Portland and ogdensbure.

The bill prepared in behalf of the trustees
under the mortgage of the Portland and 0g-
densburg Railroad company of Nov. /, 1871,
to enable, so far as New Hampshire is con-
cerned, the bondholders to organize a corpor-
alton and receive possession of the railroad
from the trustees, was introduced into the
legislature of New Hampshire last week, and
referred to the railroad committee The
Boston and Lowell railroad company has ap-
peared to oppose the bill; but has offered to
withdraw opposition, if the friends of the
bill will agree that the road shall not be ex-
tended west of Fabyan's. This seems to be
pure piece of unjustifable hostility and in
reference, to which of course, the friends, of
the bill cannot submit. 1t is believed the
committee will report the bill.

had their staff along with them, and alto
gether it was a very numerous and happy
crowd that waved their handkerchiefS as the
Cimbria began to distance the Z. z. Shaw.
But they had eaten no dinner, and were too
hungry to watch the Shaw's inglorious race
with slow tug boat, SO they crowded down
into the saloon, where there were about a
bushel of crackers, the size OF pie plates, and
a cheese that would perhaps go inside the
bass drum on the upper deck. But the Yer
mont women knew how to cut a cheese, and
the rest had an idea of what the cheese was
there for. When the crackers seemed too
dry, there was pop beer to help them along,
and the lunch went on merrily until cheese,
crackers and beer had gone out of sight.
Meanwhile the steamer, with now and then
a halt to let the Shaw catch up in order that
her people might hear the band, had gone
around House Island and was headed along
Falmouth Foreside. At 5 O'Clock, as all
hands had settled down to enjoy themselves
they rounded Great Chebeague, and the re-
turn trip began, 1t was 6 o'clock when
Maine ladies left the boat, delighted with
Casco Bay and the accommodations of the
steamer Cimbria.
During the trip, Mrs Whitman Sawyer,
president of the Maine State Relief Corps,
received as present a volume of Mrs. Sher-
woods poems, the gift of Mrs. Leila p Ro-
