The new spring woolens are the first mporta-
tons displayed. These are soft and yielding and
though of pure WOOL have scarcely more weight
than the sheerest cambria. The greater number
are sef-coored in the small neat figures that have
been so fashionable during the winter. Summer
camels hair, cashmere and other twilled stuis are
shown, but diagonals are no longer novelties, and
the small figures will have the preference. Ex-
perlenced merchants say that gray will be more
worn than it has since brown replac ed it two years
ago, and that iawn, steel drab shades will be pop
ular, also that the fancy for myrtle green and navy
blue will continue, especially when these colors
are combined with white in tiny checks smaller
than pin heads, and in various Oriental combina-
tons both of figures and colors.

PORTLAND.
Railroad Natter.

PORTLAND, February :. The railroad commis-
sioncrs appointed by vote of Sept 4th to .investi-
gate the affairs Of the Portland x o sdensbntg anI
Portland 4 Rochester railroads, reported to the
city council this evening, at length.
They report the total debt of the Rochester
road secnred and unsecured, one million seven
hundred and forty-two dollars; on which interest
is one hundred thousand dollars per year. and in
creasing. Whole net earnings are only twenty
thousands of this debt. The accumulated inter-
est, discount and commissions aggregate seven
hundred thiryseven thousand one hundred and
ffty-eight dollars Showing wastefulness in the
building of the roads On credit. Save this waste
fulness the commissioners approve the manage
ment of the road, except in some minor matters
mentioned.
They recommend that the city dispose of its in
teies in the road, and turn the proceeds into the
sinking fund, 10 redeem bonds. The road is al
ready IQt in the hands of receiver.
On the Oedensburg read they find the total
debt TO be two million nine hundred nine,y.scvcn
thousand two hundred and ninety dollars, with
assets Of about ffy-four thousand dollars; also
rolling stock about one hundred forty-four thous-
and.
enty-two thousand eight hundred and fifteen dol
lars. They find the waste in Interest discounts
and commissions TO be nine hundred and twenty
six thousand -four hundred and ninety-one dol
lils.
The commissioners suggest that the citizens or
posed to load votes Will not feel gratifcd to learn
that the Osdensburg paid over two thousand dol
lars and the Rochester about six hundred dollars
of city money to carry through the votes. Also
that the load Of twenty thousand dollars to the
Canada road was hardly prudent. They however
commend the upiightness OF the managers
They advise the city to make no further advances
and at favorable opportunity to dispose of its in.
teiest in the road.
They think it ineypcdicnt to appoint a receiver
at present, but advise the city to remain passive.
They report the city debt at the end of the
financial year, March 3lst rroximo will be six
million and thirty eight thousand two bundled
dollars, Of which two million is secured by sink
ng fund, and -four millions is in IA road loans Sc
curcd only by the bonds OF these two roads
They recommend that the sinking funds be ex-
tended, and that the expenses be rgdy cut down
to meet the Gebt without increasing taxes.
1t winds up with an emphatic assertion that the
city can never rcpudiate.
The commission was composed of Moses NJ
Butler, William W. Thomas, Il. NJ Richardson,
Francis X. swan, and W lillian L. Putnam, three
of them ex-mayors.
The report was accepted.

Parliament.
At the opening of Parliament to morrow two
blue books will be laid on the tables of the Hous-
es, one containing papers on the Eastern question
to the assembling of the conference, and the other
including the conference proceedings. Copies of
the hrst volume for distribution to the members of
parliament and the press, ill not be ready until
friday, and the second volume next week. The
debate on the question will probably begin after
the distribution of the second volume.
The general impression prevails that the oppo-
sition will not make direct attack on the gov
ernments eastern policy, even the liberal organs
admitting 1t impossible to do so successfully, in
the face OF the circumstances now known. Ru-
nors, however, are circulating in liberal circles,
OF grave differences between the Marquis of Sails
bury and his colleagues, and probably the resigna-
ton of Salisbury.
These reports assert that Beacons6eld and Der
by are not only pleased by Salisburys failure but
that they largely contributed to it through the in
srume ntaIity of Sir Henry Elliot. The rumors of
differences Of opinion are doubtless well founded
as the proceedings of the conference show that
Sallsbury's speeches went far beyond the views Of
Beaconsiield and Derby.

From Hon. W. II. Jones Of West Dover, VT.
81 have been troubled from my boyhood with
chronic hereditary lung complaint. Some
years since early in the winter, | took cold which
as usual settled in a severe cough which continued
to increase as the season advanced, although /
made use of all the cough remedies had knowl-
edge of. My family physician also prescribed for
me, but | experienced no relief. During all this
time was gradually running down, losing flesh
and strength, until my friends and myself, became
very much alarmed, thinking should waste away
in consumption. While in Boston, during the
spring following, was induced to try Wistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry. After days trial |
was sensible that it was relieving me in ten day :
time my cough had entirely ceased, and was
soon restored to health ami strength. Ihave ever
since kept the Basam in my house, and whenever
any member of my family has a cough or cold, ii
is Immediately resorted to. No family should be
without it."
