But at length he fumbled among his papers, cleared away the lump in his throat, and glanced significantly at Mr. Bascom. "The Committee on Incorporations, to whom was referred House bill number 302, entitled "An act to incorporate the Pingsquit Railroad," having considered the same, report the same with the following resolution: 'Resolved, that it is inexpedient to legislate.
