RAILROAD WAR.-We do not learn
that there has been any adjustment of
the difficulties on the South Eastern
Railway. Trains run over the entire
road now, but do not make close con-
nections at Troy. The Passumpsic runs
one train day to North Troy and re-
turn, leaving here at o'clock Il. m,
and returning here about | ii. III.
From Troy to Montreal trains are run,
we believe, on the old time, leaving
North Troy about a. M. and return
about p. M. Though no through COM
munication is made direct, it is better
far than no communication and all are
hoping things will be better soon.-
