VERMONT RAILROAD. In our last we no
ticed the plan for railroad from Boston TO
Bsatticboroagh, VI. As the subject excites
considerable attention in :he section of country
through which it is proposed for it to pass. a.
well as IN those parts If Vermont, where its eff
feels will be felt, if carried into operation. we
again advert To It, for the purpose Of desiVnat-
ing, more particularly, the probable route of
the rold As no survey has been made, rx-
prrssy in refeT1uCe Ints prnluUt, IT 10 uv'-
dent that no certain calculation can be made on
the particular location of all the parts yet,
from veys made for other purposes, and from
information Obtained from other sources,
it is believed that no great variation would
need be made from the following route. viz +:
To comm.nce on The empty basin Of the
Boston Mill-DLm Corporation. and run parallel
with the Western Avenue, through Brighton,
thence upon the south side nf Charles River
to cross said river between Watertown bridge
and the Bemis Factory thence between the
road and river to the head of Watham Plain !;
thence across TO the nnrth side Of the new
road, upon the survey made by James F. Bald
win. Esq ih 1898 through Weston and Sud-
bury to White Pond then by Inclining a little
to the right. favorable ground is found, which
leads by Rock Bottom Factories, through the
south part of Stow, to the road west of Stow
Brook near Bolton line; thence through Boil
ton, Lancaster. upon the east side of Nashua
al. I IN
1926 by L. Baldwin, Esq which follows up the
middle branch of the Nashua, to Ashhurnham
through Winchcndon village on Millers River
to Athol, Royalston, Orange, Ervngs Grant
10 Guna's bridge: where is found the most
convenient lNe through Mortified to the Fer.
nv, which is about eight miles north of Miller:
River; thence across the Connecticut Rivel
Ia the west side through Vernon to Brattle
borough
The route is believed 10 be favorable one
I,y passing through Winchend,n Village, The
direction is made little circuitous, hut tn,
line is more level and it would accommodate
branch, to he extended to Keene N H., ahnu
90 miles distant and thus secure the business
Of that fl ,urishing town and its vicinity.
The distance the proposed route is ahou
lie miles, and good granite for cons' ructin!
the road ahounds on most of the way.
BrLcHERrowN Barr. Tho reports in reiu
ton To this hank are Of most unlavorabl
character. Why, we would again ask, do NJ
the Directors rive the public some iuforma,in
relative TO its standing Do they intend /
suffer the bills TO be deprecated 10 n triflin
value, aud then, after spectators hive mn,
chased them up, 10 receive them at their non
ina! value in payment Of debts due the banl
and thus to defrand honest creditors Of the
rights, We hope not. Yet, even such thing
are reported, and will be believed unless sou
measures are taken to prevent il. II is eve
said that some of tho directors. themselves. M
engaged in tho speculation. We will I've obi.
cd to any person who will furnish us, free
postage, with a list of the names Of the prcsei
board of Directors.
