A Railro ad Couch.

Mr.. j. johnson, a conductor on the Eastern
Railroad, has invented and received a patent
on method of constructing a couch out of
two common Car seats, to DO used in case of
sickness, ect By a series of peculiar hinges
the back of one seat is let back and two cush-
ions dropped into the vacant space between
the seats forming a very easy couch. The
whole is shut out from the rest of the car by
curtains hung from jointed rods, which, to-
gether with the bedding, are packed under the
seat when not in use. The object of it is to
do away with the common saloon which takes
up considerable room and is seldom used.

Opening Of the Old Orchard junction
Railroad

Opening Of the Old Orchard junction
Railroad
The Inauguration of the construction of the
Old Orchard Junction railroad, Old Orchard
Beach, to the Eastern railroad connecting
with the latter about two and one-half miles
east of the Saco depot of the E. R. r.. has
already been chronicled in these columns. The
road is now complete and will be opened for
business on Monday next, 18th inst.
The managers and contractors are entitled to
great credit for their energy and enterprise in
this new railroad connection. 1t gives Port
land and Boston a new route to Old Orchard,
and more particularly the patrons of the East
ern road, as it opens up direct communication
at Old Orchard with the seaside resorts on the
line of that road in New Hampshire and Mas
sachusetts.
The work has been done in a superior man
ner, and the equipment is first class. The de-
pots at Old Orchard camp ground station and
the junction are neat and convenient, and
every effort will be made to accommodate the
public. 1t is proposed to run the trains every
forty minutes, making connection with every
train on the Eastern road, except the train
which leaves here at 2 a. m. Several popular
excursion routes in connection with the new
road are in contemplation.
The company are entitled to much credit for
the enterprise, and will undoubtedly receive
the prosperous success they deserve.
