| highly satisfactory to the audience, as
was the harvest song by eight children.

ing Legislature will be asked to charter
and will seek to divert the business of the
Lake road west of Hardwlck to Boston
instead of Portland. The proposed road
Will shorten the distance from stations
west OF Hardwick to Boston many miles.
The grade for the first three miles out of
Hardwick will be rather -hard, about
ninety feet to the mile, but from the sum-
nit to Marshfield the grade will be very
easy. The natural formation of the
ground renders its construction very
easy. Aside from its furnishing shorter
through line to Boston, it will enable the
owners of an almost ineEhaustible gran
lite quarry in Woodbury. to develop it and
make it a most powerful rival of the
Barre quarries. There are also along the
line large tracts OF timber land which
only need railroad facilities to be rem
dered valuable. 1t is said the road will
