Railroad News.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will soon confine all the running of its
fast freight lines over its own system.
BY the acquisition of the Western New
York & Pennsylvania it now has di-
rect line to Buffalo, and it is stated that
the Empire Fast Freight line will be
run over it's own lines between Phila-
delphia, Erie and Buffalo Heretofore
a considerable portion of this business
has gone over other lines, especially
the Lehigh Valley.
~
The acquisition by the Pennsylvania
Railroad of the Western New York q
Pennsylvania and it's merger with the
Allegheny Valley into one grand divis-
ion of the system have necessitated the
bringing of the Western New York
& Pennsylvania up to the physical
standard of the Pennsylvania, and as
the result of careful inspections made
by the officials from time to time nu-
merous changes have been recon-
mended and will be made in the near
future A number of the heavier
grades on the lines are to be reduced,
some of the worst curvatures eliminat-
ed, and new and heavier steel bridges
are to be erected at various points.
From Brockton to Buffalo 9O-pound
steel rails are to be put down and the
entire road placed in condition for
heavy and quick travel.

 ield at this popular dry goods house,
 and & glance over their advertisement shows that thsras.~ practically no end to ] the bargains o1eren, This sale of mill

THE CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL.

THE CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL.
 The Christmas entertainment for the Sunday school which took place in the Methodist church, Sandy Hook, on Fri day evening, December g, was one of the prettiest and most unique affairs we have seen in long time. It was 8 sur prise to all, as Rev and Mrs Sawyer car- ried out all the details and are worthy of 8 great deal of credit. Rev Mr Sawyer, with his own hands, built the chimney and the completeness of the work should entitle him to the place of "Master Ma son." The fireplace with it's andirons, the mantel with it's antique candlestick and candle, the bowls and stockings hung up for old Santa to fill, and Santa himself coming down the chimney with 8 bag on his back laden with presents for the children, were all as life like as in the olden time. The children of the school all took part and were well re- warded by beautiful present from San- ta's bag. There was also appropriate music. The entertainment was consider ed great treat, both to old and young, and will not soon be forgotten.
