penses by $12,2S8, making the net income

The report states that taking advantage Of
recent deepening OF the Weland canal 1t has
been deemed best to establish another line of
propellors to run between 0gdensburg and
the West via the lakes. An agreement has
been entered into for the construction Of
steamer to be finished this season, which the
company have the option Of purchasing. There
has also been chartered five other steamers for
the Chicago line, intending to have a steamer
leave each port three days each week. 1--WE
have also chartered two steamers TO run be-
tween Ogdensburg and Lake Erie ports,
which are sufficient to have two each week
leaving Ogdensburg. We think, II rates are
reasonably maintained through the season, the
outlook for business on onr road is better than
for many years
We have built this year in our shops two
hundred and seventy-one long box cars, eighty
long fiat cars, three Tiffany refrigerator cars.
purchased two Mogul .engnes, purchased and
laid in main track two Thousand tons steel
rails. also considerably increased our side
tracks,.
The directors further say: 1--WE have sold
100000 of our first consolidated mortgage
bonds, and our floating debt has been in
creased SCI 900. We would recommend the
further sale OF bonds as soon as convenient,
and reduce or pay our floating debt. About
$500 tons steel is required to finish our main
track, which can now be purchased with com
paratively small cost, considering the price
Of old iron rails" Reference is
also made to the Lamoille Valley Extension
Railroad Company, which has completed f.
nancial arrangements with W. III. Vanderbilt
and George b. Phelps for funds sufficient for
the building of their road and bridges from
Swanton to Rouse's Point, and when COM
pleted will make an unbroken connection via
the st. Johnsbury and Lake Champlain Rail-
road to Portland and other northern New
England Points, which will largely increase
business. The annual meeting will be held at
Ogdensburg, June Goth next.
Minor Notes.
1t is reported that the Grand Trunk Rail-
way, which has been losing its White Noun
tain business, will make push to regain it
this season. There is some talk of running a
parlor car TO the Fabyan House from Mon
treal, via Groyeton and Lspcaster The Bos-
ton and Maine Railroad will run parlor car
as it did last year, via Old Orchard and Port
land 10 Fabyan's. The Southeastern parlor
car from Montreal to Portland, through the
White Mountain Notch will be run as it was
last season. In short, all express trains will
have parlor cars, SO that travellers may come
and go at their ease, and as frequently as they
may desire.

Mill

GoRHAM, N. H., May rs, 1883.
About midnight last night the extensive
lumber mills of Il. Clement & Co were discov-
cred to be on fire, and so great had been the
headway of the flames before discovery that
nothing could be done to secure them from to-
tai loss, which is estimated to be at least $l0,-
600, aud only partly insured This loss does not
include the very great damage also resulting
from the inability to manufacture the large
amount Of lumber got in for immediate manu-
facture and sale and 1t will be some little
time before they can get in Operation, though
IL is expected they will commence at once.
The FIRE is supposed to have caught from the
engine room, the watchman having first dis
covered IL there, but when help arrived the
whole roof was in flames. The owners are the
same as when the mill was burned on the same
spot four years ago, viz, Edward Clement and
Frank Nj. Clement OF Portland, Me-, and Elihu
Libby OF Gorham.

Russia together amount to 1889 battalions OF

only operate with divided forces. The tripar
