Total train mileage 49,. ........
The following is the traffic.

The falling off in the local tonnage and the
consequent receipts therefrom in the last wear
has been owing to the low price ruling for Ger.
tain classes OF lumber manufactured upon the
line OF this road, and to the fact that no ice
was cut at the Sebago Lake during tho last
season.
The prospect of the company for the coming
year seem brighter than at any time since the
opening of the road. The fact that a corpora
ton, not friendly to the transaction of
through western business by this company
with its immediate connecting lines, owned
and controlled the passage way over the out
let of Lake Champlain, (the only connecting
link between the ST. Johpsbury & Lake
Champlain Railroad at Swanton and the
Ogdensburg a. Lake Champlain Railroad at
Kouse's Point has been the cause of the de-
feat of every effort heretofore made to secure
a fair proportion of that business. The
Lamoile Valley Extension road, built by Mr..
VIM. ID. Vanderbilt and Mr.. Geo. B. Phelps
OF New York, completed and opened in De-
cember, and TO be controlled and operated by
the 0. & l.. G. Il. r. Co., will remove the
principal obstacle to q free interchange of
such business both by lake and rail. Already
several of the "Color Line" companies have
made arrangements to come into Northern
New England via the new road, and arrange
msnts, long delayed but repeatedly attempted,
will, it is expected, be soon consummated by
which an unobstructed freight line by lake
and rail, and both passenger and freight lines
all rail, to all western points will be per-
manently secured.
A portion of the Canadian export lumber
trade has also found its way over your road to
the seaboard. coming from the line of the
Canadian Pacific Railway-which business
bids fair to increase very largely in the future.

Let These Things be Considered.

Let These Things be Considered.
Thousands of men die every day who could
be saved. Prejudice is mainly to blame for
this loss of life. II it were believed that the
sum of disease may certainly be reduced by
physic. much would be gained. And yet the
proposition is very simple; if you take out dali
ly more impurities than is daily generated, you
will soon be rid of impurities. The effect OF
this wise practice is soon seen in Bilious, Liver
and Kidney troubles. But it is equally OF value
in head and brain affections; in Pleursy ,Pueu-
monia, Apoplexy and Paralysis.
In chronic and acute Rheumatism, and in
all affections of the bowels this principle soon
relieves and cures, when the medicine used is
BRANDRErH's PILLS.
Yes, when all other means and medicine
have failed to relieve from pain, these pills
have cured, by taking impurities from the
bowels and blood, and thousands of men and
women now place BRANpRETH's PILLS among
the blessings Of mankind.

that State bv precisely the same system OF
ballot-box stulling, brutality to voters, ana
fraudulent returns. There is not doubt that
they would have succeeded but for the inter
vcntion of United states authorities under the
present election law.
