
their wishes. Watkins told them he
could not promise them anything def
nite'v, that all would have to he sub
mitted to the authorities at Washington.
The Indians wanted to know then what
was the object of the council If he
could not promise them anything how
could he expect them to promise to 90
upon reservations. They must first see
aud understand that they were to have
something in return for their going mp.
on reservations. We understood that
conditional promises or agreements we're
signed by some Of them, while others
would not sign them, among the latter
was Spokane Gsary. Moses never
made his appearance in the council, but
Sherwood WIS sent to him to find out
his tum tum and then report to Gen.
i. Wheaton to whom Watkins. entrusted
the matter in his absence. We learn
that the half breeds, who are as we'll
posted as any about the opinions Of all
these Indians, say it will be useless to
attempt to compel these Indians upon
reservations that they will fight before
they will go.
