The Bangor & Piscataquis railroad has, in
the year ending Dec. 31st 1880, paid into the
Bangor city treasury the sum of S36, 800. This
is $11 800 more than was paid in the year 1879,
and is $4,000 in excess of the amount expected
The sum paid into the city treasury comes
within $4,000 of paying the interest on the
city's bonded Indebtedness. At the time the
city made the offer to the Lake Megantic rail-
road no one expected that the net earnings
would exceed $4,000. There have been sew
eral improvements made on the road during
the last year, which have been paid for out OF
the earnings. 1t is considered that the inn
provements more than balance the deteriora.

aaS. anu M ~ denschel, who will appear in the con-
'e,s City Hall Jan. 7th, says:
Hiss Bailey.'s voice sounds very light in ora
.9flo music, but is none the less sweet and
pleasing in quality Her singing of "But thou
alost not leave his soul in hell" ranked with
MT. Ioedts Behold and see," and Mr.. Hem
schels arias, as the very best accomplishments
OF the concert. Mr. HenschePs singing,
through the wide compass Of the bass in the
SSf;asorio, ORA exposing perhaps all the defects in
MS voice and metohds, was even superior to that
which he did in the first concert of the Oratorio
Society when elijah" was given; it was
more dignified in style, less constrained and
equally musical.
Tickets are ready at Stockbridges.
