Rail ROad-lt is evident the interest in
the projected Railroad from Boston to Can
ada line is on the increase, and those who
have heretofore professed great deal of in
fidelity upon the subject, are now beginning
to feel its importance, aud no longer look
upon the prospect as "castlng its shadows
before" but as one that can and uriH finally
be accomplished.
The Vergennes Vermonter has hereto
fore treated the subject with apparent deris-
ion-and looked upon it as all mOOnshiHe !;
but now, the editor thinks public opinion
eyinces something more than building cas-
ties in the air." aud good may grow out Of

tensive aud unparalleled waterfalls of Ouer
Greek would soon be employed in carrying
hundreds of thousands of spndles, and the

be almost without number This would al
so be the case with nearly every town thro'
