By which it appears that there has been
slight falling off in local passengers, due to the
small amount of local excursion business in
the last summer, while the foreign passenger
and local freight receipts are quite largely in
creased, the latter affording the best evidence
that business upon the Immediate line of the
road is more prosperous and quite rapidly
augmenting.
The steady annual increase in the number of
foreign passengers comes from the summer
travel through the mountains, which is grow
ing larger every year, and is now only limited
by the hotel accommodations there provided.
1t will be seen that the receipts are
$21,165.6S more than in 1879, an increase of
7-79 per cent, and on the net earnings an
increase of 11-26 per cent.
Respectfully submitted in behalf of the
Board of Directors.

The large increase over last year in sale of |
bonds of the issue of Nov. l, 1871 is by of
settlements with creditors of the company, who |
held the bonds as collateral and took them in pay
ment of the debt.
The report was accepted.
A committee consisting of W. w. Thomas,
c. E. Jose and Henry Deering was appointed
to receive, sort and count the votes for board |
of directors. The whole number of votes cast
was 1886, the whole of which were for the
following gentlemen:
Samuel j. Anderson, H. N. Jose, w. F. |
Milliken, J. S. Kicker, J. Eastman, J. P. Bax-
ter, r. NJ. Richardson, w. w. Thomas, Jr.,
Samuel Waterhouse, Francis Fessenden.
On motion of C. E. Jose it was voted to in
struct the directors of the railroad to transfer
to the city of Portland the absolute title to the
bonds of said company now held by the city
as collateral security, the value of the bonds
and the conditions of the transfer to be deter
mined hereafter between the city and direc-
tors; and furthermore to make such arrange
ments with regard to the transfer of stock
now held as collateral security by the city as
shall be satisfactory to the representatives of
the city.
There being no further business, the meet
ing adjourned.

Your road has been singularly exempt, from
the casualties which so often attend the oper-
atoms of railroad trains in this country;
another year having passed without the occur
renee of any injury to the person of patron
of the road, or to the property of the company,
except of the most trivial character.
This cannot be wholly ascribed to good
fortune, but in part to the safe condition of
the road, the good quality of its equipment,
and more especially to the watchful care of
your superintendent and the attention to duty
on the part of the employees.
The company during the past year, besides
providing for the running expenses, and the
very considerable improvements heretofore
enumerated, has paid the interest falling due
on its first mortgage bonds, amounting to
| $4,000; also coupons on the scrip, issued
| under the agreement with tbs trustees of said
bonds, of $l8, 720; and has made payment
upon the Dalton construction loan, of I, lS4.63,
including the interest on the same.

if she hadn't deceived him she wouldn't be

down and got down on his Knees and began

THE AnArEUR FAanER.

I dreamt Of beautiful time
When the world shall happy be;
When the elephants and hyenss
Shall blossom on every tree;
When tamarinds and potatoes
Shall cease their dreadful roar
When turnip trees shall blossom
In the garden for ever moro.
! dreamt Of . great Republic.
When the people shall all 60 West.
Sow plums and reap tomatoes
In tho land they love the best;
When pig iron aud molasses
Shall bloom on every hill.
And chickens low In the barnyard.
While goos cherries toll at the mill.
I'm weary Of seeing the cabbage
Handle the rake and the hoe;
I'm weary Of watching and waiting
For the grasshepper bush to grow;
long for the time when spinach
Shall cope with bred and milk;
When hens shall lay potatoes.
And horses spin raw silk.
oh sweet we're tho vanished hours
When wandered down the glen,
And wreathed my brow with tomatoes
Or plucked the ripened hen;
When the donkey twined up the trellis
And the cucumber chirped in the grass
And the sweet potato whistled
To Its mate in the mountain pass.
But gone are the days Of childhood.
And manhood's dreams arc mine;
Yet long for the bygone hours.
Az I sit meath this Turkish vine.
oh wreAthe your blossoms around me
And soothe my aching breast;
While . gooseberry plaintivsly warbles
And lulls me into rest.

government has seen fit TO recall its young
men who have been studying in this
country is not yet clear, but that they are
to continue their studies in England,

Kivong Ri Chin. The educational COM

port that Tu Sing Kee, an sttache Of the
Chinese embassy at Washington had
said that the students were to be sent TO
Europe, is undoubtedly false, for he had
