THE effect on the Central Vermont rail

has long been urged on the attention of the
government by Mr.. Smalley, the presen
collector of this port, and for some years
director in the Central Vermont railroad
AS this business has been going by the wa.
of Portland and has furnished quite large
return to the steamers sailing from tina
port, we are very hopeful that with tn
opening of the port of st. Adams quite al
increase in the revenues of our road will re
suit therefrom and that the Grand Trunl
! railway will be ready to cooperate with II
to that end"

every occasion that presents itself" W. K
