between them. which now hardly exists
and which promises 10 be advantageous
and profitable to both.
The people who reside along the route
ofthe proposed road, have given a proof
Of the interest which they feel in the un-
dertaking, by subscription OF million
Of dollars in the stock. OF this subscrip-
lion, more than half viz 1892 shares, is
made by 1904 farmers of Vermont, who
are DESTROYS of finding an advantageous
outlet for their produce, by an avenue
leading directly to his'ci,y, the only pres

taken by the merchants, mechanics. and
professional men of the State, who are
DESTROYS of improving the condition of
their State by the proposed communca-

expectations OF great benefit from it, are

it will be equally beneficial TO those

exhibition of public spirit, merely, that

OF a profit upon it. In this view the large
subscription by the farmers, merchants,
