Salt Marsh Reclaimed.

Can another town boast of diked meadow
where only the poorest of salt hay was mowD,
now rich and productive only needing the pillow

and sown to rye the hight of the rye, when
grown was, on an average, six feet high, and
some even higher, SO hig1 that a man could
be co nplttely lost as in a forest. Auother
sowed Timothy and other grass seed and raised
four tons of hay to the acre. As an experiment
some drills were made and squash seed pant-
ed, from which the largest squashes showed at
our Agricultural Fair were grown "a fair which

once, without seed, grow English grass Where
no seed has been sown the natural grass grows
luxuriantly.
1t may not b, generally known that in Scar.
borough there are between six and seven hun
dred acres of salt marsh reclaimed, by dam
and dixie, which promise, in richness of soil
and produc.iveness to be equal if not superior TO
that of Marshfeld, no manure will ever be
needed, as the soil is composed entirely of de-
caYed vegetable matter.

Showing an increase of little more
than 20 per cent in the tonnage.
1t is certainly a pleasant reflection that
during the past year no accident has oc-
CURED causing injury to the person or
property of any passenger or patron of
the road. The absolute safety and the
regularity with which trains have been run
is evidence of the faithfulness and watch
full care of the Superintendent and EN-.
ployees Of the road.
One person, VIM. G.. Gilmartn. was
killed in the Portland yard by jumping
from train on the Maine Central railroad
in front of passing train on the Portland
and Ogdensburg road. A brakeman upon
freight train, Mr.. G. Stevens, was struck
by bridge at White Rock and injured SO
badly that he died in few days after.
The question which for so many wears
has caused such annoyance and expense
to this corporation, owing to the inter-
probation put upon the language of the act
granting right of way to the Portland
and Ogdensburg Railroad Company,
through the State of New Hampshire, by
parties outside of the company, some of
whom were in hopes thereby to prevent
the construction of the road, and others to
compel the company to build upon route
different from that selected by the direc-
tors. has been solved by the passage of an
act at the last session of the New Hamp-
shire Legislature, amendatory of the act
aforesaid, and authorizing, in explicit and
unequivocal terms, the location and con-
struction of the road upon the route Sc
lected by the directors; and the time for
the construction and completion of the
same extended to the LIST of January. 1890.
In accordance Herewith, location has
been made from the Fabyan House through
Carroll, Whtefield and Dalton to a iunc-
ton with that section of the road already
constructed between Scott's Mills and the
Vermont line, and copy of said location
filed in the office of the Secretary of State
of New Hampshire.
AS matter of some interest to the
stockholders "a statement is here given con-
tanning dates of opening the road for pub
lie use:

To Let.

In 1854 and 1865 Capt Charles L. Gardiner of Che-
sea, Mass, insured in the Union Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company of Maine, for $4,000. on two ordinary
Life Policies, payable at death provided the prem
iums were paid annually according to the terms of
the contract.
On the I'd day of July, 1877, Capt. Gardiner had his
policies changed to the form now used by the Com
pany which gives the benefit of the Maine Non-for-
feituIe Law.
On the i1th day of September 1877, he sailed from
Boston as master of the good ship "Iceland'' on a
voyage to Calcutta. The ship and all on board were
lost at sea. The premiums due July 27, 1877, and
August g. 1877, were not paid, and by the terms of
the original policies this would have worked for
feiture of the entire Insurance; but under the new
policies which I'd been gratuileusly offered by the
company, the insurance would have been continued
in force more than three years, or until November,
1880, notwithstanding the on-payment of the prem
iums due in 1877 and the fact of the death beng es-
tablished to the satisfaction of the company the full
amount of the policies was pail on the 29th day of
October, 1878.
