PORTLAND AND OGDENsBuRG-A meeting of
n large number of the bondholders of the Port
land and Ogdensburg road, and the commission
appointed by the city, was held at Portland the
other evening, to what course was best for the
bondholders to pursue. No definite arrangement
was concluded. 1t was thought advisable to fund
the coupons for some time to come, as the road
is unable to meet the interest, but nothing further
was determined. The bondholders, represented
by the city, and perhaps some others, seemed to
think the appointment of receiver the best
course, as in the case of the Rochester, while
Others seemed to prefer that the trustees should
take possession.

After week. rest, the grist-mill is again in mo-
ton. The miller reports an increased supply of
water, and Is now able togrnd about fifty bushels
per day. There has been no thawing weather to
raise the water supply, but the heavy snow
storms have, doubtless, in some way contributed
to that result, Snow Is fully three feet deep in
the woodland, and that depth may be considered
an average The storms and winds are so fire.

The character of the exercises are highly spoken
OF as to quality, but the attendance aud interest
seemed too meager for success financially. The
limited notice given, and the Indictment character
of the weather, doubtless did much to restrict or

WEST ToPsHAM-T week of prayer was OBJ
served at the Union church. In consequence of
bad roads the attendance was small. The Freewill
Baptists hold quarterly meeting here COM
mencing on Friday of the present week Quite
religious interest is being manifested here.
There never was such scarcity of water as at the
present time; some have to melt snow, others
drive their stock long way to water In some
sections of the town they have had to break roads
every day for three weeks and the roads are
nearly impossible now. Elwin, son of John
Wilds received a severe kick from horse on
Sunday last; no bones broken, but a severe flesh
wound which is very painful and will contne
him to the house for few days.

HE Dand concert on saturday evening was
rather SHINY attended, which should not have
been the case. There will be another held this
week, and we hope the hall will be as full pos
sible It's pleasant way to pass the evening.
Try tit will only cost you fifteen cents, The
concert this week will be given on Friday even
ing, instead of Saturday as heretofore This is
TO give an opportunity of attending to many who
have been unable to attend on Saturday evening,
WE deeply regret to learn of the financial en-
barrassment of Mr. T. c. Phinney, Of this village.
Mr.. Phinney suffered from the failure of Henry
NJ Foster, from robbery on his store some two
years ago, and from the fire. We trust his diff
culties will now be only temporary He at least
can have the consolation of knowing that every
one in town believes him to be perfectly honest
man. and that he will have more sympathy in his
trouble than almost any other man in our COM
munity.
A VERY pleasant gathering was held at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. D. W. Dudley, on Saturday
evening, the occasion being the celebration of the
twenty fifth anniversary Of their marriage, About
one hundred persons were present the gifts were
numerous and appropriate, and the evening passed
most delightfully."- to all concerned. Though I'M
able to be present. we desire to offer our con-
CALCULATIONS, and only wish that the worthy host
and hostess may be permitted to celebrate with
their friends that wedding which shall be called
golden instead of silver,
