Important Development Of Portlands
Connection With the West.

President Anderson, of the Ogdensburg
Railroad, returned yesterday from trip to the
West, whittier he has lately been in connection
with the following gentlemen:-W. X. Blod-
gett, President of the Ogdensburg q Lake
Champlain Railroad; A. B. Jewett, President
of the St. Johnsbury & Lake Champlain road;
A. A. Gaddes and George W. Hall, of OgdeDs-
burg; J. H. Farrar and W. l.. Frost, of Bos-
ton.
The result of their visit may be summed up
as follaws:-They have received assurances
that, another season, the Cottonwood line of
steamers, which ply between Toronto and Buff
falo, will connect with the through route from
o, densburg to Portland, lately opened, at Og-
densburg. These are very large steamers, and
at Toronto they connect with the lines of rail-
way and steamers on the Northern lakes, OF
which Duluth on Lake Superior, is the objec-
tive point, thus bringing this far distant North
west with its immense traffic in direct commu-
nication with Portland. This was the scheme
contemplated when the Portland q Ogdens-
burg was started. Rival lines Immediately
proceeded to Illustrate it. They leased the
Ogdensburg & Lake Champlain, most impor-
tant link, and then, by diverting its freight
and passengers, succeeded in almost destroying
it. Now the friends of the Portland y Og-
densbufg have got the mastery, have got pos
session of the Ogdensburg & Lake Champlain
aud will carry out the original scheme.
Besides this business, it is probable that in a
few de Us arrangements will be completed by
which line of large steamers will be put on
between Toledo, at the western end of Lake
Erie, to run to Ogdensburg. These boats will
pass through the Welland canal. At Toledo
they will connect with Jay Gould's Wabash
line, connecting with Chicago, stretching to St.
Louis and then connecting with the new road
to Texas and Mexico.
The active railroad movements lately initial
ed here, it will be seen, appear likely to bear
good fruit. While in Toledo the gentlemen
mentioned above, in compa ny with Messrs.
John G. Osborn, CO nmercial agent of the Va
bash, and W. T. Walker, visited the elevators
and other points of interest. The Toledo pa
pers says This was not their first visit to To-
ledo for this purpose, and their return aud I'M
abated interest is regarded as favorable iudi-
cation that the proiec will become certainty

The New Roller Skating Rink

The people of Portland have been in want
for the past two seasons of place for Roller
Skating Rink, and through the endeavors OF
Mr.. Huckins of Boston (who is manager of the
rink in that city, they have at last succeeded
in getting one.
The new rink is in Storer Brothers. new block
on Middle street, and is one of the finest in
New England 1t is large, and has one OF the
finest floors of any rink this side of New York
and those who skate upon it cannot fail to
agree with us in this statement The skaters
of Portland will find this far superior to any
of the former Kinks that have been run in this
city. The rink is heated by steam, and rail
ings are run around so that the udience will
not be in the way of the skaters: there are
ladies' and gentlemen's dressing rooms, and
everything is being done to make this one of
the finest Kinks in New England.
This place of amusement will be open all
day Thanksgiving to the public, with good
music in attendance, and those wishing to en-
| Joy pleasant time had better improve this op-
| portunity..
| The rink will be carried on in a first class
manner, and everything will be done to make
| it as pleasant as in former years.

st. Luke's sewing school resumed its work
on the first Saturday of the present month.
This is most noble and praise-worthy work,
carried on by faith and love. There has never
been connected with the school any regular
fund; it has thus far been entirely supported
by few generous donors. The ladies having it
in charge, hoping in time the school may be-
come self-sustaining, propose holding sale OF
articles (mos.ly made by the children OF the
SCHOOL, on Friday afternoon of this week at
the rooms, corner. of Spring and South streets,
and would be glad to welcome all who may be
interested in this charitable work.
There are connected with the school LOO
children. These little ones are gathered from
all parts of the city. They meet weekly; and
are taught that most needful of all work, the
use of the needle. Some time of each session
is spent in musical and Christian training.
The children learn readily. Their singing is
quite remarkable. II is real pleasure to lis
ten to their young voices and to see the bright
eyes and happy faces as they ''shout the glad
tidings of great joy.

is casting dark cloud over his prospects. The
West furnishes several men who are anxious
for the office, and they will in measure neu-
tralize one another. The condition of the con-
test is thus favorable to the success of a New
England man. Should the Representatives
from this section unite on Hon. Thomas B.
Reed of Maine, there is a strong probability
that he will be the next Speaker. Is it not
worth the while of the New England Republi-
cans to secure this office by little united ef-
fort? So good an opportunity should not be
wasted"
The foregoing paragraph is from the New
port Mercury, and we heartily agree with the
sentiments expressed in its closing sentences.
Mr.. Reed would make an excellent Speaker,
and our new Representatives can signalize the
opening of their career in Congress in no better
way than by advocating and working for his
election.
