"Mr. Clergue, solicitor for the Maine Central
Railroad, has had an interview with the local gov
ernment. Mr.. Clergue recently spent several weeks
at Augusta securing legislation for construction of
road from Bangor to Moosehead Lake, distance
of 90 miles, to connect with the International rail
way, which when completed will give the Maine
Central short connection with the Canadian Paci-
fc system. The proposition of the Maine Central
to the Nova Scotia government is said to be this:
Provided the government will guarantee interest on
the bonds to the extent of over 81 100000, some
say 81, 300, ,000 they will make their own terms
with theWestern Counties andWindsor & Annapolis
railway companies and will build the link between
Annapolis and Digby by route farther back than
that nowslaid out along the shore. They will run
daily lines of fast freight and passenger boats be-
tween Annapolis, Digby, Yarmouth and Mt. Desert
Ferry, and thus develop travel and traffic between
western Nova Scotia and the New England States.
These, it is sad the main features of the propo
sition.

MT. VERNON, o., March 14.-One day dur
ing the month Of January last, DR.. Ayres, liy-
ing at Homer, Licking county, about ten miles
south OF this city, while walking along the
bank of the Licking river, observed stone
lying in the gravel, which attracted his atten-
tion. He picked it up and after a careful ex-
animation came to the conclusion that it
might prove to be of some value. A few
weeks later he went to Newark and presented
value. The jeweler pronounced the stone to
be diamond, but for lack of sufficient knowl-
edge could not tell its value. By his advice,
DIR. Ayres went to New York and submitted
the jewel to the best lapidaries. Each pro-
nounced it valuable diamond, the finest and
largest ever found in the United States. The
stone weighed AZ carats in the rough, being
the size Of large nutmeg. DIR. Ayres was Of
fered $4,000 for his prize, which he refused, as
he decided to have the stone polished, bein e
confident that it will prove to bs worth many
times the sum offered him.
