According to the Lyre a very fine de
post of lime has been discovered lately
on Pass Greek, north of Saratoga. Sam
pies were brought to Town and experts
pronounce it to be by far the best lime in
the territory. Plasterers here who have
been in the habit of using other lime
find this Platte Valley article much better
in quality, it being much whittier and
easier Stacked. The first loads brought
in are being used in the plastering of the
church and recto'y, and give good salts
faction. These loads are but surface
lime and it will improve as it is taken out.

Some New Workers Think 1t viii
Shorten the ocean Route.

NEW YORK, Febru Try 3.-The Times says !:
The reports which have been circulated so
freely for the last few days to the effect that
the New York & New England Railroad
Company was at last to have the indepen-
dent entrance into this city which it has so
long been anxious to procure. are undoubted-
ly based on strong foundation.
Mr.. Russell Sage, about two years ago,
purchased a little railroad running to the
northeastward from Calais, Me. The road
was bankrupt at the time, and bad been
bankrupt for several years. Curious people
wondered what Mr.. Sage could want with
such property. But Mr.. Sage did not ex-
plain. He is not given to making explana-
tions of what he does.
The reason for his purchase has now been
made plain. 1t may be stated positively
that Mr. Sage has observed with some glee
that his little road is likely to play most
important part in big scheme, back of
which is the Canadian Pacific rsilroad. The
scheme is to deliver passengers, mails, and
freight from New York in LIVERPOOL in ex-
This, it is declared, can be done by "a
hours rail journey to st. John, and a four
days sea voyage from St. John to Holyhead.
Included in the rail route are to be the New
Z Yopa and New England the Maine hg,t Central en-
Maine Central from Bangor TO Calais, on the
st. Croix River, and Mr.. Sage's little road
from Calais to st. John. From st. John
there will be run to Europe a line of
steamers Of modern construction under
Canadian Pacific management.
The Maine Central, 1t Is said, will begin
active operations on the proposed road from
Bangor to Calais in the early spring. The
charter for the road was granted some time
ago, and it is predicted that within a year
the land portion of the new route to Europe
will be completed.
